Fascinating lecture

Interesting science, but lots of woke preaching
Revisado: 04-04-25
Interesting science, but lots of woke preaching. There are several places where the author evaluates theories based on alignment with their views on gender, Native American concerns, and skepticism on the notion of evolutionary progress.
It was free (to me with audible membership) and it’s not to hard to fast forward over those parts.

The shadows deepen in every corner of the Realms. The sun no longer shines on a man who has embraced the darkness within him. The day's opposite finds Erevis Cale so far along the path away from his own humanity, he may never again walk as a man. In the end, to be Chosen by a god like Mask is more curse than blessing....

Brings the trilogy to conclusion while opening doors for more stories. Kemp continues the surprises whole building on the core themes of the first two books. Bravo!

Spectacular fossil finds make today's headlines; new technology unlocks secrets of skeletons unearthed 100 years ago. Still, evolution is often poorly represented by the media and misunderstood by the public. A potent antidote to pseudoscience, Written in Stone is an engrossing history of evolutionary discovery for anyone who has marveled at the variety and richness of life.

Disappointing
Revisado: 11-19-20
As a book for an interested amateur, fascinated by time and change on earth, this was a real disappointment. The extensive reliance on formal scientific species names with minimal descriptions and context makes it akin to listening to the reading of a dictionary. Also the book is far less about the creatures themselves and how they lived and changed than it is about the author’s preoccupation with - in his view - a conflict between science and religion. As a person who happens to know a lot about both, I can say that his presentation on this topic is simplistic and tone condescending. I really enjoyed about a 1/2 hour of the text on quadrupeds, but otherwise recommend skipping this one.

Long winded
Revisado: 11-02-18
The author spends way to much time talking about himself and his personal anecdotes. It takes him a very long time to say things and because of that this book actually contains little useful text for its length. The book less about habits/addiction/readers than about the author.
