In a photo essay inspired by a passionate concern for our earth, Patricia Lauber discusses the forest fires that raged in Yellowstone National Park in summer 1988. Full-color photographs.I read people all the time -- from Jim Chanos to Fareed Zakaria -- who say China's growth is simply a bubble, or they have overbuilt their infrastructure, or it is not sustainable for one reason or another. This book was great. Another big realization for me is that I should be looking for companies that I will like and thrive well in, not just anywhere that will have me.
