Winner in the category of extremely-long-and-wished-it-was-longer biography:
The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/0394720245 Unfortunately, the above is also in the category of great books not available as eBooks. This criminology should-be-classic is available as an eBook: Don't Shoot: One Man, A Street Fellowship, and the End of Violence in Inner-City America http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Shoot-Fel.../dp/1608192644 A great eBook title -- just please don't try the techniques on this board!: Spy the Lie: Former CIA Officers Teach You How to Detect Deception http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/Books/spy-the-lie |
