Antonin Scalia, Bryan A. Garner
Thomson West, 2008
Written for lawyers, but valuable for everyone
We all need to make arguments. Whether it is something as benign as trying to decide where to have lunch or something as serious as whether Mom needs to be place in an enhanced care facility, we need to be able to think, write, and speak clearly about what we want to do. How do we form the argument? Does our order of presentation matter? What should we know about the person or board we are ...

If you enjoy an enterprising adventure, you'll love this one. More than investment epic biography; it is an exciting light fun read. There are tidbits of investing genius around every corner.

The Making of the Atomic Bomb150 reviews
Richard Rhodes
Simon & Schuster, 1995
The best on the subject
I am an amateur scholar of the Manhattan Project, its consequences and the weapons programmes of other nations. I have approx. 3 metres of book shelf space devoted these topics. This volume is Rhodes' masterwork, the best, most comprehensive book on the subject. Pief Panofsky thought so, too.
This book makes an excellent basis for a college-level course on the history of the Bomb, or as ...

Jack Weatherford
Three Rivers Press, 2005
Culture Shock
I never knew how much I didn't know until I read this book. I only read it because of my book group, and everyone in the group was enthusiastic about it. I think that you'll like this book, even if history wasn't your favorite subject, and that you'll learn something from it even if it was. I wish all my history teachers had made this required reading instead of the thick, unreadable surveys ...

Making Children Mind without Losing Yours34 reviews
Dr. Kevin Leman
Revell, 2005
Wonderful for kids, spouses and coworkers
My mother-in-law gave me this book when I got married. I was not sure if it was for my husband or because she anticipated children :)
I found the concepts in this book worked equally well for the kids, my spouse and my co-workers. I am always using the term "reality disipline".

Tom Igoe
Make Books, 2007
Great book of projects involving communications and networking
When I first heard about this book, I assumed it was about projects for speech synthesis. When I read the details on the publisher's site I was somewhat disappointed - talking meant communications in this case. However, I ordered it anyway and was quite delighted by the results. The book is well illustrated, well written, and contains 26 very interesting projects. If you are teaching networking ...

Add My Voice to the Chorus
§
Perhaps only a little off-key since I am not a project manager -- altho my professional life is made much easier by working with some dedicated ones.
I did not read the previous edition as the other reviewers did. In fact, I was not really intending to read this edition straight through. I was going to give it a good skim for those aspects of project management that intersect my own world ...
