In this engaging and challenging book, Robert Hagstrom outlines a new approach to investing based on the ideas of two highly successful investors: Charlie Munger of Berkshire Hathaway and bill Miller of Legg Mason. Both Munger and Miller believe in the latticework approach to investing, one that is based on a working knowledge of a variety of disciplines. Latticework is a true liberal arts approach to investing. It carries the reader from Ben Franklin's vision of education to St. John's College with its Great Books program to the cutting-edge Santa Fe Institute, a multi-disciplinary research center which brings together scientists from a variety of fields to address complex adaptive systems, including markets and economies. In helping readers develop the worldly vision they need to succeed financially, Latticework also points the way to a richer, fuller, more rewarding life.

Absolut: Biography of a Bottle

This book is the “official story” of how Absolut Vodka came to be. Carl Hamilton found that publishing this book in Swedish would cost him his job at a prestigious economics institute. When he published an expanded version of a research project based on a research project commissioned by the liquor company, Vin and Spirit, he lost his job at the Stockholm School of Economics. His book credits Absolut’s huge popularity to the “little guys” rather than to the suits at large ad agencies. This book is the Liar’s Poker of marketing, revealing the sordid stories behind the official one.

HAMILTON, CARL

Manchester Unlimited: The Money, Egos and Infighting Behind the World's Richest Soccer Club

Today Manchester United is one of the world's richest and most successful sporting organizations, with an aura of invincibility surrounding it. No club in the history of English soccer has ever reached such a position. Yet exactly ten years ago Manchester United was up for sale to a man, who was described as an 'educationalist', for a mere L20 million, and even as late as 1993, United's income was less than that of Tottenham, a club which in the last ten years has seen two changes of ownership, horrendous Boardroom problems leading to court battles, and seven different managers. This is a unique behind-the-scenes look at the modern Manchester United - the circumstances, people, events and controversies that have made Manchester United plc what it is today.

In this penetrating book, Russell Hotten examines, for the first time, the business and finance of Formula One. In particular, he explains the often complex web of team owners, drivers, engineers, sponsors, and the media that has turned Formula One into such a rich and glamorous sport. The book profiles the sport's movers and shakers (Bernie Ecclestone, Max Mosley, Frank Williams, and Eddie Jordan) and its multi-millionaire drivers (Michael Schumacher, Jacques Villeneuve). It examines the vital role of the engineers and designers who have propelled Formula One into a new age of machine technology. And it also looks at the future of the sport that is increasingly being driven by the demands of sponsors and the media.
