The Main Street Manifesto; A User's Guide To Economic Recovery From The Bottom Up by Michael Waldock. Well, the banks have blown it, Wall
Street has failed us, corporate CEOs have robbed us, the economists have been consistently wrong, and the Feds are delusional!
It's down to Main Street to provide the sensible solutions that will rebuild our economy and bring jobs back to Americans.
The Main Street Manifesto--part history, part expose and all inspiration--can help.

VOYAGE 1855: A British Gentleman's Extraordinary Adventures Abroad by Thomas Hughes
Jackson In 1855, Thomas Hughes Jackson, a young man from Birkenhead, England, embarked on a three
year tour of the world. When he retuened he penned VOYAGE 1855, the shortest travel book ever written. Jackson's
experiences are unique and remarkable. He played billiards with a Javanese Emperor in Indonesia, hunted snipe on a nutmeg
plantation in Penang, Malaysia, helped put down an insurrection in Canton, China, and panned for gold in the Australian outback.
These and other adventures are recounted with charm and brevity.

"Unburdened by introspection, never whining, always ready for anything, the heroically Thomas Hughes Jackson
swiftly takes us 'round the world on a memorable journey where the 'fizz' flows freely, the snipe are shot in
shoals, Rio is uoverrun by rats, and our narrator blithely embraces one marvelously epic detour after another. Hughes
Jackson is a paragon of non-verbosity, a Ulyses of understatement, and the publication of his nano-memoir is a welcome gift
to our era of all-too-prolix travel writing."
