Tom the Tinker

Straightens out a lot of history

Revisado: 04-05-25

Many misconceptions were unseated from my misunderstanding of the long hunters and their place in colonial and early American history. The masterful rendering does factual history a deep service.

High entertainment for the pocket projector crowd

Revisado: 08-01-24

Rust seems an unlikely story but the author reaches into obscure and overlooked places and the lives of often equally obscure people to bring forth an entertaining story of the builders and their nemesis—corrosion. As a technician who daily battles corrosion in electronics and mechanics, I enjoyed this narrative of rust in its broad scope and persistent intrusion upon all the materials and designs of our best and brightest engineers.

Informative but vegetarian biased

Revisado: 12-28-22

Good explanation of the dangers of processed foods. However, it goes off the rails into plant-based eating—which is slow poisoning. A case of jumping out of the fire and into the frying pan.

Critical Mass: brilliance + experience

Revisado: 12-20-22

Doctor Lustig’s brilliant mind and penetrating discernment has over forty years of front line medicine has grown into this explosive testimony and appeal. Like a chain reaction, I hope this book spreads widely and sweeps away the fraud his diligent research has exposed. We will all be healthier, wealthier and wiser.

Exactly right! Medicine is now a foul trap.

Revisado: 12-02-22

Dr Berry tells it like I have experienced it with my doctor and my health journey. General practice medicine has become a racket: big pharmaceutical companies have built a profit-engine paradigm through the medical schools and governing bodies. The doctors are ensnared in it, and we patients are the unwitting victims. The watch word decades ago was “Seeking the cure”: now it is “Developing therapies”. The intent is to manage an ever-growing income base of sick people who pay for drugs and services as their health declines, That is the intent, to make them even more profitable to the twisted system managing and reaping profits from their misery. Dr Berry does not say that in his book; he only gives the doctor frustration within the evil system. But it is easy for the reader to see the bigger picture. Thank you, Doctor Berry!

A sobering revelation of cannon-fodder soldiering

Revisado: 07-12-21

This survivor relates a long series of degrading and harrowing experiences which reveal more than the best historian ever will. It is masterfully written: Private Wilkerson says very much, very quickly—and then stops. It is an enlightening Civil War gem.

Sincerity to the max!

Revisado: 04-15-21

Jocko is the values he expounds, and that comes across with each word he carefully utters.
