The Forbes Book of Business Quotations : 14,173 Thoughts on the Business of Life ReviewMy only complaint about this compilation is that the title is misleading. These are quotes about all aspects of life and human character. The quotes are arranged by theme and carefully indexed by author. It's great for just browsing or for picking up when you need something specific. I own an entire bookshelf of quotation compilations and this is one of my favorites. No quote love should be without this book.The Forbes Book of Business Quotations : 14,173 Thoughts on the Business of Life Overview

63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You to Read ReviewDid you know that our government planned on intentionally killing our own soldiers and civilians to falsely justify an invasion of Cuba? That led to President Kennedy's firing of the General who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. That came on the heels of "SIOP-62"; the "Single Integrated Operational Plan" was an actual military proposal for the total nuclear annihilation of the entire Communist bloc in 1962. It was formally presented to President Kennedy as a recommendation and he was so furious that he literally stormed out of the meeting in disgust.
Understanding our history is vital because informing us of the near catastrophes of the past also helps us avoid them going forward. So if you think that "false flag" attacks and the rounding up of innocent citizens are the realm of overzealous "conspiracy theorists," then this book is a very important heads-up.
In "63 Documents," Ventura & Russell team up successfully again in a no-holds-barred exposé of government corruption:
#1: Links between past government perpetrations and today's political agendas, such as the CIA's Secret Assassination Manual: "Maybe they should change the name to the CIA's 'Secret First Degree Murder Manual.' How is it that we are allowed to kill other people if we're not in a declared war with them?"
#2: Delves into a series of government, military, and corporate secrets. Many veterans of the first Gulf War suffer adverse health conditions, yet the government denies the validity of Gulf War Syndrome. "What's it going to take for our leaders to consider the real cost of these endless wars?"
#3: A history of "shady" White Houses. Including an internal war "between Nixon and Richard Helms, director of the CIA... Time and again, the CIA thumbs its nose -- even at Presidents. So who runs this agency if the President doesn't?"
#4: The truth about the terrible events of Sept. 11, 2001. "The question that's haunted me from day one is: "How come the world's biggest military superpower was somehow oblivious to rogue airliners in American air space for more than an hour?"
#5: Examines the true facts behind the "War on Terror"-- such as the CIA's destruction of detainee torture videos.

Indoctrination: How 'Useful Idiots' Are Using Our Schools To Subvert American Exceptionalism ReviewDo you think children should be "pledging allegiance to the Earth" instead of to the American flag? Should they be taught that if bees were workers, they'd be more valuable to the world's GDP than all of us, combined? Should kids in farming communities be taught, systematically, that their parents' use of tractors is killing polar bears by way of emissions and global warming?
Sadly, as Kyle Olson exposes in this eminently readable book -- that's exactly what kids in America are being taught in public schools. "Indoctrination" provides a lion's share of shocking, sad, and outrageous examples of the nonsense that leftist agitators are forcing on children when their parents aren't around. In short, Olson shows that kids are being taught everything BUT what parents are sending their kids to school to learn: things like English, math, and history.
Perhaps most surprising, as I learned in this book, is how many schools are trashing tried-and-true curriculum for lesson plans crafted by far-left foundations, nonprofits, and environmental extremists. Is your kid going to school and, in science class, instead of dissecting a frog or learning about physics, watching a series of anti-corporate, anti-American videos on YouTube created by Greenpeace?
This is a solid book, but it's shocking in what it uncovers.Indoctrination: How 'Useful Idiots' Are Using Our Schools To Subvert American Exceptionalism Overview

