I found the book "The definitive book of body language: How to read others's thoughts by their gestures" by Allan and Barbara Pease to be a great read. The greatest show on Earth - Richard Dawkins was an excellent read. Surely you're joking Mr Feynman by Richard p.Feynman was terrific read by a very small bit can considerred offensive or at the least dated in its outlook but if you can get past that its great! I recently finished a book on ID called "Masters of doom" by David Kushner which I rather enjoyed as well. I also love reading about crackers from the (mostly) 80's and I can recommend. Cuckoo Egg by Cliff Stoll Masters of deception We are anonymous - Inside the hacker world of lulzsec, anonymous and the global cyber insurgency by Parmy Olson I loved "Underground Hacking Madness and the obsession on the electronic frontier" once I got past the first 2 or 3 chapters (also it was researched by Julian Assange before wikileak and has a chapter about his hacking) An Ebook copy can be found on the authors website http://www.underground-book.net/download.php3 Ghost in the wire Kevin Mitnick

My favorite read in early 2009 was What Intelligence Tests Miss: The Psychology of Rational Thought by Keith Stanovich http://www.amazon.com/What-Intelligence-Tests-Miss-Psycholog... (http://www.amazon.com/What-Intelligence-Tests-Miss-Psychology/dp/030012385X/) which is full of helpful information on developing the kind of cognition missed by IQ tests that constitutes rationality, very important information for parents, educators, and business leaders. 2009, the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his book On the Origin of Species, has been a banner year for new books on evolutionary biology. Some of my favorites include Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne http://www.amazon.com/Why-Evolution-True-Jerry-Coyne/dp/0670... (http://www.amazon.com/Why-Evolution-True-Jerry-Coyne/dp/0670020532/) The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution by Richard Dawkins http://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Show-Earth-Evidence-Evolution... (http://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Show-Earth-Evidence-Evolution/dp/1416594787/) and Evolution: The First Four Billion Years edited by Michael Ruse and Joseph Travis.…
