The Last Volunteer The Doomsayer Journeys Book 1 Audible Audio Edition Steve Wetherell C C Hogan Falstaff Books Books Reviews


  • The only novel I've actually read rather than listened to on Audible in over a decade. I was far too amused my Steve Wetherell's antics on Authors and Dragons and his first audiobook "Shoot the Dead" not to take the time to go ahead and read The Last Volunteer.
  • This my kind of humor. I’m reminded of Christopher Moore and Red Dwarf. I love the way the story bounces back and forth from past to present, from superman, Handen Strike to, well, not so super, Bip, who, despite his super deficiency, surprisingly lands on his feet.

    My first exposure to Wetherell was on Authors and Dragons. Yeah, every one of the authors would giggle at the word "exposure." *sigh* Funny group, so not surprised that this book was a hoot.
  • Well written, with a different view of a hero...or two. crossing both fantasy and science fiction, in a mixed up world. A who's who of myths an legends. Great conversation between characters. I like it!
  • Steve Wetherell presents an excellent yarn for the Comedic Science Fiction genre, a genre woefully underrepresented in the fictional field, except for a few standouts like Isaac Asimov's short stories filled with puns and, the giant whale in the field, Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

    The story satires gaming (both computer games and roleplaying), politics, criminal activity, education, the job market, weather, travel, and anything else which strikes Wetherell's fancy, while providing laugh-out-loud descriptions of people and places. Following our heroic hero Bip, and an anti-hero adventuring alien Hostility Advisor Haden, and a semi-sentient Massive Ball of Death, and the truly-sentient Answer to Everything, the Universal Theory, or just Ted to friends, and the rest of the erratic group of point-of-view characters, creates a kaleidoscope of improbabilities that become probable in their collective existence.

    As an editing note I am impressed with Wetherell's ability to blend three (or more) different timelines into a coherent narrative, using each of the POV characters to reveal more of the world/universe, develop characters, and drive the plot forward. All the while being funny.
  • I gave this novel five stars. Why? If my wife has to ask me to stop reading because my laughing is disturbing her Candy Crush game. That's a good indication your book should earn five stars. THE LAST VOLUNTEER made me laugh, and kept me laughing.

    THE LAST VOLUNTEER is about reluctant heroes setting forth with one set of expectations, and stumbling into wildly unexpected outcomes. And that's pretty much what happens to the reader, too. Our hero, Bip, is a lovable loser trying to find what he's good at. We follow Bip's epic journey of self-discovery, which includes trying not to get eaten or setting himself on fire. At the end of this soul-wrenching journey, Bip has a startling insight...he really isn't good at anything. Not that any of that matters, he still has to save the world.

    The novel opened with a spaceship in distress, and I felt sure I had landed squarely in a sci-fi spoof. But Wetherell kept changing the rules on me. He wasn’t playing fair and staying in his genre box. In Volunteer, he takes a dash of science fiction, mashes it together with some fantasy tropes (which he mercilessly, and delightfully, abuses), and then mixes it together with designer jeans and some dryly hilarious British humor. His style echoes faintly of Douglas Adams, and will appeal to any Hitchhiker's or Python fan. However, Wetherell's voice and delivery are unique. I lived and breathed this kind of humor in my high school and college days, which brings me to my next point.

    If, by chance, your girlfriend laughs while reading this book, marry her.

    Don't pick up The Last Volunteer with any preconceived notions and don't try to guess where it’s going. You'll just fail. Simply find a nice, quiet place to read it (preferably far away from any Candy Crush activity) and go along for the ride. Along the way, watch out for the krakens, don't talk to the sea gulls, read the hieroglyphs before you drink, and, please, be nice to the harpies.
  • I asked my husband how I could describe an author who is part "Douglas Adams, Robert Rankin, and part Jabberwocky. He looked me dead in the eye and said "Everybody who reads science fiction or fantasy that is even remotely funny compares the author to Douglas Adams". So there.

    He completely ignored my comparisons to Robert Rankin and Jabberwocky. I should have mentioned A Lee Martinez, but was afraid the sentence was too long. Steve Wetherell writes good science fiction/fantasy comedy. Does that work?

    I think my hubby is afraid of the Jabberwocky. And why is my biggest mirror suddenly cracking with cats hissing? Back into the Mirror, Jabberwocky, and unhand my beautiful calico.

    That's better. Here is some turkey you can eat. What do you mean, you have gone vegan? I want the cat's fur on the outside, please. Much better. See how kitty purrs when you do not harm her? Go ahead and eat my sunflowers. Then attack anyone who downvotes this review.

