Customer Review: No new information in this book. Friedman took the title from the last book he wrote and extended it to one that appears to love the earth.
Customer Review: Peter Schiff is a professional doomsayer who strongly makes the case that the American economy is going to hell in a hand basket. Fast. He lays out this case in his book, CRASH PROOF. Given the backdrop of recent months, it is hard to say he is wrong. The book came out @ February of 2007 so... more info
Customer Review: The research behind this book is impressive and the theories are engaging. On the whole, it's well written and it all makes good sense. Most of these firms have done well over time, while some have not (e.g., Fannie May, Circuit City). What Good to Great does not cover is the role of serendipity and... more info

Kitchen Confidential reads similar to a feature on VH1's Behind the Music as Bourdain battles with... more info
Customer Review: I share most of the sentiments other negative reviewers have expressed about the book. It's insulting to every employee's intelligence (if they have any), although it was a nice way to waste several hours (it took me about 15 minutes to read the book, but we spent hours having meetings and group... more info
Customer Review: Unlike his negative review onair, his book explains in simple terms how and what to do for trading and investing. Good book for the beginner trader like myself. :P MUST BUY. Serious product.
Customer Review: In an ocean full of bigger fish it can be difficult to stop living on the offense and consider our own strengths. How will you stand out amongst the other 200 people at that job interview if you yourself have no idea what your strengths are? And if you don't know what you are good at, are you... more info
