Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

The Hedge Funds Book: How to Invest in Hedge Funds & Earn High Rates of Return Safely
by
Northcott, Alan
ams2188
, April 06, 2010
While hedge funds are typically for those with a high annual income or wealth to spare, the Hedge Funds Book is a valuable source for anyone interested in investing. The easy to understand guide breaks down a complicated topic into easily digestible sections, clear bullet points, and interesting case studies. For those who struggle with financial lingo, such as myself, a glossary of various terms is located in the back of the book. The highly experienced author, Alan Northcott, covers both the basics of hedge funds and the more complex issues of strategies and assembling a portfolio. For readers who prefer visual learning, Northcott offers charts for topics such as the alternatives to hedge funds. In addition to investing, this book touches upon the various opportunities to work for a hedge fund including areas such as accounting, marketing, and management. For readers who are extremely reluctant to read a financial book, it may warm your heart to know that a portion of book’s profits are donated to the Humane Society of the United States. While I am in no position to invest in a hedge fund at this time, I have a soft spot for animals, and I strongly believe in donating to non-profits whenever possible.

The Complete Guide to Small-Scale Farming: Everything You Need to Know about Raising Beef and Dairy Cattle, Rabbits, Ducks, and Other Small Animals (Back-To-Basics)

Three years ago, I went from being a girl living in a suburban neighborhood with all the modern luxuries available to a woman to living on a dairy farm with no air conditioning and a rooster for an alarm clock. When I started dating a farmer, I was anxious to learn more about the industry, and I am always trying to understand the foreign practices that my guy tries to explain to me. Since making the lifestyle change, I have gained a greater appreciation for the environment and have become more health conscious. I prefer home-raised eggs and fresh produce to manufactured “food,” but many people are unaware of the pleasures that a rural lifestyle can offer. The Complete Guide to Small Scale Farming is an informative resource for both the novice and experienced farmer, as well as those who are just interested in learning more about the culture. The book covers every crevice of livestock farming such as chickens, beef and dairy cattle, waterfowl, rabbits, goats, sheep, and pigs. This realistic guide provides information on breeding, housing, and feeding the various animals as well as health concerns and butchering. The guide goes one step further and offers a list of valuable resources and an appendix explaining how to make butter and cheese. As a fan of homemade cooking, I can not wait to make my own cheese and butter. It may seem old fashioned, but at least, I know exactly what is going into my body, and cooking is a wonderful way to bond with the family. After reading The Complete Guide to Small Scale Farming, I am able to understand more conversations with my handsome farmer, appreciate the rural community around me, and am able add a few delicious recipes to my ever-growing cook book. Whether you are an experienced farmer, a newbie to the industry, or a curious soul looking for a glimpse into a different lifestyle, The Complete Guide to Small Scale Farming is a valuable resource for any one slightly interested in the world of small scale farming.

Do you live in Indiana? Have you completed the necessary steps to protect your loved ones, or have you been avoiding planning your estate as if it were the plague? Well, The Complete Guide to Planning Your Estate in Indiana will get you organized and prepared before you are faced with a horrific tragedy. Too often, people wait until it is too late to plan their estate. It is far easier to shuffle through your assets and to meet with professionals while you are young and healthy than when you are in the mist of a crisis. This easy-to-understand guide breaks down the estate planning process and empowers you with the knowledge you need to “protect your assets, limit your taxes, and ensure that your wishes are fulfilled.” Many people are overwhelmed by the legal process and the vast amount of information available, but this book provides readers with an easy-to-understand resource they can use to become acquainted with the topic before meeting with a professional. This complete guide covers everything from what estate planning is and why you should do it to how to lower your federal estate taxes and how to plan for long term care. While you may think you have decades before you need to plan your estate, the sooner you start the more options you will have and the less stressful the process will be. This one book, a few hours reading, a little research, and a meeting with a professional is all you need to ensure that you and your family are prepared for anything that life throws your way.
