Warren Buffet once said that his favourite period for a stock is "forever". Here, James Altucher shows how to find ""forver"" stocks - ones that can be safely bought and held for at least 20 years. These companies will profit from braod demographic trends and can ride short-term market fluctuations. The Forever Portfolio shows investors how to build a strong, consistent, long-term portfolio, diversified enough to withstand the various cycles of the market. Social Science 
This book presents an unblinking look at the health, environmental, and national security costs hidden in every barrel of oil. "Lives Per Gallon" is a searing indictment of America's oil economy and a powerful prescription for change. With tales of corporations knowingly exposing citizens to poisonous chemicals, conspiring to derail public transportation, and purposely disabling their own pollution controls, Terry Tamminen builds a powerful case against powerful industries. And he shows how demanding accountability could help pave the road to sustainable energy. Offering real-world solutions, Tamminen poses a vital challenge: kick the oil habit or continue paying in lives per gallon. Photography 
With over 400 of the most closely guarded photographic "tricks of the trade," this boxed set-consisting of The Digital Photography Book, volume 1 and The Digital Photography Book, volume 2-is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to shoot dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos every time. Scott Kelby, the man who changed the "digital darkroom" forever with his ground-breaking, bestselling The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, now tackles the most important side of digital photography-how to take professional-quality shots using the same tricks today's top digital pros use (and it's easier than you think). These aren't books of theory, full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts. These are books on which button to push, which setting to use, and when to use it. Each page covers a single concept on how to make your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you'll learn another pro setting, tool, or trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. If you're tired of shots that look "okay," and if you're tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, "Why don't my shots look like that?" then these are the books for you. Music 
The musical adventure of a lifetime. The most exciting book on music in years. A book of treasure, a book of discovery, a book to open your ears to new worlds of pleasure. Doing for music what Patricia Schultz-author of the phenomenal 1,000 Places to See Before You Die-does for travel, Tom Moon recommends 1,000 recordings guaranteed to give listeners the joy, the mystery, the revelation, the sheer fun of great music. This is a book both broad and deep, drawing from the diverse worlds of classical, jazz, rock, pop, blues, country, folk, musicals, hip-hop, world, opera, soundtracks, and more. It's arranged alphabetically by artist to create the kind of unexpected juxtapositions that break down genre bias and broaden listeners' horizons- it makes every listener a seeker, actively pursuing new artists and new sounds, and reconfirming the greatness of the classics. Flanking J. S. Bach and his six entries, for example, are the little-known R&B singer Baby Huey and the '80s Rastafarian hard-core punk band Bad Brains. Farther down the list: The Band, Samuel Barber, Cecelia Bartoli, Count Basie, and Afropop star Waldemer Bastos. Each entry is passionately written, with expert listening notes, fascinating anecdotes, and the occasional perfect quote-"Your collection could be filled with nothing but music from Ray Charles," said Tom Waits, "and you'd have a completely balanced diet." Every entry identifies key tracks, additional works by the artist, and where to go next. And in the back, indexes and playlists for different moods and occasions. Beauty & Grooming 
According to a recent study, only 2% of women describe themselves as 'beautiful'. Fashion magazines instruct women how to 'look ten years younger,' 'cover up wrinkles,' or get fuller, plumper lips'. And even make-up products themselves play off women's insecurities, promising to conceal perceived flaws, define cheekbones, or make eyelashes fuller and longer. The underlying message? That there's something inherently wrong with the way women look and that they have to spend time, money, and energy keeping up with all the ways they should 'fix' themselves. In GET POSITIVELY BEAUTIFUL, Carmindy teaches women how to change their mindset from so-called 'flaws' created by the beauty industry, to a positive beauty philosophy. Women learn how to find and focus on their best features and how to combat negative thoughts about their appearance. Using makeover photos by renowned fashion photographer Troy Ward, Carmindy demonstrates easy make-up techniques for eyes, brows, lashes, lips, cheeks and skin, and how to adapt looks to different weather conditions and 'beauty moods.' A shopping list gives her top high- and low-end beauty products. food & Drink
