Great book but not easy

Revisado: 01-19-18

For starters but the audio on 1.5x even for a comfortable read. It takes a while to get into but the depth and breadth of information is amazing and worth it. It gives a great foundation to build upon if you have an interest in understand the human species. It helps to show the butterfly effect of civilization for better or worse and how intertwined we all are despite our seeming endless desire to separate ourselves.

Mix of science and story confuses the two

Revisado: 04-28-17

Overall dark matter and the volume of scientific reference is great as a grounding but in quite a few cases the story telling of drama and political intrigues in the science community confuses the time line and findings and you need to do additional work to confirm relevant scientific points. Still enjoyable and well researched helped by a great reading performance . But overall 3 star because I was lack with a lack of clarity on events and timing

Interesting but bias and lost me at the end

Revisado: 12-07-15

Didn't waste my time and the book is interesting, well researched and thorough. I just felt it was too "great king" focused especially as he got older, it lost me because based on what I was hearing he was way more "terrible". I felt the evidence and interpretation did not match and it kept me mentally stopping as I assessed the difference and then mentally rolled my eyes by the end. Still worth a read though.

Well written but it's still Rust

Revisado: 07-06-15

My he book has a lot of interesting stories and insights into rust and corrosion, it touches on a wide array of rust linked topics too. However I ultimately did t get a sense of what it all meant, or get involved in the story. "Surviving the scream" had me passionately sucked into an industry and problem I never felt touched me, but after this book I just felt "mmm interesting, what should I read next". With that said it wasn't a time waster and was well researched and written.

Eye opening and well documented

Revisado: 05-06-15

There is a slight bias in the narrative towards drug legalization but the book is a powerful discussion for everyone no matter which side of the issue you stand on. I left the book moved and changed in respect to my opinions and that's no mean feat for a book

Documented and researched pretty technical

Revisado: 03-27-15

Very thorough was more technical than I thought from a geological pov, overall very interesting though. It gives a very deep view of risk and life symbiosis

Lack of Direction and Support

Revisado: 10-17-03

This is an interesting subject and many interesting sightings and events are described but the arguments and basis for his suggestions are weak and sometimes annoyingly lacking in anything substantial. I am skeptically fasinated in the topic but the book offered stories over a convincing developing process of a real argument. I was left frustrated with more questions about his opinions than an understanding of what he was ultimately trying to prove or say about what was happening.
