A Worthy Collection
This is an excellent collection of poems by one of the often overlooked members of the the Inklings. Mr. Dodds' useful introduction and organization of these vibrant poems is very helpful, and it's too bad that this book will be read primarily by academics.

Information technology in a global society
As a teacher of a course entitled "Information technology in a global society" i have found this book an excellent resource for both myself and my students alike. It's simple enough for an entry level reader (I have had kids as young as 11 discussing the ethical considerations presented in the book). While on the other hand it contains enough specifics and case studies to make it a suitable source for high school students preparing papers on a variety of topical issues.
What I love is that you can pick up the book and find the relavant information your looking for without having to read the whole book.

First-rate
This a readable book by a very successful man, who shares the basis of his success (and of others he's worked with, including Norton Simon). He is a noncomformist in a business suit, who has questioned orthodoxy and the status quo, to the benefit of his bank account. I'm surprised it is out of print, because it deserves to be the business classic that the lesser (but still valuable) WHAT THEY DON'T TEACH YOU AT HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL is.

great work
Some think of sprawl as a simple zero sum game: suburbs win, cities lose. But this book explains (with quantitative analysis from numerous regions) that sprawl, like the French Revolution, devours its own children: that older suburbs decline as newer suburbs suck away their elites. That fact is of course common knowledge in the Rust Belt. But Lucy and Phillips add another level of detail, explaining how some places have survived the rising tide of sprawl while others go into meltdown. Suburbs (and city neighborhoods) with historic housing and pedestrian-friendly features have often managed to keep up with the rest of their metro areas, while typical 1950s suburbs are the biggest losers from sprawl because they are stuck with the worst of both worlds: their housing is too small for 21st century tastes, yet they lack the urban amenities that lead to gentrification.

Single best accessibleintroduction to cost-benefit analysis.
This is the single best introduction to cost-benefit analysis available. I teach a master's level-upper division course in cost-benefit analysis at the University of California, San Diego, and have looked at many books. I always come back to this one. Because it is unfortunately out of print, I have to place it on reserves rather than having the students purchase it.
The book contains a surprising amount of information and very mature insights into the philosophical and ethical basis of applied welfare economcis and cost-benefit analysis. Yet the book does not bog down in unneccessary detail or technicalities. The book is unfortunately too limited in its scope and could be updated and expanded. It should also spend a chapter or two on project evaluation in less developed countries. I have to use Kohli's book, Economic Analysis of Investment Projects, for this purpose.
There are other books which contain more detail but these require a more sophisticated knowledge of microeconomics and especially applied welfare economics.
An expanded version of the book could also profit from more practical information on "how to do" cost-benefit analysis, such as along the lines of Sassone and Schaefer, Cost-Benefit Analysis.
The book is well written.

Different Perspectives Telling the Same Story
William Kloefkorn and David Lee face off in their first officially collaborative project. The two authors complement each other brilliantly, and each side of the book has a sister poem in the other, full of the wonderful humor and exquisite self examination that both Lee and Kloefkorn have always delivered. A view of life from what could be your own eyes, Covenants is a brilliant collection of poems about life, as simple and as complicated as that.

Outstanding overview of Willie Horton case
Anderson does an excellent job of researching and interviewing to tell the true story of Willie Horton, both less and more frightening than the 1988 Bush campaign presented it
