The Retirement Savings Time Bomb - and
how to Defuse It
by Ed Slott, CPA
(Excerpted Editorial Review)
"...As if the stock
market hadn't been bad enough lately, sinking and taking the nations
retirement funds along with it, now IRA expert Slott has news of an
additional nightmare: the IRS is eager to take a monstrous chunk out of
whatever's left. Slott asserts the importance of recognizing what he calls
playing the back nine, or understanding that however much you've saved
over the years, it wont matter much if you haven't protected it from the
taxman."
Treason
by Ann Coulter
(Excerpted editorial
review)
"...With Slander, Ann Coulter became the
most recognized and talked-about conservative intellectual of the year.
Treason, in many ways an even more controversial and prescient book,
will ignite impassioned political debate at one of the most crucial
moments in our history.

Red is a Dragon
Round is a Mooncake
Dr. Roseanne Thong's books for children,
written by an expat for children of mixed Asian heritage
"I wrote Round is a Mooncake for
my daughter, Maya, who was 2 years old at the time, because I couldn’t
find any English language books in Hong Kong that taught concepts
(numbers, colors, shapes) with Asian themes in mind. For example, most of
the books teaching numbers did so with a Western flavor: one Halloween
pumpkin sitting in a field, two snowmen on a winter day, three waiving
flags in a 4th of July parade.
"However, there was nothing about her Asian roots or immediate
surroundings in HK that she could relate to. I wanted to find books that
taught: one lone sanpan sitting in a bay, two stone lions guarding a
temple, three pork dumplings sitting in a steamer...

Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of...
Jacket copy -"God designed
men to be dangerous," says John Eldredge. "Simply look at the dreams and
desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior,
to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams
and desires--aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than
pressure to be a nice guy. It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and
those who go are often passive and bored to death". In this provocative
book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true...

The Millionaire Next Door
Midwest Book Review
This expose of America's rich and how
they achieved their wealth and status exposes the myth of inherited wealth
and instead reveals that hard work, living below one's means, and diligent
savings are more often the creators of true wealth. Big-spending
tendencies and high-profile images are often rejected for thrift and low
profiles in this revealing and important expose.
The
Coming Collapse of China
-Published by Random House
"The collapse of China is unthinkable. The consequences for its
people‑‑and the people of the world‑‑could be catastrophic. So
everyone has a vital interest in China's stability. The Peoples'
Republic, however, is failing. The government is corrupt and weak,
the economy stalling, and the social fabric is fraying, both in the
countryside and the city. Beijing, however, is not moving fast
enough to deal with its many problems. Gordon Chang states what almost no
one else will say out loud: the end of the modern Chinese state is near.
The People's Republic has five years, perhaps ten, before it falls.
The Coming Collapse of China explains why. "
Gordon Chang has lived and worked in China and Hong
Kong for almost two decades, most recently in Shanghai, as Counsel to the
American law firm Paul Weiss and earlier in Hong Kong as Partner in the
international law firm Baker & McKenzie. His writings on China have
appeared in The New York Times, The Asian Wall Street Journal,
the Far Eastern Economic Review, the International Herald
Tribune, The Weekly Standard, and the South China Morning
Post. He has served two terms as a trustee of Cornell
University.
