Maestro: Greenspan's Fed And The American Boom 88 reviews Bob Woodward
Simon & Schuster, 2000
A precise time
+ Amazing book about Fed's work in layman's terms + Jared Wizner's Review of Maestro
I think that this book is very useful in the time we are living now. It show how the economy, especially the north american, but also the rest of the worl works. How the lack of responsability of what you offers to the market can destroy the market itself, and that, somehow must be supervise by ...

Onward to Victory: The Creation of Modern College Sports 6 reviews Murray Sperber
Henry Holt and Co., 1998
Best book about the "business" of college sports
+ Another outstanding book from Murray Sperber
I graduated from a school that now has an active movement towards moving up in Division 1-A football and another movement towards returning to "pure" non-scholarship sports. This book showed me that the worst abuses in college sports are well behind us. The chapters about Red Blaik's Army powers ...

Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and the Battle to Save Baseball 19 reviews Jose Canseco
Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008
Not as good as Juiced
I'm a big baseball fan and was surprised to see the revelations in Canseco's first book. I was even more surprised to see how many of them came true, and it shows me how messed up baseball was in the 90s. Anyway, in the new book he has way list dirt to dish. It's a lot of rehash, which made it much ...

Pros and Cons: The Criminals Who Play in the NFL 28 reviews Jeff Benedict, Don Yaeger
Grand Central Publishing, 1998
A very disturbing book...

I was very fortunate to read a book that gave you a feelimg that there are few football coaches out there who can coach football the old fashion way: physical discipline, honesty, and being a great motivator. For Bo to share the stories about Woody Hayes was just awesome. I feel that Bo went thru ...
