Tainted Truth: The Manipulation of Fact In America
(In this important and provocative book, Cynthia Crossen r...)
In this important and provocative book, Cynthia Crossen reveals how the manufacturers of silicone breast implants did not disclose information regarding the dangers of the implants, how the demise of the cloth-diaper industry was influenced by questionable statistics paid for by Procter & Gamble the leading supplier of disposable diapers, and how even the confirmation of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court was influenced by fast and biased polls.

The Rich and How They Got That Way: How the Wealthiest People of All Time - from Genghis Khan to Bill Gates - Made Their Fortunes
(These four men were among the richest people in history, ...)
These four men were among the richest people in history, and they and six others tell a dramatic and important story about how the wealthy have made, invested, and spent their money over the past thousand years. A millennium ago, plunder was a primary source of great fortunes. In the twelfth to fourteenth centuries, plunder became too dangerous, and trade took over as the source of great riches.
