Race to dakar charley boorman5/24/2023 Our (or at least his) hero gets massive help and support thrown at him which he barely deserves. Highlight is the run down of his acting career and the classic comment that he got his biggest role when 'the casting people didn't realise I was the Director's son'. No doubt tears were shed in the Gaza Strip, the favelas of Rio, etc that one man should endure so much. The early pages are full of the wonderfulness that is Charley Boorman, with compulsory whinges and whines sprinkled liberally amongst the anecdotes the sheer hell of being a builder in London for example. Well I got to page 133 before abandoning the thing and I very rarely don't finish a book. but the subject matter appealed and surely it wasn't an event where childish behaviour could intrude. Although I was a lot less than impressed with his televisual style I enjoyed 'Long Way Round', admittedly sometimes despite his puerile input. Well, Dave Blendell really didn't like this book.ĭespite my total antipathy towards Mr Boorman I picked up a copy of his 'Race to Dakar' book in a local charity shop. Some times we're asked if we ever review anything we don't actually like.

Peach blossom spring melissa fu5/24/2023 Spanning continents and generations, Peach Blossom Spring is a bold and moving look at the history of modern China, told through the story of one family. How can he keep his family safe in this new land when the weight of his history threatens to drag them down? Yet how can Lily learn who she is if she can never know her family's story? Though his daughter is desperate to understand her heritage, he refuses to talk about his childhood. Years later, Renshu has settled in America as Henry Dao. Relying on little but their wits and a beautifully illustrated hand scroll, filled with ancient fables that offer solace and wisdom, they must travel through a ravaged country, seeking refuge. But with the Japanese army approaching, Meilin and her four year old son, Renshu, are forced to flee their home. It is 1938 in China and, as a young wife, Meilin's future is bright. "Within every misfortune there is a blessing and within every blessing, the seeds of misfortune, and so it goes, until the end of time."

Good Thinking by David Robert Grimes5/24/2023 Grimes’s expert takedown of irrationality is required reading for anyone wondering why bad thinking persists and how we can defeat it. Rather, it’s to interrogate our own assumptions–to develop our eye for the glimmer of truth in a vast sea of dubious sources–in short, to think critically. But his purpose in Good Thinking isn’t to shame or place blame. Scientist David Robert Grimes is on a mission to expose the logical fallacies and cognitive biases that drive our discourse on a dizzying array of topics–from vaccination to abortion, 9/11 conspiracy theories to dictatorial doublespeak, astrology to alternative medicine, and wrongful convictions to racism. In our ever-more-polarized society, there’s at least one thing we still agree on: The world is overrun with misinformation, faulty logic, and the gullible followers who buy into it all. Publisher’s Note: Good Thinking was previously published in the UK as The Irrational Ape. Good Thinking is our best defense against anti-vaccine paranoia, climate denial, and other dire threats of today

Sas rogue book5/23/2023 The result is an exhilarating tale of fearlessness and heroism, recklessness and tragedy of extraordinary men who were willing to take monumental risks. It has opened its secret archives for the first time, granting historian Ben Macintyre full access to a treasure trove of unseen reports, memos, diaries, letters, maps and photographs, as well as free rein to interview surviving Originals and those who knew them. Now, 75 years later, the SAS has finally decided to tell its astonishing story. So began the most celebrated and mysterious military organisation in the world: the SAS. Despite intense opposition, Winston Churchill personally gave Stirling permission to recruit the toughest, brightest and most ruthless soldiers he could find. From the secret SAS archives, and acclaimed author Ben Macintyre: the first ever authorized history of the SAS 'Impeccably researched, superbly told - by far the best book on the SAS in World War II' - Antony Beevor In the summer of 1941, at the height of the war in the Western Desert, a bored and eccentric young officer, David Stirling, came up with a plan that was radical and entirely against the rules: a small undercover unit that would inflict mayhem behind enemy lines. |
