Excellent book with actionable suggestions

Revisado: 03-16-23

I liked how this book identified the problem of science denial and broke it down into discrete parts. I like how the book reviewed many kinds of science denial and identify those that have been politicized and those that have not. I liked the positive ways to engage with people who have different viewpoints. I liked the underlying humanity of the author’s s perspective, and the desire to make the world a better place through effective communication and clearer thinking.

Excellent book on mindfulness

Revisado: 02-16-23

I liked the practical and realistic application of mindfulness to daily life. I liked the focus on attention. As someone who has practiced mindfulness meditation for fifteen years, I found the recommended practices useful and the research behind it fascinating.

Great book

Revisado: 06-29-20

This is one of my favorite books ever. Cent is a great character and anyone who starts her own space program is to be applauded. My daughter is one year old but I really hope she enjoys this book when she is old enough.
I am in a graduate program for Space Resources and I’m well-versed on real space science. The author does an excellent job of keeping everything as realistic as possible with the exception of the teleportation. The orbital mechanics is accurate, the radiation environment and mitigation measures are accurate, the references to SpaceX and NASA at the time of writing is accurate. The author does his research and has wonderful detail in the descriptions of complex systems.
@Steven Gould you can’t leave us hanging with just a “sample” of what is to come!

Really enjoyed this book

Revisado: 06-05-19

Author did a great job of developing the story and the characters. The concept is very similar to the book Wildside by Steven Gould but the human dynamics are really fun to listen to and the setting in a wild Pleistocene earth and post super volcano Earth were very engaging. It’s good to see the characters make mistakes and learn from them then developed through time in what felt like a realistic way. I couldn’t stop listening to it and finished it in a day.

Great book!

Revisado: 07-31-15

I really liked how the characters were portrayed and how the differences and conflicts between them drove the story. The Fuzzies and Carl were awesome!
It is also interesting to compare this book with the original by H Beam Piper; to see how societies' awareness of environmental impact has changed over the last 50 or so years. Jack Holloway is a very interesting and complex character.

Wonderful book and series

Revisado: 05-15-15

This is a book I come back to again and again. I first read it nearly 20 years ago and find something new in it every time I reread it. I have purchased it and all of the Jumper books in hardcover, audiobook, and e-book. I really appreciate the author’s perceptiveness about human emotions. The main character, Davey, has several traumas in this book and the following ones that affect him deeply. I find the story of his growth and learning to heal in his own often flawed way deeply moving. The teleportation is a fun what if. I also enjoy the technical depth that the author goes into with various topics through Davey’s interests.

Very nice story

It was very similar to the Wheel of Time in many ways. Still it was different enough to be enjoyable.

Good start to a new series

Revisado: 03-24-15

I'm enjoying the character, the world, and the system of magic. The characters are developing nicely. The writing is not as subtle as I generally like but I think it's improving through the course of the story.

Entertaining

Revisado: 03-15-15

It was a pleasant story to pass time. The writing and humor were good. I generally like a bit more depth to the SciFi I read.