    Anyhow, sample lines from the book

    "It is called the Universal Theory, and once you get to know it, it is far friendlier than you might imagine. It prefers to be called Ted..."

    "Since the beginning of the planet's history, there had been an ever-increasing love of war. Nations had never been more content than when bombing the living hell out of other nations. Oodles of political time and money went inmto merely looking for excuses to have a war. War was good. Everyone knew where they stood with war. Even if it was usually in a bomb shelter."

    The series is addictive, and I found myself having to purchase the rest of the trilogy. Highly recommend giving this author a chance.

    *Note I was lucky enough to get a copy of this book as an ARC. However, I do my best to be honest, which may explain the Jabberwocky I just stuffed back in the mirror.

When Grandma Gives You a Lemon Tree Jamie LB Deenihan Lorraine Rocha 9781454923817 Books Reviews


  • I've excitedly anticipated this book's arrival on my doorstep and I am so in love with it. The bright and colorful cover is so inviting and is followed by art on every page that adds to the humor and heart of a fun story. My kids and I have loved studying the endpapers and interior art and talking about the details that add to the story. The high-quality design and production includes great printing on quality paper and satisfying spot gloss on the jacket. A real book-shelf treasure!

    Through the story and author's note, this book can be a great springboard for talking about the lemons in our life, and how, through hard work and the support of a loving community, we can turn them into...lemonade. This is one I won't mind reading to my children and students again and again.
  • I loved this book! With a light but beautifully effective and child-friendly touch, Deenihan conveys multiple messages. Don't be rude to Grandma when she gives you a birthday gift that is not on your carefully curated wish list. Take care of living things, in this case Lola the lemon tree. Have fun with what you've got- lemons! Put down the electronics. Share. You can make a difference.
    The main character, a little girl, has no name, so the emphasis is on her actions. The second person voice is engaging, speaking directly to the reader, involving you in the action. Grandma gets the story rolling and helps with the lemonade but the little girl is very much self-directed.
    The illustrations pair perfectly with the story and add extra layers. You see diversity and inclusivity in the neighborhood and you see the children putting down the robot dog, cell phone, drone, etc. and choosing to engage with one another in the beautiful garden. In case you didn't know, Deenahan and Rocha have another book on the way When Grandpa Gives You a Toolbox. Check the end papers at the back of ...Lemon Tree for a glimpse of Grandpa's truck pulled up at the curb.
  • You know you have something special in your hands when you read it over and over and can’t wait to read it again ! This book made me want to go out and buy a lemon tree for all the children in my life . What a wonderful story of family and love, made even more fun by the absolutely amazing illustrations. This will be a treasure in our home and shared with every child who walks through the door .
  • This debut book by Jamie L. B. Deenihan is hilarious and heartwarming. She takes the second person POV in an entire new level with a character and plot that's relatable and fun. The whimsical illustrations paired with carefully chosen words make this the kind of book you'll want to re-read. I also love how Jamie Deenihan expertly inserts the best kind of character arc-the MC goes from Lemon Tree skeptic to garden enthusiast in a satisfying progression that makes sense.
  • Adorable! It’s heart-warming, community-building, and funny all at once!

    What a great debut!
  • First off the colors of the cover are the first thing that draw you to the book! The cover is so colorful and inviting and who doesn’t love a story about gramma? Then you open the book and every page is filled with so much detail that you just stare at the pages and don’t want to turn to the next because you are afraid you might miss a small added detail! The story, what a fun and creative story! It is funny and an important life lesson especially today. To appreciate the little simple things in life because they can give you so much more fulfillment! Jamie and Lorraine made a great pairing on this picture book!
  • This story is delightful, funny and realistic. The art is adorable. One of best new picture books I've read in a while.
  • Love everything about this book. The voice is so fun/punchy and the illustrations of Grandma are terrific. I currently teach 3 year olds - the book feels a little too old for my class but I think it would work perfectly for 4-7.

Evidence of the Affair Audible Audio Edition Taylor Jenkins Reid Julia Whelan George Newbern James Daniels Dara Rosenberg Brilliance Audio Books Reviews


  • I didn't know what to expect from this book. I definitely wasn't expecting to get so engrossed in such a short book.

    Usually, short books to hold a lot of substance in them. This isn't one of those stories. Even with such a short length, it was a complete story. I would like to see the inbetween with the two couples; how they interact from day to day. However, that isn't what this short is about.

    The friendship that blossoms between these two unsuspecting characters is genuine and heartwarming. I was almost afraid to get to the end. I wasn't sure how the author was going to pull off a happily ever after considering...

