When it comes to parenting, more isn't always better - but it is always more tiring. Over the course of nearly 50 years, Robert and Sarah LeVine have conducted a groundbreaking, worldwide study of how families work. They have consistently found that children can be happy and healthy in a wide variety of conditions, not just the effort-intensive, cautious environment so many American parents drive themselves crazy trying to create. Do Parents Matter? is an eye-opening look at the world of human nurture, one with profound lessons for the way we think about our families.

I keep recommending this
Revisado: 12-18-20
I found this to be a fantastic read/listen - great enough that I find myself bringing up fun passages in conversation and recommending it left and right to both parents and non-parents.
It's not that this is a masterpiece, but it works well and gives a rare perspective on parenting across different cultures. It should also be remarked that this is not a guide to good parenting or a deep examination of individual cultures, but rather an investigation into the diversity of cultural practices and the history of why we think about parenting the way we do in the west.
The narrator also does a great job. Popular science books are not quite pageturners, but the narrator keeps you invested and paces it well.

Sancia Grado is a thief, and a damn good one. And her latest target, a heavily guarded warehouse on Tevanne’s docks, is nothing her unique abilities can’t handle. But unbeknownst to her, Sancia’s been sent to steal an artifact of unimaginable power, an object that could revolutionize the magical technology known as scriving. The Merchant Houses who control this magic - the art of using coded commands to imbue everyday objects with sentience - have already used it to transform Tevanne into a vast, remorseless capitalist machine.

Disappointing but with potential
Revisado: 06-15-19
I remember being impressed by City of Stairs by RJB despite its pulpier moments, but this book did not hit the same high notes.
The magic system is interesting and used to good effect, but the worldbuilding itself is a bit flat and unevocative. The characters have personality, but are not fully rounded. The plot had some twists and turns, but they were often telegraphed by some slightly heavy-handed exposition.
It is not a bad book, and the ending left me intrigued about the sequel, but it still left me a bit disappointed, although I can't deny that I was entertained through out.
