Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium
Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium

Review:Don't believe the editorial review by Gilbert Taylor. Sagan only mentions Pat Robertson in passing. It was actually sort of a footnote about how the televangelist got his fanatical anti-abortion viewers to skew the results of a phone survey.

The phrase "billions and billions" is not really Sagan's "cliche", because he never actually said it. But Sagan's description about how that fallacy got started is actually very amusing, so I can't imagine why someone would call it "flat", but I get t... Read more

Track Animals—and Other Forgotten Skills - Use Outdoor Clues to Find Your Way
Track Animals—and Other Forgotten Skills - Use Outdoor Clues to Find Your Way

Review:Love this book. Can't find a single page that's not interesting. This is a resource book so easy to read & author describes things simply so reader follows along without a glitch. Love this book & his "How to Read Water" book also. Hope to buy more over time for each grandson. My son who is 26 and an outdoorsman type says he never wants to lose this book, it's a keeper. Thank you also for the price being affordable. Read more

The Varieties of Scientific Experience - A Personal View of the Search for God
The Varieties of Scientific Experience - A Personal View of the Search for God

Review:Some years back I set out to read as many books as I could that purported to speak in favour and against the existence of God, and see where the evidence led. I won't bother you with my findings, we all have to make that journey ourselves.
With the greatest respect for Mr. Sagan, his arguments were very simplistic, superficial, specious, and, quite frankly, not worthy of being called scientific (alliteration not intended). This is not meant to demean the great man, but from reading numerous b... Read more

Sky & Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas Jumbo Edition
Sky & Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas Jumbo Edition

Review:I love the print version of this atlas, but not the Kindle edition. The scan resolution is poor. The navigation is underwhelming. When you look at a map, there are arrows in the margin to indicate the adjoining map. How hard would it have been to make those arrows "active" so that you would be transported to that map? Colour me disappointed! Read more

from Missiles to the Moon to Mars - The Women Who Propelled Us
from Missiles to the Moon to Mars - The Women Who Propelled Us

Review:The riveting, astonishing and inspirational story of the women who took us to space starting in the 1940s and continuing through every NASA space mission. This is a record of immense importance and a story that was nearly lost. Yet it is an edge of your seat page turner. Looking at the monumental achievement of this group of women, particularly the nearly unfunded Voyager program that resulted in the only man made objects to reach interstellar space (still functioning 44 YEARS after launch) a...

The Origin and Fate of the Universe - The Theory of Everything
The Origin and Fate of the Universe - The Theory of Everything

Review:The book is brilliant!!! Steven Hawking is brilliant. I must admit that I had to read each page VERY slowly and tried to digest it; then reading a lot more of it again. It is above me. I tried to follow his thinking; and although the book was said to be written for the "common"man; it is definitely not an easy read. However, I appreciate the intelligent mind that wrote it and admire all the work done trying to figure out our universe. Even if I did not understand it completely, I loved readi... Read more

Dr. Dan Burisch Reveals the Truth About ETs - UFOs and MJ-12

Review:One star because it was easy to read. The story however was clearly made up and should be classified as a novel. I mean a Parole and Probation Officer moonlighting as a mocrobiologist so accomplished no one else could cure an alien and the almighty Federal Govt., in order to procure his services, had to work around his day job?

My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality - Our Mathematical Universe
My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality - Our Mathematical Universe

Review:Although the four levels of infinities can nicely fit in our local universe ... even per person/instant, and thus make our eigenvector of constants just one of infinitelt many ... it somehow forgets to ponder that, of these infinities within infinities, there are likely to be constructs which utilize their universe in total, as a quantum-like computational system. Hard to imagine that neither Tegmark nor Hawking thought this through. Read more