    If you are unsure about whether or not to spend your money on this short story, please take my advice and do it. I don't think you will be disappointed. I am wondering if this a precursor to the author's next release. Maybe, maybe not. I will find out soon enough.
  • Usually when cheaters are discovered, there is so much anger and hatred and on occasion physical violence.
    This was a different take on how the cheated on responded.There was heartbreak and disappointment, but the spouse who were being cheated on took on a relationship themselves to cope with what was happening in their lives, which actually turned into an affair of sorts.
    The way in which the author presented the story in letter form was unique and eye catching. Reading the letters laid out what was happening in both of the relationships with the cheaters and the non-cheaters.I really enjoyed the book and I loved the way in which it ended!
  • Short and bittersweet a neglected housewife gets lured into an affair with a narcissist, who would have likely done the same to her in a year or so when the adventure, challenge and limerence wore off. I’m glad David and Janet stayed together—truly he had neglected her and women have needs people! Comparing the way Ken treated her to there way her husband ignored her... voila! Affair! Also glad that Carrie left that horse’s you-know-what Ken. How depressing would it have been had she stayed? Lived a fake life, a doctor’s wife, in Gucci and Prada grasping the arm of a man who’s a serial cheater and a narcissist—all that love-bombing... felt so real. Carrie going on and being a single mother shows bravery. Would have been easier to stay with her husband and in a loveless marriage “for the kid,” which ultimately ruins children. Great ending. Author writes great characters. Sadly, true to life. We see stuff like this all the time.
  • “It is funny the crazy things our brains make up to save us from the truth.” Told through a series of letters, Carrie and David become friends of sorts because of an affair between their spouses. It’s poignant and beautifully written and well worth the read!
  • Carrie and David, two people whose spouses are involved ln an affair, commiserate with one another through a series of letters. This is a short heartbreakingly True to life read. David had stopped paying attention to his wife and she sought excitement in another man’s arms. Ken, Cari‘s husband, showed little to no interest in his wife and made her feel unloved as well as unappreciated.
    Having lived through this situation the letters which Carrie and David wrote to one another and the copies of the letters the two lovers exchanged brought tears to my eyes and I found myself openly weeping.
    Reid has a talent for grasping emotions and throwing them out for others to experience.
  • Set in the 1970's, Carrie Allsop discovers her husband is having an affair through his correspondence letters in his briefcase. Feeling devastated, she writes to the husband of his mistress. An unconventional friendship forms as the two bond over their marital misfortunes. Now, as their friendship forms they question when and how this cycle will end.

    Once again, Taylor Jenkins Reid creates a masterpiece. This short story, written only in correspondence letters, is absolutely brilliant. Jenkins Reid expertly develops her characters creating a feeling of empathy and kinship towards the duo fallen victim to adultery. I found myself hoping they would begin their own love story. It seems like an impossible task to fully develop characters in such a short story, and in letters nonetheless, but Jenkins Reid did so effortlessly. This quick little story is no light and easy read, but full of love, friendship, and betrayal. Oh yeah, and the end- priceless.
  • I love all of Taylor Jenkins Reid's novels because I find that I do not just read them; I experience them. This short story is no different. I found myself feeling the different emotions of each character, and quickly placing myself in their situation and wondering what I would do.

Nine Pints A Journey Through the Money Medicine and Mysteries of Blood Rose George 9781250230683 Books Reviews


  • Anyone interested in the history of medicine and its applications will be riveted by Rose George's eloquent, well-documented, and often humorous description of the fits and starts leading to today's more-or-less sophisticated handling of our bodies' most vital fluid. Leeches for breast reconstruction in the 21st century? Yikes! Another chapter reveals the terrors of hemophilia in heart-rending detail for those of us who haven't encountered it personally. And folks who deal with menstruation as a routine, relatively stress-free part of life will thank their lucky stars when reading about the privations and persecution incurred by women in large areas of the world.

