In Unruly, David Mitchell explores how early England’s monarchs, while acting as feared rulers firmly guiding their subjects’ destinies, were in reality a bunch of lucky bastards who were mostly as silly and weird in real life as they appear today in their portraits.

Exactly what I hoped it would be. If my psychological profile of David is correct, he will absolutely read this and all of the other reviews on here. So… David, excellent work! Do more of this. I understand that this took enormous effort, but if you write more I will read more, or listen. In fact I would gratefully watch a show that aligns with the same style and content. James Burke 2.0

How to Find Zodiac includes an exclusive interview between author Jarett Kobek, true crime aficionado Rebecca Lavoie, and host of True Crime Obsessed, Patrick Hinds. This title encourages you to forget everything you think you know about the infamous killer as it reinvestigates what's possible within the case and poses a new suggestion of who's to blame.

Wow, It’s bad.

Weird third person self-referencing and bazaar editorializing. The book is lacking any real investigation and just a man going down a deep, dark, myopic, pointless rabbit hole. I gave it a try because a podcast suggested it, I am now realizing it must have been an ad. Sigh…

Conventional wisdom suggests English is going to the dogs, that bad grammar, slang, and illogical constructions signal a decline in standards of usage - to say nothing of the corruption wrought by email and text messages. But English is a complicated, marvelous language. Far from being a language in decline, English is the product of surprisingly varied linguistic forces, some of which have only recently come to light. And these forces continue to push English in exciting new directions.

Thinking about language in a whole new way
Revisado: 12-09-16
Even my spontaneous review heading now gives me cause to ponder. The use of the word "whole" in my review heading is a variance on the word "very." In the last of these courses, the author provided examples of several such words ("pencil" thin, "brand" new) and how these types of words point to an ever-evolving English grammar. The course gives an enlightening understanding of how languages have come to take their present day forms, as well as what we can expect for the future of English.
