Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years by David Talbot Too Important Not To Read For decades, books about John or Robert Kennedy have woven either a shimmering tale of Camelot gallantry or a tawdry story of runaway ambition and reckless personal behavior. But the real story of the Kennedys in the 1960s has long been submerged -- until now. In Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years, David Talbot sheds a dramatic new light on the tumultuous inner life of the Kennedy presidency and its stunning aftermath. Talbot, the founder of Salon. com, has written a gripping political history that is sure to be one of the most talked-about books of the year. Brothers begins on the shattering afternoon of November 22, 1963, as a grief-stricken Robert Kennedy urgently demands answers about the assassination of his brother. Bobbys suspicions immediately focus on the nest of CIA spies, gangsters, and Cuban exiles that had long been plotting a violent regime change in Cuba. The K

How to Talk to Anyone by Leil Lowndes A Perfect Solution To Enhance Communication Skills. I have some social anxiety, even out with friends. Since reading this book, I have been able to use these tips to keep conversations going and to connect with people. I also noticed that I am able to get my husband to share more details about his day with me and his aspirations. I look forward to using the business tips. Ill be graduating with my Masters degree in May and looking forward to making a promotion happen. I also have a big public speaking engagement in July, so as Im feeling more comfortable in small settings, this book will help me gain the confidence to tackle a large crowd. I disagree with some of the other reviewers when they say her humor is off or dry. Shes honest! Her humor is appropriate and makes the book more entertaining. We are all human and can see how bad communication skills can make us flounder. We have to be able to laugh at ourselves and move on. Shes not s

How Walmart Is Destroying America (And the World): And What You Can Do about It by Bill Quinn Wal-Mart Prdjecct After carving up the once lovingly cared-for downtowns of Small Town America, Wal-Mart launched a frontal assault on mom-and-pop businesses all over the globe.

Lost Light (Harry Bosch) by Michael Connelly Another Great Connelly Bosch Book Fed up with the hypocrisy and bureaucracy of the LAPD, Harry Bosch has retired, but the life of a retiree doesnt suit him. He has devoted his life to law enforcement because of a deep drive to see equal justice for all. On his own, he is still drawn toward the law. And when he rediscovers a startling, unsolved murder among the old case files hes been poring over, he knows he cant rest until he finds the killerwith or without a badge. Moving ever further inside the remarkable character of Harry Bosch, whom the New York Post calls the quintessential mystery book hero, Michael Connelly takes another step closer to the classic novels of Raymond Chandler in this breakneck, relentless, and powerful new novel.

Baudolino by Umberto Eco The Fourth, Another Different Ue Novel The most playful of historical novelists, Umberto Eco has absorbed the real lesson of history: that there is no such thing as the absolute truth. In Baudolino, he hands his narrative to an Italian peasant who has managed, through good luck and a clever tongue, to become the adopted son of the Emperor, Frederick Barbarossa, and a minister of his court in the closing years of the 12th century. Baudolinos other gift is for spontaneous but convincing lies, and so his unfolding tale--as recounted in 1204 to a nobleman of Constantinople, while the fires of the Fourth Crusade rage around them--exemplifies the Cretan Liars Paradox: He cant be believed. Why not, then, make his story as outrageous as possible? In the course of his picaresque tale, Baudolino manages to touch on nearly every major theme, conflict, and boondoggle of the Middle Ages: the Crusades; the troubadours; the legend of the Holy Grail; the rise of the cathedr

Cat Vs. Cat: Keeping Peace When You Have More Than One Cat by Pam Johnson-Bennett This Book Is Awesome! In this companion to her successful introduction to cat behavior Think Like a Cat, Pam Johnson-Bennett, the award-winning author and feline behaviorist, shows how adding another cat to your home does not have to be the start of a kitty apocalypse. Although cats are often misunderstood as natural loners, Johnson-Bennett shows how to plan, set up, and maintain a home environment that will help multiple cats— and their owners—live in peace. Cat vs. Cat will help readers understand the importance of territory, the specialized communication cats use to establish relationships and hierarchies, and how to interpret the so-called bad behavior that leads so many owners to needless frustration. Offering a wealth of information on how to diffuse tension, prevent squabbles and ambushes, blend two families, or help the elder kitty in your family, Cat vs. Cat is a welcome resource for both s