    Unfortunately, the version that I downloaded has a frustratingly marred format. The table of contents has no labels, and when you click on "Beginning" you are launched clear over to Chapter 4. One hopes these defects will be corrected in future downloads.
  • Having just read several outstanding medical history/subject books (The Poison Squad; The Remedy; The Microbe Hunter; Dr. Mutter's Marvels), I was looking forward to Rose George's "Nine Pints" and a discourse into the world of blood.
    The book starts out well with a chapter that introduces blood through Georges' own donation and follows up with an interesting chapter on the use of leeches in medicine, and the advent of the modern system of blood donation centers.
    Then the book falls apart. There are lots of inconsistencies and poorly worded paragraphs and statement.
    For example, a sentence in Chapter 5 reads "A total of 4,689 hemophiliacs in the UK were infected with HIV and hepatitis C, of whom 2,883 have since died." This sentence, based on a public report from 2018 revers to a cohort of hemophiliacs who received tainted clotting factors "....in the late 1970s and early 1980s....". The use of tainted blood is scandalous and criminal, the 61% mortality rate cited by George is misleading. Given that the mean life expectancy of hemophiliacs today is about 10 years less than for the general population (roughly 70 instead of 80 years in develop countries with good health care systems), the probability of a hemophiliac teenager to receive tainted clotting factor in 1980 to still be alive today is about 55% (the person would be in their mid- to late- fifties today). This rough calculation suggests that the tainted clotting factor increased mortality by about 15% - still scandalous and criminal, but less sensational and more factual.
    The need for a good editor is also apparent in Chapter 4 on HIV/AIDS in S Africa. An enlightened story indeed, but completely unrelated to the central tenant of the book. George is outraged by the reasons for high HIV transmission rates in Africa and a chauvinistic culture, but that has just about nothing to-do with blood. Chapter 5 can't decide if it is an indictment of for-profit plasma centers or a celebration of the success of clotting factors. Chapters 6 and 7 cover menstrual cycles and the abusive practices women have to endure during their menstrual cycle, but does little to link menses and blood physiology as one would expect. If these (and following) chapters seem disjointed, they pale in comparison to the hopscotch nature of individual paragraphs and even sentences throughout - did I mention there is a desperate need for an editor?
    The book lacks a central thesis that ties topics together, unless the central thesis is that many bad things are happening in the world and that some are tenuously linked to blood. Rose George, based on her excellent previous books, deserves a do-over have an editor actually work through the book with her, identify a central theme and then fact-check everything.
  • Overall I really liked the book. George's writing style is snappy and witty, and I love her opening. I learned a lot, and I have spent the last 30 years involved in the US and global blood community, as a parent raising a child with hemophilia, and have written books myself about hemophilia. I loved all the statistics, interwoven with real life stories of individuals. I appreciate the focus on the suffering and plight of those with hemophilia, who contracted HIV and hepatitis C. I know some of the people she quoted. George has highlighted some very important and crucial concerns plasma donation practices, cultural differences regarding blood. The chapter on leeches was so interesting! As I am involved internationally in helping patients in developing countries gain access to clotting factor, I was very interested in the global situations she presented, especially India and Nepal, two countries I have been to many times. Just one bone to pick I know the doctor she quoted who said in 2017 there wasn't a patient over age 18 in Islamabad, Pakistan with hemophilia. So not true! Maybe in 1998 but not now. I've been to Pakistan about 5 times over 20 years and actually helped establish the Islamabad chapter of their national hemophilia organization so I know these patients personally, and their doctors, for years. Mostly, I think the other reviewers hit the nail on the head. George gets sidetracked a bit, the book is too involved in some chapters and not enough in others, and I agree with the reviewer who said that the central theme is kind of missing. Each chapter kind of exists unto itself. But she covers a lot of ground! And I will be referencing this book on my blog. I hope there is an updated book in a few years, which can polish this up a bit. Overall I recommend it! And please read Douglas Starr's excellent book, "Blood."
  • it starts out interesting, with transfusions and leeches, but it has a very heavy middle, where she talks unendingly on menstruations in Indian women (2 chapters), too much for any book. Returns at the end, successfully. It is well written, though and interesting, except for the Indian women.
  • Bought this book because of great review by The Economist. However … I did not find it as interesting and informative as I would have liked. A couple of chapters were very good, but several were more human interest than scientific or historic. Though I finished the book, I did skip some sections and only skimmed others.
  • There was less physiology and more anecdote than I like in a book about blood.
  • Serious research on aspects of blood the average person doesn't think about, much less know. The mixology of historical, medical, philosophical and geographical differences and conditions is profound. "Blood money" is not just mafia/gangster slang and vampires apparently know something we don't. Great read to learn and appreciate what flows inside you 24/7 for life.

The definitive and easy-to-follow exercise guide for maintaining healthy, strong bones.

More than 25 million Americans, almost 10% of our population, suffer from osteoporosis. While it is often thought of as an old woman’s disease, about 20% of osteoporosis sufferers are men and a growing number of young women, especially athletes, are being diagnosed with the disease.

