Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway by Jonathan Parshall & Anthony Tully
Best book ever on this crucial campaign, told from the Japanese side. Just finished: Hero of the Empire by Candice Millard Combination of a great adventure story and a history lesson. Highly recommended!

Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals are?
Hi,
I'm reading the French translation of the following book. Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? by Frans de Waal ISBN: 9781783783045 What separates your mind from an animal’s? Maybe you think it’s your ability to design tools, your sense of self, or your grasp of past and future—all traits that have helped us define ourselves as the planet’s preeminent species. But in recent decades, these claims have eroded, or even been disproven outright, by a revolution in the study of animal cognition. Take the way octopuses use coconut shells as tools; elephants that classify humans by age, gender, and language; or Ayumu, the young male chimpanzee at Kyoto University whose flash memory puts that of humans to shame. Based on research involving crows, dolphins, parrots, sheep, wasps, bats, whales, and of course chimpanzees and bonobos, Frans de Waal explores both the scope and the depth of animal intelligence. He offers a firsthand account of how science has stood traditional behaviorism on its head by revealing how smart animals really are, and how we’ve underestimated their abilities for too long. People often assume a cognitive ladder, from lower to higher forms, with our own intelligence at the top. But what if it is more like a bush, with cognition taking different forms that are often incomparable to ours? Would you presume yourself dumber than a squirrel because you’re less adept at recalling the locations of hundreds of buried acorns? Or would you judge your perception of your surroundings as more sophisticated than that of a echolocating bat? De Waal reviews the rise and fall of the mechanistic view of animals and opens our minds to the idea that animal minds are far more intricate and complex than we have assumed. De Waal’s landmark work will convince you to rethink everything you thought you knew about animal—and human—intelligence. I just finished the prologue and the first chapter. Maybe it's because I always was interested to observe animals... but I really like the de Waals' stories and observations. He introduces the profane reader in concepts that we probably already thought, but that we didn't deeply study. Like the concept of "Umwelt" described by German biologist Jakob von Uexküll, who explained that we have to think and understand, how a specific species feels or looks at the world, in the way to correctly interpret its behaviour.

If you like Bugliosi's book, try "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner. It goes pretty much by the same tack...shreds all the JFK conspiracy theories. I used to be a leaner towards a conspiracy until after reading Posner's book, and seeing a Frontline documentary, they both changed by mind on it.

Never give up!
Rousey
I saw this book at the bookstore and can't put it down. I'm a huge UFC fan and never knew how many obstacles stood in Ronda's way to her path to becoming a UFC champion. Amazing book!

Don't Be Shy: A Collection of Erotic Lesbian Stories
Don't Be Shy: A Collection of Erotic Lesbian Stories
This is my decadent pleasure for this month - a terrificy collection presented in a classy oversized almost textbook size paperback. There are stories to please femmes, butch, straight, bi, and the curious. You get romance, quickies, a little bdsm, some fluff, fantasy, MILFs, shy girls, co-workers, landlords/tenants, and just about everything in between. There are 30 stories in all. And there's even some artwork to go along with the stories. You get familiar authors like Harper Bliss, Sacchi Green, Andi Marquette, Jove Bell, and R.G. Emanuelle and some fresh newbies with sexy talent. I am so far not disappointed , and its enjoyable reading it in bed and seeing the wife's look of disgust on her face - perfect . |
