Long winded word salad

Revisado: 12-22-24

Who is this book for? Wrapped in a word salad of over complicated terminology and convolved syntax, this book contains nuggets of novelty but a little of substance. If the aim is to educate and reach out to those who do not already care this topic, then the book is an utter failure. If this book is intended titillate, the intellect of the already convinced, it’s about as useful as an extra helping of pie after Christmas dinner. This book discusses one of the most important issues facing mankind today. It is important. It needs to reach out to those who do not understand and especially those who remain ignorant, but can still make a difference. Wrapped in soporific, mono-tonal delivery (in audiobook format) this book misses the mark completely. I wish it were different. It should have been different from an author of this caliber and deserved reputation.

A good yarn.

This was a rewarding book, not fast paced but thoughtful and considered with interesting character development

This is by far the worst

Revisado: 08-05-23

I have over 150 audiobooks. Many of these are on science with good number on physics. I have a reasonable grasp of general physics having studied and taught geophysics at university for many years and a keen general interest in astrophysics. This book is among the most boring and impenetrable of them all. It’s not that the content is inherently boring Physics is fascinating and accessible to the educated reader… what spoils this narrative is it’s unsuitability for audiobook format. This becomes quickly apparent to the listener and rapidly strips further enjoyment. It becomes tedious and boring. This is a fascinating subject and I would recommend anyone interested to buy the physical book- although to be honest, the content is now somewhat out of date, so I would more likely find for a more recent publication on the subject by the same author.

Excellent narrative

Revisado: 02-24-23

Well performed, expertly researched book that is written in an engaging style which invites the reader/listener to both imagine and engage in the lives of the Plantagenet Kings.

Old favorites

With the Storm Force Series you know what to expect and this one delivers in full measure.

Imposition!

Revisado: 07-09-21

I do not want these and now want an easy way to delete all existing entries and stop further additions. I should have full control over my library and and a simple Internet search shows how many customers have had this same problem for a long time.

Should never be an audio book

Revisado: 05-22-20

This lightening whizz through the Triassic has nothing going for it pedagogically. Without illustration it becomes a catalog of often mispronounced Latin names that is dry and uninformative. Many of the views and theories are out dated and hint of bias against the view that carbon dioxide can become damaging to the environment. The section on ocean acidification is particularly ill informed, minimizing the possible impact of ocean acidification because CO2 levels in the past were higher and marine life survived. This displays a disappointing grasp of the underlying science. In summary: outdated, dull and boring. You can do better.