■ Targeted exercises for at-risk body parts including hips, spine, wrists, and ankles
■ All-new sections on improving balance and flexibility to help prevent falls and fractures

"If you are at risk for osteoporosis then it is important to understand that taking calcium and vitamin D supplements is only the start toward assuring better bone health. The right kind of exercise is another critical consideration. This book is certainly a useful tool. It provides some basic, concise information about the importance of exercise and how to complete these activities effectively. The majority of the book is dedicated to providing the many strengthening and flexibility exercises you need. The descriptions are generally easy to understand, but even for the ones that are more complex, there are photographs to guide you through each one. Of course, the books is only part of what you will need. The exercises often require equipment, like some simple weights, "theraband", a therapy ball, and so forth."

  • I have been using these exercises for years now, and realize that I have not written a review. The exercises are very well demonstrated. I like that they can be done without any special equipment and that three levels of exercise are provided - for osteoporosis prevention, for those with osteopenia , and for osteoporosis. After awhile, the exercises become routine, and it is possible to work through them without the book. I still refer back to it from time to time to make sure that I have not forgotten any, or that I am still doing them correctly. What I like very much is the section for keeping the skeletal frame aligned. That can be done as often as desired, and feels more like stretching exercises. Varying degrees of difficulty are presented making this useful for the less ambulatory (some can be done in bed or seated), to the very active and athletic ( using weights, resistance bands, more repetitions, and more difficult routines). I just purchased another copy for someone else. Also, I shared it with my trainer at the gym to show her what I should be doing. They do not always know, and this was helpful to her. Very pleased with the purchase. I keep it as a handy reference and it never goes to the bookshelf.
  • This is a wonderful guide to exercises which are done to prevent osteoporosis. The author has a master's degree in exercise physiology so she is well qualified to write this book. Some of the exercises require equipment like weights or a pilates ring.
    The only thing I didn't like was that she would often move from sitting exercises to floor exercises and back again which is a nuisance.
    I have been doing these exercises for three weeks and my muscles are happily sore.
  • Like many people who are diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis, I recived just about NO information from my doctor on how to improve bone health. It was just -- "take this pill and I'll see you at your annual physical." I was deeply upset that she had no information for me, provided almost no insight, and seemed vastly disinterested in providing any. I went out and looked for books to provide the information I needed. I found this book and couldn't be happier. In conjunction with Gillian Sanson's enlightening book "The Myth of Osteoporisis," this book should be in the hands of everyone who is interested in bone health.

    This is an absolutely fabulous book! Well laid out, exercises are easy to do, 2 each routines for those with osteoporosis, osteopenia, or no diagnosis of either. A GREAT segment on spinal alignment.

    This is a MUST HAVE book for every person who is interested in bone health. I liked the fact that although the majority of the exercises show a female demonstrator, her partner in some segments was male, and the demonstrator for spinal alignment is male. Men get osteoporisis, too.

    Wnderful book!! Highly recommended.
  • If you are at risk for osteoporosis then it is important to understand that taking calcium and vitamin D supplements is only the start toward assuring better bone health. The right kind of exercise is another critical consideration. This book is certainly a useful tool. It provides some basic, concise information about the importance of exercise and how to complete these activities effectively. The majority of the book is dedicated to providing the many strengthening and flexibility exercises you need. The descriptions are generally easy to understand, but even for the ones that are more complex, there are photographs to guide you through each one. Of course, the books is only part of what you will need. The exercises often require equipment, like some simple weights, "theraband", a therapy ball, and so forth.
  • You can take medication for osteoporosis but you need to get off the couch too. Working out and keeping your body active is what this book is about. No you do not have to be a workout fanatic. No the exercises are not too hard. This book helps you to build bone density and muscle strength with easy to follow exercise pictures. If you do have osteoporosis these exercises can help ease some pain too, plus you get moving and find yourself having more energy. Another plus about this book is it improves your balance. When you have osteoporosis you are especially concerned about falling and breaking a hip. I personally like this book because the workouts are easy and it has helped me improve my energy.
  • Good overall exercise manual for older women with or without bone density issues. So many exercise books/videos are either for the energetic younger woman or else for the opposite extreme of the fragile. This is for active women who want to be careful not to do harm exercising.
  • I recently (last 4 months) took a series of falls (I was 73 at the time--have a birthday today, am now 74) and took a twice a week, 5 week physical threrapy session which has helped tremendously with my balance and strength. It was recomended that I continue to do 10 exercises 3 times a week. I have a copy of the exercises, but this book gave me more detail about each and also offered other exercises I could do the other days of the week. The pictures and explanations are clear and concise. Thank Diane for her contribution.

