Value Investing: Tools and Techniques for Intelligent Investment2 reviews
James Montier

Wiley, 2009

Food for Thought on Value Investing
I purchased this book some weeks ago, but finally had a chance to sit down with it this weekend at a coffee shop. My initial thought before I opened the cover was that it was yet another book on value investing. I would have been thrilled if I gleaned just a little tidbit from this tome. Boy, what an understatement. Montier has written a gem. It is an honor to be the first to post a review ...

John H. Walton

IVP Academic, 2009

Walton Finds a Missing Link in the Origins Debate
With this concise study, John Walton (professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College) has delivered a significant contribution to the ongoing conversation at the intersection of faith and science. Drawing upon the insights offered by ancient Near Eastern cultural and literary studies, he proposes that the creation account found in Genesis 1 is not a depiction of material origins at all. If his ... 		  
  







  
  
The Intelligent Investor: The Classic Text on Value Investing25 reviews
Benjamin Graham

HarperBusiness, 2005

Book Review from the Aleph Blog
Fifteen years ago, my mom gave me a book that would change my life: The Intelligent Investor, by Benjamin Graham. Prior to that time, I was primarily investing in mutual funds, and did not have a coherent investment philosophy. The Intelligent Investor provided me with that philosophy. What are the main lessons of this book? 1. Don't overinvest in equities. Markets wash out occasionally, ...

Any serious investor needs to read this ASAP
An investor, irrespective of his philosophy will gain insight and wisdom from this writing by Graham and Zweig.

Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of the Free106 reviews
Charles P. Pierce

Doubleday, 2009

This Explains So Much!
I bought this book expecting to be thoroughly amused, and I certainly was. Charles Pierce's fine writing style and ability to turn a witty phrase make Idiot America a delightful reading experience. But while I was laughing my way through the descriptions of dinosaurs wearing saddles and the ups and downs of Ignatius Donnelly's career, I was also aware that Pierce had anticipated some of my own ... 		  
  







  
  
Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design219 reviews
Stephen C. Meyer

HarperOne, 2009

Required Reading for an honest debate
This book should be required reading for anyone who believes they understand neo-darwinian evolution and is open to see another point of view. The author has provided a great resource for understanding the challenges that exist in the case for natural selection and random chance as the cause of the information rich systems of all living cells. And the the author has done a clear and very ... 		  
  







  
  
The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster122 reviews
Bobby Henderson

Villard, 2006

Get the hardcover version
There are already over 100 reviews on this book, most of which talk about the content of it. Rather than add yet another you will likely skim over and ignore, I'm going to talk about the quality of the hard cover version of the book. Many of the reviews comment about the rather poor quality of the paperback. It gets bent, curls, falls apart, or otherwise is just not that sturdy. The hard cover ... 		  
  







  
  
Children: The Challenge : The Classic Work on Improving Parent-Child Relations--Intelligent, Humane & ...59 reviews
Rudolf Dreikurs, Vicki Soltz

Plume, 1991

Children: The Challenge
Few books can be an helpful for a harried parent than Rudolf Dreikurs book, Children: The Challenge. Each chapter is like a tool in a tool box that you pull from memory as situations arise with your child. While the book was written many, many years ago, it continues as a classic that I can't recommend highly enough. This copy was bought so I could refresh my skills as a first time ... 		  
  







  
  
Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics54 reviews
William Lane Craig

Crossway Books, 2008

Remarkable and Rigorous Christian Apologetic Resource
William Lane Craig books hold many commodious rational delectations for students, philosophers, and apologists. With "Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics," the compelling attraction is his exposition of the theistic proofs. He supplies the historical overview of each proof, from the ontological argument to the evidence for the Resurrection of Christ, and writes in an accessible and ... 		  
  







  
  
Raising An Emotionally Intelligent Child37 reviews
John Gottman, Joan Declaire

Simon & Schuster, 1998

A Must-Read for all Parents, Grandparents and Childcare
Emotional Intelligence, EQ, has a lot of great resources, such as the classics by Daniel Goleman Emotional Intelligence: 10th Anniversary Edition; Why It Can Matter More Than IQ and his workbooks, as well as a wealth of great studies by Harvard Business, MIT, McKinsey and Wharton, but this book takes a wonderful look at how to raise your child as an "emotional coach". Negative emotions are a fact ... 		  
  