Smartest 401(k) Book You'll Ever Read: Maximize Your Retirement Savings...the Smart Way ReviewI bought the updated edition (Feb. 2010) from my local Costco store and read the entire book from cover to cover in two hours. (I have a background in investment, but currently unemployed.) I feel rather ambivalent about the author and the book.
On the one hand, I totally agree with his claim that the entire 401(k) system is corrupt, as is the entire investment management industry, and the U.S. government is a willing and active cohort in this scam to rob American employees of their retirement savings. My own 401(k) plans have seen paltry returns over the last 15 years, despite my effort at picking the "best" funds that were available to me. (No, I don't chase past year's performance.) Call me bitter, but from talking to my friends and former coworkers, this seems a commonplace experience, and this book explains why it's the case. The action chapters, esp. in part 3, are also decent, although as another reviewer has said, the entire action plan can be summarized in two sentences: diversify your portfolio, and only invest in low-cost index funds. The author does provide a list of funds to consider, although your plans may not offer them at all (see the "cheat sheet" in chap. 24 of the 2010 edition).
On the other hand, I'm not sure what the author's true motive in writing this book is. Is it really to help us worker bees to save for our (gloomy) retirement? As I was reading the book, I got the feeling that he was writing the book primary to sell the book, kind of doing what the mutual funds he criticizes are doing. For example, he cherry-picks on certain numbers, such as quoting historical returns without mentioning the significant inflationary effect of survivor bias (i.e., only companies that survive get included in calculating market returns).* He compares accumulative returns (using a 40-year horizon -- man, how many readers of this book have that many years to contribute to a 401(k) plan???) between a 2% expense ratio fund and a 0.3 expense ratio fund, but neglects to tell you that the difference is partially tempered by taxation. He does provide a bibliography, which is good, but who knows if he only picked the "research" that he agreed with and omitted anything that contradicts his belief?
The 2010 paperback edition also suffers from certain logic lapses, such as the first chapter about "Wan Ba Shi," as well as typos and grammatical errors.
One warning I should give is, the book's website appears to be mostly a marketing gimmick for his IFA products. I took the 25-question survey. At the end of the survey, I *HAD TO* give them my name, state, home *and* work phone numbers, and e-mail address, in order to see the survey results. The result page itself is titled "Investment policy statement" and contains numerous references to his IFA company and also contains a signature section for me to sign!!! Not a good thing, Mr. Solin, for someone who claims to be impartial and to expose a rigged system.
* He mentions the evil effect of survivorship bias in tabulating active manager returns, but nothing about it when it comes to calculating market returns.Smartest 401(k) Book You'll Ever Read: Maximize Your Retirement Savings...the Smart Way Overview

Crisis: Cause, Containment and Cure ReviewI like this book. I have read a number of books on the financial crisis and the Great Recession and this is the best of them. It comprehensively, but succinctly, analyses the causes of the crisis, the actions that the authorities in the US and Europe have taken to contain it, and progress that has been achieved through early 2011 on measures to reduce the chances and severity of future crises. Working in the U.S. financial services industry during the S&L crisis and subsequently as a senior regulator in the UK's Financial Services Authority (FSA), and with a rare command of both academic and policy analysis, the author is unusually well placed to command crisis events in both Europe and the US.
In his analysis of the causes of the crisis, the author seeks to find what went wrong and thus needs to be fixed. In doing so he avoids the pitfall of so many analysts in the US who make political points by placing the blame on either greedy bankers or ideologically driven governments that reward their supporters at the cost of their country's needs. The author `s description of crisis responses is enriched by examining the reasons for the US authorities, especially the Federal Reserve's slowness to respond in the early stage of the crisis. He blames a universal flaw in economic models that treat the financial sector as a passive transmission channel for policy stimuli rather than as an active, but flawed, player in the process.
Encompassing actions both in the US and in Europe enhances the author's analysis of progress in fixing the faults in the system. The chapters on failed bank resolution and regulatory reform encompassing the Basel Committee's introduction of revised capital standards and new liquidity requirements are particularly rewarding.
The book is well written, has a minimum of end-notes so that the reader is not forever scrambling to recover his place, but has an excellent list of references. Ending early in 2011, the book does not deal with the euro crisis, which can be perceived as the next phase of the crash that began in 2007. Perhaps the author will follow this up in a third edition of the book. Yet the book, as currently written, satisfied my hope that it will allow me to enjoy learning something new. I will give it as a gift to my friends.

Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (Grc): High-impact Strategies - What You Need to Know: Definitions, Adoptions, Impact, Benefits, Maturity, Vendors ReviewThis author does not exist. "Kevin Roebuck" is a pseudonym for a very busy plagiarist. He released ten "High-impact Strategies - What You Need to Know: Definitions, Adoptions, Impact, Benefits, Maturity, Vendors" in September of 2011 alone. And ten books before that in August. Then a dozens more this year alone.
Go ahead, take a peek inside. It's literally every article linked to this from Wikipedia. While they do not technically violate the law, such blatant content mining could only be done by automation.
After further investigation it seems that these scammers are not targeting English speakers. They run an automated content farm site [...]to use open source videos to sell guidebooks to sell certification courses. Plagiarized content or not "Teebo" or "Emero Publishing" are committing crimes against humanity.

