Slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations
By Nancy Duarte
No matter where you are on the organizational ladder, the odds are high that you've delivered a high-stakes presentation to your peers, your boss, your customers, or the general public. Presentation software is one of the few tools that requires professionals to think visually on an almost daily basis. But unlike verbal skills, effective visual expression is not easy, natural, or actively taught in schools or business training programs. slide:ology fills that void.
Freakonomics
Author: Steven D. Levitt
Publish Date: 2005
Pages: 257
Steven D. Levitt is an economist who analyzes statistical data to unearth surprising connections and behaviors. In Freakonomics, he and co-author Stephen J. Dubner detail many of these cases. He finds test scores that indicate cheating teachers in Chicago, tournament records that indicate cheating among sumo wrestlers, and he claims that reading to your children when they're young doesn't help them academically. His most controversial connection is that legalization of abortion has led to lesser crime. Freakonomics has received mostly positive reviews with Fortune Magazine saying, "There is no obvious leitmotif, ideological or otherwise, to Levitt's work, and that is perhaps its greatest charm. In his hands, economics, far from being a dismal science, is a tool for the curious." (source: http://www.reviewsofbooks.com/freakonomics/)
