Story4.5 out of 5 stars 61
Einstein's steadfast refusal to accept certain aspects of quantum theory was rooted in his insistence that physics has to be about reality. Accordingly, he once derided as spooky action at a distance the notion that two elementary particles far removed from each other could nonetheless influence each others propertiesa hypothetical phenomenon his fellow theorist Erwin Schrdinger termed quantum entanglement.

Really great book. I listen to a lot of physics books and lectures. I almost stopped half way through because it gets a little slow when Alice and Bob start their experiment. I’m really glad I stuck it out because everything comes together. If you are really interested in learning about teleportation you will not be disappointed. I also named one of my chickens Professor Quantinger.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

OMG love this book
Reviewed: 05-30-21
The book is so good good good. I had read The Martian before the movie came out and I wasn’t sure if this book would be as good. Man it was so good. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten so invested in a story. I didn’t want it to end and I’m sad the book is over. Had me cracking up laughing and other times holding back tears. Sometime when I’m figuring stuff out in my head at work I start talking in Rockys voice lol. The science aspect of it is really interesting too and gets your mind going. Anyways don’t think twice about getting this book :)

Both a captivating narrative and a book of environmental and historical significance, American Buffalo tells us as much about ourselves as Americans as it does about the creature who perhaps best of all embodies the American ethos.

Great info on the history of the American Buffalo. I like the way he broke it up going back and forth from his hunt and path learning the Buffalos history. I listened to a lot of it while sitting in a deer stand. I've watched all Steve's shows and he's really the only hunter I enjoy watching on TV. His Philosophy and attitude towards hunting is much like mine and he gets me out the door and into the woods on days I'm not feeling up to it. Also check out his cooking videos. I still hate the deer liver but I'll try again.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,474
Coyote America is both an environmental and a deep natural history of the coyote. It traces both the five-million-year-long biological story of an animal that has become the "wolf" in our backyards and its cultural evolution from a preeminent spot in Native American religions to the hapless foil of the Road Runner. A deeply American tale, the story of the coyote in the American West and beyond is a sort of Manifest Destiny in reverse.

Early on in his life, Matt craved a return to nature. When he became an adult, he set aside his comfortable urban life and lived entirely off the land. In this riveting narrative that brings together epic adventure and spiritual quest, he shows us what extraordinary things the human body is capable of when pushed to its limits. He learns the secrets of the Tarahumara Indians, which help him run the 1,600-mile Pacific Crest Trail in just 58 days and endure temperature swings of 100 degrees.

Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.
