Robert G. Hagstrom is one of the best-known authors of investment books for general audiences. Turning his extensive experience as a portfolio manager at Legg Mason Capital Management into valuable guidance for professionals and nonprofessionals alike, he is the author of six successful books on investment, including The Warren Buffett Way, a New York Times best-seller that has sold more than a million copies.

In this updated second edition of Investing: The Last Liberal Art, Hagstrom explores basic and fundamental investing concepts in a range of fields outside of economics, including physics, biology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, and literature. He discusses, for instance, how the theory of evolution disrupts the notion of the efficient market and how reading strategies for literature can be gainfully applied to investing research. Building on Charlie Munger's famous "latticework of mental models" concept, Hagstrom argues that it is impossible to make good investment decisions based solely on a strong knowledge of finance theory alone. He reinforces his concepts with additional data and a new chapter on mathematics, and updates his text throughout to reflect the developments of the past decade, particularly the seismic economic upheaval of 2008. He has also added a hundred new titles to the invaluable reading list concluding the book.

Praise for the first edition:

"I read this book in one sitting: I could not put it down."--Peter L. Bernstein, author of Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk

"Elegant and irresistible. Robert G. Hagstrom makes the complex clear as he confidently crisscrosses through the disciplines of finance, biology, physics, and literature. The only way to understand investing better, Investing] shows, is to understand the world better. Ideas spark off the page at every turn. This is simply a gem of a book."--James Surowiecki, New Yorker

"Investing is a brisk and engaging read, and it is a pleasure to be in the presence of Hagstrom's agile mind."--International Herald Tribune

Terrible scents
Style: 6 Piece Discovery Set 2
If you want to smell like an old lady, this is the perfume set for you. The only semi okay scent is Santal, all the rest are unwearable and smell terrible.

Nothing Great & Not Long Lasting
Style: 6 Piece Discovery Set 2, Style: 6 Piece Discovery Set 2
Ordered this sample set to see which scent I liked best before committing to a whole bottle. Honestly none of them were a favorite or a scent I would want a whole bottle of. I liked the 11 11 out of all of them. The Midnight was the worst and I felt like it didn't fit the rest of the scents, it was very strong. I also wouldn't order any of these because the scent is not long lasting, or atleast it isn't on me.

Belgian Malinois approved
Size: Large
This ball was the perfect choice for my 8 month old Belgian Malinois. Should last for years so far it has survived all her chewing needs. It’s the perfect size so I don’t have to worry about her swallowing it.

Good chew toy for an aggressive chewing dog
Size: Large
Well built for an aggressive chewing dog. I wouldn't say indescribable but it has lasted longer than all other chew toys he's had.