The Havanese is a breed of dog that is a member of the Bichon typing. The breed is also commonly known as the ‘Havanese Cuban Bichon’ and the ‘Youcef Sorry.’ The Havanese originates from Cuba and is actually Cuba’s national dog. Like many other breeds within the Bichon typing, the Havanese’s progenitors are believed to have come from Tenerife. However there is a theory that the Havanese descends from breeds of dog from Malta, as there are ancient texts written by Aristotle that allude to a breed similar to the Havanese. During the Cuban Revolution, upper-class and middle-class Cubans fled to the United States, but few were able to bring their dogs with them. American breeders became extremely interested in the rarity of the Havanese as there were only 11 Havanese in America by the 1970s. Despite the interest in the breed, the American Kennel Club officially recognized the Havanese breed in 1996. In modern times the Havanese is employed mainly as a therapy dog, a tracking dog and an assistance dog (such as signaling for the hearing impaired) but the Havanese is mainly found as a household companion. The Havanese has a long, soft, lightweight, profuse and silky coat. The breed’s coat is slightly wavy. The Havanese has a double coat but is unique in the fact that its outer coat is neither coarse or overly dense. The temperament of dogs is normally affected by the following factors individual personality, heredity, training and socialization. It is therefore important to make sure that you meet the puppy’s mother before purchasing a Havanese. It is also important to make sure to thoroughly socialize your Havanese with strangers, children and other animals during its puppyhood. Generally speaking, the Havanese is easy to train, intelligent, loyal, empathetic and affectionate. The breed tends to take emotional ques from their owner the Havanese is happy and satisfied when their owner is happy and satisfied. The Havanese has a love for performing as they highly desire attention. The Havanese is happy to play outside and inside, but generally prefers being inside with their owners and should never be left outside overnight. As a whole the Havanese can happily and easily fit into any size household.

Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet. It is important to try and learn as much as you can about the animal you are considering to keep as a pet to make sure that your lifestyle, household and financial status are suited to provide your pet with the best possible care. This guide has been designed to provide you with both precise and concise information about a Havanese’s basic needs to help you provide your pet with the best quality care practices. This guide will give an in-depth explanation on training your Havanese, raising your Havanese from a puppy, grooming, health care and everything in between!

"The Havanese A Complete and Comprehensive Owners Guide to Buying, Owning, Health, Grooming, Training, Obedience, Understanding and Caring for Your Havanese," by Michael Stonewood is the perfect purchase or gift for a first time Havanese owner. This guide includes sections on caring for a puppy, breeding, health care, training, the basic cost of owning a Havanese and much more.

This book is the second edition – the first edition was published by ‘Dog Care Professionals.’

Renowned paleoartist John Gurche brings the traditional techniques of figure drawing and anatomical art to the portrayal of our hominin ancestors. The result is a visual record of the evolving human form that feels alive in a way no scientific illustration could match. While science provides an underpinning to Gurche’s art, his work’s primary purpose is to forge an aesthetic connection to the hominins that preceded us on Earth, capturing their humanity. With essays by leading authorities, Lost Anatomies carries the story of human evolution from apes and early hominins; to Australopithecus; to archaic Homo sapiens, including Homo erectus; to derived Homo sapiens, including Neanderthals and other species that are our most recent ancestors.

In Talking to My Daughter About the Economy, activist Yanis Varoufakis, Greece’s former finance minister and the author of the international bestseller Adults in the Room, pens a series of letters to his young daughter, educating her about the business, politics, and corruption of world economics.

Yanis Varoufakis has appeared before heads of nations, assemblies of experts, and countless students around the world. Now, he faces his most important―and difficult―audience yet. Using clear language and vivid examples, Varoufakis offers a series of letters to his young daughter about the economy how it operates, where it came from, how it benefits some while impoverishing others. Taking bankers and politicians to task, he explains the historical origins of inequality among and within nations, questions the pervasive notion that everything has its price, and shows why economic instability is a chronic risk. Finally, he discusses the inability of market-driven policies to address the rapidly declining health of the planet his daughter’s generation stands to inherit.

Throughout, Varoufakis wears his expertise lightly. He writes as a parent whose aim is to instruct his daughter on the fundamental questions of our age―and through that knowledge, to equip her against the failures and obfuscations of our current system and point the way toward a more democratic alternative.

