by: Edward Chancellor List Price: $15.00 Amazon.com's Price: $10.50 You Save: $4.50 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Edward Chancellor's "Devil Take The Hindmost" should be required reading for all stock market investors. For the last 400 years, stock markets the world over have intermmittently gone from boom to bust. The amazing thing about these cycles is how similar each is to those preceding it. For example, the 1990's "bubble" economy was very similar to the 1920's bubble economy. In other words, we just don't seem to learn our lessons very well. This book is a historical analysis which summarizes ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

|
by: Dr. Hunter S. Thompson Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Outstanding!!! Once again, gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson proves that his peculiar way of meeting deadlines and covering the story with nothing but dangerous substances in his head isn't a wacked job but instead pure stealth journalism. From riding with the Hell's Angels to talking football with Richard Nixon, Thompson has been part of those moments that stand out in American culture. He's written books like "The Proud Highway", "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Fear & Loathing in America", which have become icon classics of an ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Ram Dass, Ram Dass, Mark Matousek, Marlene Roeder List Price: $14.14 Amazon.com's Price: $11.31 You Save: $2.83 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Ram Dass explores the profundities and challenges of human frailty in a very personal way in Still Here: Emracing Aging, Changing and Dying.

Loneliness, embarrassment, powerlessness, loss of role/meaning, and depression are explored in the early part of the book--and that's all before Ram Dass gets to the good stuff. As in Journey of Awakening and Be Here Now, the author does a wonderful job of clearly explaining the cause ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Roger Lowenstein List Price: $24.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.97 You Save: $7.98 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description In Origins of the Crash, Roger Lowenstein has written a fascinating account of the late 90's stock market bubble and subsequent collapse. The overriding theme of the book is that the culture of "shareholder value" was twisted from creating true long-term value into an obsession with the daily ups and downs of the companies' stock prices. It's an interesting way to view things and should prove thought provoking to many. Lowenstein makes a compelling case that the scandals of the past several years are not the work of just a few bad actors, but rather were ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
