The audio book is weak
Revisado: 02-04-25
Without Sagan and the TV series presentation, the book is weak. Ann is a negative. Narrator is good.

Historia
Since the beginning of human history Mars has been an alluring dream - the stuff of legends, gods, and mystery. The planet most like ours, it has still been thought impossible to reach, let alone explore and inhabit. Now with the advent of a revolutionary new plan, all this has changed. Leading space exploration authority Robert Zubrin has crafted a daring new blueprint, Mars Direct, presented here with engaging anecdotes. The Case for Mars is not a vision for the far future or one that will cost us impossible billions.

Historia
An exhilarating tour of the contemporary quantum landscape, Beyond Weird is a book about what quantum physics really means - and what it doesn't. Science writer Philip Ball offers an up-to-date, accessible account of the quest to come to grips with the most fundamental theory of physical reality, and to explain how its counterintuitive principles underpin the world we experience.

The narrator's breathing noises were very distracting to me. I loved the information as written.

Historia
Eight-year-old orphan Beth Harmon is quiet, sullen, and by all appearances unremarkable. That is, until she plays her first game of chess. Her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for the first time in her life she feels herself fully in control. By the age of 16, she's competing for the US Open championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more tempting.

Historia
The runaway success of the microchip may finally be reaching its end. As shrinking transistors approach the size of atoms, the phenomenal growth of computational power inevitably collapses. But this change heralds the birth of a revolutionary new type of computer, one that calculates on atoms themselves. Quantum computers promise unprecedented gains in computing power, enabling advancements that could overturn every aspect of our daily lives.

Amazing Quantum Computing Applications
Revisado: 05-08-23
My favorite Michio Kaku Audible book. I love the background and foundation he presents to Quantum Computers. And delivers many astonishing real applications that quantum computing will make possible. All this is starting to happen now. Great narration!

Not a science Book!!!!
Revisado: 01-11-23
So, Robert Lanza wrote a book called "Observer." I see it and spend a credit. I assumed it followed more biocentrism/role of the observer. NO, IT IS A class "B" novel. And I can't return it. Deceived!!! Well, Dr. Lanza gave up on biocentrism. And String theory is still stuck in 10 dimensions. Sorry, Nancy Kress got linked to this fraud.

Historia
What happens when something is sucked into a black hole? Does it disappear? Three decades ago, a young physicist named Stephen Hawking claimed that it did - and in doing so, put at risk everything we know about the fundamental laws of the universe. Leonard Susskind and Gerard 't Hooft realized the threat and responded with a counterattack that changed the course of physics.

Sagan's Case Against The Christian God
Revisado: 09-29-21
Carl Sagan's Cosmos TV seriers was wonderful. Here Sagan wants to presents his atheist case against the Christian God. He is loose with the facts: Yes there are two different geneplogies. Matthew's is Joseph's and Luke's is Mary's. His atheists passion severely distracts from the wonderful story.

Our understanding of cancer is slowly undergoing a revolution, allowing for the development of more effective treatments. For the first time ever, the death rate from cancer is showing a steady decline...but the “War on Cancer” has hardly been won. In The Cancer Code, Dr. Jason Fung offers a revolutionary new understanding of this invasive, often fatal disease - what it is, how it manifests, and why it is so challenging to treat.

No More Sugar and Processed Carbs
Revisado: 08-24-21
Let me just quote a passage that show the level of this book:
"Specifically, long-term metformin use in women with type 2 diabetes was associated with a more than 50 percent reduction in breast cancer risk.30 Metformin works by reducing glucose to the growing cancer without the pro-growth effects of the insulin/IGF-1/PI3K pathway. It also activates AMPK, an important nutrient sensor and growth pathway, which rapidly inhibits cellular protein synthesis and growth."
I have read all of Dr.Fung' books. I watch his videos and interviews. As a science person I am always skeptical. in five years (2016-2021) I have nothing to make me doubt him. He is "popular" but never "info-mercial." He does use testimonials. they are not important to me. My personal experience is: A1C 8.7 to 5.9, lost 40 lbs at a rate of 1.7lbs/week in about 24 weeks. That was 3 years ago. Average over that time: about -30 lbs A1C 6.8. so no meds yet. Metformin looks like a great medicine. So, I am no longer afraid of it.
