I am one of 237 authors who contributed to the book ‘Age of Conversation 2‘. For the first 237 days of 2009, I’ll be highlighting a phrase from one of my co-authors, briefly discussing their contribution, and linking you to their blog or online presence. I’m sure you’ll find these excerpts reason enough to add the full publication to your bookshelf - and all proceeds go to charity.