  
  
The Intelligent Investor: A Book of Practical Counsel65 reviews
Benjamin Graham

Harper & Row, 1986

Buffett's most favorite investment book
Buffett consider this book the best ever written about investment. He wrote the preface for the book. In the preface, he said if we learn two things from the book, first take advantage of Mr. Market (As stock market prices go up and down, we should buy good company stocks with good discounts, and sell to take profits when prices gone too high) and second have Margin of Safety (One should only ... 		  
  







  
  
Algorithms of the Intelligent Web5 reviews
Haralambos Marmanis, Dmitry Babenko

Manning Publications, 2009

A soon to be classic Algo book for improving intelligent web applications
I have always had an interest in AI, machine learning, and data mining but I found the introductory books too mathematical and focused mostly on solving academic problems rather than real-world industrial problems. So, I was curious to see what this book was about. I have read the book front-to-back (twice!) before I write this report. I started reading the electronic version a couple of ... 		  
  







  
  
The Real Estate Game: The Intelligent Guide To Decisionmaking And Investment24 reviews
William J. Poorvu, Jeffrey L. Cruikshank

Free Press, 1999

Best of the RE Investment Books!
The vast majority of real estate investment books to be found in the Barnes & Noble investment section offer variations of Mark Twain's stock market advice: "making money in stocks is easy. Only buy a stock if it goes up; if it doesn't go up, don't buy it." By contrast, Poorvu walks readers through myriad real estate investment situations, fleshing out the risks and rewards, and the mindsets ... 		  
  







  
  
Consumer Health: A Guide To Intelligent Decisions5 reviews
Stephen Barrett, William London, ...

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2006

Barrett is a must-read!
The above review is silly--it's like saying I bought a computer book from 5 years ago and it's out-of-date. Duh. Anything by Barrett is a must-read, because he exposes core truths about health quackery and frauds. 		  
  







  
  
Stuff Good Players Should Know: Intelligent Basketball from A to Z10 reviews
Dick DeVenzio

Bridgeway Books, 2006

One of the Best
This should be given to and read by every young basketball player as early as possible. Anyone who doesn't like this book has never coached young players. Very very helpful. 		  
  







  
  
The Intelligent Asset Allocator: How to Build Your Portfolio to Maximize Returns and Minimize Risk57 reviews
William Bernstein

McGraw-Hill, 2000

Expert Treatise On Asset Allocation
An excellent and scholarly work on asset allocation with pertinent historical data and simple understandable explanations of the mathematical concepts involved. I highly recommend this book to anyone truly trying to figure how to best balance investment return vs risk. 		  
  







  
  
Only a Theory: Evolution and the Battle for America's Soul59 reviews
Kenneth R. Miller

Viking Adult, 2008

Excellent overview of The Controversy
I first heard about Kenneth Miller while reading about the Kitzmiller V. Dover case. Miller is a principal author of the Biology textbook used in many high schools today. The book is so popular among science teachers that he's sometimes asked to autograph their copies, and after reading Only A Theory, I can understand why - the man is a gifted author. In this book, Miller makes the important ... 		  
  







  
  
Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism224 reviews
David Mills

Ulysses Press, 2006

This Book Changed My Life!
I have always considered myself a agnostic but never even considered atheism. This book convinced me of the truth of atheism and I would highly recommend it for "Starter" atheist before moving on the the "Heavy" stuff like dawkins. 		  
  







  
  
Introduction to Autonomous Mobile Robots (Intelligent Robotics and Autonomous Agents)4 reviews
Roland Siegwart, Illah R. Nourbakhsh

The MIT Press, 2004

Great emphasis and overview
Having spent years working in this field, this book in my opinion places the emphasis on one of the most basic yet most important robotics problems of today: mobility. It also addresses other broad issues related to mobile robots. Despite the book's breadth, it is filled with numerous great examples of functioning robots. The robotics problems tackled by each chapter are ... 		  
  







  
  
The Lathe Of Heaven: A Novel71 reviews
Ursula K. Le Guin

Scribner, 2008

Excellent sci-fi classic to add to your library
As an avid sci-fi reader for many years, I don't know how I missed this author before. "The Lathe of Heaven", originally published nearly four decades ago, deals with a man whose dreams become reality and the exploitation of this dubious "gift" for the sake of the ultimate good for mankind. Set in a local U.S. city, naming familiar streets and sights, I couldn't put it down. Read cover to ...
