I am an avid reader. My favorite authors are Michael Connelly, John Sandford, David Baldacci, Tom Clancy, W.E.B. Griffin, and Patricia Cornwell. Is there a web resource where I can sign up to be notified when particular authors have a new book coming out?
I have this source with two authors and I do not know how to place them in the works cited. Do I place it alphabetically based on the first author mentioned or what?
Dan Roam visits Google’s Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss his book “The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures.” This event took place on May 27, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series. Drawing on twenty years of visual problem solving combined with the recent discoveries of vision science, this book shows anyone how to clarify a problem or sell an idea by visually breaking it down using a simple set of visual thinking tools — tools that take advantage of everyone’s innate ability to look, see, imagine, and show. The Back of the Napkin proves that thinking with pictures can help anyone discover and develop new ideas, solve problems in unexpected ways, and dramatically improve their ability to share their insights. This book will help readers literally see the world in a new way. Dan Roam is the founder and president of Digital Roam Inc., a management- consulting firm that helps business executives solve complex problems through visual thinking. He has brought his unique approach to clients such as General Electric, Wal-Mart, Wells Fargo Bank, the US Navy, HBO, News Corporation, and Sun Microsystems, among many others. He lectures around the country for clients and at business conferences.
THE BLIND SIDE: Evolution of a Game focuses on a young man who will one day be among the most highly paid athletes in the NFL. When we first meet him, he is one of thirteen children by a mother addicted to crack; he does not know his real name, his father, his birthday, or any of the things a child might learn in school—such as, say, how to read or write. Nor has he ever touched a football. What changes? He takes up football, and school, after a rich, Evangelical, Republican family plucks him from the mean streets. Their love is the first great force that alters the world’s perception of the boy, whom they adopt. The second force is the evolution of professional football itself into a game where the quarterback must be protected at any cost. Our protagonist turns out to be the priceless combination of size, speed, and agility necessary to guard the quarterback’s greatest vulnerability: his blind side. Author of the bestsellers Liar’s Poker, The New New Thing, and Moneyball, Michael Lewis writes regularly for the New York Times Magazine and Bloomberg News. He lives in Berkeley, California. This event took place on September 18, 2007 at the Google New York office. This was Michael’s second visit to Google, but his first to NY. He is interviewed by Google’s own Khee Lee.
