		<description><![CDATA[Thomas Friedman&#8217;s newest book Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution is not new territory.  There has been a recent groundswell of books that speak to the same general concepts (Common Wealth, The Bottom Billion, Plan B 3.0 as just an example).  Where I think Thomas Friedman adds value in this space is his additional focus [...]]]></description>

From Scott McClellan&#8217;s What Happenedto Randall Balmer&#8217;s God in the White House: A Historyto Bob Woodward&#8217;s Plan of Attackthere seems to be an unending stream of books praising, excusing and exalting the current [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A week ago I put up a book review of Predictably Irrational, from Dan Ariely.  The Logic of Life: The Rational Economics of an Irrational World is the opposing view to Predictably Irrational, to the extent that it seems that much of the author’s writings were aimed directly at Mr. Ariely&#8217;s thought process and research.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I borrowed this book from a colleague at work that shares an interest in reading nonfiction.  Technically, A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines is a work of fiction (the author, Janna Levin, has taken historical accounts from other resources and coloured the book with some fictitious additions), but much of the material is historically correct.  Essentially, [...]]]></description>
