this is a long read and I still have 25% remaining and #2 in the hold queue; scary and entertaining at the same time.

scary because in the fantasy land, we have presidents, law makers, supreme court chief justices, notable academics, surgeons, psychologists and even fringe-physicists; pretty much most people?

probably a must read for permanent residents and citizens of fantasy land, at least once!

depressing reminder of troubled asset relief and the deals between banking and the treasury

Been a delightful journey thus far.....

At Chapter 15 of 38..... Page turner for sure. Years later this book will easily be one of Rebecca's finest productions. I love the science, I love the story and I love the style of composition. Love, love, love it!

Leave the story telling to the Science writers (Rebecca Skloot). Fantastic start.

Tiring to read about dinosaurs like Cyrill Burt. On Pg312, there's a stereotype view of Burt, but nevertheless a powerful image of poverty in working class homes and it's effect on intellectual development of children. On Pg 313, the author quotes, "Burt regarded left-handedness as motor disability". LOL.

Not easy to read and it can be a bit tiring to read about, dinosaurs like Cyrill Burt.

consensus in... studies is... systems that make mass murder possible, require broad participation of society. Yet nearly all of the histories leave out half of those participants..., as if women's history happens somewhere else. It is an illogical approach and a puzzling omission. The dramatic stories of these women reveal darkest side of female activism", started Wendy Lower. Beautiful prose. Reminds me of Tony Judt

Goodness. Her English writing is indeed like a beautiful painting but in high def.

The move to Kazan spelled the end of Tolstoy's innocence. When he was fourteen he lost...... I was too sleepy.... to be continued....

Was intrigued by the title, and the author started by saying, transitions aren't covered by historians. Wanted to hear a perspective and so far, it is quite entertaining ;-)

Finally Upper Hudson Library System, got me their only kindle edition copy.
Love American Literature.... too sleepy to continue past page 10.

Absolutely love <3 American Literature.... but too sleepy to continue past page 10. Finally Upper Hudson Library System, got me their only kindle edition copy

Coffee and an engaging prose!

History of the business of pseudo-science continues!

In Ch5 the author talks about some monkeys innate sense of fear of snakes! I too have the same ;-) Like primates, apparently we can compute and comprehend food but not the currency. In Ch6, the author also argues that $700B for national defense & just $2B for national healthcare research is xenophobia :-P
