DELIGHTFUL NEOLOGISMS – REVIEW OF JONATHON KEATS’ “VIRTUAL WORDS”

I have found it to be quite an effort keeping up with the new jargon being thrown up by the scientific and IT fields in recent times. I remember the first time I encountered the word “tweet”.

PREDICTIONS GALORE – REVIEW OF PETER D SCHIFF’S “CRASH PROOF 2.0”

There are few books I would term “life defining”. For instance, Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged made me a capitalist for life while J D Salinger’s Catcher In The Rye and Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird helped me grow in other ways. A recent book that helped define my worldview was Crash Proof 2.0: How To Profit From The Economic Collapse (2009) written by Peter D Schiff along with John Downes.
