7 Secrets Every Commodity Trader Needs to Know $138.77 The stock market has always intrigued me. The dynamics of finding sound companies prime for growth and profiting from their successes has an overwhelming attraction to most investors. Commodities, a shrinking investment realm by comparison, has always given the appearance of an all or nothing, rags to riches, dreamland. The truth is, however, commodities is enriched by concrete concepts and leveraged opportunities while the stock market holds the dreams of the derivative ownership in a company made up of more unknowns to the average investor than one would care to acknowledge.My interest in commodities came about when I was introduced to leverage.

A Maniac Commodity Trader's Guide to Making a Fortune: A Not-So-Crazy Roadmap to Riches $16.53 An inside look at how to trade the commodity markets successfully The past three years have been nothing but a bonanza for commodity investors. China and India s fast paced growth has blown away even the most optimistic estimates from top analysts. And the two fastest-growing economies in history have driven the price of resources to all-time highs. Despite the short-lived recent correction, commodities are in line for a long-term bull run ready to charge for another eight to 10 years. That s exactly why Kevin Kerr, a gentleman uniquely qualified to help investors turn enormous profits in commodities, created this book. In A Maniac Commodity Trader s Guide to Making a Fortune in the Market, Kerr shares the insights and techniques that he s honed through 18 years of experience on the trading floor and in the pits right next to such legends as Paul Tudor Jones. With this book, Kerr demystifies the language and ritual of the commodity markets and explains the secrets that only floor traders and select investors know secrets that will help to allay many of the traditional fears of these dynamic markets, and offer clear-cut guidance on how to enter them with confidence, make the right trading decisions, and build significant wealth. Kevin Kerr (Baltimore, MD) is a lifelong student of commodities and resource trading. He currently is the editor of Resource Trader Alert and coeditor of Outstanding Investments for Agora Publications. Kerr also is a correspondent for Dow Jones MarketWatch.com, and a frequent contributor to Barron s, the Wall Street Journal, and several international trade magazines, publications, and news services. He has appeared onCNBC and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and can be heard on hundreds of radio stations across the nation. |

After the Deluge: A Novel of Post-Economic San Francisco $6.62 A teenage arsonist threatens a partially submerged mid-22nd century San Francisco. As a Public Investigator tryout seeks evidence across the utopian city full of canals and veloways, the political and social conflicts of a society based on generalized abundance and commonly held wealth are explored. Here's a vision of post-economic life with the pleasures, pain and confusion characteristic of the human condition across historic periods set in a San Francisco strangely familiar and yet dreamily different. When there is no such thing as private property, what is crime, and how does a utopian society protect itself from bad behavior? Should scientists be as free as artists to create? What is a 'free market' for work without money and commodities? Many tackle the apocalypse, but not since Ernest Callenbach's Ecotopia has a writer envisioned its Left Coast utopian aftermath. In Carlsson's highly imaginative sci-fi thriller, an alienated teen and an arson investigator reveal the fissures in San Francisco's revolutionary new society. After The Deluge deserves a wide readershi for its vivid blueprint of a sustainable direct democracy set among the still-familiar human cultures and neighborhoods - enhanced by greenways and canals - of the City by the Bay. [Laura Lent, librarian, San Francisco Public Library] |

Anthony Lister $35 New York based Australian artist Anthony Lister began his career in Brisbane where he studied at the Queensland College of the Arts and helped pioneer the stencil and street art movement in the that city. Lister''s art could be seen as a reincarnation of the American Pop Art movement of the 1960s but, instead of mass market commodities, Lister draws upon the mass media and its super-heroes who have helped shape new attitudes and ways of seeing within global society. He says: I''m not trying to change the world, I''m just reacting to the world that''s trying to change me. His imagery, and the media from which it is drawn, reflects the prescience or Marshall McLuhan''s predictions half a century ago. |

Body Parts $29.29 In Body Parts, E. Richard Gold examines whether the body and materials derived from it - such as human organs and DNA - should be thought of as market commodities and subject to property law. Analyzing a series of court decisions concerning property rights, Gold explores whether the language and assumptions of property law can help society determine who has rights to human biological materials. Gold observes that the commercial opportunities unleashed by advances in biotechnology present a challenge to the ways that society has traditionally valued the human body and human health. In a balanced discussion of both commercial and individual perspectives, Gold asserts the need to understand human biological materials within the context of human values, rather than economic interests. |

