[close] Books mentioned on NPR's new TED Radio Hour

[close] This is the home of the TEDxSheffield reading circle, a group of people brought together by the annual TEDxSheffield event to read one book each month, chat about them online here in this group, and meet up to discuss them face to face. The books will be non-fiction, intelligent, ground-breaking in the sense of shedding new and important light on a topic, and disciplinarily eclectic, just like the TED conference series itself. The books won't nessesarily be written by TED speakers, but writing a ground-breaking book is usually a good way to be invited to speak at TED, so many undoubtedly will be. The group is run by TEDxSheffield co-producer Chris Dymond, and the buck stops with him. This is not a democracy. He will entertain any book suggestions members have, but, just like the event itself, he decides what flies and what dies :) The group is open to anyone interested, and members are welcome to participate solely online or solely offline if they wish.

[close] This is a resource that features links to books by TEDx speakers all around the world, along with books recommended by TEDx organisers. The purpose of the group is to popularise books worth reading. IMPORTANT: As you add your books, create a new Bookshelf for your TEDx event.
