The Geocaching Handbook: The Guide for Family Friendly, High-Tech Treasure Hunting by Layne Cameron
4.0
Mr. President: How and Why the Founders Created a Chief Executive by Ray Raphael
5.0
I liked the narrative parts of this book that take readers inside the action of the framers' development of executive power in the U.S.A. The author lets us see where the lofty ideals of independent governance intersect the economic and political realities of the day. This book is a must-read to understand how we got the kind of executive branch that we did.
Swarm Intelligence: What Nature Teaches Us About Shaping Creative Leadership by James Haywood Rolling Jr.
4.0
This book progresses thought and action around how to live and lead more creatively. While acknowledging the challenge of the task, Rolling begins the book by talking about definitions of creativity and how it may be measured. I feel like this gives body of the writing a good grounding and Rolling takes the reader through the connections between swarm behavior and collective development of creativity. Rollings outlines the reasons why creative leadership solutions to problems and leadership are sorely needed, but does not get bogged down with outlining our challenges. The pace of the book keeps moving and inspires further thought and action. A worthwhile read for educators, business people, and anyone who feels that they want to know how their creative expression might serve the world.
