Supreme Ultimate
by Lawrence Galante
I feel this is the perfect book for the beginner. One who studies
Cheng Man Chings' Yang style short form.It touches lightly on so much of
the history and origin of T'ai Chi.It speaks of the philosophy,
spirituality,and explains other Eastern systems. As a matter of fact It
seems to try to answer all your questions as to T'ai Chi and gives the
beginner a good background on this ancient art, The second portion goes
over Cheng Man Ching's form in great detail. Once again I caution you this
nor any other book should try to replace a teacher,but rather accompany
lessons in the classroom. The author also writes the same caution.Detailed
pictures showing the form from different angles and including martial arts
applications. under the pictures is graphic tha tshows the direction you
face , the portion of wieght you distribute,and how to breath and when. It
sounds like enough to do away with your teacher. Please don't! Remember my
advice First decide on a teacher, If this is the Style and form he
practices this is a great book to go along with it.

Selfish Genes-
Richard Dawkins
This is the book that tells of the selfish gene. It is a world of
savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit. But what of the
acts of apparent altruism in nature the bees who commit suicide when they
sting to protect the hive, for example? Professor Dawkins holds out the
hope that our species has the power to rebel against the designs of the
selfish gene. This is Richard Dawkins' first and most famous book, selling

languages.
Owning The Future-
by Seth Shulman
What was new used to be tangible: inventions, products, works of
art. Now, knowledge itself typically drives our technologies and economies
and, according to Shulman, is controlled by very few people. A drug for
treating cancer is held up because one pharmaceutical company is suing
another over ownership of a part of the drug's underlying technology. A
mathematician wins a patent for two large prime numbers, securing
exclusive use of them for the next 20 years. And, who will own specific
gene maps once the Human Genome Project is completed? Shulman uses these
examples and others to assess the "threat" from private ownership of
intellectual property.

Business @ The Speed of Thought-
Bill Gates
So where do you want to go tomorrow? That's the question Bill Gates
tries to answer in Business @ the Speed of Thought. Gates offers a 12-step
program for companies wanting to do business in the next millennium. The
book's premise: Thanks to technology, the speed of business is
accelerating at an ever-increasing rate, and to survive, it must develop
an infrastructure--a "digital nervous system"--that allows for the
unfettered movement of information inside a company. Gates writes that
"The most meaningful way to differentiate your company from your
competition ... is to do an outstanding job with information. How you
gather, manage, and use information will determine whether you win or
lose."

The Predictors-
Thomas A. Bass
Using a computer to beat Wall Street from afar is, arguably, the new
American dream. While it will remain just that for most of us, an offbeat
gang of academics turned financial wizards is showing it can be done. Led
by acclaimed physicists Doyne Farmer and Norman Packard, the Santa Fe-
based Prediction Company has proven since its 1991 founding in an adobe
bungalow furnished with plastic lawn chairs and top-of-the-line Sun
workstations that it is indeed possible to make millions in the world's
financial markets by anticipating trends and developing software that
automatically capitalizes on them. In The Predictors, Thomas A. Bass
colorfully relates their tale of fiscal triumph--and reveals in the
process how even an unorthodox group of antibusiness intellectuals in far-
off New Mexico can make the world's biggest institutions sit up and take
notice.
Long esteemed in the scientific community, Farmer and Packard have
become legendary in hacker circles since their failed attempt to beat
the roulette tables in Las Vegas with toe-operated computers was
chronicled in Bass's well-regarded 1985 book called The Eudaemonic Pie.
This time, though, the two hit the jackpot with their cutting-edge
computer programs and the company they created to trade German marks,
Chicago commodities, Japanese treasury bonds, Texas oil futures, and
New York securities. Bass's prose is a bit flowery at times, but his
perceptive you-are-there account is nonetheless entertaining and sure
to cement the pair's reputation as today's ultimate masters of
"phynance," the successful, and now oft-copied, merger of physics and
finance.
