Nantucket Project Books 2012

The Nantucket Project  gathers eminent speakers and attendees each fall in a cross-disciplinary way to encourage cutting edge thinking. 

Not every presenter has published a book, but we gathered the latest books written by those who have. There are fascinating thoughts in these pages.

Notably, Tom Scott made the point in his closing remarks that we all think we have an open mind, but in many ways we are lying to ourselves. A close reading and understanding of disparate points of view is the way to further our education rather than reinforcing already held beliefs. 

Proceeds from Carly's Voice will benefit Autism Speaks, and proceeds from all other titles on this list will help create Nantucket's first chapter of Room to Read.

Book list is in alphabetical order by title.
