The Intelligent Investor: The Classic Best Seller on Value Investing Audible – Abridged dged
Author: Bill McGowan ID: B000A1OD7K
The classic best seller by Benjamin Graham, perhaps the greatest investment advisor of the 20th century, The Intelligent Investor has taught and inspired hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Since its original publication in 1949, Benjamin Graham’s book has remained the most respected guide to investing, due to his timeless philosophy of “value investing”, which helps protect investors against areas of (possible) substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies which they will be comfortable with down the road.Among this audiobook’s special features are the use of numerous comparisons of pairs of common stocks to bring out their elements of strength and weakness and the construction of investment portfolios designed to meet specific requirements of quality and price attractiveness.

This book is light reading compared to Ben Graham’s seminal tome, Security Analysis. It’s easier to read, and shorter. It’s also more up to date. Highly recommended for investors of any stripe, value or growth. The appendix, from Warren Buffett’s speech at Columbia University is particularly entertaining, as he debunks academia’s love affair with efficient market theory. Jason Zweig, an obvious Graham disciple, does a fantastic job bringing the book’s principles to life through modern examples. The only grating thing is his constant derision of brokers or anyone that actually gets paid to manage money. (full disclosure: I’m an analyst now and was a broker for 10 years).
Ben Graham clearly invested in the stock market during a period of hustlers, crooks, crashes, and frauds. Brokers, investment bankers and analysts back then were not much more than fast-talking salesmen. Wait a minute, that sounds just like the way things are today on Wall Street! Things may not have changed as much as we would like to think. Due to his travails as an investor in difficult markets, Ben Graham’s investment style evolved into a systematic, logical approach which became the basis for value investing. In "The Intelligent Investor", Graham lays out the foundation of value investing by three introducing key principles: the idea of "Mr. Market", a value-oriented disciplined approach to investing, and the "margin of safety" concept.
"Mr. Market."
The stock market on a daily basis resembles a cIDo, only without the comfort of free cocktails. Watching the stock ticker is like having a business partner that is totally schizophrenic; Graham calls him "Mr. Market.

As one of Stephanie’s treating physicians, I could hardly wait to read her book. Once I started turning the pages, her words took me to a place that I have never been in all the years of my training. I read with amazement, as I hope you will too, how her thoughts and dreams became a reality on the day that she delivered her son. I read on with tears streaming down my face at times with the harsh realization that there is so much more to the practice of medicine and the care of patients than we ever realized. It took an experience like this one to open my mind, heart and hands to begin to listen to my patients on a much deeper level. You can gain a tremendous inspiration from her words as well, whether you are a spouse, parent, teacher, whether you have ever faced a medical challenge yourself or not. It will make you contemplate your life, your medical care, and what lies beyond the world of your daily routine…and you will never look at those things the same way again.
Wow! This book is the real deal. I’ve read books on near death experiences, nothing compares to this! Stephanie is an inspiration and beyond courageous. This book will inspire you and help people in need. A must read.
This book will change your life. It is an unforgettable read – about a brave young mother who experienced the extraordinary – and learned that "if you sense it, say it." You will not be able to put it down.

The Senator Next Door: A Memoir from the Heartland Audible – Unabridged ridged
Author: Amy Klobuchar ID: B0147L8UEU
One of the US Senate’s most candid – and funniest – women tells the story of her life and her unshakeable faith in our democracy. Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar has tackled every obstacle she’s encountered – her parents’ divorce, her father’s alcoholism and recovery, her political campaigns and Washington’s gridlock – with honesty, humor and pluck. Now, in The Senator Next Door, she chronicles her remarkable heartland journey, from her immigrant grandparents to her middle-class suburban upbringing to her rise in American politics. After being kicked out of the hospital while her infant daughter was still in intensive care, Klobuchar became the lead advocate for one of the first laws in the country guaranteeing new moms and their babies a 48-hour hospital stay. Later she ran Minnesota’s biggest prosecutor’s office and in 2006 was the first woman elected to the US Senate from her state. Along the way she fashioned her own political philosophy grounded in her belief that partisan flame-throwing takes no courage at all; what really matters is forging alliances with unlikely partners to solve the nation’s problems. Optimistic, plainspoken and often very funny, The Senator Next Door is a story about how the girl next door decided to enter the fray and make a difference. At a moment when America’s government often seems incapable of getting anything done, Amy Klobuchar proves that politics is still the art of the possible.

