Story
Benjamin Graham developed "value investing", a style adopted by Warren Buffett, one of history's most successful investors. It is based on "fundamental analysis", which quantitatively compares a company's stock price to various measures of financial strength and promise. "Growth investing" is a fundamentally different style that seeks to identify tomorrow's great business successes. Learn the ins and outs, and the pros and cons, of these basic investment styles.

Story
The Greek myths are amongst the greatest stories ever told, passed down through millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. They are embedded deeply in the traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. You'll fall in love with Zeus, marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos, weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis.

I used to look up to Carl Sagan
Reviewed: 14-06-21
Clearly the topic is an exciting one and the style of writing is impressive. Mr Burton's voice is good to listen to and I was reminded of the character he used to play in the TV series, Star Trek the next generation. Towards the end, Carl spends so much time speculating about alien life without really presenting hard evidence and it really started to feel like SF. I could imagine him having a lot of fun but not found myself indulging him and joining him in his fantasy. The first half was much more engaging by contrast as he presented his ways of seeing scientific facts. At the end, I went away feeling that he moved too far away from facts and that he placed too much faith in science.

Story
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Future of the Mind by Michio Kaku, the international best-selling author of Physics of the Impossible. Read by the actor Feodor Chin. Recording memories, mind reading, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis - no longer are these feats of the mind solely the province of overheated science fiction. As Michio Kaku reveals, not only are they possible, but with the latest advances in brain science and recent astonishing breakthroughs in technology, they already exist.

Why does it matter who sponsored research?
Reviewed: 22-03-21
Professor K takes the trouble of mentioning President Obama and his government for sponsoring some key research projects but hardly mentions any other political personality or entity. This felt like bias to me (I wonder if Prof K is a diehard Democrat?) and started to gnaw at me and ruined the already average quality of writing. He often goes off tangents to explore his own imagination instead of focusing on the science. The book put me off watching any documentary or books by him for good. I stopped listening after about 60%.

Story
Called a great book worthy of a great man, this definitive biography of the Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet in World War II is considered the best book ever written about Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. Highly respected by both the civilian and naval communities, Nimitz was sometimes overshadowed by more colorful warriors in the Pacific such as MacArthur and Halsey. Potter's lively and authoritative style fleshes out Admiral Nimitz's personality to help listeners appreciate the contributions he made as the principle architect of Japan's defeat.

Story
What valuable company is nobody building? The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won't make a search engine. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them. It's easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to 10, adding more of something familiar. Every new creation goes from zero to one. This book is about how to get there.

Story
In The Outsiders, you'll learn the traits and methods striking for their consistency and relentless rationality that helped these unique leaders achieve such exceptional performance. Humble, unassuming, and often frugal, these "outsiders" shunned Wall Street and the press, and shied away from the hottest new management trends. Instead, they shared specific traits that put them and the companies they led on winning trajectories: a laser-sharp focus on per share value as opposed to earnings or sales growth; an exceptional talent for allocating capital and human resources; and the belief that cash flow, not reported earnings, determines a company's long-term value.

Institutional imperative
Reviewed: 17-07-19
The book makes the case that the 8 CEOs were able achieve amazing results by not following institutional imperative. I get a sense that CEOs past, present and future often do follow the institutional imperative and I wanted the book to explore that more. Is there a problem with the current practice of selecting and recruiting CEOs? From an evolutionary perspective, ineffective CEOs should have been outcompeted pretty quickly and disappeared but I do not think that is the case. Until that problem is addressed, institutional imperative will be alive and well and shareholder's capital remains at risk.
