1.Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free ProductivityGetting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
from Viking/Allen Lane

Customer Review:
I purchased this book since it has such high reviews on Amazon. Unfortunately, all the book provides are obsessive techniques on how to organize your tasks. Still, you would come up with them yourself anyway as they are all basic common sense.
If anything, taking the time to read this book... more info

2.Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in AmericaNickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:

"On (Not) Getting By in America"; this sentence itself, incorporates the whole sense of the author's precious experience, and prospects to the potential reader a prompt sense of discomfort. Or at least, cues the awareness that somebody in this country is not indeed "living large".

3.Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing ChinaFactory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China
from Spiegel & Grau
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
I just finished reading Factory Girls. It had received a 5 star rating in a magazine review and I thought it might be good. It really was. I am a big lover of Chinese movies, and thought this book would provide a background between the old and the new. It didn't disappoint. My only critical thing... more info

4.The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes: Volume 7, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and MoneyThe Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes: Volume 7, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money
from Cambridge University Press

Customer Review:
Every economist that wants to get some understanding of the current crisis must read the general theory of Keynes. Not only is it highly relevant but also well written.

5.Supercapitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy, and Everyday Life (Vintage)Supercapitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy, and Everyday Life (Vintage)
from Vintage
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
Reich suggests that economic history after 1945 can be divided in two phases: the "almost Golden Age" and the ensuing phase of "super capitalism'. They roughly correspond with the age of mass-production/culture and the following period of diversification, long tail, etc. The move from one to the... more info

from Metropolitan Books
Price: $15.64

Customer Review:
I can only conclude that the author slept with the publisher, since I can't imagine why a rational person would publish such a total misfire. Great concept for a book, which is why I picked it up, but executed by an author who put very little effort into the project. It's all about her, and that's a... more info

from New Press
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
As I have done on other occasions when I am reviewing more than one work by an author I am using some of the same comments, where they are pertinent, here as I did in earlier reviews. In this series the first Studs Terkel book reviewed was that of his "The Good War": an Oral History of World War... more info

9.The CraftsmanThe Craftsman
from Yale University Press
Price: $18.15

Customer Review:
Oh, the irony! A book devoted to the subject of the craftsman is an exemplar of poor craftsmanship. Happily, this is true only of the apparent lack of proofreading--the content is indeed worth consideration. However, it *is* annoying to read a book that is studded with wrong words, missing words,... more info

from Vintage
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
In The Working Poor: Invisible in America, Shipler (2004) delivers candid insights from a vulnerable population underrepresented in the mainstream media. He illustrates how necessity overrides any type of luxury in the lower socioeconomic rungs. Basic survival outweighs physical or mental health,... more info
