Mostly descriptive, not so much advice on action

Revisado: 11-26-24

It was a clear description of the two states of being. I would have liked to see more options on how to move myself from one to the other

Mostly interesting

Revisado: 03-23-18

But the two last chapters don't fit the story. At least the last one is labeled an appendix but the penultimate one is a rambling set of victim's stories that do not fit in.

True story?

Revisado: 02-28-18

I have no idea whether this is a true story as advertised, but it is an entertaining story. One reason for my disbelief is that I never heard of this before and the book was published in 1998, that is 20 years ago. I find it hard to believe that I would not have heard of it before if there was any other proof of the story. Then again, I know a bit of the history of computers and the internet and I did not notice any evident untrue parts.

Again, entertaining enough to recommend it as a story, with the remark that I cannot comment on the truthfulness of this.

Fun listen on Anglo-Saxon history and language

Revisado: 12-28-17

Enjoyed the course, which covers both the history and language, including the few manuscripts that have been saved over the years.

Very long, hard but interesting

Revisado: 11-21-17

Very long and very long chapters, which could have been subdivided easily. The graphs discussed are provided in a pdf, which makes the discussion easier to understand. It is a difficult subject but the explanation is clear.
The subject is very important to today's society. Recommended, but expect to need time and attention.

Enjoyable mix of music and history

Revisado: 04-25-17

I enjoyed this mix of music and history. While the author and narrator is mostly known for his music discussions, here he combines music with history. He has chosen 24 pieces of music that are strongly connected to the time that they were composed and explains how the music fits into history, in some cases going back a century to place the piece correctly into the time period. While he illustrates the talks with parts of the musical pieces, this is much more talk than music. No previous knowledge of either the music or the history is necessary.

Shamans and sorcerers, may the five gods help us

Revisado: 02-02-17

Lovely short story, a continuation of 'Penric and his demon'. Penric has finished his studies a year ago and is working for the Princess who paid for them. She has a little side job for him, which is not quite going as expected.

Good content, not so good narrator

Revisado: 08-04-16

This is a good introduction to the essential questions of philosophy. Unfortunately the lecturer has a voice which is somewhat soporific. So this comes with a warning not to listen in the car or in other locations where falling asleep might be dangerous.
On the other hand, hearing parts of the lecture more than once does not harm and can even help following the chain of thought.

Interesting rebuttal of the ideas behind paleo

Revisado: 04-28-16

The author takes the ideas behind the paleo movement one by one and confronts them with the scientific research available. Humans are still evolving and we never fitted perfectly into the one hunter gatherer society, one reason is that there is no single such society.

Good voice, very well explained complete with the explanation of the most common statistical errors. Pictures and graphics are described clearly AND available in an additional pdf.
