Every one of us contains a billion times more atoms than all the grains of sand in the earth’s deserts. If you weigh 150 pounds, you’ve got enough carbon to make 25 pounds of charcoal, enough salt to fill a saltshaker, enough chlorine to disinfect several backyard swimming pools, and enough iron to forge a 3-inch nail. But how did these elements combine to make us human?

Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of carrying only opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - what percentage of the world's population live in poverty; why the world's population is increasing; how many girls finish school - we systematically get the answers wrong. In Factfulness, professor of international health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two longtime collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens.

Bill Gates shares what he's learned in more than a decade of studying climate change and investing in innovations to address the problems, and sets out a vision for how the world can build the tools it needs to get to zero greenhouse gas emissions. Bill Gates explains why he cares so deeply about climate change and what makes him optimistic that the world can avoid the most dire effects of the climate crisis. Gates says, "We can work on a local, national, and global level to build the technologies, businesses, and industries to avoid the worst impacts of climate change."

A Blueprint to a Survivable Future Climate
Revisado: 04-09-21
This book is a great guideline to how we can we can achieve a climate future where we and other species of the world can live. It offers tangible things we all can do to meet those goals. I am proud to say I have done personally done many of these things, but we all need to, and we need to urge our leaders in government to as well. Everyone should read or listen to this book if we are to survive.

Where did I come from? Why do I have two arms but just one head? How is my left leg the same size as my right one? Why are the fingerprints of identical twins not identical? How did my brain learn to learn? Why must I die? Questions like these remain biology's deepest and most ancient challenges. They force us to confront a fundamental biological problem: How can something as large and complex as a human body organize itself from the simplicity of a fertilized egg?

In Arrival of the Fittest, renowned evolutionary biologist Andreas Wagner draws on over 15 years of research to present the missing piece in Darwin's theory. Using experimental and computational technologies that were heretofore unimagined, he has found that adaptations are not just driven by chance, but by a set of laws that allow nature to discover new molecules and mechanisms in a fraction of the time that random variation would take.

Life as a chemical evolution

This book gives a different approach to evolution. It describes how the chemicals of life changed through time. I especially like when he compared today's world of human innoviation to life's innovations

Revisado: 02-23-15
A great book on how to live your life. Practical advice on how to create a winning team a the life of a winner. The secret on how the Seahawks are a winner and evidence to expect.a lot in the future.
I really enjoyed this especially because we see how this philosophy is executed with the Seattle Seahawks every day. His two Super Bowl appearances prove it works.

In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. Now, in The Audacity of Hope, Senator Obama calls for a different brand of politics: a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the "endless clash of armies" we see in Congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of "our improbable experiment in democracy".

Revisado: 09-12-09
Listen to Barack Obama develop his vision for American in this book. This book is the foundation of his ideas which will now become America's future. I believe this book built the support that was the foundation of his victory.
Listen to the president talk about his vision for America. Already many parts are coming true.
