Notes:

If this book becomes a best-seller, the author knows what he's talking about. Otherwise, he hasn't managed to create a viral loop. (Current Amazon sales rank: 10,649).

Notes:

From a review in Newsweek: "In a display of altruistic masochism that we should all be grateful for ... author Howard Friel has checked every single citation in [Lomborg's] Cool It ... [revealing] that Lomborg's work is 'a mirage'". Sounds interesting.

Notes:

Writing a business plan and therefore temporarily liberating this Michael Porter (HBS guru and superstar) title from the shelf. Not sure I could be bothered to ever read this from cover to cover ... but the introduction is always helpful.

Notes:

Bought this instead of Innovator's Solution. In a sense it reads like a (slightly dry) thriller. Essential for people interested in the business of disruptive technology.

Notes:

Why aren't there more books like this?

Notes:

An interview with the author on Peter Day's radio program on BBC World convinced me this is worth buying. The UK version is called "What they teach you at Harvard Business School" and the author is fairly skeptical of the MBA concept ... as one probably should be.

Notes:

According to the WSJ: "How a swashbuckling breed of mathematicians and computer scientists nearly destroyed Wall Street." Evil Mathematicians and computer scientists? Who could resist?

Notes:

"This shit would be really interesting if we weren't in the middle of it." I'm sure this is the same thing an Icelandic economist said about our recent troubles ... Anyway, the Economist calls this a "must read" for those interested in US politics.
