Hello,

There's a plethora of interesting new books coming into stock over the next couple of weeks and we preview some of the best. With names like Warren Buffett and Alan Greenspan, Bill Bonner's eagerly awaited 'Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets', the eerily evocative 'The Panic of 1907' by Robert F. Bruner, as well as a fast-paced, new financial thriller by Joe Kolman, there is plenty of variety.

There is new introduction to commodities, two "dragons" make their paperback debuts, and Ken Fisher's '100 Minds That Made the Market' has been reissued in Wiley's 'The Fisher Investing Series'

This week's special bulletin offer is John Piper's 'Binary Betting'

1. September Previews
--------------------------------


THE AGE OF TURBULENCE by Alan Greenspan
The post 9/11 global economy is a new and turbulent system - vastly more flexible, resilient, open, self directing, and fast changing than it was even twenty years ago. In this part-autobiography, part-personal legacy Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board through 14 extraordinary years, reveals the universals of economic growth, delves into the specific facts on the ground in each of the major countries and regions of the world, and explains what the trend-lines of globalization are from here.



MOBS, MESSIAHS AND MARKETS: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics by William Bonner and Lila Rajiva
Bonner and Rajiva use literary economics to offer broad insights into mass behaviour and its devastating effects on society. To understand such behaviour, the authors weave a light-hearted journey through history, politics, and finance to show group mentality at work in an improbable array of instances.


WARREN BUFFETT SPEAKS compiled by Janet Lowe (Second Edition)
Significantly updated to reflect Warren Buffett's life over the last decade, this is a delightfully entertaining collection of quotes, writings, and favorite sayings from the world's most successful investor.



THE PANIC OF 1907: Lessons Learned from the Market's Perfect Storm by Robert F Bruner
An inside look at the financial crisis of 1907 - what happened, why it mattered, and what we've learned. Intended as a warning, the Financial Times recently described the book as uncannily like reading a description of the market events of the last few weeks.



NAKED OPTION by Joe Kolman
"Joe Kolman, a respected financial journalist, uses deft touches, unexpected plot shifts and mordant wit to create a fast-paced and entertaining financial thriller with a decidedly firm sense of location in New York in the days after 9/11." - Satyajit Das, author of 'Traders, Guns & Money'

This is the paperback edition of Farleigh's acclaimed 'Taming the Lion' in which he reveals the strategies that have guided him through his extraordinarily successful career.


ANYONE CAN DO IT by Duncan Bannatyne
In his remarkable book (updated for this paperback edition) Bannatyne relives his colourful path to riches, from ice cream salesman to multi-millionaire, explaining how anyone could take the same route as he did - if they really want to. Hugely articulate, and with numerous fascinating and revealing stories to tell, this is an autobiography and a business book unlike any other.

Definition of the Week
------------------------------

HEAD AND SHOULDERS TOP

In technical analysis, a common chart formation in which a share price reaches a peak and declines, rises above its former peak and again declines and rises again but not to the second peak and then again declines. The first and third peaks are 'shoulders', while the second peak is the formation's 'head'. When the price falls from the right shoulder and breaks through the neckline the head and shoulders top formation has been confirmed and it is regarded by technical analysts as a signal to sell the share.

Duncan Bannatyne - Anyone Can Do It





At 30, Duncan Bannatyne had no money and was enjoying life on the beaches of Jersey. He saw a story of someone who had made himself a millionaire, and decided to do the same. Five years later he had done it, and now he is worth 168 million. In this remarkable book, Bannatyne relives his colourful path to riches, from ice cream salesman to multi-millionaire, explaining how anyone could take the same route as he did - if they really want to. Hugely articulate, and with numerous fascinating and revealing stories to tell, this is an autobiography and a business book unlike any other - but then Bannatyne isnt like any other businessman, either.
