Best of the Decade... So Far

Yes, you'll find The World Is Flat there, along with dozens more of our editors' picks and customers' favorites since 2000, including list-toppers like Life of Pi and Random Family.

Editors' Picks: Health, Mind & Body
Dr. Christiane Northrup's Mother-Daughter Wisdom blends expert clinical research with personal stories to illuminate one of the central relationships in human life.

Editors' Picks: Top 50 Books of 2005
After a year of blockbuster books on politics and current events in 2004, 2005 turned out--for us at least--to be a year of great memoirs, none more so than the top choice on our list of the 50 best books of 2005: Joan Didion's witheringly exact story of a daughter's illness, a husband's sudden death, and a wife and mother's bewildering grief, The Year of Magical Thinking. Browse further in our list of the year's best, on which Didion is followed by these favorites:

Customers' Favorites: Top 50 Bestsellers of 2005
What were our bestselling books of 2005? Three guesses--and the first two don't count--for the book at the top of the list: the penultimate volume in J.K. Rowling's phenomenal series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, in which Rowling's amazing imagination once again met almost unimaginable expectations. The rest of the year's bestsellers included both the familiar and the unexpected, including contrarian social science from Malcolm Gladwell, a debut Dracula epic, a Princeton professor's little essay on a well-known barnyard epithet, and these books, which follow Harry Potter at the top of the list:

Editors' Picks: Current Events
Events don't get much current than the ones Thomas L. Friedman describes in The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the 21st Century, his eye-opening and charmingly breathless account of globalization's recent acceleration. The World Is Flat joins on-the-ground dispatches from the Iraq War, India, and Burma and from the front lines of electronic privacy and female raunch culture on our top 10 books of the year in Current Events.
