Historia
Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was an intrepid explorer and the most famous scientist of his age. His restless life was packed with adventure and discovery, whether climbing the highest volcanoes in the world or racing through anthrax-infested Siberia. He came up with a radical vision of nature, that it was a complex and interconnected global force and did not exist for man's use alone. Ironically, his ideas have become so accepted and widespread that he has been nearly forgotten.

Important History for all North & South Americans
Revisado: 03-20-23
I would recommend this book to naturalists and any other nature enthusiasts. I would also suggest this to schools as books to reach with student (particularly in the Americas). It gives us some insight into the history of the lands in which we inhabit, how we are all connected as a single continent of America, and as a planet as a whole. It also gives us concept of how we got here and came to understand this world around us. A good example of history to show us what not to do in the future and how to better appreciate and take care of our shared world.

Historia
In these brilliant essays, Lightman explores the emotional life of science, the power of imagination, the creative moment, and the alternate ways in which scientists and humanists think about the world. Along the way, he provides in-depth portraits of some of the great geniuses of our time, including Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, Edward Teller, and astronomer Vera Rubin. Thoughtful, beautifully written, and wonderfully original, A Sense of the Mysterious confirms Alan Lightman's unique position at the crossroads of science and art.

Not what I was hoping for
Revisado: 03-08-22
I thought this book would live up to the title a bit more, but there didn’t feel like there was much of a story. It’s pretty much just a bunch of anecdotes slammed together onto one book. And felt very disorganized and scattered, was hard to follow

Historia
In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humor and heart, she tells of growing up one of the few Asian-American kids at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother's particular high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food.

Raw and Powerful
Revisado: 08-11-21
I have been a fan of Michelle Zauner’s music with Japanese Breakfast for years now. I even saw her play live in Jersey City once.
I was introduced to Japanese Breakfast during an incredibly difficult time in my life emotionally and immediately felt connected to her lyrics. For the next year that followed, Soft Sounds from Another Planet and Psychopomp were major staples of my musical diet. They inspired much of my creative works that served as a healing outlet for me.
I say all this to say that I cried like a baby to get such a deep insight of Michelle’s journey through this experience of losing her mother. It brought so much illumination to the stories within so many of her songs that I have loved for years! Songs I have been feeling the stories in her lyrics through my own lens and through my own experiences that I connected to those words. It feels like a privilege to hear the true story that built many of those songs.
A huge thank you to Michelle for writing this and everyone who helped her! It’s almost surreal how connected and invested I felt to the whole experience despite everyone in her story being complete strangers to me in life.
100% recommend to anyone, 200% to Japanese Breakfast fans!!

Historia
In a rousing speech on race, poverty, and economic justice - given less than a year before his assassination - Martin Luther King Jr. drives home the mission behind his Poor People's Campaign. It is a clear-eyed look at the disparity of wealth in America, what it means for people of all colors - and a message of inspiration dedicated to the power of the people.

Gives You The Chills
Revisado: 09-02-20
This speech is just as relevant now as it was 53 years ago. MLK’s words rang very clear and concise in this speech through Wanda Sykes. It’s inspiring to the very core of anyone who truly believes in the fundamentals of real American values - life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; as well as freedom, equality, justice, opportunity, and the ongoing fight for humanity in this country. He speaks from the heart and of real human experience in the USA, and there is no mistake in the truths presented.
Caution: Will make you deeply uncomfortable and/or compel you to gravitate toward unfounded conspiracies, willful ignorance, outright hatred (or a combination of these) — if you are racist.
