Should be required reading for all Americans!

Revisado: 10-30-24

Leigh McGowan presents an excellent brief introduction to American civics, pointing out the fragility of our grand experiment in democracy. The forces tearing our nation apart are now at our doorstep, and she gives a point by point checklist of what really matters in our democracy, and the values which America should hold dear in order to preserve our system of government. This book is very well written and thought out. The author is a rockstar at explaining what is important!

Phil's book is laid out like a travelogue, taking readers on journeys to far away and inaccessible vistas. He is the perfect tour guide, describing all of the sights and what they mean. In this way, he sneakily informs the reader about the newest discoveries in astronomy and planetary science. This book was a joy to read, and made the path to learning new things about the universe a fun and amazing journey. Highly recommended!

Being a retired physician myself, the author is spot on in describing the issues and problems with our current healthcare system. The United States is in the midst of a healthcare crisis due to the corporatization of the healthcare industry. I can tell you from the trenches that no one on the inside of healthcare is happy with the current system. As the author points out, public hospitals remain the last stop for the many desperate patients discarded by the for-profit healthcare system. This beautifully written book describes the complexities and the many failures of the current system. I wish more Americans were aware of the issues as so well described in this book. Hopefully, public pressure will drive politicians to reform our broken healthcare system!

Excellent advice!

Revisado: 02-08-24

I was greatly impressed with the quality of writing and the advice given in this wonderful book! I've been on a minimalist journey for over 10 years, working to simplify and curate my life so that there is more meaning and content in each moment of every day. The author provides excellent advice on how to curate our technological lives so that our interactions with digital media and with our smart phones become one of quality of content rather than quantity. Wonderfully readable, and filled with interesting anecdotes and historical vignettes, I highly recommend this book to anybody who regularly uses a smart phone or surfs the Internet. The author provides great advice and actions to reclaim your stolen time. Although I had already started implementing some of the concepts in this book on my own, the content and advice in this book sharpened my focus so I can do a much better job of enriching and curating my digital media use. This has allowed me to have much more time and productivity in the more important areas of my life.

Wonderful!

Erin MacDonald gives a wonderful overview of the basic physics of relativity, space-time, time travel, and quantum entanglement. She intersperses her lectures with great examples from popular science fiction stories, movies, and TV shows. This lecture series is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the physics of outer space, science fiction, and the concept of time travel. Well done!

Beautiful Story!

This is a beautiful tale of love against the backdrop of the struggles of a single woman wishing to pursue scientific investigation in the 19th century. An excellent narration of a wonderful and heartfelt love story!

Good material but poor performance.

Revisado: 06-16-17

The material is a very good introduction to mindfulness and meditation. However, the presentation is marred by loud flute music of the same volume as the speaker's voice. This makes it very difficult to concentrate on the content of the material. The music would have been alright if it would've been about 1/4 of the volume, or better yet, if it had been left out entirely.

Excellent narration of a fabulous book. Incorporate some of Carter's advice into your relationship, and you will see almost immediate improvements. Some of the best advice I've ever read on improving your relationship and making it thrive. Highly recommended!

This book kept me on the edge of my seat during every chapter! Wonderfully narrated with a high degree of scientific accuracy, this is a story of the will to survive, and of self-sacrifice to help others. Engineers and scientists will love this book due to the accurate descriptions of how the protagonist prolongs his survival. It's also a very human story of what great lengths individuals, organizations, and whole countries will go to in order to help someone in desperate need. Highly recommended!
