Should have found this Sooner

Revisado: 05-26-23

Thomas Sowell is a very intelligent man, I wish that I had found this book earlier in my life. I actually quit going to school at one University because I got tired of the campus life, lack of professors caring, Etc. 5 years later I chose a different University that is more suited to me and I am almost with a bachelor's degree but I still wish I had found this book sooner

This gives a very simple outline and ends with that the world is ending. Boring

Strong beginning, weak end; disappointed

Revisado: 08-06-21

Gives a good beginning of the spartan program, however when you get towards the end of the book it makes the entire Battle Of Reach seemed it only took an hour long, and the UNSC abandoned Reach. Halo Reach gives a better feel about it, this depiction lacks details and time. Also, gives the idea that only a single Covenant Capital ship took the entire planet, while other media makes it seem like there was fifty Capital ships in the fleet with all accompanying support craft.

Got more than I bargained for, in a good way.

Revisado: 04-20-21

Something I always hated about history classes was that more often they just glanced over the concentration camps. They just say "Nazis brought people here, put them in gas Chambers and an incinerated the bodies", while showing a couple photographs but they never really went much into it. I've always had a morbid fascination was trying to find out more about the concentration camps but couldn't really find anything pass what I previously said. This book really enlightened my eyes into the camps and show that it was more a gradual evolution of atrocities rather than just right out of the gate horrible worst things imaginable like they try to say in history class.

Very biased

Revisado: 04-09-21

I enjoy a lot of nonfiction titles, and the authors and of those books could look at anyting of topic objectively, they present what would be called the 'good side' and can also play devil's advocate for the other side so you can get a fair view. However this author does not hide his biased or political align reviews. To him seems like anything is bad no matter what good or modifications have come. For example he talks about the invention of synthesizing ammonia for crop fertilizer has caused nothing but problems instead of actually helping lives. The author also does not even bring up the fact that people have actually worked to fix the problem and have successfully fixed the problem over the years. Don't waste your time with this book.

Very PG for the topic

Revisado: 10-31-20

got this book on a Halloween special was partially worried that it was going to be a very gruesome and dark kind of book however I was very entertained by the topic and reassured that the author kept a very PG rating when talking in detail about certain aspects.

Equally entertained from a different angle

Revisado: 10-31-20

I originally got this book thinking it was going to be all the science behind the planet Mars. however after I started listening I found out it was purely about the science behind a mission to Mars. Though I was disappointed in my initial understanding of what the book would be I was just as entertained from a different angle so to speak.
