Andres Bello was a towering figure in 19th-century Latin America, as influential and famous there as Thomas Jefferson in the United States.

This book gives us a generous sampling of a gifted thinker.

I'm Dying Up Here: Heartbreak and High Times in Stand-up Comedy's Golden Era

I'm Dying Up Here: Heartbreak and High Times in Stand-up Comedy's Golden Era
PublicAffairs | 304 pages | 2009 | ISBN: 158648317X | PDF | 1.6 mb

This book does a wonderful job of humanizing people we know only as performers - David Letterman, Tom Dreesen, Richard Lewis and many other well-known comedians. You see them off stage, as real people in real and often difficult situations. It's also one of the best books I've ever read about the cut-throat business side of "show business." If you have any interest at all in the history of stand-up comedy (not how to do it - you won't find that here) and what makes comedians do what they do, I highly recommend this book. If you're looking for laughs, you'll find a few here, but there are equal parts tragedy, so don't pick it up expecting big yuks on every page.

The Reemergence of Self-Employment: A Comparative Study of Self-Employment Dynamics and Social Inequality
Princeton University Press | 480 pages | 2004 | ISBN: 0691117578 | PDF | 1.3 mb

This book presents results of a cross-national research project on self-employment in eleven advanced economies and demonstrates how and why the practice is reemerging in modern societies. While traditional forms of self-employment, such as skilled crafts work and shop keeping, are in decline, they are being replaced by self-employment in both professional and unskilled occupations. Differences in self-employment across societies depend on the extent to which labor markets are regulated and the degree to which intergenerational family relationships are a primary factor structuring social organization.

Taming the River: Negotiating the Academic, Financial, and Social Currents in Selective Colleges and Universities
Princeton University Press | 320 pages | 2009 | ISBN: 0691139644 | PDF | 1.2 mb

Building on their important findings in The Source of the River, the authors now probe even more deeply into minority underachievement at the college level. Taming the River examines the academic and social dynamics of different ethnic groups during the first two years of college. Focusing on racial differences in academic performance, the book identifies the causes of students' divergent grades and levels of personal satisfaction with their institutions.
