He tells the story of how the new social technologies of the web lower the barriers of cooperation so that individuals can share, create, and act together in new ways. This book should be read by anyone who want to more about how today's technological innovations are and will shape society and the organizations that comprise it. ...

Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In

140 reviews
Roger Fisher, William L. Ury

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1991

For the Person Who Wants to Expand The Pie of Negotiation Skills
In the fields of negotiation and mediation, one small book has had a tremendous impact. Published in 1981, Roger Fisher and William Ury's book, Getting to Yes, introduced the concept of "principled" or "interest-based" bargaining. It is difficult to find a negotiation or mediation course that does not reference this landmark text. It is one of the most well-known works in negotiation ...

Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too

68 reviews
Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish

Collins, 1998

Helping Children Get Along
A wonderful book on helping siblings get along. But I also highly recommend for parents and teachers the book:Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying. More than a bullying book, this really focuses on practical strategies,scripts, actual lessons and stories to teach children conflict resolution, friendship and communication skills; the importance of helping others ...

The World Without Us

Alan Weisman

Thomas Dunne Books, 2007

Life After People...
The World Without Us is a journey of discovery that shows us what the Earth may be like after mankind disappears, for whatever reason, and nature is allowed to take over without barriers or man made order being forced onto it each and every day. What will happen to our pets? What would happen to our cities? What would happen to all our stuff? The plastic bags? The steel cars? The power ...

My New Baby (New Baby Series)

59 reviews

Child's Play International, 2000

A Sweet & Wonderful Book
I absolutely adore this book! The lack of words (which my toddler rarely sits still long enough to hear anyway) means that you can make up explanations for and initiate conversations about the pictures that make sense for YOUR family. I was delighted to see the emphasis on the positive aspects of having a new baby, as opposed to the "Mommy and Daddy don't love me anymore and I hate the ...

Fish Without a Doubt: The Cook's Essential Companion

Rick Moonen, Roy Finamore

Houghton Mifflin, 2008

Thank you "Gourmet" for this recommendation
Do I need another cookbook? Well, I guess I did, if my first experience with this one is a foretaste (!) of what I can expect. I'm writing this after just finishing one of the best dinners I've ever experienced. I made the Sauteed Char with Hoisin Glaze and Wasabi Butter Sauce (p.238), although I used salmon. And, instead of bok choy or wilted cabbage, I made the Asian slaw (p.453). While ...

Malcolm Gladwell

Back Bay Books, 2007

A Critical Decision Making Tool!
Sometimes decisions need to be made quickly. All of our knowledge, education, experience, reasoning, intuition, common sense and confidence must come together rapidly. Malcolm Gladwell calls quick decision making thin slicing in his book: Blink. Thin slicing is the ability to focus on a small set of critical variables to make a quick decision rather than consciously considering every ...

World Without End

Ken Follett

Dutton Adult, 2007

What a marvelous book!
World Without End exceeded my expectations. The story takes place two centuries after its predecessor, Pillars of the Earth. The location is the same, the village of Kingsbridge, in England. Mr. Follet has created marvelous, believable characters to carry his story of building bridges, romances, serfdom, and the horror of the Plague. Like Pillars of the Earth, I was again sorry to finally read ...

Michael J. Bradley

Harbor Press, Inc., 2003

What a great book!!
I was at my wits end with my 17 year-old daughter. She was acting up quite a bit and my normal reaction was anger which resulted in nothing but a lot of yelling,hurt feelings, and sleepless nights. Out of desperation, I searched for something, ANYTHING, that would help me get back on track with my daughter. This book was a God-send! I couldn't put it down. Dr. Bradley's philosophies and ...

Brooke Siler

Broadway, 2000

The Best Pilates Book Out There
If you want to start a home Pilates program this book is the only one you should consider. It is well-written, with very detailed instructions and photos. I especially liked the bullet list of special tips included with each exercise and the categorization of the exercises into Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Very Advanced.

The Arrival

Shaun Tan

Arthur A. Levine Books, 2007

astonishing arrival
This is a brilliant masterwork of ....what exactly? Well, it's a graphic novel with the overwhelming force of franz Masereel's pioneering work 'The City' But it's also evocative of great literature, like Kafka's introductory chapters of 'Amerika' and 'The Castle', or his short story, The Animal in the Synagogue, and the dazzling architectural fantasy of Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. ...

The No-Cry Discipline Solution: Gentle Ways to Encourage Good Behavior Without Whining, Tantrums, and Tears ...

Elizabeth Pantley

McGraw-Hill, 2007

Should be required reading for new parents
I'm only slightly more than half-way through this book. However, in the last three days I have used techiniques from this book (on my three year old) and all three times successively. In my opinion, books of this nature are really psychology books (how to deal with another person, in this case a toddler/child, and how to put things into perspective for ourselves). Most everything here we ...

Making Children Mind without Losing Yours

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".

Creating a World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism

Muhammad Yunus

PublicAffairs, 2008

"the missing piece of capitalism"
"No one who cares about humanity," writes Muhammad Yunus, "is satisfied with a world in which a few hundred million people enjoy access to all the resources of the planet, while billions more struggle to survive." But that's our world. Yunus cites one study that concluded that in the year 2000, "the richest 1 percent owned 40 percent of the world's assets, and the richest 10 percent owned 85 ...

Carol Fenster

Avery, 2007

A Cookbook to Reach for Time and Time Again!
I have been gluten-free for two years now and have come to realize that most gluten free recipes are complex due to having to replace gluten with multiple ingredients to get a satisfactory taste and texture. Because of that, most of the cookbooks I own by Bette Hagman-although they are wonderful, too-just sit on my shelf unused. Who has time for 15 ingredients? Gluten-Free Quick and Easy ...

A Masterpiece!
I love the books of David Wiesner, they are imaginative and fun. He has amazing talent. Even as an adult I enjoy looking back through his books, just to admire the gorgeous scenes. It's a classic for any children's book collection.

Robert D. Hare

The Guilford Press, 1999

Highly readable intro to psychopaths by world's leading expert
It is not often that top level scientists can write a popular introduction to the field and successfully combine insights drawn from decades of clinical experience blended with anecdotal mini-histories that make the concepts come alive. The renowned researcher Dr. Robert D. Hare--the creator of the most widely used tests for analyzing psychopathy around the world--has written just such a book. It ...
