Meng-tang Chuang mengtangchuang — Jacobs challenges the paradigm of the nation as the most appropriate unit of organization for economies, and promotes that of the city or city region. A compelling case for city-states as a primary basis for economic life. Her arguments about 'transactions of decline' (Chapter 12) and the idea of an 'esthetics of drift' (Chapter 14) especially resonated with me. Maybe Obama--instead mythologizing the importance of being one nation--should be advocating for a continent of multiple sovereignties that make up a network of vigorous inter-city trade--promoting economic development defined as 'a process of continually improvising in a context that makes injecting improvisations into everyday life feasible.'

Hashmatullah Mohammadi hashmat00 — Having known very little about Roald Dahl other than reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, etc., this book came as a bit of a blow. Wow, that man was something else. I knew he'd written short stories that were much more macabre and bizarre but I didn't think I'd read any of them (then I found out that he and Ian Fleming brainstormed the story where the woman kills her husband with a leg of mutton then serves it to the detectives investigating the case). I learned a lot from this book. I certainly learned about the British undercover operations during WWII, in Washington and abroad, and that was all very interesting. It did a lot to shape the course of the war, and especially America's involvement in it. But what I really learned the most about was the giant network of boozing, wife-swapping good old boys (and girls) running Washington at the time. Wow. Just, wow. I probably know more about that than I needed to know. Still, I guess it's better to have a realistic portrait of these people and what they accomplished and how they managed it. I did like Jennet Conant's writing style and might consider picking up her newest book about Julia Child's wartime spy activities, even though I did get a little bogged down in the middle of this one.

Keith Gaffney gaffneywoob3c0 — i like this one, but you kind of need to be online simultaneously if you want to take all the surveys he includes...makes for a bit of a disjointed reading experience, but i guess that's what you get when you stray from memoirs and fiction...btw, i don't consider this "self-help," per se, but rather an important contribution to the ever-growing positive psychology movement...with a dollop of "heal thyself" on the side.
