Stories Techies Share

Revisado: 01-04-18

I enjoyed listening to these tales of the technical adventures of scientist and engineers. ATOMIC ADVENTURES is a well written collection of often interconnect tales of adventures an active technically oriented individual might have had it had good second-hand access too. I wonder how wide the appeal of this type of storytelling goes over with the telephonic American public.

Foods journey from one-end to the other-end

Revisado: 08-21-17

Would you listen to Gulp again? Why?

Sometime after listening to her book Stiff; Mary Roach's presentations are an appealing blend of facts, science, human-response and humor that kept me listening, thinking and smiling.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The fart pants because of the initial mental image they provoked

Which scene was your favorite?

The man with a hole in his stomach. The doctor who didn't want to heal him and stop his research. And their long history of broken promises

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The fact that dogs have a major difference in food tastes than humans and what the dog-food companies do with this fact. Next time I hear someone tell their dog how good the dog-food tastes, I will be smiling from ear to ear.

Any additional comments?

I plan to watch more closely for results from stool medical exchanges and the government's acknowledgement of this practice for health and well being..

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Mushroom Hunters?

The unquenchable demand for exotic mushrooms by NYC.

I was surprised at the Sierra Clubs opposition to mushroom picking treating it the same as a shrub, tree or an animal.

Revisado: 05-23-17

What disappointed you about The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise?

It seemed like every paragraph spoke of the cruelty of the Muslims.

Nothing by this author. I will be looking for a more balanced treatment that all parties had flaws with good and bad people in their populations.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment so much I stopped halfway though since the mantra continued to be repeated.
