Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.

This read gets one out of one’s own small world view and into an overview of the vastness of our planet

There are only so many ways to control others' minds. This group use the same twisted logic that the Jehovah's Witnesses and others use. I identified with Leah from beginning to end. Thank you, Leah! Great job!

Here is an impassioned plea for reason in a world divided by faith. This important and timely work delivers a startling analysis of the clash of faith and reason in today's world. Harris offers a vivid historical tour of mankind's willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs, even when those beliefs are used to justify harmful behavior and sometimes heinous crimes.

Excellent

I hope I can convey the reasoning in this book Maybe it will do some good. Of all the so-called "fruitages of the spirit" in the Bible, faith was the only one out of place to me. I never could see it being a quality that made one a better person, let alone essential for salvation.

Here we see Twain on a somewhat personal level. Penniless and having just lost his wife and one of his children, Twain turns to writing about God, Christianity, and the many curious natures of man. This collection was so controversial that his daughter prohibited its publication until 52 years after his death.

Sam Clements didn't want people to read what he actually thought regarding some of the dearest ideas most of mankind hold close. At least he didn't want them read any time
near to when he passed.
It is hard to believe that this many years have gone by since he wrote this kind of material
and still people think he had a "negative attitude".
If one writes the obvious, and the obvious questions belief, where is the harm?
We have been programmed to accept what we have been told, and few are those that dare, or should I dare say, feel compelled to speak the obvious.
Thank God we had Mark Twain to speak for us......

Penniless and downtrodden at the loss of his wife and one of his daughters, Samuel Clemens turned to writing. The short stories and essays in Letters from the Earth find Clemens—under the pseudonym of Mark Twain—at perhaps his most quizzical and questioning state ever. Written as diary entries, Twain penned a series of letters from the point of view of a dejected angel on Earth who observes the many curious natures of man. These pieces, gathered by Twain's literary executor, feature sharp takes on the inconsistencies of Christianity and farcical criticisms of American life.
