![]() ![]() This is a great book if you want to see how the various scientific disciplines interact and want a high-level overview featuring all the big historical figures throughout science. The book he has written justifies his view, and makes the word of science seem like an interesting, bright and often mind-blowing world of its own, that we can understand. The book also confirmed which subjects I'm most excited about in science (physics and chemistry) and which I'm less excited about, simply by the level of attention and excitement I had for the various chapters. ![]() My biggest takeaway was that there is still so much we don't know or understand about how our world works and how we got here today. I liked how the book set out a lot of difficult questions that the author pondered initially and which inspired his search for answers. The true subject of the book was the history of science and our understanding of the world from a scientific standpoint: the Big Bang, physics, chemistry, genetics, biology, and geology. I enjoyed the book, but It definitely wasn't short and it definitely didn't cover nearly everything. I just finished reading A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. ![]() ![]() to Svitolina) reached 2r eight times (incl.

It is the perfect prison, get outside the underground warrens and beyond the air locks and you’re on the moon. The Moon (Luna to it’s residents – who call themselves Loonies) has been a penal colony for decades. Told from the first person recollection of a computer technician (with thick Russian accent) and of the birth and progress of the Lunar independence. This is a virtuoso science fiction futuristic re-telling of the American Revolution. ![]() I liked the setting, the use of libertarian principles and of course the brilliant work of the Grandmaster himself. And just as The Fountainhead is the better, though less epic, of the pair with Atlas Shrugged, so is Moon is a Harsh Mistress, the more focused and simple of the two, better than Stranger in a Strange Land. Heinlein vehicle for theology, so is Moon is a Harsh Mistress to ideology. As Stranger in a Strange Land was a Robert A. When I first read this years ago I loved it, I could not put it down. My three favorite books of all time are (in no order) Heart of Darkness, The Dispossessed, and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
