Theo Byrne is a promising young astrobiologist who has found a way to search for life on other planets dozens of light years away. He is also the widowed father of a most unusual nine-year-old. His son, Robin, is funny, loving and filled with plans. He thinks and feels deeply, adores animals and can spend hours painting elaborate pictures. He is also on the verge of being expelled from third grade, for smashing his friend's face with a metal thermos.

Promising more than it delivers
Revisado: 06-07-23
Good idea in the beginning, with many important topics touched upon but treated in a shallow, pretentious way. One dimensional, paper characters and repetitive observations about the world based on a simplistic binary good-bad made it not worth spending time on.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 272
A Portuguese Jew living in Holland, Spinoza was excommunicated because of the unorthodox view he took of God. Spinoza wrote in the rationalist style of a geometric proof to develop his idea of God as the infinite, indwelling cause of all things, a unified causal system that is virtually synonymous with nature.

If you want “unprofessional” performance go to LibroVox - it’s free
Revisado: 05-29-23
The book itself is OK - not a bad basic intro to Spinoza life and very top level, popular explanation of his ideas. But the performance …. OMG! It’s incomprehensible with all the citations being read out by actors pretending to have a very thick accent: Galileo is ITALIAN to the extreme, Spinoza - some imitation of Spanish. For me it sounds not only rude and unnecessary- it simply makes it impossible to comprehend the content. Very very bad idea from whoever came up with the performance.

In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo offers a contemporary, accessible take on the racial landscape in America, addressing head-on such issues as privilege, police brutality, intersectionality, micro-aggressions, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the "N" word. Perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between people of color and white Americans struggling with race complexities, Oluo answers the questions listeners don't dare ask and explains the concepts that continue to elude everyday Americans.

Interesting but also quite an American point of view
Revisado: 05-17-23
It is an interesting book making several good points on systemic racism in the USA. As a white person with solid sociological educational background living in a quite diverse society in a European country, I am missing some broader perspective. Or maybe it would be more honest and transparent for the author to state clearly she only covers racial issues in the USA and not how to talk about race in general. Many of the issues mentioned in the book are local, not universal, and connected to being a person of colour in the USA - not everywhere.
