Most all of us are probably familiar already with its most famous and iconic moments, but that does not mean there are not still fresh insights to be gained by reading the story straight through.
On Physics Review
With our hydrogen masers, particle accelerators, astronomical observatories, mass spectrometers, laser interferometers, and gravitational wave detectors, we have never had better tools with which to seek a superior understanding of the cosmos. On Physics is a reminder to use our original tool: our minds.
Path of Daggers Review
One of Jordan’s strengths, which I am noticing more in this reread, is that he is able to drop in events in earlier books which seem like they may not go anywhere, which then become significant multiple books later.
The Faerie Queen Review
I almost gave up after finishing the first book, but there were enough elements that intrigued me to continue into the second, and I’m sometimes a little stubborn, so I pushed on. I’m glad I persevered.
Some Thoughts Concerning Education Review
Given my interest in education, his Some Thoughts Concerning Education stood out for reading, and I finally picked it up as one of my inter-Wheel of Time reads, fully expecting it to be as insightful on the topic of education as Two Treatises were on governance. Instead, I barely convinced myself it was worthwhile to finish skimming it.
The Zombie Apocalypse Guide to 3D Printing Review
The Zombie Apocalypse Guide to 3D Printing is a basic book in many respects, but it is packed with practical details, and it’s the sort of book that will sit by my home lab setup so that I can reference it when I’m doing actual design and 3D printing. If you’re looking for a place to start with 3D printing, this would be a solid option with 98% infill.
A Crown of Swords Review
While being manipulative has a negative, scheming connotation, it is an inevitable byproduct of how we interact with each other and the diverse goals we all have in those interactions.
Streams of Living Water Review
Any time Foster is at risk of plunging deeply into knotty philosophical or theological issues, he deploys an exclamation that amounts to avoiding deeper thinking by repeating an emphatic “God is great!” as a solution and answer to any further questions.
Genesis Review
It probably sounds terribly sacrilegious, but the God in Genesis feels like a God who is sort of figuring things out as He goes.
Prose Edda Review
At a glance, the Edda is not so different from other mythologies, like those of Greece, Egypt, Sumer, and so forth. A glancing view, though, is really a way of looking at a subject through the lens of a previous understanding, rather than acquiring a new and independent understanding of the subject.
