Very interesting take on the history of human kind. I am not sure that I agree with all of his assumptions but a fascinating read none the less.

Excellent concise biography of Vincent Van Goth written by a gifted painter and author. I have been fascinated by Van Gogh since high school French class. I had the good fortune to visit the Van Gogh Museum in Holland in 1979. I would love to go back and linger as an older and possibly wiser observer. Recommended.

First published in 1972 this book was way ahead of its time in exposing the risks of sugar in our diet. Even though his work was dismissed at the time research in the past decade has validated his concerns. on practically every point.

Nice read about the French approach to healthy living enjoying food and enjoying life. Recommended.

Just started. Looks interesting.

Excellent read. As long as individuals are free to exchange goods and services and most importantly ideas the future looks bright indeed. Human progress is from the ground up and evolutionary and will continue unless encumbered by needless bureaucracy and meddling by those in power. Also illustrates how a libertarian philosophy is the most inherently optimistic viewpoint.

Nice book. Takes an objective even handed look at diet and nutritional science. Very well done. Recommend.

Just started...fun read so far.

Excellent review of the history of nutrition science and policy over the last 100 years demonstrating how what we have been told and how the recommendation to reduce total fat and saturated fat in particular in our diet has been based more on politics and professional egos than basic science. Highly recommended reading.

Fascinating book about the history of Tyson Foods and the industrial takeover of the meat industry since the 1960s.

Fascinating book on the enigma in quantum physics discussing observer dependent reality and the related implications regarding the interaction of consciousness. and reality. Really cool stuff.
