I dont like this book. But that may have more to do with the subject than the book.

The detail that completely flipped my perspective in Precalculus With Limits was how much of a famous disaster came down to people who were too embarrassed to speak up. Ron Larson leaned heavily on transcripts and survivor interviews, and you can feel it in the small, awkward moments, like a junior guy rehearsing a warning in his head and never saying it. The pacing dragged a bit in the technical chapters, which got heavy on diagrams and jargon. Solid pick if you're into how ordinary human hesitation shapes big events.

I would rather have a 12 gauge shotgun barrel lodged firmly in my mouth locked in a room full of pipe bombs and rabid squirrels than have the sheer misfortune of ever coming across this book again.