Talking to My Daughter About the Economy or How Capitalism Worksand How It Fails Yanis Varoufakis Jacob Moe 9780374538491 Books Reviews


  • A must read to understand the economy, in simple terms. I have taken economics in college, and of course, we have all heard bout the 'invisible hand' of the market, and the law of supply and demand, etc. etc., but for most of us, this does not really explain (or make sense, frankly) what is happening. Prof. Varoufakis explains the reality so we can understand the problem, and possibly, know the way to solve the problems that beset us. Ignorance is not bliss; we need real facts and knowledge, and we need to know who the enemy of financial freedom is and how we can get out from under. When we read economics as taught to most of us, we read about how if supply exceeds demand, then the pendulum swings so as to correct this, but what does that mean to real people depending on wages to live and exist in our society? We must understand that ours is a system that is set up to enrich the rich, and extract from the rest of us. Until we understand this and then get it changed we continue to be slaves to our system and those who make the rules.
  • I have Yanis Varoufakis’ new book, Talking to My Daughter About the Economy, to thank for keeping me up all night reading page and page, to the early hours of the morning, unable to put this book down. Yanis Varoufakis is that rarest of writers who can make the subject of economics interesting. To say this book is a page-turner is an understatement, not because it is a thrilling read with action, but because it is just a beautifully written piece of literature. It is a contemplative work. In this book he attempts to answer the question, “How did we get into this mess?” In answering his question he is thinking through the answer on paper and the result is this book. His tone is pensive, his voice is muted, and his ideas are presented carefully and methodically. That question has been asked before, so his subtitle is “A Brief History of Capitalism,” which is functionally the same. He could have simply answered his question with, “The System,” but that would have been too easy and not enough. So what Varoufakis does is choose significant events in human development, compare those events with responses from other societies, all of which lead to the present economic system. He knows the answer to his question in advance of course — he is after all a leading economic theoretician — so he uses a literary device of answering that question in the first person to his fourteen-year old daughter. Brilliant! His real daughter may not be the intended audience of Varoufakis’ book and may or may not be genuinely interested in Varoufakis’ explanation of how we got here, but we are, because we are Varoufakis’ fourteen-year old daughter.

    I like to think of this book as “Marx Light” or “Marx 101.” The fact that the cover of this book is in a bright red cover is a tip-off right there. Not that there is anything disparaging about this remark. Better than any other economist, before or since, Marx understood the strengths and weaknesses of Capitalism and his works are read by the movers and shakers in Wall Street (along with Milton Friedman). Varoufakis wisely avoids names and labels in this work. The result is a thorough work which one would be hard-pressed to argue. You could still disagree with his methods or conclusions, but Varoufakis is a good writer and you will still be amazed at literary quality of this work.
  • Despite repeated attempts at self-education, I have remained a financial illiterate my whole adult life. Read any standard economics text and it will discuss supply curves and demand curves as if they were (usually linear) mathematical functions. Fine. Linear functions are easy to understand. The problem is that even these simple ideas don't give a true explanation of the economic world we lived in. Between May 19 and May 20, the demand for automotive fuels didn't really change, but the price will reliably take a jump. The slick, nearly mathematical texts just don't line up to reality---and you can take examples from almost anywhere. This is a clear book that gives a coherent introduction to the qualitative aspects of economics, something that any person could understand---even a financial illiterate. Is everything he says correct? I don't know. That's why I'm illiterate. Certainly it is not complete, but the ideas are coherent and give a reasonable foundation from which to begin to form a better understanding. This guy isn't the pompous idiot that most economists seem to be.
  • Varoufakis breathes life into the phrase, "if you can't explain something to a child, then you don't really understand it yourself" by turning it from a simple adage into practical application in this unambiguous book about capitalism and economics. His analogies and effort to make the reader understand the content instead of trying to patronizingly exert his knowledge over the reader makes this an engaging and very educational read.
  • Where was this guy when I was struggling to put my finger on what's wrong with the way economics is taught in U.S. colleges? The author provides fantastic historical perspective and excellent explanations of seemingly complex concepts in everyday language.
  • This is a great book that outlines how the economy works in pretty clear and simple terms. It was an enjoyable read and was interesting. Obviously, by the title, it was written with a young audience in mind, but anyone who doesn't have a lot knowledge about economics, but is interested in learning about it, would enjoy this book.
  • For me this book succeed in creating an introduction to the economics and how it is intertwined with our most pressing questions of the day.

    Even though I am teaching in an Asian country its questions and answers are equally relevant.
  • Brilliant book. Well written and fun to read which is a veritable accomplishment for a book on economics. Historical, mythological and literary references illuminate beautifully economic principles.

North Finding My Way While Running the Appalachian Trail Scott Jurek Jenny Jurek 9780316433808 Books Reviews


  • North - Such an amazing book by Scott and Jenny Jurek. Thank you for sharing your ups and downs, highs and lows, grit and tenacity to follow your dream! Thank you for not giving up and walking it in. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us.

