In the 21st century, humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding - and at the same time appears to be losing its mind. Indeed, if humans were fundamentally irrational, how did they discover the benchmarks for rationality against which humans fall short? A list of the ways in which we are stupid cannot explain how we're so smart: how we discovered the laws of nature, transformed the planet, and lengthened and enriched our lives. But cognitive scientist and rational optimist Steven Pinker argues that this cannot be the whole picture. Humans today are often portrayed as cavemen out of time, poised to react to a lion in the grass with a suite of biases, blind spots, and illusions. wonderful, distinct, different, the story is very strange and exciting. He is a freelance journalist, political analyst, and military and security intelligence expert. The author of this book is from Syria, He is an activist and supporter of the Syrian revolution that demanded freedom, which started in 2011.

Very important book, which includes an explanation of the espionage process for the benefit of the Syrian people and against the intelligence services of the Syrian regime that lasted for eighteen years. : "Spy for nobody!: Sixteen Years in the Syrian Intelligence " Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it–and like none you’ve ever read before. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us–and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity. Kate’s is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanity’s defiance in the face of a terrible predator’s gaze, and inevitably, of savagery and death.īecause if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it. until now.īut the journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing–and too earth-shattering in its implications–to be forgotten. As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined. When faced with absurd or nightmarish events, their mantra is “The Experiment is the Experiment.”Īndrei is a thoughtful, decent man: he tries to be just, to do what he can to “put things right.” But he is so indoctrinated into the reigning ideology that he’s unaware of its soul-destroying meaninglessness. What is the Experiment? What are its objectives? Who is running it? No one knows. In the second chapter, Andrei is an investigator in the public prosecutor’s office in the third, senior editor of the City Gazette.Įveryone in the City is a subject of the Experiment. But in the City, jobs are ephemeral: at any moment, anyone can be assigned a different job. New residents are assigned jobs quite different from those they held on Earth-when we meet former astronomer Andrei Voronin, he is a garbage collector. except for hordes of baboons that occasionally rampage through the streets, a building that materializes at random locations, and other oddities. These and about a million others from different countries and different times have been somehow transported to the City, a wholly artificial world that strongly resembles Earth. 238 pages.Ī Soviet astronomer from the 1950s.

Includes a Note From a Forest Scientist, by Dr.Suzanne Simard Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland.Īfter learning about the complex life of trees, a walk in the woods will never be the same again. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. With more than 2 million copies sold worldwide, this beautifully-written book journeys deep into the forest to uncover the fascinating-and surprisingly moving-hidden life of trees.Īre trees social beings? In The Hidden Life of Trees forester and author Peter Wohlleben convincingly makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network. Daughter Ondi, who was behind virtually every aspect of this production, seems intent on sharing the most private moments of this rather emotionally charged environment. Not with the topic, but with the intimacy of the filming that was, essentially, none of my business. Sadly, though, as we begin to follow the final days of his life - on an almost day-by-day basis - I found myself feeling increasingly uncomfortable. Doubtless this thread of the film will elicit a great many views on the right to die, and taken objectively this has valid comment to make that clearly contributes to that debate. The political aspects of this documentary illustrate well the trauma the man himself and the family are put through as the regulations require clinical evaluation and for him to physically administer the doses himself - one heck of task for this frail gent. Now, at the age of 92, this lucid and engaging individual has had enough and so wishes to avail himself of his right to a medically assisted death. Being the victim of a freak stroke during a routine massage, his career was quite literally stopped in it's tracks as he, and his wife and three children, had to adapt to his increasingly disabling mobility issues and to the concomitant financial consequences of his inability to work. This is quite a touching, if very intrusive, look at the final weeks of former entrepreneur Eli Timoner. And I look forward more to next year's release of Laurie R Kings' second part of "The Language of Bees. A Study in Scarlet By: Arthur Conan Doyle Narrated by: Derek Jacobi Length: 4 hrs and 41 mins 4.6 (831 ratings) Listen for free Listeners also enjoyed. I will persevere on to other of Conan Doyle's novels or short stories, but without as high expectations. Also, the recording quality of my download was a bit wonky - I didn't bother to re-download to see if that corrected the sound glitches (probably would). The original Holmes is still a great invention, but Conan Doyle didn't create great fiction around him, in this novel anyway -Even Simon Prebble couldn't make this a great listen to me (and sometimes I wonder if Simon was bored - this is not his best narration). I was delighted to see new versions of the Conan Doyle's classics and eagerly wanted to listen to this one -Perhaps my expectations were just too high. I've become enamored of detective fiction only in the last year, and I came to Holmes through his reinterpretations by authors like Laurie R King and Nicolas Meyer. This is probably heresy to Holmes fans but. |
