| 1. |  | The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream (Vintage)
from Vintage
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
Reading about history has always been a favorite past time of mine, ever since grade school, especially reading about real people, you know, before they became famous and they lost touch with the "working guy/girl". I also enjoy Frank Capra movies but that's a subject for another review. So, when I... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Everyone should read this book - its a life changer. However, even better, but for some reason being overlooked by the world, is "Leaving Microsoft to Change the World" by John Woods. I don't understand why 3 Cups is being promoted by booksellers and is being given such high profile, where John... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 3. |  | Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution -- and How It Can Renew America
from Macmillan Audio
Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
The problem with this work is that in order for it to be reasonable, one must accept Mr. Friedman's premise: that the earth is getting hotter, flatter, and more crowded. While it is not a stretch to believe these things, he presents them as an emergency. Without the emergency he initially creates... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Sentinel HC
Price: $16.35
Customer Review:
It is never easy to be objective in reviewing a book when its contents are about topics you fully agree with. However, I believe that the most important contribution relies in outlining openly many ideas I believe many people share, but sometimes are afraid to declare openly. Take for example the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from W.W. Norton & Co.
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
An intelligent book that looks at trends in globalization, modernization of developing countries, and what it all means to the United States. Zakaria is clearly adept at gathering, processing, and synthesizing vast and seemingly unrelated bodies of information about a subject. I guess that is what... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I ordered this book for my husband for Christmas and was pleased it arrived in a timely manner.
I'm disappointed that the 1st part of the book can only be read by a magnifying glass, (though I understand that's the type the papers were using at the time )
My husband loves the book so... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
