  Marber On Markets: How To Make Money From Charts (332 pages, £34.99 hardcover, 2007, ISBN 978-1-90564-113-0) by Brian Marber with a foreword by Anatole Kaletsky, published by Harriman Trading.

Because the author is unique and could make a fair claim to being the world's most widely experienced technical analyst, this is not your average book on technical analysis. Marber sets out to write the book in a way that is understandable and enjoyable while including details of the market's pitfalls, and his own pratfalls. He shares his 51 years of experience in the business and shows the reader the nitty-gritty of technical analysis, warts and all.

   Mobs, Messiahs, And Markets: Surviving The Public Spectacle In Finance And Politics (424 pages, $27.95 hardcover, 2007, ISBN 978-0-470-11232-8) by William Bonner and Lila Rajiva, published by John Wiley & Sons.

From witch hunts to the war on terror, from dotcom mania to the housing bubble, people have always been caught up in frauds and wild guesses, often with devastating results. In this book authors Bonner and Rajiva reveal why swimming against the current pays off. They explain why people abandon good sense to follow the crowd and show you how to avoid getting caught up in the public spectacles occurring around you. They point out that if an investor can recognize the way mob sentiment works, that investor is way ahead of the crowd. In an entertaining, but thoughtful, way they offer sound principles for avoiding the pitfalls and protecting your money and sanity.
