The Economist Style Guide (2005)
Most newspapers and magazines issue their contributors with a style guide. Writers, be they on staff or freelance, then know whether a publication's house style requires % or per cent or commas in dates. Sometimes it's just a tatty sheet of typed A4 but since 1986 The Economist has developed its stylish Style Guide, through six editions, into a full length reference book.
This Guide to English Grammar is a systematic account of grammatical forms and the way they are used in standard British English today. The emphasis is on meanings and how they govern the choice of grammatical pattern.

Rich Dad's Rich Kid, Smart Kid: Give your Child a Financial Head Start
Growing up with two father figures, a Rich Dad and a Poor Dad,
Robert T. Kiyosaki understood well the importance of financial
planning. In this easy-to-read parenting guide, Kiyosaki and co-author
Sharon Lechter design a step-by-step guide to moms and dads to explain
to their children the basics of our financial economythe employees, the
self-employed, the business owners, and the investors. The authors
explain that providing children with financial problem-solving skills,
can help to ensure a profitable future.
Rich Dad's Guide to Investing What the Rich Invest in, that the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
by Robert Kiyosaki
The rich are different from the rest of us, if for no other reason than
U.S. tax and securities laws allow them to invest in ways that keep us
from catching up to them.
That's why 90 percent of all corporate shares of stock are owned by 10
percent of the people. Kiyosaki believes it's possible for anyone to
move up into that 10 percent, but it takes a different view of
investing than most people have: it takes a plan to be a successful
investor. And a plan is more than simply buying and selling, or
collecting "assets" that bring in no cash and are thus more akin to
liabilities.
The way most people invest, "they might as well be pushing a
wheelbarrow in a circle," he writes. A plan is "mechanical, automatic,
and boring," a formula for success that has worked historically for
most of those who've used it. Kiyosaki's "rich dad" (actually, the
father of his best friend) tells him the simplest analogy is the game
Monopoly: buy four green houses, trade them for one red hotel, and
repeat until you become rich.
