Greeks Internet Linked (Illustrated World History)
$12.99
I like the Usborne Internet Linked books. They are very informative and it is nice to access the website for more information. The Greeks are very popular now because of the movie 300. Kids are more interested in Greece than they used to be and very excited about Ancient Greece as a topic. This book allows them to access more information about Greece and dispel some of the falsehoods in the movie.

Nexus: Small Worlds and the Groundbreaking Theory of Networks
$15.95
I heard of Mr. Buchanan's work from a radio here and I borrowed it finally from the library of the university I studied in. Frankly, I could not put it down once I have read the first 5 pages.

Just like what the author suggests in the book, the study of world phenomenon under the context of physics is still at its new-born stage. Please do not expect too high. But that would never reduce the meaning of such academic field to our world. It opens our eyes by leading us to a drastically different perspective with which human beings can view the world.

For instance, if later and further experiments and studies prove that the distribution of wealth must be the way it is now (i.e. much wealth in hands of a small group) since it is one of the laws followed by the world, then the arguments of left and right will become totally meaningless. The main question for human beings will then be how should all of us live our lives, given whatever position we are situated along the scale of wealthiness.

Also, one should not forget that, as warned by the author, that the concentration of wealth will get worse and irrevertible when the system fails to regulate the misuse of power brought by the accumulated wealth so that it passes the tipping point. This is the most impressive revelation that I had found in the book.

The book is so good that I have just got one from Amazon to fill my collection.

Six Degrees: The Science of a Connected Age (Open Market Edition)
$17.95
I just finished this book, and feel as though I learned a great deal from it. I knew networks were complex but I never looked at them the way Duncan did. He is a very intelligent man and It was great of him to write a book explaining his research. I would recommend it to anyone who has an open mind and likes to learn about the world we live in.
