Megyn is one tough cookie, anyone who lived the 2016 election can tell you that, but this book is just ok. I think it's fair to say that she may be stretching the truth to make herself seem better than she is, but she's hiding something. She's a right-wing feminist. She marketed herself as someone who can take the punches and hang with the guys. For an embattled Kelly, this maybe how she wants to define herself, show this off to her future family.
More of a conversation and jumping off book. Space exploration is meant to inspire, and after looking at man's previous accomplishments in space, like this book, you'll be inspired to reach for the stars.
I read this book before his political foray, and this book made me realize, the apathy and doomerism so prevalent in Mexican politics is here in the U.S. too. I now understand why so many people don't vote. A life of no ambitions, past triumphs washed away, but also their leaders, who have forgotten of those who played a critical role in westward expansion.
My first sci-fi novel in years and does this author scratch an itch with The Deep Sky. From the implications of escapism, the passage of time and space itself to international relations and its effects on others. A very gripping novel for me, starting with a bang, ending with one and the suspense and mystery in the middle.
It feels pretty generic for the genre, but nonetheless a pleasant coffee table read. The world building was okay, some of these characters feel like absolute children, never growing up from their mistakes. Luckily the action scenes were enough to keep me going.
Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb does a retrospective of the COVID-19 response by the United States. Lessons learned by this pandemic show that our political leaders view the world in rose tinted glasses, eternal optimists, instead of the DEFCON diplomacy game that it actually is. At worst every country should be prepared to go at it alone, but also to tell the truth and forthcoming about their shortcomings. Simply put, the US system does not have the tools to overcome the next pandemic at this moment. I recommend this book to inspire change in how our leaders should think about our health, a National Security and Economic doomsday scenario if things go south. We cannot risk foreign adversaries or nature to cripple the current U.S hegemony.
This book takes you places, as it turns out the people we most want to meet are deep within ourselves. This book is hard to put down, keeping the pace up, while going back and forth in time. You will feel this book.
This collection of poems really brings to light all the small little slights of hands that we face everyday or the ways that other people see us and hurt us, our confidence and our happiness. Even for a guy there were some in here that really resonated with me, from weight to under appreciated moms of the world.
“what is your beauty secret? She answers: hot lemon water every morning. She does not answer: time.”
Jeff Gordon created something very few drivers can ever dream of, a legacy. But how did he get here? Through a refinement of his natural gift, hard work and great people who pushed him, he made himself into a brand. Jeff was everywhere at his peak, a man who exuded charisma. With that, he had the balls to tell his boss, hire this Johnson kid. The rest was history, changing the sport as we know it into the modern era.
If you want an insight as to how warfare is changing this is the book. The author creates a framework in understanding how Automated, Semi-Autonomous, and Full-Autonomous weapons have played a role and are changing the way that warfare is conducted. For now, most military powers want to keep a human on the loop as much as possible, but as the speed of war changes, kicking the human out of the loop may come sooner than later.
This is a book is in a Genere outside my wheelhouse, but I saw the movie and didn't totally hate it, so I picked this book up. Is it a barn burner, no, is it totally garbage, also no. It's a pleasant, okay read with character flaws common for their age.
Yes, this book has a pro-life agenda, and that's nothing to take away from this book. More than anything this book is informative, i had never heard of this case until this book. It delivered, a gut-wrenching punch, to think he would be allowed to do this in America. A good springboard to learning more about the complicated history of this medical procedure.
A cautionary tale if you will. Respect and trustworthiness is earned, not given. At the dawn of the century, Galveston was looking like the place to be, but arrogance from the National Weather Service sealed the city's fate.
Galveston would be torn apart by scandal in American meteorology in an attempt not to cause panic, hand waving the knowledge Caribbean countries had of hurricanes and the insistance that a disaster couldn't happen here. Even Isaac, who was a brilliant met couldn't see the writing on the wall for the city he called home.
From time to time it's as if we have yet to fully understand the true power of Hurricanes, Katrina, Harvey, Sandy, just a few that caught America by surprise. After each, lessons learned, but not taken to heart.
