Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 114
On a chilly November afternoon in 1998, a tearful 36-year-old man walked into the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department in Eureka, California, and confessed to something horrible. "I hurt some people," he said. Inside his pocket was the ghastly proof of his statement. But there was more to Wayne Adam Ford than the trail of mangled victims he left behind. More, even, than the twisted predator inside, which drove him to increasingly perverse sexual appetites.

An invasion of privacy
Revisado: 02-25-25
I bagan to feel traumatized myself. This account went beyond my general interest in learning about the criminality of human beings around me. By listening to this account, I realized I was invading the privacy of the women involved. I have no legitimate reason to have access to such close personal detail. I turned it off. My deep condolences to those involved in this who have been harmed.

Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 150
We know that plants are important. They maintain the atmosphere by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. They nourish other living organisms and supply psychological benefits to humans as well, improving our moods and beautifying the landscape around us. But plants don’t just passively provide. They also take action. Beronda L. Montgomery explores the vigorous, creative lives of organisms often treated as static and predictable.

for natural leaders
Revisado: 04-16-22
Let's say you receive this little book somehow by some algorithms of fate or by the grace of god. Then let's say, you are a leader-type, also you are a person with social conscience, and also you truly get that you are a part of a natural world . . . you might suddenly respond, as I did, to Beronda L. Montgomery calling your name. Your ears will perk up, then you will start to hear these plant lessons and take them to heart. All of a sudden, you are enlightened, reminded and encouraged at the speed of neurons connecting . . . and suddenly you see a good way to move forward. I don't know how to say it in any other way -- this message about leadership is profound.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 196
The story of humankind is usually told as one of technological innovation and economic influence—of arrowheads and atomic bombs, settlers and stock markets. But behind it all, there is an even more fundamental driver: Food. In Animal, Vegetable, Junk, trusted food authority Mark Bittman offers a panoramic view of how the frenzy for food has driven human history to some of its most catastrophic moments.

Bittman fails my Litmus test!
Revisado: 02-18-21
I have developed a very simple litmus test for those claiming sufficient knowledge to be called a food or food industry expert and this author fails it. The test: Do they understand olive oil for what it is? Standing alone it is unhealthy and a significant indicator of food industry's misdirection and greed, so the give-away is Bittman's care in qualifying his every reference to fat additives in the category-- Junk. My WFPB community will understand!

vicarious adventures
Revisado: 09-29-08
This reading started to affect me the minute the White Mary plunged her foot into the wet New Guinea jungle and discovered the first leech. This is a trek the author herself survived and also wrote about in Four Corners, a nonfiction which I will definitely read asap. The relationships of the white woman to the New Guinea tribal people was fascinating: uncomfortable, frustrating, and scary...as were her love relationships. The insights of the main character are lingering and relevant to me even though I haven't experienced anything like this in my life or my reading. Now I have experienced remote New Guinea on foot and the cost of being a fearless modern journalist vicariously through this adventurous book. I read many to find one book that affects me like this.

Dexter Morgan appears to be the perfect gentleman. He is handsome and polite, and has been in a relationship for nearly a year and a half. Yet appearances can be deceiving, for Dexter is a serial killer who has slain many people. But in this tale, he's the good guy, for there is one little twist: Dexter only snuffs out other murderers. When another serial killer, with an eerily similar style, starts grabbing headlines, Dexter has a fairly morbid thought. Am I being challenged?

Jauntily Judging Jeff
Revisado: 11-06-05
This reading was greatly entertaining to me. I loved Dexter: he's like a computer portrait mating between Jimmy Stewart in It's A Wonderful Life and Hannibal Lector; definitely a "third thing"(better than the sum of its parts). I hope the author does not formulate an obvious series, if it means he'll have no time left to create other great pieces.
