Lots of great stuff, huge insight, very relevant. As a strong conservative, the author took a credibility hit with me when she took a left-wing political stand, even to the extent of seeming to appreciate a person's admiration of Mao. But she seems to ...more |

Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?:
"I cannot give this book less than three stars because it contains lots of totally fascinating information about animals - the greater and lesser apes, whales, octopus, fish, birds and elephants for example. The author is a Dutch primatologist and eth"

Butler to the World: The Book the Oligarchs Don't Want You to Read - How Britain Helps the World's Worst People Launder Money, Commit Crimes, and Get Away with Anything:
"Cui Bono? Or The Butler did it?
If I don't do it, somebody else will." “Boiled down to its essentials, finance always does the same thing: it takes money from people who have it but don’t need it, and gives it to people who need it and don’t have it, " Read more of this review » |

“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”

“Now imperfections and venial sins cannot take away the life of grace, for that can only be lost by mortal sin; it only remains, then, that they should not cause us to lose courage. Deliver me, O Lord, said David, from pusillanimity and discouragement. It is a happy condition for us in this warfare, that we shall always be victorious, provided that we are willing to fight.”