Carry Me Back $25 Originating with the birth of the nation itself, in many respects, the story of the domestic slave trade is also the story of the early United States. While an external traffic in slaves had always been present, following the American Revolution this was replaced by a far more vibrantinternal trade. Most importantly, an interregional commerce in slaves developed that turned human property into one of the most valuable forms of investment in the country, second only to land. In fact, this form of property became so valuable that when threatened with its ultimate extinction in1860, southern slave owners believed they had little alternative but to leave the Union. Therefore, while the interregional trade produced great wealth for many people, and the nation, it also helped to tear the country apart. The domestic slave trade likewise played a fundamental role in antebellum American society. Led by professional traders, who greatly resembled northern entrepreneurs, this traffic was a central component in the market revolution of the early nineteenth century. In addition, the development of anextensive local trade meant that the domestic trade, in all its configurations, was a prominent feature in southern life. Yet, this indispensable part of the slave system also raised many troubling questions. For those outside the South, it affected their impression of both the region and the newnation. For slaveholders, it proved to be the most difficult part of their institution to defend. And for those who found themselves commodities in this trade, it was something that needed to be resisted at all costs. Carry Me Back restores the domestic slave trade to the prominent placethat it deserves in early American history, exposing the many complexities of southern slavery and antebellum American life. |

Conquering Consumerspace: Marketing Strategies for a Branded World $11.84 Once upon a time, marketers barraged customers with hard-sell tactics. Today, consumers use products to define themselves and others. People are swayed not by corporate-generated hype, but by consumer-generated buzz. That means companies must shift their focus away from marketing to people and toward marketing with them. In consumerspace, firms partner with customers to develop brand personalities and create interactive fantasies. The winners understand that we buy products not just because of what they do, but because of what they mean. Market share is out; share of mind is in. Conquering Consumerspace reveals the accelerating blurring of traditional boundaries between branded commodities and everyday life. Solomon's timely book presents a new way of looking at customers: recognizing them as partners in an ongoing marketing transaction rather than as passive pawns at the receiving end of a sales pitch. Conquering Consumerspace also defines the place of customer feedback in product conception, design, and production, and why customizability is no longer a luxury option but a requirement. From online buzz communities to theme stores and product placement to guerrilla marketing, what we consume is inextricably woven into our daily life experience, creating both challenges and opportunities for companies to accelerate and deepen their customers' relationships with their products, services, and brands. About the Author:Michael R. Solomon (Auburn, AL) is the author of Consumer Behavior: Buying, Having, and Being, the leading undergraduate text on consumer behavior, now in its fifth edition. He is a director of Mind/Share, Inc., a consulting firm specializing in online consumer research. |

Contagion $24.95 Tough times are ahead and Talbott argues that the coming recession will be on a global scale, affecting economies across the world. We have had no real growth in GDP for the last ten years if purchases with government and personal debt are excluded. In effect, government borrowing and spending on the war and healthcare and Social Security and corporate give-aways combined with dramatic increases in personal spending funded by credit card and mortgage debt have funded unsustainable levels of personal and government consumption. The world's banks are threatened with insolvency due to bad mortgage loans and will not be making new loans for any purposes for a very long time. Consumption, by definition, has to decline. Our financial markets worldwide are in chaos with the inability of any financial house or big hedge fund going bankrupt without pulling down the whole $400 trillion derivatives market and the global financial markets at the same time. With this as a backdrop, Talbott offers practical suggestions as to how homeowners and investors can best weather the coming storm with specific advice on where to invest by type of investment and geographic location. Stocks, bonds, TIPS, commodities, real estate, housing and currencies will all be examined. |

Divine Enterprise: Gurus and the Hindu Nationalist Movement $97.82 Through shrewd marketing and publicity, Hindu spiritual leaders can play powerful roles in contemporary India as businessmen and government officials. Focusing on the organizations and activities of Hindu ascetics and gurus, Lise McKean explores the complex interrelations among religion, the political economy of India, and global capitalism. In this close look at the business of religion, McKean traces the ideological and organizational antecedents to the Hindu nationalist movement. The Indian state's increasing patronage of Hindu institutions makes competition for its support greater than ever. Using materials from guru's publications, the press, and extensive field research, McKean examines how participation by upper-caste ruling class groups in the Divine Life Society and other Hindu organizations further legitimates their own authority. With a remarkable selection of photographs and advertisements showing icons of spirituality used to sell commodities from textiles to cement to comic books, McKean illustrates the pervasive presence of Hindu imagery in India's burgeoning market economy. She shows how gurus popularize Hindu nationalism through imagery such as the goddess, Mother India, and her martyred sons and daughters. |

Drama And The Market In The Age Of Shakespeare $42 Douglas Bruster's provocative study of English Renaissance drama explores its links with Elizabethan and Jacobean economy and society, looking at the status of playwrights such as Shakespeare and the establishment of commercial theatres. He identifies in the drama a materialist vision which has its origins in the climate of uncertainty engendered by the rapidly expanding economy of London. His examples range from the economic importance of cuckoldry to the role of stage props as commodities, and the commercial significance of the Troy story in Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, and he offers new ways of reading English Renaissance drama, by returning the theatre and the plays performed there, to its basis in the material world. |
