Synopsis Connected by : Nicholas A. Christakis
Celebrated scientists Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler explain the amazing power of social networks and our profound influence on one another's lives. Your colleague's husband's sister can make you fat, even if you don't know her. A happy neighbor has more impact on your happiness than a happy spouse. These startling revelations of how much we truly influence one another are revealed in the studies of Dr. Christakis and Fowler, which have repeatedly made front-page news nationwide. In Connected, the authors explain why emotions are contagious, how health behaviors spread, why the rich get richer, even how we find and choose our partners. Intriguing and entertaining, Connected overturns the notion of the individual and provides a revolutionary paradigm-that social networks influence our ideas, emotions, health, relationships, behavior, politics, and much more. It will change the way we think about every aspect of our lives.

Synopsis Connected for Good by : John Stanley
The best kind of generosity is done with others, not for others. People of means & substance are growing weary of fundraising run by charity leaders who've adopted the tactics of professional salespeople. They're looking for ways to make change that's important to them rather than just responding to an endless stream of appeals & campaigns. In Connected for Good, John Stanley explores the Generosity Gaps-places where men & women hold back their giving because "It's not the right time," "I don't have enough," or "I might be making a difference but I'm not seeing lasting change." He then presents a fresh playbook for generosity based on the heart's desire for connection. Going beyond the traditional time, talent & treasure, he encourages giving from the renewable currencies of relationships, strengths & resources. And he explores how to make use of the multiplier effect to greatly increase impact. With a clear gameplan for living generously, more & more of us will be connected for good.

Synopsis Linked by : Albert-László Barabási
The best-selling guide to network science, the revolutionary field that reveals the deep links between all forms of human social life A cocktail party. A terrorist cell. Ancient bacteria. An international conglomerate. All are networks, and all are a part of a surprising scientific revolution. In Linked, Albert-Lálórabá, the nation's foremost expert in the new science of networks, takes us on an intellectual adventure to prove that social networks, corporations, and living organisms are more similar than previously thought. Barabá shows that grasping a full understanding of network science will someday allow us to design blue-chip businesses, stop the outbreak of deadly diseases, and influence the exchange of ideas and information. Just as James Gleick and the Erdos-Réi model brought the discovery of chaos theory to the general public, Linked tells the story of the true science of the future and of experiments in statistical mechanics on the internet, all vital parts of what would eventually be called the Barabá-Albert model.

Synopsis Clarity & Connection by : Yung Pueblo
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the celebrated author of Inward comes the second in series, a collection of poetry and short prose focused on understanding how past wounds impact our present relationships. In Clarity & Connection, Yung Pueblo describes how intense emotions accumulate in our subconscious and condition us to act and react in certain ways. In his characteristically spare, poetic style, he guides readers through the excavation and release of the past that is required for growth. To be read on its own or as a complement to Inward, Yung Pueblo’s second work is a powerful resource for those invested in the work of personal transformation, building self-awareness, and deepening their connection with others.

Synopsis The Bismarck Memorandum by : A. E. Degnan
Two German familiesone corrupt and Aryan, while the other honorable and Jewishform an unlikely and convoluted relationship spanning three generations. Then in June of 1944 comes the inevitable final reckoning. In the waning days of Nazi Germany, two larcenous conspiracies collide tragically in a forgotten backwater of war-ravaged Germany, both plans sabotaged by their lone common participant. Four people die, and four others simply disappear without a trace, though clearly not together. Also missing is a fortune in Nazi gold and artwork. The obscure incident generates a cryptic memo, which finds its way into the highest echelons of the Third Reich. Then the Reich falls, the incident, the treasure, and the memo all disappearing into history. In July 1970, a quarter-century later, the memo resurfaces. And the killings begin again. Drawn unsuspecting into the carnage, the descendants know only that they must unravel the puzzle before one of them becomes the next victim. But the trail is cold and the search frustrating, each new revelation taking them further back in history and deeper into the bizarre world of the Third Reich. And looming before them is the danger zone, a fanatic cabal of SS survivors determined to find the answers first.
