Fascinating
Revisado: 06-08-17
If you're interested in health and nutrition and the health of our planet, this book is an illuminating must-read. Scientific and yet simple, this book does a wonderful job of explaining the total interconnectedness of all living organisms in detail, and showcases ecological thinking at its best. You will never see your human body with the same eyes again, nor probably any other living system.

This audiobook is the personal memoir of an urban couple's journey to farming rather than a how-to guide and is sure to delight those interested in moving to the country or simply learning more about the struggles of sustainable farming. When Tim and Liz Young decided to leave their comfortable suburban life and become first-time farmers in rural Georgia, they embarked on a journey that would change their lives.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 82
Kavin reveals how dog merchants create markets for dogs, often in defiance of the usual rules of supply and demand. She takes an investigative approach and meets breeders and rescuers at all levels, shedding much-needed light on an industry that most people don't even realize is an industry. Kavin's goal is to advance the conversation about how all dogs are treated, from puppy mills to high-kill shelters. She shows that a great deal can be improved by understanding the business practices behind selling dogs of all kinds.

Thorough investigation and delightful presentation
Revisado: 07-26-16
Everyone thinking of bringing a dog into their lives should read (or listen) this book first. It completely flipped the way I think about dog rescue. The author is absolutely not against breeders per se. No matter how you're planning on acquiring your dog, the information presented in this book will prove invaluable in helping you make the choice that's best for you and for the dogs as well.

A masterful synchronization of history and cutting-edge science shines new light on humanity's darkest diagnosis. In the wake of the Cancer Genome Atlas project's failure to provide a legible road map to a cure for cancer, science writer Travis Christofferson illuminates a promising blend of old and new perspectives on the disease.

Moving forward towards a cure for cancer
Revisado: 04-25-16
This book is a true gem, a must read for anyone interested in health topics as well as in scientific paradigm shifts. One of those you want to keep in your permanent collection. Very scientific and well reasoned yet accessible for the general public and enjoyable to read or listen thanks to the author's wonderful narrative skills. If you want to understand cancer, the medical and pharmaceutical apparatus behind it and the political forces that keep us from making progress, you will very much appreciate this book. If you or a loved one have been diagnosed or are battling cancer, this book will offer hope and provide valuable information to guide you in making the decisions that are best for you.
The audio book was very pleasing. I will probably be getting the print copy as well.