Free of the usual political platitudes and full of emotion – especially when describing her family – this is not your typical political autobiography. Since hearing Amy speak in Louisiana at a recent Democratic party event, I’ve wanted to learn more about her, and am now about half-way through the book. At heart, she seems to be a story-teller, and this is a book full of engaging stories about her loving but sometimes difficult early family life, the friends she met growing up in suburban Minnesota, and the lessons she learned in school, life, government and beyond. Frankly, it’s wonderful to actually feel like you know the person – and not just the talking points – when reading a political autobiography.
The Senator Next Door is an engaging, warm-hearted book that is sure to capture and hold the attention of any reader. With charm, humor, and humility, the senator shares the important events, people, and values that have shaped her and her political career. Well written and inspiring, The Senator Next Door is a refreshing portrait of an elected leader–one whom we can respect, admire, and count on to roll up her sleeves and work hard for people who need her help and for issues she believes in. I highly recommend this book.
The good Senator has written an engaging, heartwarming book. Her memoir is refreshing in these acerbic political times. Her warm anecdotes and easy prose reflect a kind, generous, dutiful public servant who serves her constituents — and the nation — quite well. She is clearly a brilliant, deep thinker who has an eye toward making the country a better place in which to live. She is also charming — her query to the doctor after hip replacement surgery, medically induced or not, describes a lighthearted political celebrity who does not take herself too seriously. Any follower of politics who has a keen interest in making our constitutional democracy even better will love the story of the Senator, and take comfort in the fact that she is a public servant with a keen eye on doing good. And in a setting where that trait seems in short supply, it is quite refreshing.

So This is Permanence: Joy Division Lyrics and Notebooks Paperback
Author: ID: 0571309577
Review
• ”The severe clarity and beautiful precision of Curtis’s words are completely remarkable. Like Eliot’s The Hollow Men and the hyperreality of Tony Harrison’s ‘Pain-Killers’, Curtis delivers anguish with vivid economy. Bands try to mimic Joy Division sonically but never lyrically. The words are untouchable, unreachable, perfect, unsettling, unique, beautiful. They are poetry but I want to claim them for rock.” –Nicky Wire
About the Author
Ian Curtis was born in Stretford, Lancashire, and grew up in Macclesfield. Joy Division released two seminal post-punk albums: Unknown Pleasures (1979) and the posthumous Closer (1980). Jon Savage is the author of England’s Dreaming, Teenage and The England’s Dreaming Tapes.

This is exactly what I hoped it would be. A beautiful book full of scans of the original writings of Ian Curtis. For that it is absolutely perfect.
The first half of the book is filled with song lyrics. The scans are to the left and the lyrics we all know are printed out to the right. Much like a bilingual book.
The second half of the book–the appendices–I find even more exciting. This section features alternative versions of songs; prose; things that would have been songs; letters; and Joy Division art (meaning gig posters and the like). I wasn’t expecting all of that and it is a real treat. It’s an insight in to what was and what would have been.
If you look to Ian Curtis as a poet, this is a really wonderful purchase to make. It’s the definitive un-edited, non-paraphrased, original collection of his work. As he wrote it.
This is the way, step inside. The city in the center of Ian Curtis’ night is here, waiting for you. The legacy is no longer so far removed. Read it and weep; read it and laugh. Very highly recommended.
For the fans that wants visual archive of the writing process. The text is insightful, but the images of the writing is really the purpose of the book. As images there is a great insight as to Curtis’ process of song writing, and from a fan’s perspective it’s just cool to see the handwriting of such great songs. Deborah Curtis’ forward is honest and resonates as a small addition to her book "Touching From a Distance" which I strongly recommend.

The Worldly Philosophers: The Lives, Times And Ideas Of The Great Economic Thinkers, Seventh Edition Paperback – August 10, 1999
Author: Visit ‘s Robert L. Heilbroner Page ID: 068486214X
“If ever a book answered a crying need, this one does. Here is all the economic lore most general readers conceivably could want to know, served up with a flourish by a man who writes with immense vigor and skill, who has a rare gift for simplifying complexities.” —The New York Times
“Robert Heilbroner’s The Worldly Philosophers is a living classic, both because he makes us see that the ideas of the great economists remain fresh and important for our times and because his own brilliant writing forces us to reach out into the future.” —Leonard Silk
“The Worldly Philosophers, quite simply put, is a classic….None of us can know where we are coming from unless we know the sources of the great ideas that permeate our thinking. The Worldly Philosophers gives us a clear understanding of the economic ideas that influence us whether or not we have read the great economic thinkers.” —Lester Thurow
“Sinclair Lewis’s Arrowsmith inspired several readers to become Nobel laureates in biology. Robert Heilbroner’s new edition of The Worldly Philosophers will inspire a new generation of economists.” —Paul Samuelson
About the Author
Robert L. Heilbroner is the Norman Thomas Professor of Economics, Emeritus, at The New School for Social Research and is the author of more than twenty books. He lives in New York City.

