Quiet Strength: The Principles, Practices, & Priorities of a Winning Life by Tony Dungy

wfzimmerman’s review: “I liked Dungy more after reading this than before. A good guy. One of the most amusing anecdotes concerns his Minnesota college team playing Ohio State in the ’80s. OSU came out on the field for warmups and Dungy thought, "hey, they don’t look so big." It turned out that those were just the skill position players, and the behemoths had not yet come on field.”

Rating: 5

THE DISCOVERY OF GLOBAL WARMING by Spencer Weart

Rating: 3
Review of: The discovery of global warming by Weart, Spencer R., 1942-

Oddly enough, I found the supporting website for this book to be more useful for my needs. The book is at too high a level of abstraction from the underlying scientific literature (no doubt to appeal to a general audience). The supporting website goes into more depth.

Rating: 3
Review of: I am America (and so can you!)

Cute, but not nearly up to the standard of Al Franken’s similar non-book from last year.
