Amazon.com: Books: The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else (#)
„Although de Soto draws on huge amounts of data and some actual successes in the third world, this book strikes me as the kind of "grand explanation" that makes a lot of sense when you read it, but pales when you read the next person's "grand explanation." As several reviewers pointed out, it's hard to believe that real estate is the key factor in capitalization, though registering titles may well be the most effective next step that can be taken in developing countries. I disagree with the analysis of the reader who calculated the average per capita dead capital in the third world and asserted that USD 2,000 to 3,000 is not enough to start a business -- this figure is well above what many small entrepreneurs begin with, being several times the per capita income in their respective countries.“

„This book compiles data from those reports, long unavailable, in a concise, convenient edition that concentrates on gold placer, hydraulic, and drift mines-giving location information as well as history and past production figures. Covering the mines of the Mother Lode, it also includes the other gold-producing counties of the southern and northern Sierra Nevada range, and the dredging areas of the American, Feather, and Yuban Rivers. More than twenty county maps, this is the complete guide to prospecting the Gold Country of California.“

Amazon.com: Music: Billboard Rock N Roll Christmas
„But then we have Weird Al Yankovic's "Christmas at Ground Zero." Now, I love Weird Al and I know all the words to this song, but it is just out of place in this collection (and I have expressed similar concerns on other Christmas collections when a novelty song is thrown into the mix). Then we are back on track with Foghart and some old chestnuts that have been roasting on the fire for a long time with offerings from the Kinks, the Beach Boys, and Canned Heat. Then we have Cheech & Chong's "Santa Claus and His Old Lady" routine. At least coming at the end of the album it is not as much of a distraction, but I find it impossible to believe Billboard could not have come up with a couple of other choice rock 'n' roll Christmas songs without the comedy.“

Amazon.com: Books: Anne Willan: From My Chateau Kitchen
„While I was honored to be a student at Le Fey at La Varenne the summer of 99, I was also delighted to see the approval copy of this book on her coffee table. The books reads just as she speaks. Her extensive knowledge gains respect with anyone who has been in any kitchen, and her personable style makes it a delightful journey to France for those who have traveled there, or those who hope to soon.“
