My husband and I have often talked about the lack of personal financial information being taught - seems like those could be pulled together into a curriculum for a high-school math class. Toss in 'organization' from the practical category too.

Sad also Daily Good editors did not catch this and choose another author for their offering to us.

Why must we strive to have all groups represented when we put together a list such as this? This same question was posed a few years ago to someone compiling the top 10 composers of classical music. Can we really put together a list of the "best of" something, yet have a criteria that the list must have *a minority, a female, a gay, a hispanic*? And then we question and scrutinize that list, judging who the authors are, rather than looking at the content of the books. If we step away from this type of thinking, its really a sad commentary on how our society looks at things. The DG editors don't need to "catch this". It's like they're treating this as a Quality Control issue, that they need to catch before it gets published. If they are going to make sure all groups are represented in this list, then maybe they ought to title the list with something that qualifies the list as being equally representative of all. Thanks.
