Review:First, the good. These are interesting topics. It's good to be reminded of how much has changed in the last couple of decades. This is a fun read with some interesting stories. If you read the newspaper, you will find nothing new here. But getting a 10,000 foot view of the world can be a useful way to orient yourself.

He also points out the troubling aspects of what he's highlighting, and at no point in the book does he come across as being way off base. His ideas about the future are pr... Read more

Review:Disclosures: I do not know Mr. Kelly; I have no financial stake in this book; I did buy it from Amazon. The Inevitable is not really inevitable, but is a great discussion of 12 technology trends that Mr. Kelly has identified. Exactly how those will play out remains to be seen. I give the author credit for mentioning some of the downsides of these trends that have shown up in headlines recently. The book was published in 2016; probably written in 2015. So it's not too out of date. I gua... Read more

Review:This book has completely changed everything I thought I knew about whiskey! I learned something new every time I sat down to
read it. As a professional bartender I found the information on how to taste whiskey extremely helpful, it has already helped me to
increase sales of bourbon and scotch in my bar. An absolute must-have for bartenders, aficionados and the occasional drinker. Read more

Review:In this highly informative and interesting book, Tom Standage chronicles the evolution of food, explaining how humanity's first meals were hunted and gathered by people who literally lived off the land and how a shift towards farming and a development of agriculture prompted the first civilizations to be built. As people and cultures evolved, so did food's place in society, and as Standgae relates, food became, by turns, a power to exploit, a wealth to hoard, and a very special focus of politics...

Review:I wanted to practice mindfulness and this was one of two books I purchased in Kindle version. It came with a set of audio meditations to take the beginner through beginning mindful practices. I use this book as an ongoing tool. Read more

Review:Another winner from Dave Asprey. While the book definitely gets into the weeds on mitochondria, it is fascinating to learn how important they are to almost every function of the body. I read the Bulletproof Diet a couple of years ago and while there are many similarities it is great to get the latest information and continue to work on a healthier life! Read more

Review:Not having the references is a HUGE problem. In the paperback edition the references to all the studies she mentioned were not cited. I listened to the audiobook and wanted to explore some of the articles she had mentioned for an upcoming presentation on childhood obesity. I bought the paperback and was astonished to discover she didn't have a bibliography. That is an unexcetable practice in healthcare. Completely discredits the book. Such a shame. Read more

Review:This book is really well-written, but I bought it for my 9 year old son who loves Coyote Peterson's YouTube channel and it's not something he can easily read alone. It's probably written more toward maybe a 12 year old's capabilities, but again--very well written and great animal adventures. Read more

Review:I haven't read this book, only its description. But I feel compelled to weigh in with some comments based on that.
First, I take exception to the statement that animals aren't conscious. What an anthropocentric, ignorant load of bull! Of COURSE they are concsious. Any observant person with a brain can see that. In fact, some of them seem a lot more conscious than a lot of humans!.
Secondly, his views on human instinct have no basis in reality.
And finally, the main hypothesis sounds lik... Read more

Review:The book gives a fairly good overview of Einstein, and touches on a wide range of issues. Interesting to learn on Einstein's thoughts on morality, religion, politics, as well as his personal approach to how he viewed the laws of the universe and approached problem solving. An enjoyable and interesting read on a very interesting person. Read more
