Consequences

Samhain Publishing, Ltd., 2007

Exciting & Romantic!!!
This book will keep you on the edge of your seat! Ms. Winfree has done a wonderful job with recreating small-town characters...so much so, that you feel as if you are right there with them. The book is full of action, suspense, and a great romatic couple.

Keith Olbermann

Random House, 2007

A truly revealing and excellent book
Certainly, those persons who spend their days as apologists for the Bush Administration, with their heads firmly buried in the sand, will list out all the reasons why this book is owned by the democratic party, and they'll shriek out the usual evangelistic defenses of ...

Thought Provoking for the Open-Minded

Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences

John Allen Paulos

Hill and Wang, 2001

An Interesting Read
This was an interesting book that I would highly recommend to anyone NOT number-savvy. I had heard good things about it, and as someone who appreciates the importance of math, I thought it would be great to check out. It was written with the lay-person as its target ...

Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control: A Love-Based Approach to Helping Attachment-Challenged Children With ...

John Maynard Keynes

Prometheus Books, 2004

J.M. Keynes & his relevance today
Having never read Keynes before, and having only heard politicians and pundits either lionize or pillory him, I am in awe of the depth and substance of his thinking. This book, written after World War I is, in my opinion, required reading for all who would analyze our ...

Culture's Consequences: Comparing Values, Behaviors, Institutions and Organizations Across Nations

Geert Hofstede

Sage Publications, Inc, 2003

Very valueable, if taken as Hofstede has meant it
Although many comments have already been accumulated let me add something, since some of the reviews tend to get out of focus. Hofstede never claimed to have studied cultures in general, he studied effects of culture on work-related values. For this topic his work is ...

excellent study of US position in the world.
