A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived - The Human Story Retold Through Our Genes
A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived - The Human Story Retold Through Our Genes

Review:I was most definitely not the intended audience for this book, but I also dislike Rutherford’s style; I did not get much past Part I. I had hoped that the book would be an update and elaboration of the books by Spencer Wells – now "we have approximately 150,000 fully sequenced human genomes, and useful samplings from literally millions of people, from all over the world." Rutherford’s stated objective in Part I is “the rewriting of the past using genetics, from a time when there were at leas... Read more

A Revolutionary Way to Influence and Persuade
A Revolutionary Way to Influence and Persuade

Review:In his now-classic "Influence", Robert Cialdini tagged along with vacuum salesmen, car dealers and other persuasion professionals to come up with the six psychological principles that were "deployed routinely in long-prospering influence businesses" -- reciprocation, liking, social proof, authority, scarcity, and consistency. Those principles are still solid gold. Prof Cialdini once again gets his hands dirty to uncover an even deeper level of influence: how to make compliance almost a foregone ... Read more

Our List of the 500 Best Places to See... Ranked - Lonely Planet's Ultimate Travel

Review:This is a gorgeous book with a wonderfully put together list of places to travel. Having been to a few of these, I can say they truly deserve a space on the list. This book definitely gives me major wanderlust. It would be an excellent coffee table book or gift for any intrepid traveller, or really for anyone that appreciates the diversity of beautiful places throughout the world. HOWEVER, my book arrived with several blank pages, I'm assuming due to a printing error. Destinations #4, 5, 7, 8, 1... Read more

000 Places to See Before You Die - Revised Second Edition
000 Places to See Before You Die - Revised Second Edition

Review:I purchased the thick paperback edition in 2003 and have used and enjoyed it often. I like the commentary and background.

In preparing for a trip to Italy, I got the Kindle edition so I would not have to lug the book or photocopy the pages I wanted to bring.
Boy was that a mistake. The Kindle edition is so sparse. I was under the mistaken impression it would have the same content as the paper version.

Live and learn. Read more

Think Like An Elite Warrior to Lead and Succeed - The Way of the SEAL

Review:This book is largely New Age mumbo jumbo such as guided imagery and eastern meditation. Don't waste your time with such nonsense. If you want to learn how to be a man forget the magical thinking and go to the source. The Measure of a Man by Gene Getz will get you started. Read more
