The elite crew of the pirate ship UNS Flying Dutchman had a simple mission: determining whether the Thuranin are sending another starship to Earth. Along the way, they became sidetracked by securing a future for the UNEF troops on the planet Paradise. When asked whether Earth was now safe, their ancient alien AI responded "Not so much"...now they have to deal with the consequences.

Nothing could excite Dr. Beach O'Neill more than the possibility of discovering an unknown species of bird. His world is flipped out of control when a south Texas ranch foreman reports seeing a strange red bird on the banks of an isolated river where O'Neill is conducting research. Things turn bad when Beach discovers the mutilated body of the foreman. The county sheriff thinks O'Neill is the killer, but doesn't have evidence to prove it.

I really enjoyed this. It gives an insight into academic and scientific research culture the average person might not be familiar with.

Jerry Wonder is the hero of this hilarious coming-of-age novel. A 19-year-old Mormon missionary, Jerry leaves South Dakota to save souls in New Zealand for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Elder Wonder's path is fraught with challenge. He misses his girlfriend, Susan, who tried valiantly to seduce him before he left, but to his regret, he remained strong for both of them. Now, he worries he will lose her in his two-year absence. And he is flawed.

The second step.
Revisado: 04-03-15
The thing that got me started down this road was a documentary on running and human evolution. That inspired me to try it and purchase some five finger shoes. My neighbor saw me running and suggested Born to Run. It was fantastic! I was not only encouraged by it, but inspired. Eat and Run is my second book on my running journey. Being a vegetarian and being interested in Ultramarathons lead me to it.
This story is very in depth. It in many ways it's more of a biography of Scott Jurek interlaced with practical advise on running, nutrition, and health living. Again, I found the book very inspirational and motivating.
The only thing I really didn't like was the readers voice. He had a kind of tough guy I've been through some crap but I'm too much of a man to talk about it voice. He sounded like someone who would be uncomfortable in a room of laughing jovial people. I can picture him trying to turn every conversation into "so how much can you bench".
If the reader reads this please don't take this as a personal attack. I'm sure everything I've imagined about you is not true. Next time you read, though, try not to sound so serious all through the whole thing.

Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit.

I'm 41. I've been running off and on for most of my life. It's always been a dream of mine to run a marathon. Well, this book ruined that dream. Having been injured several times running, I've thrown off my shoes and adopted a new dream. 100 miles baby though the wilderness!! Woohoo!!

In today’s society, games are fulfilling real human needs in ways that reality is not. Hundreds of millions of people globally - 174 million in the United States alone - regularly inhabit game worlds because they provide the rewards, stimulating challenges and epic victories that are so often lacking in the real world. Jane McGonigal argues that we need to figure out how to make the real world—our homes, our businesses and our communities—engage us in the way that games do.

I loved the concept
Revisado: 02-26-13
What did you love best about Reality Is Broken?
I am a huge gamer. I'm also the Director of Education at a small private school for troubled teen boys. The ideas and concepts presented in this book resonated deeply with me. I'm so interested in this, I started a Master's Program at Texas A&M Commerce on Global eLearning. The ideas presented in this book are at the leading edge of education today. It is a fantastic read!
What does Julia Whelan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Julia Whelan's reading style and approach lent itself very well to this book. Her tone is lively and excited. Her enthusiasm for the topic is apparent though out.
