This book of 48 short fables invites us to re-think our most basic assumptions about money, debt, wealth, income disparity, and achieving change. Why is it that we are so good at creating wealth but so bad at dividing it up? Are there really 'laws' of economics which would break if we did things differently? Sometimes our deepest thinking is inspired by the simplest of questions. Often the best questions are asked by children. A little story can be a good place to store a good question. Then it is always there, ready to be asked when it matters the most.

"Einstein Didn't Say That" is a lighthearted but respectful exploration of the everyday logic behind special and general relativity. The first person to use the term 'curved space' was not Einstein, and not a physicist, but a reporter for the New York Times, who needed a catchy headline. What did Einstein really say, or not say, about curved space, time travel, wormholes, traveling twins, extra dimensions, multiple universes, dark matter and more? Have we been sold more sizzle than steak? With the help of dozens of quotes from well-known physicists, but mainly from Einstein himself, the author tries to separate Einstein's original ideas from some of the speculation that those ideas inspired in others. This is not a textbook or a history of physics, but rather the personal story of an ordinary guy's delight in discovering firsthand the genius, the logic, and the good old common sense in Einstein's work. When we take the time to look at what Einstein did say, and why, we can go on to develop our own opinions about the multitude of subsequent theories and ideas which claim to contain the DNA of relativity. An enjoyable pursuit!

Many consumers have lost confidence in the real estate market. "Let's Buy A House" is the first book on home ownership from the real estate appraiser's perspective detailing all aspects of the home from the land up, the components of home value, how to buy and sell, and why home ownership is still a critical part of lifetime planning. This is so much more than a book on buying and selling a home. It moves beyond current market fluctuations, and refocuses the reader on the home as shelter and a lifetime investment. This book addresses itself to the fundamentals of home ownership with the goal of having the primary residence paid off at retirement.
