Ayn Rand<\/p>\n

The Fountainhead celebrates the creative mind as the origin of productive effort and joyous
\nlife. In my professional work, it has provided me an understanding of the philosophical
\nunderpinnings of entrepreneurial action and the resultant technological evolution and economic
\ngrowth. On the personal front, it has been a touch-point for my own journey as an intellectual
\nentrepreneur by emphasizing the notion: “To thy own ideas (and self) be true.”<\/p>\n

The work of Harvey Fletcher is historical yet was forgotten and misunderstood. Though an

Free to Choose is an eloquent personal statement by Milton and Rose Friedman about the

\ntime. Now, 2+ decades later, re-reading it is akin to an ‘intellectual homecoming.’<\/p>\n

High levels of consumer debt, low personal saving rates, and increases in personal bankruptcy
\nfilings have generated concern that consumers are inadequately prepared for today’s financial

\nactively involved in managing their own finances. Yet, many consumers, even those who would
\ndescribe themselves as “financially savvy,” are having difficulty assessing their options and
\nmaking sound financial decisions. For the past seven years, I have researched consumers’ financial
\nbehaviors and helped many to better manage their finances. This handbook serves as a wonderful

This book helped inspire me to pursue successful aging as my primary line of research. I felt

\npassionate about learning and sharing strategies for successful aging with older adults and

John Wideman was my graduate advisor and he remains an influential mentor. I have taught
\nWideman’s Damballah on many occasions and I am challenged and inspired by it every time. The book’s
\nvery substance–thematic and stylistic\u2014serves as a reminder (to myself and to my students) of the
\npower and necessity of story itself.<\/p>\n

\nPost-fascist Fantasies: Psychoanalysis, History, and the Literature of East
\nGermany<\/strong>
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Julia Hell<\/p>\n

This is a groundbreaking study on the difficulty of coming to terms with the Nazi past in
\nsocialist East Germany after 1945. Responding to the exclusion of antifascist literature from the
\ncanon of German speaking literature, Hell provides theoretically informed close readings that
\nprovide insights into the complexity of ideological and literary formations in the GDR. In many
\nways, this book has influenced my own work on memory and film in East Germany.<\/p>\n

\nSocial Development: The Origins and Plasticity of Interchanges<\/strong>
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Robert B. Cairns<\/p>\n

From our first relationships onward, children come to experience with others love and security,
\nconflict and aggression, altruism and empathy, freedom and constraint. Cairns’ achievement is to
\nsynthesize the varieties and inconsistencies of social behavior within the developing individual,
\nwho grows, changes, and stays the same through continuous social engagement.<\/p>\n

Italo Calvino<\/p>\n

A great book about reading, love and beginnings. With Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and
\nGuildenstern Are Dead, this really started me thinking about literature in a serious, theoretical
\nway. While other Calvino books (Invisible Cities) are equally great, this was the start. It’s also
\nthe first novel I read in Italian.<\/p>\n

Listening to speech is human nature. Displaying speech patterns for the eyes to see requires a
\nmajor scientific breakthrough. This book represents a profound understanding of how speech works.
\nAfter sixty years, its impact is still strong in many fields, including communication, phonetic
\nscience, speech technologies and education.<\/p>\n

This was one of my favorite books as a child, but it also affected the way I look at things as
