What's In My Summer Book Bag

My list for the summer:

• Drucker & Me by Bob Buford.  I am a huge fan of Peter Drucker.
• Mapping the End of Empire: American and British Strategic Visions in the Postwar World by Aiyaz Husain.  We still struggle in 2014 with where lines on maps were drawn a hundred years ago.
• The Most Dangerous Man in America: The Making of Douglas MacArthur by Mark Perry.  Great general, would have hated to work for him.
• You Are Here: From the Compass to GPS, the History and Future of How We Find Ourselves by Hiawatha Bray.  Will probably get lost in Columbus, Ohio next week.
• The Knowledge: How to Rebuild Our World From Scratch by Lewis Dartnell.  A must read before Walking Dead starts back up in the fall.
• The Wrong Enemy: America in Afghanistan by Carlotta Gall.  Wrong enemy in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Three wrongs.
• Infinitesimal: How a Dangerous Mathematical Theory Shaped the World by Amir Alexander.  Can battling mathematicians be exciting?
• A Game of Thrones by George R. Martin.  Typically not my thing.  In Chapter 3 - so where is all the sex?
• Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital by Sheri Fink.  Being a medical doctor is never easy.
• Write Anything: A Complete Guide by Laura Brown.  Page 164 - Letter to fight a parking ticket.
• Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty.  On page 339 - I really like it but not sure why.
• Flood Control and Drainage Engineering by S.N. Ghosh.  It just has to start raining in Texas.
• The Reckoning: Financial Accountability and the Rise and Fall of Nations by Jacob Soll.  A "sweeping" history of the world of debits and credits.  For the end of summer.
• The Transformation of the World: A Global History of the Nineteenth Century.  A very good century to be an engineer.
• The Gathering Storm: The Second World War Volume 1 by Winston Churchill.  A good time to start re-reading Churchill. 
•
