Review The Coming Economic Collapse: How You Can Thrive When Oil Costs $200 a Barrel / Blackstone Audio Inc.:When Dr. Stephen Leeb speaks, smart investors take heed. In his previous books, Dr. Leeb predicted the great bull market of the 1990s and the collapse of technology shares in the new millennium. Now, in The Coming Economic Collapse, Dr. Leeb shows that the U. S. economy is standing on the brink of the biggest crisis in history. As the fast-growing economies of China and India push global demand for oil beyond production capacity, Americans will experience a permanent energy shortfall far worse than the one in the 1970s. The result will be severe financial hardship for most people, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for investors to become incredibly rich. [+]This is an urgent call-to-arms to avert an all-but-certain catastrophe and a survival kit for an era that offers us only two financial choices: poverty or wealth.

Review Model / Brilliance Audio on MP3-CD Lib Ed:In the last twenty years, modeling has grown from a small business conducted by a select elite to a huge industry whose stars are the world's most famous faces. Michael Gross has interviewed modeling's pioneers and survivors and has stories about all the greats: from Anita Colby, Suzy Parker, and Dorian Leigh to Jean Shrimpton, Twiggy, Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington. By taking us into the studios and the parties and the cities where models play and are preyed upon, Gross tears down modeling's carefully constructed façade to reveal the untold truths of the ugly trade in pretty women. Michael Gross exposes the day-to-day business of beautiful young women, sex and drugs. Through hundreds of in-depth interviews with models, photographers and agents, he develops a flowing narrative history of the modeling industry from its birth to the present day supermodel craze. It's a story of serendipitous careers like that of industry creator Richard Powers, an out-of-work actor who created a niche for himself by providing beautiful people for the newly-developed fields of photography and advertising.

Review Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Other Half-Baked Theories Don't / Blackstone Audio Inc.:As the blockbuster best-seller Freakonomics demonstrated, economics can explain everything-from why people behave the way they do to how governments and businesses organize themselves. But are the basic assumptions and conclusions in Freakonomics true? Does the free market usually lead to unintended and negative consequences? Quite the opposite, says John Lott, who holds a Ph. D. in economics. In fact, says Lott, a wide range of fascinating and peculiar case studies prove the simple adage that if something is more costly, people will do less of it. And, in a refutation of Freakonomics' most controversial idea, Lott shows why legalized abortion leads to family breakdown, which leads to more crime.

Review The Sociopath Next Door / Tantor Media:We are accustomed to think of sociopaths as violent criminals, but in The Sociopath Next Door, Harvard psychologist Martha Stout reveals that a shocking 4 percent of ordinary peoplea "one in twenty-fivea "has an often undetected mental disorder, the chief symptom of which is that that person possesses no conscience. He or she has no ability whatsoever to feel shame, guilt, or remorse. One in twenty-five everyday Americans, therefore, is secretly a sociopath. They could be your colleague, your neighbor, even family. And they can do literally anything at all and feel absolutely no guilt.
