"The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham.  He is the "dean" of value investing and is an excellent primer on investment and the stock market.  Here's a link for your pleasure.  Good luck...

The classic work on fundamental analysis is the book "Security Analysis" by Graham and Dodd.  It was first published in 1932 and was then updated in the late 1940's and in the early 1960's.  It is still considered the classic and best work on the subject; but it is somewhat out of line with current thinking on valuation of companies.  Not that current thinking is proven to be accurate but nevertheless it has changed.  However, such people as Warren Buffet follow the priciples described in this work.

One book to watch out for is Chris Anderson's "The Long Tail"  http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1401302378/powerhomebizguid - I got an advance copy of the book and I find it be very good. Amazon is not saying when the book is going to be released\n\nIf you are a manager in an organization, a book I recommend is "Revved! : An Incredible Way to Rev Up Your Workplace and Achieve Amazing Results" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0071465006/powerhomebizguid  by Harry Paul and Ross Reck. It is a book that can help you inspire others to work better. You can read a summary of the book here http://www.powerhomebiz.com/books/revved.htm\n\nIn personal finance, a new book I like is "Green With Envy: Why Keeping up with the Joneses is Keeping Us in Debt" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0446578355/powerhomebizguid  If you are wondering how your neighbor could afford the brand new Escalade and the million-dollar home, this is a book you'd want to read.\n\nA book that was very useful for me in terms of my dealings with small business entrepreneurs is Jaynie Smith's "Creating Competitive Advantage: Give Customers a Reason to Choose You Over Your Competitors" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0385517092/powerhomebizguid . If you are running a business and you'd want to know what your edge should be, then you have to read this book. You can read a summary of the book here  http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/deliver.htm

I highly recommend Jim Cramer's book called Real Money - Sane Investing in an Insane World. It's written so that anyone can understand it. The knowledge in there is worth way more than the $15 it costed me on Amazon.

Wharton of Penn. It has best Finance for undergraduate, and is commonly regarded as the best in the world for MBA. Though, if you go to any top 14 Business School, you'll probably be making a lot regardless.

Depends what it is your looking for exactly. I always found "Building Construction Handbook" by Roger Greeno very handy when doing my construction course. Another is the "Mitchells" series of books such as "structure and fabric" 1& 2 as well as the "introduction to building construction". all of these books contain detailed explanations and diagrams which are very heplful for reports etc.

Books  are  way  long  and  usually  out  of  date,  \nI  recommend  the  Yahoo  Finance education  101 (scroll down  on  the  left)\n\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/education/begin_investing\n\nthen  the  Motley  Fool  has  some interesting takes  on  things  and  there  are  several  columnists  whose  columns  are  good\n\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/columnist/allbios\n\nhttp://www.fool.com/index.htm?ref=topnav

I can't recommend a book but FOREX.COM is an excellent place to start.  Just subscribe to their mailing list and pick out the news you might want to read.\n\nBe warned though, it's not as easy as you think and if you want to make money off of it, you need professional tutoring.
