Reading little books about Buddhism can be very calming, at least for me.

A suprisingly optimistic and idealistic account of modern politics by the famous policital advisor.

The classic practical manual for princes and other despots. With a little bit of advice for those who have to suffer them.

A tiny little book about the mathematician, philosopher, and founder of modern computing Alan Turing.

A nice and thorough introduction to PHP, the web scripting language. I still like Zope better, though.

A good reference to the fast-changing programming language Python. My one complaint is that the type is too small.

A history of humanity’s relationship to the fish called cod. An excellent read, with lots of recipes.

This is the 1997 edition of Project Censored’s publication of the top 25 news stories that were ignored by the mainstream press. It also features cartoons by Tom Tomorrow. Scary stuff.
