This myth shattering book reveals the methods Nouriel Roubini, professor of economics at NYU’s Stern School of Business and co-author Mihm, an associate professor of economic history at the University of Georgia, used to foretell the current crisis before other economists saw it coming and shows how those methods can help us make sense of the present and prepare for the future.

As technology plays an ever-greater role in our lives, Powers, former Washington Post writer and fellow of Harvard’s Shorenstein Center, argues that we need to balance the benefits of being connected with deliberate awareness of being disconnected. To manage the distractions of the age of Digital Maximalism, Powers looks back to the great thinkers, finding in Plato, Shakespeare, Emerson, and others ideas that cut through today’s incessant buzz.

INNOCENT

Hardcover - May 2010
First editions, first printings

With his new release, Scott Turow revisits the life of Rusty Sabich twenty five years later. Jonathan Yardley reviewed this sequel to Presumed Innocent last Sunday, and he let us know that that there are:

enough surprises ... to keep the reader's attention fixed. . . [A]s usual in his fiction there's more than skillful legal drama. Turow is a serious man who has thought long and carefully about the law. He understands that in the end it is not really much better than any other mechanism at uncovering absolute truth; that the courtroom is a roll of the dice "where the million daily details of a life suddenly get elevated to evidence of murder"; that life itself is a crapshoot -- "The joke was thinking you were ever really in charge of your life. You pressed your oar down into the water to direct the canoe, but it was the current that shot you through the rapids. You just hung on and hoped not to hit a rock or a whirlpool." All of which makes for an intelligent, thoughtful novel: a grownup book for grownup readers.
