Historia
The coauthors of the New York Times best-selling Difficult Conversations take on the toughest topic of all: How we see ourselves. Douglas Stone and Sheila Heen have spent the past 15 years working with corporations, nonprofits, governments, and families to determine what helps us learn and what gets in our way. In Thanks for the Feedback, they explain why receiving feedback is so crucial yet so challenging. They blend the latest insights from neuroscience and psychology with practical, hard-headed advice.

It's ok
Revisado: 09-10-24
Very important topic. A few good bits. Much didn't land with me.
I think the book is meant for people with executive ambitions, although some lessons are good for everyone. The discussion of "track switching" I thought was useful.
Overall, I feel it's improving giving feedback that's more critical.

Historia
November 14, 1944: I wax a German ace. The next morning, it’s March 10, 1942. Confused? Welcome to my world. I have no idea how this happened or what the hell is going on, other than the fact that the airfield I found belongs to the 2/81, an all-female fighter squadron operating near Marseille, France.

For WW2 Buffs
Revisado: 09-09-24
This isn't a bad story - it just didn't particularly grip my attention. I don't intend to continue the series.
A World War 2 pilot is mysteriously transported to an alternate Earth that is almost exactly like our own, but set two years earlier in the war, and with several squads of all female pilots. He leads them in battle and beds several of them.
If you like discussion of different kinds of WW2 aircraft, their armaments, pilot slang and names of aerial combat maneuvers, this is for you.

Not bad
Revisado: 09-09-24
This wasn't a bad book. There are things I like about it. It's a different approach to a post-apocalyptic future. There's adventure. Hot girls!
It just didn't really grab me, not sure why. I don't see myself continuing the series.
But I appreciate some of the things the author did - such as presenting traditional liberal views, but from a macho man perspective that could make them easier to swallow for some people.
Or having one girl enjoy being submissive and calling the protagonist "Sir" or "Master." It was only a tiny, tiny piece of D/s, but still, better than nothing.

Historia
In The Unappreciated Power of Naps, sleep researcher and clinical psychologist Dr. Jade Wu will uncover the truth about napping and its amazing benefits for both mind and body. Across six revealing lectures, you’ll examine what science tells us about the benefits—and, yes, the potential downsides—of napping.

Short but useful
Revisado: 09-09-24
Extremely short, but useful, even if the bulk of the advice boils down to "afternoon naps can be useful." The book delves into many details aspects of napping - athletes, babies, Alzheimer's, etc. However, if you struggle with sleep, the author's full-sized book "Hello Sleep" would be better.

Historia
Sparked by a controversial debate in February 2014, Bill Nye has set off on an energetic campaign to spread awareness of evolution and the powerful way it shapes our lives. In Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation, he explains why race does not really exist; evaluates the true promise and peril of genetically modified food; reveals how new species are born, in a dog kennel and in a London subway; takes a stroll through 4.5 billion years of time; and explores the new search for alien life, including aliens right here on Earth.

Recommended. Make your religious relatives read it.
Makes a solid case for evolution, providing many interesting facts, some new to me.
Some of the humor was a bit cheesy and doesn't necessarily age well.
Interesting bits about how life could have evolved and where it might be found outside of Earth.

Historia
It would appear that, after two years of relative slacking, the Hero of Chaos is once again facing an ever-growing workload. Boxxy had been quite fortunate to obtain an exceptionally potent pawn with very little effort, but that was still effort it did not intend to expend. Sensing it might get dragged into things it really doesn't want to bother with, the creature makes haste to depart Velos and its orcs so that it may continue its private preparations for the upcoming Dragon Festival.

Revisado: 09-04-24
It's alright. As usual, the Soundbooth Theater production, with a variety of voice actors plus music and sound effects, is terrific.
The plot wasn't bad, mind you. It was nice that the god-killing protagonist was faced with situations that challenged it. And there were some plot points advanced from book to book.
But on the whole, it wasn't nearly as engrossing as the early books. I was wondering how much longer I should keep following the series, so I appreciated the note at the end of the book that "we're nearing the end." Hopefully there aren't many books left in the series.

Historia
Scientist Charles Neumann loses a leg in an industrial accident. It's not a tragedy. It's an opportunity. Charlie always thought his body could be better. He begins to explore a few ideas. To build parts. Better parts. Prosthetist Lola Shanks loves a good artificial limb. In Charlie, she sees a man on his way to becoming artificial everything. But others see a madman. Or a product. Or a weapon. A story for the age of pervasive technology, Machine Man is a gruesomely funny unraveling of one man's quest for ultimate self-improvement.

Dark but entertaining
Revisado: 09-01-24
Darker than what I usually like. Fans of Black Mirror will love this.
Evil corporations. Engineers inventing without asking if they should. The dark side of biohacking. Romance, explosions, action.
The author clearly looked up various science/engineering terms to add without always using them. Not everything makes sense.
But still, an entertaining story.

Interesting twist on fantasy tropes: elves are stronger and faster than humans, but magically enhanced humans are stronger and faster than elves.
Pretty decent overall.
Glad there are male and female voice actors, but I don't like the chapter-based approach. Please, always have dialogue for male characters read by the male narrator and have dialogue for female characters consistently read by the female narrator.

Coming out of the Dakotas with a little bit of extra scratch was more than I could have reasonably expected, given how much trouble we'd found ourselves in. Little did I know how much deeper the rabbit hole could go. When I was offered a job to hunt down and stop a group of flamboyant assassins, I immediately said what any self-respecting poker player would say: No. No way. Absolutely not. Are you out of your mind?

I enjoyed this, although the author in this series has an unfortunate tendency to use racial stereotypes.
It's been a while since this book came out. It's not clear to me if there will be more books in the series or not. But this book definitely doesn't conclude the series - there are several major plotlines that are nowhere near being resolved.

Historia
In The Ancestor's Tale, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins offers a masterwork: an exhilarating reverse tour through evolution, from present-day humans back to the microbial beginnings of life four billion years ago. Throughout the journey, Dawkins spins entertaining, insightful stories and sheds light on topics such as speciation, sexual selection, and extinction. The Ancestor's Tale is at once an essential education in evolutionary theory and riveting in its telling.

Unhelpful framing devices (pilgrimage, chaucer, tales)
Winced at author's belief that not tracking race on government forms would end racism.
Interesting animal facts, leading up to information on the beginnings of life and what sort of animals are and are not likely to evolve elsewhere.
Could be better, but not bad.
