  1. Natural Capitalism - Creating the Next Industrial Revolution. Most businesses still operate according to a world view that hasn't changed since the start of the Industrial Revolution. Then, natural resources were abundant and labor was the limiting factor of production. But now, there's a surplus of people, while natural capital natural resources and the ecological systems that provide vital life-support services is scarce and relatively expensive. In this groundbreaking blueprint for a new economy, three leading business visionaries explain how the world is on the verge of a new industrial revolution.

  2. The Information Diet. The modern human animal spends upwards of 11 hours out of every 24 in a state of constant consumption. Not eating, but gorging on information ceaselessly spewed from the screens and speakers we hold dear. We're all battling a storm of distractions, buffeted with notifications and tempted by tasty tidbits of information. And just as too much junk food can lead to obesity, too much junk information can lead to cluelessness.

  3. Republic, Lost. With heartfelt urgency and a keen desire for righting wrongs, Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig takes a clear-eyed look at how fundamentally good people, with good intentions, have allowed our democracy to be co-opted by outside interests, and how this exploitation has become entrenched in the system. Rejecting simple labels and reductive logic - and instead using examples that resonate as powerfully on the Right as on the Left - Lessig seeks out the root causes of our situation. He plumbs the issues of campaign financing and corporate lobbying, revealing the human faces and follies that have allowed corruption to take such a foothold in our system.

  4. Free: How Today's Smartest Businesses Profit by Giving Something for Nothing. A generational and global shift is at play—those below 30 won't pay for information, knowing it will be available somewhere for free, and in China, piracy accounts for about 95% of music consumption. Anderson provides a thorough overview of the history of pricing and commerce, the mental transaction costs that differentiate zero and any other price into two entirely different markets, the psychology of digital piracy and the open-source war between Microsoft and Linux. Although Chris Anderson puts forward an intriguing argument in this cheerful, optimistic book, many critics remained unconvinced.

>There is such an enormous economic impact to being an NFL city that goes way way beyond whether our team sucks or not.

True, but not in the way you intended.

More often than not, "stadiums and arenas rarely bring about the promised prosperity, and instead leave cities and states mired in debt that they can't pay back before the franchise comes calling for more" according to leading sports economics that study the impact of stadium construction. (Atlantic, 2012)

"NFL stadiums do not generate significant local economic growth, and the incremental tax revenue is not sufficient to cover any significant financial contribution by the city,” said Noll, a senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. He has written articles and books and given talks on the public financing of sports stadiums. (Stanford, 2015)


"Hidden costs may include city or county [...] issuance of tax-free bonds that divert investors’ money away from school, road, and mass-transit infrastructure (Hamilton County, Ohio, issued tax-free bonds to fund the stadium where the Cincinnati Bengals play, and has chronic deficits for school and infrastructure needs as a result)." (Atlantic, 2015)

"In a 2015 study, Ted Gayer and Alex Gold of the Brookings Institution concluded, “Despite the fact that new stadiums are thought to boost local economic growth and job creation, these benefits are often overstated. Academic studies typically find no discernible positive relationship between sports facility construction and economic development. Most evidence suggests sports subsidies cannot be justified on the grounds of local economic development, income growth, or job creation.” " (Atlantic, 2015)

If you are looking for other genre books set in Cincinnati, these are a few I'm familiar with.

Have you read Mosaic 17K? It's a cyberpunk book based in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati. Really captures the area IMO. Good stuff.

Also Queen City Jazz, which doesn't really fit comfortably in a genre. Not really my cup of tea, but might be worth the read. Very surreal. Has kind of a 1970s sci-fi vibe to it.

And the Kim Harrison Hollows novels, which are urban fantasy. IMO, she didn't capture the area at all well. It came across as super generic midwest large city. And she described the town I live in all wrong, not even a little bit right. Possibly the most well known series of books set in the area.

There is a radio dramatization of the book out there... it was pretty good.

I'd suggest looking for the book 60 Hikes within 60 Miles.

Here's an Amazon link.

I've lived here my whole life and I've never heard of a lot of the places suggested in it. I'd have to agree with Prather, though, that if you have the time, Red River Gorge is definitely the place nearby to see.

I have this one - "Cincinnati - A Pictorial History" by Marilyn Green & Michael Bennett https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0898654777/ref=la_B001KMM0P0_1_1_olp?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1484766334&sr=1-1

It seems to be out of print, but there are used options (for cheap) on the above website. The book is 244 pages, many photos per/page throughout, depicting scenes and history from 1788 to about 1985, with stories and photos. Don't know if you can get it for Saturday, but it's a very nice coffee table sized book either way. Publisher was The Donning Company 1986 - ISBN 0-89865-477-7

[This book] (http://www.amazon.com/Hoops-Nation-Americas-Pickup-Basketball/dp/0803262353) only mentions place in the area - the Oakley Playground in Hyde Park (corner of Paxton and Taylor).

Granted the book is ten years old and traveling basketball players could not possibly hit every court in the area, but thought it was worth a mention.

You won't regret reading The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.

Not sure about in-person lessons but if you strike out, check out this course. This vocal teacher has taught some top metal vocalists.

The recent heroin problem was brought on by a more specific set of circumstances. The book "Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic" explores the situation in depth. Basically it started with heavy marketing and over-prescription of Oxycontin in the '90s, followed by the arrival of cheap black tar heroin from Mexico. The author, Sam Quinones, has given talks all around the country, including recently at NKU. He also did an extensive interview on Mark Maron's WTF podcast a while back. Well worth the listen if you are interested in the topic.

Not exactly in Cincinnati but I’d strongly recommend the following book for more details around the event:
'The Beverly Hills Supper Club: The Untold Story of Ky's Worst Tragedy https://www.amazon.com/dp/1533121575/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_vOO0BbSZARSHC
