Just reread this. I loved all the nuances the mini-series doesn't quite have. (Though it does have Colin Firth...) I read an annotated version, which I really liked for the explanations of phaetons, social cues of the time, etc.

actually it's the Chicago Press edition from 1984, black cloth with silver titles. The last chapter is entitled 'producing a world'. It analyses the process and the history of particular scientific facts. Demonstrating how did these theories and facts become facts. If you consider how the extraordinary and awful history of the science of climate change has developed in the public realm, how much clearer the whole process looks after reading the book. It's the process..the process

Wow. I heard about this book through Border's website. They had a shortlist of 5 books recommended by Stephen King (one of my favorite authors). The first book of his 5 was Angelica. I've never read any of Arthur Phillips books before, but the description made it sound interesting. So I picked it up. How to review without spoiling it...Not your every day ghost story. In fact, maybe not a ghost story at all. The book sets itself up nicely to have you guessing and second-guessing at every turn. The "unreliable" narrator is smartly used among the four main characters (each character gets his/her own section) to pull the wool over the readers' eyes and make you think (and rethink) your opinions of the plot and the characters themselves. Basically, after nearly dying several times to produce a child for her husband, Constance Barton finally gives birth to Angelica, despite almost losing her life in the process. Joseph Barton (husband and now father) must deal with the family as Constance starts to notice unnatural things happen to Angelica... What is real and what isn't?

Definitely useful. I appreciated the last two chapters on economic significance and world heritage sites.

I have read another book about the CIA. The Soul of a Chef. That author went through the entire year program. This is a 5 day cram course. Would love to go!

I dearly loved this audiobook, and consider it one of my favorite memoirs of all time. The author's honesty, humor, and insight into the behavior of the various tribes he encountered and lived among in Africa, as well as his keen eye for poignant detail, make this a real, visceral experience. You feel like you lived through it yourself, with all the new and puzzling smells, sights, sounds, plus the shocks to the system, betrayals, and corruption. It is overwhelmingly different in every way than life in the USA (or Australia, where I live now). The amazing life of the baboons is wonderful, too, but not really the entire focus of much of the book. I now want to find and read everything Sapolsky has ever written, as I have a profound respect for him, as well as affection and trust in his perspective.

Just went and read this one quickly because I really liked "Unspoken" in the girls series. If anyone is looking for something brief and powerful but not requiring oobers of neurons gotta read these!

Toussaint L'Ouverture in his own words This book contains letters and proclamations of Toussaint L'Ouverture which date from the very start of the revolution in San Domingue (Haiti) right up to the time of his imprisonment. Toussaint was known to tire out entire teams of staff who worked on producing his correspondence and it wasn't unusual for him to dictate 300 letters in a single day! So this represents just a small selection of the many he would have produced during his career. He has had his fair share of criticism, as some of his actions were to cost him support from his power base and would ultimately lead to his demise at the hands of the French. But from the famous proclamation of 29 August 1793, where Toussaint introduces himself as L'Ouverture in the great cause of "liberty and equality", to letters sent to Bonaparte during this imprisonment in France, one can only be impressed by his intellect, political astuteness, military genius and commitment to the cause of freedom for all. The introduction by the former Haitian president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, provides a summary of the life of Toussaint and attempts to bring into focus the legacy that he left behind. Included in this work is the Haitian Constitution of 1801 as well as letters written by Bonaparte to Toussaint. There is Bonaparte's telling analysis of the events of San Domingue from St Helena where he was in exile. He reflects on the folly of what he did which were against sound politics and resulted in the French losing almost all their holdings in the Americas. Overall this is definitely worth reading especially for those interested in the revolution that was fought to make all free and to understand more about the man who was one of its key architects.
Not a favorite. Pretty depressing.
