Reviewed: 12-05-22

it ia an audio book. not a performance. one section of book seemed to have over three minutes of (usually bad) signing. who to blame? Author, performer, or director?

Reads like angry anti-fanfiction.

Reviewed: 07-03-18

Well written obvious fiction, clearly written in fit of rage and for those long for some other form of government.

It was entertaining to listen to, imagining the countless hours the author spent imagining all of his crazy conspiracy theories mixed with cherry picked facts, and dressing them up with $250.00 words when $0.10 words were readily available.

Sad that we don't encourage critical thinking in the public schools as much as when I attended.

It is also sad that an author who writes as well as this author does (really superb) couldn't use his skills for something better than providing fodder to those still reeling from Nov 2016 election. Providing fuel for their discontent isn't really going to have the intended effect.

I do recommend the book for those wanting to see a master of vocabulary.

Bragadocious, but he has a lot to be produd of

This is an interesting book, considering it is by our current president. It tells of several deals, obviously from the deal maker's own perspective, that required a good deal of finesse to make happen. Worth a listen whether or not you like Trump as your president.

This book is long and board.

Reviewed: 03-27-17

This book is long, the characters are not believable. It reads more like propaganda. Some of the characters have this leftist idealized point of view that pushes me from the story, and causes me to think about the obvious bias of the author, all while wondering why anybody would like this sort of story.

long and diminished production quality toward end

Reviewed: 10-14-16

The audio production quality is good but toward the end it got sloppy. Author is an obvious lefty but book is entertaining and writing style extraordinary so all in all I give it 3.5 stars.

Professor Goldman’s collegiate vocabulary, as well as his scientific, technological, and historic knowledge, and the manner he emphasizes certain important themes result in a very enjoyable set of lectures that kept me company over the course of a few weeks’ worth of commutes.
Professor Goldman’s work here, the fruit of obvious years' scholarship, cannot be compared to anything I’ve ever read or heard from any other author or professor.
The scientific literacy of Professor Goldman is deep in most areas and unbelievably broad. It is obvious that his not merely summarizing the summaries of science he has read elsewhere, but has delved deeply and thought about the implications of many specialized areas of science, and also how to explain the ramifications to an audience who may not be technical. I highly recommend this book for any student pursuing a BS, MS, or Ph.D. in the sciences--you will obtain a valuable perspective as your knowledge becomes more focuses on one specialty. Even if you are from the liberal arts, this great course will provide a more technical yet not overly technical perspective than you might find in another course.
While professor Goldman is technically a humanities/philosophy professor, his understanding of not only the philosophy of science, but the scientific methods, as well as scientific milestones throughout history and their significance, is much deeper than you might expect.
Very even handed in his narrative, professor Goldman does not shy away from the occasional controversy, for example, within science, and also sometimes between science and culture or science and religion. He does present all sides of the argument, without taking sides.
Lastly, while not explicitly, nor even implicitly as far as I could discern, an area of focus of this course, the role of western civilization in the development of science and technology is presented in a non-political manner. This course is neither politically correct, nor politically incorrect--it merely covers the topic at hand in an even handed and non-controversial manner.
