BOOK WORLD - February 6, 2011

Not quite a top 10 this week, alas, but here's what's selling well nevertheless ...

New debuts are George Friedman (he's the founder and CEO of the firm Stratfor, which complies and publishes geopolitical data) and his new book that looks ahead -- politically, socially, economically -- at the next ten years ... and McGregor's take on the very, well, cliquish Communist politicos in China and their grip on power.
