2012 and the End of the World: The Western Roots of the Maya Apocalypse by Matthew Restall - Powell's Books
november 2011 by cshalizi
"Did the Maya really predict that the world would end in December of 2012? If not, how and why has 2012 millenarianism gained such popular appeal? In this deeply knowledgeable book, two leading historians of the Maya answer these questions in a succinct, readable, and accessible style. Matthew Restall and Amara Solari introduce, explain, and ultimately demystify the 2012 phenomenon. They begin by briefly examining the evidence for the prediction of the world's end in ancient Maya texts and images, analyzing precisely what Maya priests did and did not prophesize. The authors then convincingly show how 2012 millenarianism has roots far in time and place from Maya cultural traditions, but in those of medieval and Early Modern Western Europe. Revelatory and myth-busting, while remaining firmly grounded in historical fact, this fascinating book will be essential reading as the countdown to December 21, 2012, begins." --- They're speaking here on Nov. 28th, but I suspect I won't be able to make it.

The Damned Highway: Fear and Loathing in Arkham: A Savage Journey Into the Heart of the American Nightmare, and Back Again by Brian Keene - Powell's Books
october 2011 by cshalizi
Why did no one tell me about this before? "A hilarious, shocking, terrifying thrill-ride across the American landscape, The Damned Highway combines two great flavors of weird: the gonzo journalism of Hunter S. Thompson and the uncanny terrors of H.P. Lovecraft Horror legend Brian Keene and cult storytelling master Nick Matamas dredge up a tale of drug-fueled eldritch madness from the blackest depths of the American Nightmare. On a freaked-out bus journey to Arkham, Massachusetts and the 1972 Presidential primary, evidence mounts that sinister forces are on the rise, led by the Cult of Cthulhu and its most prominent member - Richard M. Nixon."
Later: They do a good job of capturing Thompson's style, not just the verbal tics but also the concerns, and the Mythos fits in... surprisingly well.

The Swerve: How the World Became Modern | W. W. Norton & Company
july 2011 by cshalizi
"How the World Became Modern" is of course a completely indefensible exaggeration of the impact of Lucretius, so this starts with a strike against it, but I like the topic so I'll give it a shot nonetheless.

Principles of Applied Statistics - Academic and Professional Books - Cambridge University Press
may 2011 by cshalizi
"Applied statistics is more than data analysis, but it is easy to lose sight of the big picture. David Cox and Christl Donnelly distil decades of scientific experience into usable principles for the successful application of statistics, showing how good statistical strategy shapes every stage of an investigation. As you advance from research or policy question, to study design, through modelling and interpretation, and finally to meaningful conclusions, this book will be a valuable guide. Over a hundred illustrations from a wide variety of real applications make the conceptual points concrete, illuminating your path and deepening your understanding. This book is essential reading for anyone who makes extensive use of statistical methods in their work."

A Call for Judgment: Sensible Finance for a Dynamic Economy by Amar Bhide - Powell's Books
october 2010 by cshalizi
"Bhide warns us that modern finance is on a collision course with the true heart of capitalism: innovation and entrepreneurship. Deepening this disconnect is the growing complexity of banks, which habitually fail to hold bankers accountable for their mistakes, while blatantly subverting the tough banking rules established in the 1930s. As Bhide makes clear, the erosion of these rules displaced traditional relationship-based lending in favor of liquid, anonymous securities, which ultimately succeeded in depriving large banks (and other publicly traded companies) of oversight by investors with first-hand knowledge of the business or its managers. Identifying this lack of monitoring as a fatal flaw that destabilized the economy and helped trigger the financial crisis, Bhide pushes for tough, straightforward limits on the activities of commercial banks and financial instruments such as money market funds."

Free Mall of Cthulhu Ebook! - Food Court of Fear
may 2010 by cshalizi
"Right now there are two ebook versions of my novel The Mall of Cthulhu available. One is the kindle edition, the other is the version on webscription.net. Though it's priced higher, I know some folks may want to buy the webscription version because of concerns about Amazon's DRM. Here's the problem, though-- the webscription.net version is an unauthorized edition. Nobody connected with that edition has the right to sell an electronic version of my book, and at this point, it's not at all clear that I will ever get paid for what amounts to the theft of my intellectual property. Nobody's returning my emails, and let's be honest--we're not talking about big money here, so it's not worth anybody's while to involve attorneys or anything." Therefore, Cooper has made the PDF of the advance reading copy free online, which is certainly one way to undermine the competition! (I paid for my paper copy and recommend it.)

Barfield, T.: Afghanistan: A Cultural and Political History.
january 2010 by cshalizi
This looks extremely promising, not least because Barfield was studying Afghanistan _before_ 2001: "introduces readers to the bewildering diversity of tribal and ethnic groups in Afghanistan, explaining what unites them as Afghans despite [their[ regional, cultural, and political differences.... [G]overning these peoples was relatively easy when power was concentrated in a small dynastic elite ... delicate political order broke down in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries when Afghanistan's rulers mobilized rural militias to expel first the British and later the Soviets. Armed insurgency proved remarkably successful against the foreign occupiers, but it also undermined the Afghan government's authority and rendered the country ever more difficult to govern as time passed...."
