Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association
American Psychological Association
American Psychological Association (APA), 2001
APA MANUEL fifth edition
The best thing that I ever did was to purchase the APA Manuel.
It has helped me with formating and the proper way to cite in text and referance in APA format. This book is much better than the Diane Hacker book on APA.

The Official Guide for GMAT Review, 11th Edition
Graduate Management Admission Council
Graduate Management Admission Council, 2005
#1
I love this book. People are saying that the questions in this one and the verbal and math supplements books are the same so I went to Barnes and compared the reading comp sections and all passages were different. So...I don't know if they're comparing with the 10th ...

The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
Michael Pollan
Penguin, 2007
The Life of Corn and the Death of American Health
The author has four hypotheses about how we Americans may have become such dysfunctional eaters, and about how our food supplies and our diets came to be the way they are.

Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us
Seth Godin
Portfolio Hardcover, 2008
If you're looking at this page this far ahead of publication, you're probably a member of Seth Godin's tribe. And if so, you already know what this book is about. You know about waiting in line at an Apple store, or the look on a fellow Deadhead's face. You know about the way it feels to go back to the church where you grew up. You know ...

The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
Naomi Klein
Picador, 2008
Klein hits a home run
Naomi Klein amazingly does it again with another well-researched provocative book. This book has an incredibly wide audience, since the lay audience will read, as will academice ones. I have assigned it as a possible book for the theoretical book assessment assignment ...

Good addition to other personality typing systems
I did the Strengths Finder for work and then asked my family if they wanted to do it too. We bought four books and all took the test. It revealed some new information not already covered by Meyers-Briggs, Enneagram, and other systems we've taken and analyzed ...

When Markets Collide: Investment Strategies for the Age of Global Economic Change
Mohamed El-Erian
McGraw-Hill, 2008
Finance bio from philosophical perspective
George Soros is a very interesting thinker.
It is true (as he more or less admits in his book)
that his philosophical ideas are somewhat "inexact"
by the analytic standards of that profession,
but the insights are real. He gives market equilibrium
theorists a ...

Great read! Economics made easy for the layperson
This is a great read written by a revolutionary economist with the gift of explaining complicated/complex economics to laypeople. A great job, and highly recommended. It will also make you reflect on how you make decisions and whether they are rational decisions.

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable

Best book I've read all year
I read a great number of titles on leadership, organizational development, and team building.
This book, told as a fable, is a very quick read and will seem unlike any other book of this sort you've read. As you read it, you'll feel as though the author has been ...

The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives
Leonard Mlodinow
Pantheon, 2008
Very good book that states something I have thought for some time.
Mlodinow has a good track record of making complicated subjects accessible to the average person. This book extends his track record. As a computational chemist/physicist, I am someone who is very familiar with the idea of randomness. Having done many Monte Carlo ...
