Review from 82 Days on Okinawa →
I didn’t like the conversational style of narration-too much emotional inflection, like somebody is telling you their experience, Distracting from the content. I gave up after a couple of pages. If you are interested in the history of the battle, don’t bother with this book.
Review from False Alarm →
Very good book! it is good to understand that climate change is a middle ground problem. loved reading it !
I enjoyed the book and gleaned a lot of insight into what reality vs fiction are. The book should be a 5 for the data alone. Unfortunately Bjorn has the same problem Steve Pinker does. They both like to arbitrarily declare things problems right after they explain why it’s really not. Very frustrating Nicky Pfreemarketsgreenearth.com

It is irrelevant what your upbringing and past might have been, reading this book will empower you to begin remembering and working through some of the hidden effects of Shame you never knew were there, and having negative effects on you today. as Dr Thompson says going through this process with a group of trusted..
I had to read this as an assignment and I could not get into it until about chapter 7. It was too clinically written for psychologists, I kept thinking. But then it starts to get more simply explained and I could pay more attention to what I was reading. The discussion questions are deep, thought..
Says the Japanese were firing a 155mm at the author from close range? They did not use 155mm And it’s strictly a long range cannon anyway. No artillery officer would imagine this First the author has a battery of 105 mm then it turns into 155mm, then back to 105. Battalion one? Try first battalion…
