Dear Zanna,
I guess I'm confused.  When Rick talked about LOTM, I thought it was for faculty.  I think "Transitions" and "The Culture of the New Capitalism" are books that anyone can read with profit at any age from Freshman on.  The other two are more for colleagues.

Are these books students would also read? Freshmen?
I think I misunderstood.
