Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3
The more we ponder, the odder the world can seem. How do footballers get their shirt numbers? Why does having daughters make couples more likely to divorce? How do you move a horse from one country to another? What counts as a journey into space? The keen minds at the Economist contemplate all these questions and more in their quest for the globe's most extraordinary quandaries and conundrums, with bizarre facts and headscratchers that show the world is even stranger than we might have thought.

Bring back Nate and Kallie!

Quick way to find out about new things in science
Reviewed: 07-06-23
Love the chemistry between friends Calli and Nate whom are the hosts, Also, them going over and discussing current science topics.
While due to format, they don't go in depth on the topics, it is a great way to get enough about new topics to decide if you want to find out more.
Much more entertaining and enjoyable than trying to go alone to find interesting science topics!
It's almost like you're just sitting down with friends and discussing the topics.

I recommend for thinking walks.

I loved this book.
I listened while going for walks. Very inspirational. While I think it's main goal was to share big, world changing ideas and projects, listening to it while walking and mulling over projects in the back of my head, helped me come to solutions.
It also sparked some new ideas and projects for me.
Adams unflappable optimism and wonder made listening to these already fascinating topics, an utter delight.

Pilot X is Ambassador of the Alendans, a race with the ability to move through space and time as guardians of the timeline. Locked in ongoing conflict with the Sensaurians, an organic hive mind that can send messages in thought throughout its own history, and the Progons, a machine race who can communicate backwards in time, Pilot X finally manages to create peace among the three races.

I've been looking forward to this release since it was announced! First of his books with an Audible version. Loved all of his other works.
If you're on the fence to buy this, just do it, you won't regret it! <>