The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water ReviewAs an editor in the pulp and paper industry, I'm aware of what our own industry is doing to use less water and recycle and reuse the water that it does use. But this book has given me a much broader view of the water issue thanks to Mr. Fishman's clever writing, excellent research, and fascinating stories drawn from his global travels. He has achieved the seemingly impossible by writing an entire book about the single topic of water, and making it fascinating reading. I'll never look at or think about water the same way again, and I've already found myself looking for little ways in which I can reduce my use of this precious resource.
This should be required reading for everyone.

But if you look at the description of the book in the webpage, you will see no mention of Wikipedia. Do not be fooled.
You can verify this for yourself by using Amazon's search facility on the contents of the book. Look at the back of the book and work your way from there. You might have to magnify some text. But the pages at the end describe that the material comes from Wikipedia URLs. Whereas if you press 'copyright' on the search page, the resultant page/s don't mention Wikipedia.

I mean that literally: the html pages from wikipedia are just printed out and bound into a book. If I look at the wikipedia versions of the articles, I can see that the text is the same, almost word for word. I say "almost" because several of the wikipedia articles have apparently had more content added to them since this author stole them.
Even the "references" and "external links" sections of the wikipedia articles are printed out. That's right, entire pages of unclickable links!

The German Economy: Beyond the Social Market ReviewWe recommend this excellent, comprehensive and straightforward book, which clearly sets out the author's diagnosis and prescription for the German economy: reform its approaches to education, social equity, subsidies, trade and more. Horst Siebert traces the roots of Germany's problems to the student movements of the '60s with their emphasis on collectivism and hedonism. He provides a detailed, highly readable account of German economic history. He covers the great recovery and prosperity that followed Ludwig Erhard's reforms of 1948 and the lagging growth that seemed to begin with the oil shocks and recessions of the 1970s and 1980s, but that has roots far deeper than oil. Siebert says, Germany's problems have no win-win solution. Some interest groups must lose if Germany is to restore economic growth and leave subsequent generations more than the invoice for today's excesses.The German Economy: Beyond the Social Market Overview

Gadgets and Gizmos: Personal Electronics and the Library (Library Technology Reports) ReviewPerhaps you may not have realized it, but we are living in the midst of an ongoing information revolution, in which personal electronics or "gadgets" and "gizmos" are key components that have tremendous potential to transform societies and institutions such as libraries. In this book, which was published as an issue of Library Technology Reports (Vol. 46, No. 3), Griffey (Head of Library Information Technology, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga; author of Mobile Technology and Libraries and with Karen A. Coombs Library Blogging; columnist for American Libraries "Perpetual Beta" and the ALA TechSource blog), a well- known library technology expert, provides a guide to several "current," relatively inexpensive-- most are less than $300 and none are greater than $500--personal electronic products and how they fit into any library's plans for a high- tech future. The author examines a handful of personal electronic products in terms of their features, performance, functionalities, costs, and applications for libraries. Focusing heavily on electronic book readers or e-readers, he also includes various multimedia devices for "capturing and consuming" as well as odd or unusual technologies. Some of the categories of gadgets reviewed by Griffey include e-readers, video cameras, audio recorders, scanners, and multimedia players. The author covers many of the most popular products such as Sony e-readers, the Amazon Kindle, the Barnes & Noble Nook, the Flip, the Sony Bloggie, the Zoom H2, the iPod Touch, the Apple iPad, and more. While he mainly scrutinizes personal electronic products of significance to libraries, librarians, and their patrons, he also references pertinent software applications and Internet websites. Professional and technical in approach, but understandable to anyone who may have a basic to intermediate knowledge of personal electronic products and their applications, this publication will be of interest to librarians and others. An important, informative resource for librarians and their staffs, it is highly recommended for public, academic, and special library collections--C. A.

