Historia
The second Dune installment explores new developments on the planet Arrakis, with its intricate social order and strange, threatening environment. Dune Messiah picks up the story of the man known as Muad'Dib, heir to a power unimaginable, bringing to fruition an ambition of unparalleled scale: the centuries-old scheme to create a superbeing who reigns not in the heavens but among men. But the question is: DO all paths of glory lead to the grave?

The perfection of Paul Atriedes. The beginning of the god emperor clean in the desert.

Historia
Half a century after the Doomsday Battle, the uneasy balance of Dark Forest Deterrence keeps the Trisolaran invaders at bay. Earth enjoys unprecedented prosperity due to the infusion of Trisolaran knowledge. With human science advancing daily and the Trisolarans adopting Earth culture, it seems that the two civilizations will soon be able to coexist peacefully as equals, without the terrible threat of mutually assured annihilation. But the peace has also made humanity complacent.

Hard science as a basis for the fictions
Revisado: 07-28-24
Interesting concepts. Interesting applications of hard science facts. The romance aspect, while light, seemed out of place.

Historia
Cancel culture is a new phenomenon, and The Canceling of the American Mind is the first book to codify it and survey its effects, including hard data and research on what cancel culture is and how it works, along with hundreds of new examples showing the left and right both working to silence their enemies.

Common Sense
Revisado: 12-20-23
A great follow up to The Coddling of the American Mind. A great explanation of how we have descended into cancel culture from both the far edges of political ideologies. Also advise on how to bring back civil discourse. If you can survive being cancelled.

Historia
Wings of War is the incredible true story of the P-51 Mustang fighter and the unlikely crew of designers, engineers, test pilots, and army officers who brought it from the drafting table to the skies over World War II. This is hardly a straightforward tale of building an airplane—for years, the team was stymied by corruption within the defense industry and stonewalled by the Army Air Forces, who failed to understand the Mustang’s potential.

A story of the most influential aircraft in the arsenal of democracy.
Revisado: 10-05-23
It is hard to overstate the influence that the P51 mustang had on the outcome of World War II in the favor of the allies. A nice concise history that highlights several of the early believers personal efforts to advance the aircraft.

Barely a podcast
Revisado: 03-05-19
Strangely put together. The presentation seemed to be stretched out with no apparent purpose. The story could have been told in under an hour. Unqualified silences and false dramatics. What was the purpose of the horse story? Was there really a talking horse? This question remains unanswered and is brought back later as some cathartic insight into the mind of Glen. The presenter supposes that it reflected Glen’s isolation and tenuous grip on reality. DR got a nice tour of the states out of it.

Good start but then.....
Revisado: 06-13-17
The first 2/3's are strong. Good premise. Thoughtful situations that probe the mind.
And then....a cliff. Everything falls off and dies. Story resolution is a bit of a let down.
Yes we earthlings know the ocean is great.
