Pretty decent encapsulation of a seminal moment in pop culture. Very informative of how certain trends started that would influence popular music for the next 50 or so years.
With her peerless ability to give us the essence of a life in often brief …
I enjoyed this collection of short stories, but they did not quite hit the high notes of much of her previous work.
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission--and if he fails, humanity …
I enjoyed this work quite a bit. The only criticism I have is that at some point in the novel you reach crisis fatigue. Yes, piloting a starship based on technology that's been developed in the past year or so is going to present some issues, but it sometimes feels like it's unrelenting.
You’ll ride shotgun with Dave for one crazy week, beginning with an impenetrable vault in …
It was entertaining and interesting. I wish the photographs of the safes were better - it's hard to make out a lot of details.
I also would have enjoyed a few diagrams - he'll be going into detail about some component of the safe and you'll be "what is he talking about". There's kind of an expectation that the reader has more than a passing familiarity with what he's talking about.
Told in vivid graphic novel form by a groundbreaking Eisner-nominated comics creator, the long-overdue biography …
Pretty decent overview of an epic life spanning over six decades in the comic industry. Yes, it's told from one point of view, but battle lines are clearly drawn between those in the industry to make a quick buck and those who see it as a modern art form.
Great illustrations and good (if not a little choppy) storytelling.
Definitely worth reading if you're a comic fan.
Amazing book about our relationship with plant medicines. Gives you a completely different perspective.
Hidden in the depths of eighteenth-century London, a secret apothecary shop caters to an unusual …
Interesting book that illustrates the parallels of a modern day woman's choices and that of an older woman living in 18th Century London. Well written and researched, it is a mix of self-discovery and historical fiction.
Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails …
Extremely illuminating work on America's history of racism and why it's literally the reason we cannot have nice things like universal healthcare, clean water, good schools, and so on.
I've always thought that I was well-informed on matters such as race and class in America. It turns out I was ignorant. This book is definitely a must-read.
