Naked Economics:  Undressing the Dismal Science
Author Charles Wheelan shakes the dust off economics, making the case that it is not just an arcane academic science but a practical set of tools. Eschewing jargon, charts, and equations, Wheelan gives us the essentials. He clearly defines terms like GDP and inflation, explaining how they work and what the short- and long-term impact might be.  He also examines the pros and cons of taxation. Topics like productivity, trade, and globalization are insightfully covered as well.
Pearson Business Reference & Writer's Handbook
This easy-to-use reference tool helps users quickly access the information they need to solve writing problems and improve their use of Standard English. Offering a two books-in-one approach, it includes principles for producing grammatically correct documents (business reference manual) and concrete examples of how to improve and modify writing to meet specific communications objectives (writing handbook). 


Walk the Walk:  The #1 Rule for Real Leaders
Author Alan Deutschman offers a new take on the true nature of great leadership.  According to the author, most leaders focus too much on what they say and not nearly enough on setting an example.  This book shows what happens in those unusual cases of true leaders--in business, education, the military, and nonprofits--who always walked the walk, especially when times got tough.  In a skeptical world, their actions gave them more credibility than even the best possible speeches.