Malware Detection (Advances in Information Security) ReviewThe methods in this book give a view of the state of the art in fighting malware. Written at a strong technical level for people wanting to detect viruses, worms, Trojans and other net dangers. The authors draw together ideas from a wide variety of sources.
One aspect is that the simple idea of virus signatures is under increasing assault from polymorphic viruses that make room within their bodies to insert random bit sequences. Which means that behavioural detection schemes now become more important. In general, these can be much harder to do, than simply finding a signature of a file and then comparing it against a blacklist. This can be done without running the file. A very safe approach. But some behavioural methods might involve having to run the file in a sandbox. Which is more elaborate, and might have the possibility that the binary might do unwanted things or even break out of a badly coded sandbox.
You can consider the text as a good sequel to books that have already been out for a few years, like "Malware: Fighting Malicious Code" by Skoudis and Zeltser, or "Counter Hack Reloaded" by Skoudis and Liston. One obstacle might be the list price of $139. Unfortunately, this is typical of the publisher's offerings, which have a specialised and limited audience. Still, the price can be reasonable, if it exposes you to just one new idea that you would not otherwise have encountered.Malware Detection (Advances in Information Security) Overview

Mission-Critical and Safety-Critical Systems Handbook: Design and Development for Embedded Applications ReviewOnce again Kim Fowler offers a book that is packed with valuable, practical information for building real systems, in this case, embedded computer-controlled systems that can affect the health, safety and welfare of the public. The contributors all have deep experience in building and delivering these kinds of systems - not just studying them from afar. One of the biggest problems with books purporting to offer guidance on building real-time systems, critical systems, etc. is that the authors often have never actually built such systems. When building these kinds of systems, experience is the best teacher, and this collection of studies embodies a great deal of real-world experience.
The set of case studies selected is appropriate, covering medical systems transportation systems, infrastructure control systems, military systems and more. Much of the focus, appropriately, is on effective requirements elicitation and analysis - it is well known that failures in mission critical systems are largely due to errors in requirements engineering. Another important focus of the book is on regulatory compliance, which imposes an additional degree of difficulty for mission critical systems.
This book is a must have desk reference for those building mission critical software systems. It can also be used as a classroom text for courses in real-time systems or embedded systems.

Adobe Scripting: Your Visual Blueprint to Scripting in Photoshop and Illustrator ReviewThis book is written extremely well and perfect for someone like me who knows plenty of scripting languages but just needs help with the details in Photoshop and Illustrator.
The major problem is that this book was published in January of 2003 and was written for Photoshop 7 and Illustrator 10. Naturally, I have the CS package and that is just too new for this publication. When you run many many of the scripts (maybe most of them... I stopped using their examples after the first few) it hangs Photoshop or causes other errors. One "new document" script actually killed my G5 (first time ever I had to reboot from a crash!).
I phoned the company who made the book (maranGraphics) and they were not helpful. There is no new version of this book planned nor is there an "updates" website or any further help.
My advice: Unless you are working with only older versions of Photoshop and Illustrator, skip this book. Instead, use the PDFs that come with the CS package. They are as helpful as this book will be to you without the problems that will cause crashes.
My advice to Maran: You should take a clue from other companies that make tech help books and provide a free "updates" site that includes differences between your book and later releases of software or any errata or whatnot. As it is, this book is only good for a few months and as specialized as this topic is, that means few sales.Adobe Scripting: Your Visual Blueprint to Scripting in Photoshop and Illustrator Overview

NPR: The Trials and Triumphs of National Public Radio ReviewI'll confess that NPR (the book, not the radio network) was not quite what I expected. I anticipated a semi-lightweight book that combined weighty historical events with a deft, humorous hand, sort of like NPR itself. Opening it up, I looked forward to reading misty-eyed reminisces with Scott Simon and Terri Gross, or Bob Edwards and Susan Stamberg relating their experiences during the early days of NPR.
Nope. This book may be a relatively quick read (130 pages, not counting the extensive end-notes), but it is a dense, meticulously researched, and quite serious history of the genesis and evolution of NPR. Particular attention is paid to the political processes that spawned it, as well as to the funding and leadership crises and challenges that it has experienced.
In short, while this isn't the fun stuff, it is the "brass tacks" important stuff.
While on-air personalities are not ignored, they get no more text allotted to them than NPR producers, news directors, and human resource managers. Thus, NPR (the book) is a non-profit corporate history. As someone with a high tolerance for the minutiae, I liked it. And others may as well, provided they know what they are getting into.NPR: The Trials and Triumphs of National Public Radio Overview