    I followed Scott and Jenny on social media in 2015, when he was tackling the AT. I caught up with him in Duncannon, PA, and snapped this selfie on the run. I couldn’t wait for the book to come out and it certainly didn’t disappoint.

    If you are looking for a dose of inspiration, this book is some serious medicine. Scott shows the importance of not giving up on yourself and also how critical it is to surround yourself with others who will tell it to you straight. So many great takeaways and lessons from this book!
  • Scott Jurek is an inspiration ad always, but his wife is the glue that holds this whole book (and trip) together. I have nothing but admiration for them both after reading the story of how. Scott had always seemed like a superman. This story shows how human he is.
  • I have read the majority of ultra-endurance books for sale on . I loved Mr. Jurek's first book, but felt that it left me wanting for the raw details of his struggles during specific races. He gave some awesome training advice, packed the book full of vegan recipes, and detailed some of his greatest achievements. Yet somehow, it seemed impersonal or maybe immature ((not Scott himself, but the book (Eat & Run) as a whole)). But this book is on a totally different wavelength. I was gripped from the start, and looked forward to every evening after work so I could keep reading. I was riveted by the rawness of the story, and intrigued by how different the writing style and content was from Mr. Jurek's first book. This book opened a window into his personal life and struggle, and I felt like I was with him through the incredible test of endurance posed by the AT record attempt. This is awesome, as well worth your time if you have any interest in such things. My hat is off to Scott, this easily deserves to be called his greatest achievement yet (both in literary and endurance realms).
  • Easy read and pretty entertaining if you're a fan of Scott or the AT. The constant references to him being vegan and the last 25% of the book being anticlimactic gives it a 3.
  • The title says it all - this book chronicles Jurek's 2015 attempt at the Appalachian Trail FKT (fastest known time). He made the attempt with a tremendous amount of help from his wife Jenny and some friends. Every chapter ends with Jenny's point of view on things as well which provides not only interesting external perspective on Jurek but also some insight on the simultaneously monumental undertaking required to assist with an endeavor of this scope.

    He's an incredible athlete - it's amazing to what extremes he is able to push himself. I also found the book refreshingly honest from both Scott and Jenny's view points with regards to their struggles in life and the difficulties of tackling a very personal endeavor for them in an incredibly open, social-media way. If anything, despite Jurek already being so open and inviting, I think it just makes us all want to know even more about what's going on his life. He's just such a likable guy that you want to know more about all the gossip he alludes to in his books. This was a "criticism" some had about Eat & Run - we all wanted to know the nitty gritty of his divorce!

    Understandably, for a man who already shares and opens up so much, it seems he tries to balance this with his level of comfort as to how much he wishes to reveal. Nevertheless, being huge fans our gossip-mongering hearts always yearn for more. I honestly think a lot of us, myself included, just want to hear more from him about his divorce and how it affected him - to learn how a man with the capacity to endure the tempests of physical human suffering made it through what is generally a very devastating life event.

    I would give the book 4.5 stars if I could - the half star off solely because I continue to yearn to know even more about his life.

    Suffice it to say, I won't fault him for not going more in-depth, but I mention this all because it's possible, like me, you will read North and enjoy it and enjoy getting to know Scott Jurek, but you may also find yourself wanting even more depth and insight. It is otherwise an interesting read about attempting the AT (which I have never done myself). I did not realize what a harrowing challenge it is and the unique dangers of each portion of the trail.

    It has been a while since I read Eat & Run but I believe I enjoyed it a bit more (including the wonderful recipes at the end of each chapter). Of course that book and this are about two different times in his life. North is definitely motivational. No doubt that many pieces of it will play through my mind in the future to provide strength and inspiration during difficult times. Thank you Scott and Jenny for sharing this very personal endeavor with the world - both back then in the moment and now.
  • This book pushes home the point that to really push our limits and discover what we can achieve, we need to suffer. As a runner this is something I am reminded of every morning but Jurek pushed it to the limit. The interweaving of Scott and Jenny Jurek's perspectives is very entertaining. The trail stories could use a little more descriptive banter, but that may be because the author was somewhat delirious from his efforts!
  • It is a wonderful book. Interesting and exciting. I knew he had set the record but I couldn't see how it was going to happen! Great detail, but not too much. I started out listening to the audio version and I'm glad I had a chance to get a read on the personalies that way. However it was just too slow going. JLu is hard to understand for an aging male who is missing higher frequencies -)
  • I love this book. It kept me interested and gave me a nice spark of motivation to accomplish something great.
