The Elephant, the Tiger and the Cell Phone: India:

10/22/2007
Logan Hesse
India is a country that is defined by its diversity.

The Elephant, the Tiger and the Cell Phone is a bit like watching a Thai slapstick comedy without the subtitles: you are often entertained, and you get the gist of what is going on, but at the end you still are not quite sure what the point was. It reads more like a series of essays than a cohesive book and, indeed, the author states in the introduction that each chapter can be read on its own.

Carolyn 101

10/7/2006
agneris medina
To the faithful viewers of the show, The Apprentice, Carolyn Kepcher is one of Donald Trump's fearless show advisors.

She is said to be the 'straight shooter' of the show with her tell-it-like-it-is attitude, but in her book, 'Carolyn 101' published in 2004 by Fireside, she becomes the professional mentor any woman in corporate America would love to have.

It is certainly her fame and her familiar face that lures you to pick up her book, however, it is its contents that captivates and keeps you reading from beginning to end.

Money 201

2/22/2004
Marc Duane Anderson
How to save money by cutting costs.

Personal finance columnist Ellen Roseman says almost everyone has money available for investing, they just have to know where to look for it.

The main thrust of her approach involves reducing housing and transportation costs, which frees up disposable income for investing. One of her recommendations is tallying the cost of operating a vehicle. By the time you factor in gas, insurance, licence and registration, and financing costs, you might be surprised or astounded by how much it costs to own or lease a car. It might be enough to make you want to take the bus or subway instead.