I read Adam Smith’s "Wealth of Nations" back in college my senior year, all 1200+ pages of it. I’ve read parts of Communist Manifesto and Capital by Karl Marx and some Joseph Schumpeter. I loved it all (especially Smith and Schumpeter) but it was BRUTAL as the dialects in those days varied so much from today’s.
If you are new to economics or want summaries/insights into the greatest economists in history this book is for you. Mr. Heilbroner’s book, the Worldly Philosophers, is the best books on economics I have come across and I have endured graduate level economic courses, both macro and micro (along with the undergraduate courses.) This book provides readers with a nice summary and analysis of the great Economic thinkers from Adam Smith, Karl Marx, David Ricardo, Mill, Keynes, Schumpeter and others. I found the book to be very general and not extremely analytical/scholarly if you will.
The summaries of each man’s economic concepts and life/times in which he lived were extremely accurate. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that the author tries to explain the multi-disciplined nature of economics and how it is a combination of sociology, history, political science and philosophy all rapped into one. If you look at the London School of Economics graduate program you will find over 30 unique Masters Programs in economics as the field is increIDgly becoming applied and specialized into different parts of the society. Mr. Heilbroner asks a question at the end such as "are we seeing the end of Worldly Philosophers?" as the field is increIDgly getting more specialized and very few economists are tackling the "big picture" anymore and how the various components of an economy (land, labor and capital) are intertwined with each other.
I’ve read both Worldly Philosophers by Robert Heilbroner and New Ideas From Dead Economists, by Todd Buchholz. I wanted to get a good rounded layperson introduction to great economists in the past.
However, I found Heilbroner’s book to be neither useful to the layperson nor to people who have a good background in Economics. Let me explain.
Heilbroner spends a LOT of time in awe of these economists and spends a great deal of time explaining how great they were, how revolutionary, how brilliant, how much of a genius, how wonderful these men were, ad nauseum. Ok, I get the point. Unfortunately, all this fawning and fan worship clouds what should’ve been the more interesting and more important part of the book, which are the central economic ideas put forward by these thinkers. In fact, there’s a lot of emphasis on putting their economic ideas in perspective to the prevailing moral philosophical thought at the time.
It’s almost as if this books is written for people who have already taken Economics 101, and know all the basic economic principles and can nod, "yes, uh huh, I didn’t know those personality quirks or their moral philosophical outlook about these economists – good to know. By the way, it’s great that he didn’t go over his economic ideas since I already know them."
For example, the entire chapter devoted to David Ricardo fails to mention the theory of Comparative Advantage anywhere in the chapter. Isn’t that a MAJOR omission? That’s just one example. Omissions such as this are everywhere.
So the layperson is stuck getting a vague feeling that these people were wonderful people, but that a little less fuzzy on their ecnomic ideas.
In my 20th Century American Literature class we recently read Steinbeck’s "The Grapes of Wrath." In conjunction with the book we watched "Roger and Me," a film by Michael Moore. The film chronicles the social collapse of Flint, Michigan, after General Motors closed several factories there in the late 1980’s during a time of record profits. How ironic, then, that I should find myself reading a history of economics during a three-hour layover in an airport in Detroit, the Motor City.
I picked up a copy of Robert L. Heilbroner’s The Worldly Philosophers for next to nothing at the Salvation Army. The cover suggests a retail price of a mere $…, a more significant sum back in 1961 when the revised edition was published. Heilbroner’s book, however, is not weakened at all by its age. He sets out not to explicate his contemporary economy, but rather to recount the history of political economy by examining its greatest thinkers, beginning with Adam Smith and ending with John Maynard Keynes.
Before any of the biographies, however, there is a wonderful section on the origins of the market system. Heilbroner explains that until the 18th century, capitalism and the market system did not exist as we know them today. The lack of national unity and universal weights, measures, and currency made trade cumbersome. In addition to these impediments, the idea of seeking personal profit was not socially or religiously condoned. (Heilbroner cites an amusing case before the Boston courts in 1644 where a man was charged with making a "sixpence profit on the shilling, an outrageous gain.") Moreover, the economic concepts of Land, Labor, and Capital did not exist. Things began to shift radically in the 18th century, however, spurred along by the Industrial Revolution.
