So now you've heard all about me, Alcatraz Smedry, and how I was swept out of my life in your normal world and into the fight against the Librarians (jerks!). After being all heroic and stuff in that tale, I didn’t expect to charge headlong into enemy territory: the Library of Alexandria, where I—and my grandpa and my grouchy bodyguard Bastille and her even grouchier mother and some weirdly gifted cousins—run across the Curators (ghosts who will gladly help you check out a book as long as you don’t mind giving up your mortal soul) and some new nasty Librarians who hate our guts.

As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers.

Spiritual in a deeply grounded way
Revisado: 09-18-23
He most beautiful and poetic piece of prose I’ve ever read. You feel the connection to Mother Earth on a physical and spiritual dimension. You feel the desire to sing and pray with thanks as you hear the gifts of the earth.

John Stuart Mill was the most influential British philosopher of the 19th century. His works spanned a startling variety of topics including logic, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, and social theory. All of Mill's writings were aimed at the support and expansion of philosophical radicalism, and he had a significant influence on social theory, political theory, and political economy.

A classic!
Revisado: 10-12-22
classic book. Mill addresses 150 years ago mang if the criticisms of utilitarian ethic that I still hear today.
this particular audio recording was problematic. About every paragraph there was a mispronounced or misread word.

Why evolution is more than just a theory: it is a fact. In all the current highly publicized debates about creationism and its descendant "intelligent design", there is an element of the controversy that is rarely mentioned: the evidence, the empirical truth of evolution by natural selection.

great science, needs MUCH less bashing!
Revisado: 10-28-20
If he would shut up about religious stuff this may have gotten 5 stars. I get there is a difference, that doesn't bother me ( I'm religious and say 'whatever' if people want to argue, on EITHER side). I love the science, I see it as the physical part of creation, not the spiritual. If he would just say his peace and get on with the good stuff I would have loved it. I just hate going from excited about things we've learned to rolling my eyes every few minutes.
only complaint on the science was referring to dinosaurs that were the ancestors of birds being feathered reptiles, dinosaurs were not reptiles. he knew this based on the rest of what he said, it was just irritating to digress occasionally.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is both a whimsical fantasy and a social satire chock-full of brilliant Twainisms. Hank Morgan, a nineteenth-century American---a Connecticut Yankee---by a stroke of fate is sent back into time to sixth-century England and ends up in Camelot and King Arthur's Court.

great narrator, largely simple story
Revisado: 08-22-18
The narrator was great. The story is mostly simple and plays off of Arthurian legend style of thinking and nothing historical, which kind of is the Arthurian thing to do. There are moments of deeper thought, which are usually end with a comical something, which seems to be characteristic of Twain.

Historical worth
Revisado: 02-06-18
The value is in the historical context of when it is written. As a story, it gets old. There is good that can be pulled from it, but I think there are more modern texts that do so better. The book can help with understanding the thoughts and morals of the time it is written and that is it's real worth.
