《创新的先知:约瑟夫·熊彼得传》的目的在于重温熊彼特的生活和工作，以便我们更好地认识和评价熊彼特这个人及其影响。尽管熊彼特本人对数字十分感兴趣，但《创新的先知:约瑟夫·熊彼得传》不会是一部涉及极多统计数据的作品。不过，在我们认识熊彼特之前，先让我们用一种他很喜欢的快速统计预览法来简单考察一下他的研究对象——资本主义。当今普通美国人的现金收入是1800年时的二十多倍。如果你是美国人，试着想象一下你只花你收入的二十分之一来生活，由此所造成的生活方式的改变很可能让你不得不去种植自己生活所需的粮食，就像你的大多数先祖在1800年所做的那样。

George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, has authored a personal biography of his father, George H. W. Bush, the 41st President. Forty-three men have served as President of the United States. Countless books have been written about them. But never before has a President told the story of his father, another President, through his own eyes and in his own words. A unique and intimate biography, the book covers the entire scope of the elder President Bush’s life and career, including his service in the Pacific during World War II, his pioneering work in the Texas oil business, and his political rise as a Congressman, U.S. Representative to China and the United Nations, CIA Director, Vice President, and President. The book shines new light on both the accomplished statesman and the warm, decent man known best by his family. In addition, George W. Bush discusses his father’s influence on him throughout his own life, from his childhood in West Texas to his early campaign trips with his father, and from his decision to go into politics to his own two-term Presidency.

Synopsis How does one young man survive the deaths of his entire family and manage to make something worthwhile of his life? In Things The Grandchildren Should Know Mark Oliver Everett tells the story of what it's like to grow up the insecure son of a genius in a wacky Virginia Ice Storm-like family. Left to run wild with his sister, his father off in some parallel universe of his own invention, Everett's upbringing was 'ridiculous, sometimes tragic and always unsteady'. But somehow he manages to not only survive his crazy upbringing and ensuing tragedies; he makes something of his life, striking out on a journey to find himself by channelling his experiences into his, eventually, critically acclaimed music with the Eels. But it's not an easy path. Told with surprising candour, Things The Grandchildren Should Know is an inspiring and remarkable story, full of hope, humour and wry wisdom.
