2.5 stars. There were some interesting stories, but the second half of the book didn't hold my attention very well.
the first half was very sad but good to read

This book is a great look at how our views on dying and medicine have changed, not necessarily for the better. It makes you contemplate your own mortality and that of those around you.
5 stars for challenging me to think deeply!

This is an interesting look at educational systems around the world and what the biggest factors in student learning is (as defined by pisa scores). Interestingly it is not dollars spent.
It also looks at the warts of even the best systems.
Overall a good book, but ironically I zoned out for pays

I was disappointed with this book. I hoped it would be more about his scientific accomplishments, ideas of the compatibility between science and religion, but it was mostly said he liked and was devoted to both.
This is a good book if you are already familiar with dr. Eyring and want to learn more of his life and personal experiences.

A fascinating look at where we've been and where we could potentially be as a species in the future from a highly respected physicist/string theorist
3.5 stars. I really liked this book, but I found the the first 1/4 very boring. Or was about securing funding, how Shackleton chose the crew, etc.
Once they got to Antarctica, things really picked up. Mawson is my favorite Antarctic explorer, so I want sure how much I'd like a book about Shackleton, but it was amazing learning about everything they weren't through. The human will to survive is amazing.
The physical suffering they went through is almost incomprehensible. This was a very good book. 4.5 stars if not for the first part

A 5 star taking from me means it has changed my life/outlook and that I think everybody could find value in this book.
This is the best Ramsey book I've read work many ideas for how to raise good kids - the principles taught apply to much more than money. I don't agree with everything the Ramseys say, but I can't argue that all the advice is sound. I'd recommend this book to everybody!
