Book List: Readings for Decision Makers The people who were at Decision Makers 2010 are not just doers and achievers, they're insatiably curious explorers of the world around them. They're also voracious readers, as informal conversations throughout the conference demonstrated. Here are a few of the titles that they recommend on the conference's topics. Several of them are also authors of note, and a selection of their titles appears below.  David Brin, Moria Gunn, Christof Erhart.
