One good read, imho, is "Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds", also "Confusion de Confusiones", available online from The Gutenberg Project promo.net Search by title or by author; MacKay, Charles. Watch out, lots of bytes, about 500-600 K for "Memoirs", as I recall. The Gutenberg Project is supported by donation and is worthy of support, imho. The cheque is inna mail -g-
Carl, a while back you posted about an interest in forestry. You might find this useful, I have it book-marked, there are many links off it, and other links off them, I access one website of a very close neighbour (half-mile) through this link which is on a server in Helsinki, ain't the internet amazing; metla.fi
