Well done. Short and to the point.

The author gives a lot of information in a short period of time. Seemingly everything you need to know to plan, set up, produce and sell.

Best and most engaging book on math I've read

Revisado: 02-17-24

Stipp does a great job of explaining the background and relationship between five of the most interesting numbers in math (i, pi, e, 0 and 1). He doesn't overdo the biography of Euler, but sketches a very happy genius all the same. Highly recommended.

Excellent

Revisado: 07-01-23

This is a great book, full of real hard won wisdom. I have spent 30 years in manufacturing, and I was impressed at the clear and practical approaches and techniques that are described. Salatin presents deep expertise across multiple dimensions of farming. Importantly, he maintains a persistent focus on being profitable, prioritizing marketing and cost control. The "synergies" of organic diversity in his approach make all the difference. He is also deeply philosophical about farming, and advocates for the life blessings of this challenging field. I appreciated that he is realistic about the commitment necessary to be successful.

Amazed that I could follow

Revisado: 02-23-21

This book is hard to follow in audible form, as the steps in the development of Riemann's work are articulated in actual formulas. And the formulas are not simple. At the same time, you can understand the progression of mapping a sphere onto a plane, and then mapping any complex surface onto a plane as well as how to analyze surfaces with 4+ dimensions.. This is a crucial step from map-making to Einstein's relativity and gravitational waves. Not for the faint of heart - but you can actually understand the progression. I will need to buy the paper version to review the calculations.

Worthwhile.

Revisado: 02-04-21

Most books I've read on US/China relations are firmly from the US point of view. Mahbubani offers a balanced analysis, with description and critique of both US and China policy. But the real value is in the author's clear understanding of the Chinese (or CCP) perspective and tone. Some reviewers call this Chinese propaganda, but I think Mahbubani has grasped and faithfully recounts China's positions and postures across a broad range of flashpoints. Not that I agree with China's positions. In the West the idea that China would rise to parity and perhaps supremacy is viewed with alarm. Mahbubani presents the very plausible case that, to the Chinese, such a rise would be natural and appropriate. Recommended.

Great narration. A compelling slice of Chekhov

Some of these stories are very short, but all create vivid scenes of turn of the century Russia.

An amazing and compelling story. Precise but accessible and fascinating. Quantum physics really is beyond weird!

Compelling, well-argued and alarming

Revisado: 12-12-16

Rickards provides a well researched framework that raises serious questions about global financial stability, as well as the ability of policy elites to recognize and deal with the troubling dynamic. His analysis fits well with the turbulence that we observe in today's world and gives grave warnings that the pressures are building - not receding. He provides a wealth of facts as well as longer term historical context. His assessment is dire, but enormously compelling. This book should not be missed.