Hitlers Niece: A Novel by Ron Hansen This Is One Sick Book. . . . . . . . . . Hitlers Niece offers the unforgettable spectacle of a tyrant in love: kneeling, shouting, groveling, sputtering with rage, posing naked for his lover with fists clenched and stomach sucked in--and thats leaving out the dog whip and jackboots. The unfortunate victim of these attentions is Angelika Raubal, daughter of Hitlers half-sister, and the only one in his circle who dares to stand up to him. What a good game: Whos not frightened of Adolf Hitler? Gelis friend Henny playfully asks. No one, as it turns out, but Geli--the one who should be most afraid. Ron Hansens tale begins with the most gemütlichkeit family gathering imaginable: a Sunday-afternoon party celebrating the infant Gelis baptism, with a pale, peevish, and hungry young Adolph as one of the guests. Gelis father Leo teases the would-be painter (Rembrandts only rival!), the Monsignor needles him about his ancestry, and finally Hitler leaves i

A Primates Memoir: A Neuroscientists Unconventional Life Among the Baboons by Robert M. Sapolsky An All Time Favorite Robert Sapolsky, the author of Why Zebras Dont Get Ulcers and other popular books on animal and human behavior, decided early in life to become a primatologist, volunteering at the American Museum of Natural History and badgering his high school principal to let him study Swahili to prepare for travel in Africa. When he set out to conduct fieldwork as a young graduate student, though, Sapolsky found that life among a Kenyan baboon troop was markedly different from his earlier bookish studies. Among other things, he confesses, he had to become a master of shooting anesthetic darts into his subjects with a blowgun to take blood samples, a mastery that required him to become a leering slinky silent quicksilver baboon terror. He also had to learn how to negotiate the complexities of baboon politics, endure the difficulties of life in the bush, and subsist on

It flows three thousand miles from east to west, passing through the factory towns of the coastal areas, through the rural heart of China, then up into the Gobi Desert, where it merges with the Old Silk Road. The highway witnesses every part of the social and economic revolution that is turning China upside down. In this utterly surprising and deeply personal book, acclaimed National Public Radio reporter Rob Gifford, a fluent Mandarin speaker, takes the dramatic journey along Route 312 from its start in the boomtown of Shanghai to its end on the border with Kazakhstan.

Hug by Jez Alborough An Adorable Young Childs Book How can it be that a book with only one word--hug--repeated throughout, can be so good? The proof is in the pudding (or the wilds of Africa) in Jez Alboroughs picture book Hug, a delightful mini odyssey of a baby chimpanzee on the hunt for his mum and a cuddle. Our little friend wanders through the trees, witnessing many other animals from chameleons to giraffes as they snuggle together. Hug, he says, happily, at first, but then with growing despair as he sees there are no hugs for him. The story is told purely by the expression on the little chimps face as his hopes are built up and dashed again until eventually, with a huge smile, he finds his mum and reaps the reward. Hug is a clever, unusual book that portrays the art of childrens illustration at its very best: a story brought to life with the stroke of a brush through facial expressions and body language that children will immediately understand.

Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software by Steven Johnson I Love This Book. Its Now One Of My Favorites An individual ant, like an individual neuron, is just about as dumb as can be. Connect enough of them together properly, though, and you get spontaneous intelligence. Web pundit Steven Johnson explains what we know about this phenomenon with a rare lucidity in Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software. Starting with the weird behavior of the semi-colonial organisms we call slime molds, Johnson details the development of increasingly complex and familiar behavior among simple components: cells, insects, and software developers all find their place in greater schemes. Most game players, alas, live on something close to day-trader time, at least when theyre in the middle of a game--thinking more about their next move than their next meal, and usually blissfully oblivious to the ten- or twenty-year trajectory of software develo
