Mark Scofield

Two Agendas

Revisado: 03-21-24

I always find it difficult to comprehend this topic. I am fascinated by it. I have several books on the subject in my library. I glean what my intelligence allows and over many readings, I feel I can understand some of the concepts. I have read about disagreements and bitter conflicts between scientists. I understand many women and minorities have been and are currently being short changed in history by their status in our population. I cheer for them. But one doesn't need to be in a particular group to have been forgotten when credit is handed around. There are personalities in every field who are loathe to share glory. I failed to finish the book. The author's theme of repeatedly injecting the unfairness of the world into her thesis became boring. I have no argument against the use of CRT. It is important that the ill-informed catch a clue of society's meanness. The reader is a good reader. But her lack of experience in correlating written words to pronunciation also got boring. I spotted it because I too am a reader who has been corrected. All of the above makes my understanding of the subject even more difficult. I think the book is boring, with too many distractions and confusing.

Nice wrap!

This completion marks three readings of parts 1 and 2, and the 2nd of part 3. I loved figuring out details given but missed during early visits. Fun story!

Nice intermediary.

3rd listen, after hearing the 3rd book. I intend to hear the the 3rd book my 2nd time right now. I am picking up details pertinent to the story but glossed over(by my brain) during my early experiences. I am enjoying this story and wait to see how it unfolds with my current experience in play.

Great Story and Story-Telling

Revisado: 05-28-21

This has been my third listen of the first book. I'm about to begin my third listen of the 2nd. After, I'll listen to the 3rd book a second time. It hasn't gotten old. I still hear pieces of the puzzle fitting together.

Clinical

Revisado: 05-26-21

I love the concept of exploring human development in the presence of natural and synthetic drugs but the narrator's delivery sounds like he is defending his thesis. There is no attribute of 'story'. After losing my place several times in the first 15 minutes, I decided to end the suffering.

Couldn't finish.

Revisado: 04-29-20

I have a sense for characters who walk, open-eyed into trouble, saying, "Oh-Oh" all the way. Then proceeding. Contrived drama pisses me off. I know the story will likely end happily ever after but I can't wade through this anymore.

Poor narration. Hard to find thread of the story.

Revisado: 04-27-20

Struggled. The narrator tended to drone. She sometimes mispronounced words and had an odd cadence in her reading. It was if she hadn't read the story well enough to know it.

Amusing anecdotes.

Revisado: 01-11-20

I'm no physicist. Nor am I a mystic. I understand the basics in both fields and hoped to find the commonalities as advertised in the summary. What I found we're introductory inaccuracies and a collection of quotations by known famous intellects that appear to justify the position of this book. I was immediately bored by the narrator's droning and lost the thread of the story several times before giving up. I see this book bolstering the sensibilities of those ignorant of history and science, being faithful only to their established beliefs. Find a new narrator and I might give it another shot.

Great analysis of our prospective future.

Listening felt a lot like hearing stories of the Holocaust. I believe what I hear and it fills me with dismay. So I can't bear it. I didn't finish because of it. Also, I feel as though Bill is only preaching to the choir. Those who are deny our climate change aren't likely to listen or learn. #45's rise to power has taught us that much.

Informative and fascinating

I learned very much about the Ford family, the war effort and what it took to perform a miracle in production.
