Thomas Sowell

A book used for my partner's college education, and was in the shape you see when she got it. Except, they charged 35 bucks, gotta love college bookstores right ? I'm going to sell it because I can't have it tainting my own books with its greed.

Heavy Paperback (2 to 4 lbs)

A reexamination of classical economic theory and methods, by a senior economist of international stature Thomas Sowell's many writings on the history of economic thought have appeared in a number of scholarly journals and books, and these writings have been praised, reprinted, and translated in various countries around the world. The classical era in the history of economics is an important part of the history of ideas in general, and its implications reach beyond the bounds of the economics profession. On Classical Economics is a book from which students can learn both history and economics. It is not simply a Cook's tour of colorful personalities of the past but a study of how certain economic concepts and tools of analysis arose, and how their implications were revealed during the controversies that followed. In addition to a general understanding of classical macroeconomics and microeconomics, this book offers special insight into the neglected pioneering work of Sismondi--and why it was neglected--and a detailed look at John Stuart Mill's enigmatic role in the development of economics and the mysteries of Marxian economics. Clear, engaging, and very readable, without being either cute or condescending, On Classical Economics can enable a course on the history of economic thought to make a contribution to students' understanding of economics in general--whether in price theory, monetary theory, or international trade. In short, it is a book about analysis as well as history.

A History of Fingerprinting and Criminal Identification

David Foster Wallace

Stains are visible on the underside of the pages near the binding when viewed from below, yet no stains of any kind are visible on the pages themselves. The cover was in bad shape and I will be tossing it unless you want it too! This is a unique bit of work, and something I have owned since I stocked shelves for B&N.

Light Hardcover (1 lb or less)

Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life

In this rare peak into the personal life of the author of numerous bestselling novels, gain an understanding of David Foster Wallace and how he became the man that he was.


Only once did David Foster Wallace give a public talk on his views on life, during a commencement address given in 2005 at Kenyon College. The speech is reprinted for the first time in book form in This is Water. How does one keep from going through their comfortable, prosperous adult life unconsciously? How do we get ourselves out of the foreground of our thoughts and achieve compassion? The speech captures Wallace's electric intellect as well as his grace in attention to others. After his death, it became a treasured piece of writing reprinted in The Wall Street Journal and the London Times, commented on endlessly in blogs, and emailed from friend to friend.

Writing with his one-of-a-kind blend of causal humor, exacting intellect, and practical philosophy, David Foster Wallace probes the challenges of daily living and offers advice that renews us with every reading.

Sheril Kirshenbaum

This is a very good condition copy that was previously a library copy. (I buy large quantities of books from library sales, but never sell anything below good quality) There are no visible markings on the outside or inside , no dog eared pages, no stains.

How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens Our Future

Journalist and bestselling author Mooney and scientist Kirshenbaum offer an impassioned polemic about the dangers of America's scientific illiteracy. They go on to propose a broad array of initiatives that could lead to a greater integration of science into the national discourse.
