Fun read.

This would be a good foundation for a video game. It's a light relaxing escape that reads like a role playing game with quests for credits and experience and a tech tree with upgrades.

An enjoyable easy listen

Nice and accessible for the none scientist. It goes into astronomy history and political and bureaucratic history that brought JWST about. It has several stories of individuals and their efforts that personalize the book.

In my ongoing struggle to gain financial independence from nothing Dr Stanley's books always leave me with the feeling that I will some day succeed.

Very interesting for the non scientist.

Revisado: 12-20-21

This book was easy to listen to and understand. It's not overly technical. It would be a good book for a child interested in dinosaurs or a non scientist adult like myself. It is obvious that it was carefully written for the public. Thank you to the people who put in the effort on this fine piece of educational material.

An interesting take on historical events.

Revisado: 09-10-21

Gladwell really lost some credibility with me on two technical points with which I am familiar. The biggest one was when he said that airplanes needed a strong tail wind to push them into the air. Airplanes takeoff into the wind. It's airspeed not ground speed that matters. This shows that he knows facts but doesn't actually understand the first thing about what he is talking about when it comes to aviation. Second was when he talked about the jet stream. Most of what he said was factually correct. Except that the jet stream was known and it was known several years before and by Americans. Wiley Post knew about the jet stream and used it to fly around the northern hemisphere. Everyone at the top of aviation knew at least something about high altitude winds and that post flew high and went east trying to catch those winds. It wasn't understood how wide the jet stream was or how it moved and bent. These things make me doubt the credibility of the other facts and research in the book. But it's not a technical book about flying. It's about psychology and morality. Trying to get inside the heads of people who are long dead and make judgments about their morality through a 21st century lens is a bit of a stretch at some points in this book. Overall it is still a good read about important events in history and addresses questions about war that were new in WWII and are still with us today.

Driving a car is not an automatic activity that a person can do while concentrating on something else. Doing that could get you or other innocent people killed or maimed. Throwing away your children's toys while they are away to avoid drama as this book says to do is a serious boundary violation and could turn them into hoarders or worse. This book has time honored time management ideas that can be gotten from better sources mixed in with really bad advice. Saying that this book is not worth the time to read is too nice. Following the ideas in this book could do harm to you those around you.
