On Human Nature – Edward O. Wilson

Anyone interested in a book which revolutionizes the study of humans should check out On Human Nature by Edward O. Wilson. The book was written in 1978 and now there are many books building upon its themes; I will post some of them in the future.

Servant Leadership – Robert K. Greenleaf

Recommended by John Bogle, Servant Leadership revolutionizes the way in which organizations are structured. Robert K. Greenleaf argues that institutions should be built upon the Roman idea of primus inter pares. The ancient idea, that leaders should be “one among equals,” benefits modern corporations and government institutions which are traditionally built upon a hierarchical type of organization. These benefits are outlined and discussed throughout the book.

Julius Caesar – Philip Freeman

Julius Caesar, by Philip Freeman, details the life of one of the most influential people in history. Not only does the biography contain a detailed account of Caesar, but also provides a remarkable look at the culture and politics of ancient Rome. Freeman’s book is a must read for any reader interested in Caesar and ancient Rome.

AvaxHome Download Site

AvaxHome is one of my favourite sites for downloading. The site contains books, magazines, audio-books, and comics available for download in PDF; it has music ripped in FLAC, and much, much more. All of the links are direct download, so I would recommend getting JDownloader for simplicity.

How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed – Ray Kurzweil

I think one of the next books I read will be Ray Kurzweil’s How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed. The book was recently published and Kurzweil has been known to produce some interesting ideas. In fact, I am planning to read a few of his other books as well.
