Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 13
Thomas Mann's last great novel, first published in 1947 and now newly rendered into English by acclaimed translator John E. Woods, is a modern reworking of the Faust legend, in which Germany sells its soul to the Devil. Mann's protagonist, the composer Adrian Leverkühn, is the flower of German culture, a brilliant, isolated, overreaching figure, his radical new music a breakneck game played by art at the very edge of impossibility. In return for twenty-four years of unparalleled musical accomplishment, he bargains away his soul—and the ability to love his fellow man.

Extraordinarily written and voiced.

While this might not have been my favorite of Thomas Manns works, it might be his most important and personal. The connections between Germany and the sins of the third Reich are ones that we all must learn from, and take an honest look at our own lives in this new technological age.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 11
For centuries, people have been returning to the same tired nature-versus-nurture debate, trying to determine what we learn and what we inherit. In Dancing Cockatoos and the Dead Man Test, biologist Marlene Zuk goes beyond the binary and instead focuses on interaction, or the way that genes and environment work together. Driving her investigation is a simple but essential question: How does behavior evolve?

Good information, but reader distracts from it.

Good information for anyone looking to learn about behavioral science. The reader though, sounded like someone reading a children's book and could be distracting from the information at times.
