  the man who rewrote the rules of American capitalism as the founder of (so

  far) three multibillion dollar companies—Silicon Graphics, Netscape, and

  Healtheon. Lewis’ shrewd, often brilliantly funny, narrative provides ahead-

  of-the-curve observations about the Internet explosion and how the success of

  Silicon Valley companies is forcing a reassessment of traditional Wall Street

  business models.

  Peck, M. Scott, The Road Less Traveled, Touchstone Books, Carmichael, CA, 1998.

  Perhaps no book in modern times has had a more profound impact on our

  intellectual and spiritual lives than The Road Less Traveled. With sales of more than 7 million copies in the United States and Canada, and translations into

  more than 23 languages, it has made publishing history, with more than 10

  years on the New York Times best seller list. Now, with a new Introduction by

  the author, written especially for this 25th anniversary deluxe trade paperback edition of the all-time national best seller in its field, Peck explains the ideas that shaped this book and that continue to influence an ever-growing audi-ence of readers. Written in a voice that is timeless in its message of under-

  standing, The Road Less Traveled continues to help us explore the very nature of loving relationships and leads us toward a new serenity and fullness of life.

  Roth, Martin, The Writer’s Complete Crime Reference Book, Writer’s Digest Books, Cincinnati, OH, 1990.

  An excellent reference for both the security professional and crime writer.

  Easy to use, indexed, and with a rich narrative, it provided an excellent

  resource to anyone studying crime, crime prevention, or simply interested in

  this fascinating topic.

  Sennewald, Charles S., The Process of Investigation, 2nd ed., Butterworth-Heinemann, Woburn, MA, 2001.

  This book was written to address the needs of the private investigator in the

  security field, says the author. Continuing in the tradition of its previous editions, this book covers essential topics that are often overlooked in works that concentrate on the public aspects of investigation. Investigative skills, such

  as surveillance techniques, interviewing and interrogation, evidence, and

  confessions and written statements, are all discussed and supplemented with

  updated case studies and examples. Somewhat outdated, this work overlooks

  many of the nuances of modern workplace investigations.

  Stout, Martha, The Sociopath Next Door, Three Rivers Press, New York, 2006.

  Psychologist Martha Stout reveals that a shocking 4 percent of ordinary

  people—1 in 25—have an often undetected mental disorder, the chief

  symptom of which is that that person possesses no conscience. He or she

  has no ability whatsoever to feel shame, guilt, or remorse. One in 25 every-

  day Americans, therefore, is secretly a sociopath. They could be your col-

  league, your neighbor, even family. And they can do literally anything at all

  and feel absolutely no guilt. It is the ruthless versus the rest of us, and The Sociopath Next Door will show you how to recognize and defeat the devil you know.

  Toobin, J., The Run of His Life: The People v. O. J. Simpson, Random House, New York, 1997.

  Called by The Wall Street Journal “the pick of the litter” among books on the O. J. Simpson criminal trial, this is the definitive commentary on the most

  famous trial of this century. Fast paced and breathtaking.

  There are few skills more important to the modern fact finder than the

  ar

  ability to obtain information through effective interviewing. While most

  o

  interviewing books are intended for law enforcement, they often present

  harsh and accusatory techniques that can be counterproductive in private

  sector investigations.

  In

  Investigative Interviewing: Psychology, Method and Practice covers modern techniques for private sector investigative interviews. It outlines a highly

  v

  structured and process-driven technique that takes a nonaccusatory

  e

  approach, uses no intimidation or coercion, and has been proven to achieve

  admission rates above 90 percent. This time-tested methodology is easy to

  s

  learn and replicate and will help you to significantly diminish the likelihood

  ti

  of false confessions.
