Historia4 out of 5 stars 14
Twelve thousand years ago, when the glaciers melted, the level of human sentience mysteriously surged. After millions of years of slow and steady growth, it's as if a light switch had suddenly been thrown. Was it extraterrestrials, gods, or supernatural beings that lit that spark? What if that ancient knowledge and those helping hands that lifted us out of the darkness of our caves and into the light of our easy chairs were closer to home?

This series is just another regurgitation of the climate change scam.

The Sky is Falling!
Revisado: 07-14-23
It’s a good story in-spite of the frequent advertisements for the Global Warming Hoax.
The seas are not rising,
The planet is not warming.
Some glaciers are shrinking, others are growing.
Man has had no effect on climate that is not overwhelmed by each and every volcanic eruption.
No Climate Change Clown has ever been right about anything, ever!

After some long and perilous journeys, Menedemos and Sostratos finally head back to Athens just in time for the Dionysia, a bacchanalian festival of plays and celebrations. Like earlier installments in the series, Owls to Athens has the cousins going through various adventures, trade negotiations and sexual escapades, all set against a finely painted mosaic of Hellenic life in the fourth century BCE.

From the creation of the first encyclopedia to Wikipedia, from ancient museums to modern kindergarten classes—this is Simon Winchester’s brilliant and all-encompassing look at how humans acquire, retain, and pass on information and data, and how technology continues to change our lives and our minds. Throughout this fascinating tour, Winchester forces us to ponder what rational humans are becoming. What good is all this knowledge if it leads to lack of thought? What is information without wisdom?

Mr. Winchester, in his discussion of nuclear energy, leaves out the benefits of the technology. He forgot all about the millions of Japanese lives saved by ending the most terrible war in world history. And what about millions kilowatts of electricity generated by nuclear power plants?

They tried to kill or capture Yozef Kolsko. The possibility that Caedellium could have peaceful years going forward is refuted. The key is bringing down Narthon. But how? Caedellium is too small, despite innovations by Yozef Kolsko (Joseph Colsco) and Mark Kaldwel (Caldwell), humans cast away on the planet Anyar. Allies are needed. Campaigns to be planned. Risks to be taken. For Yozef Kolsko, it means assuming roles he never imagined or believed himself capable. Anyar will never be the same.

From the massively popular podcaster and New York Times best-selling author comes the story of the Marquis de Lafayette's lifelong quest to protect the principles of democracy, told through the lens of the three revolutions he participated in: the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Revolution of 1830.

Thank you, Mike.

July 12, 1939: Perry Nelson is driving along the palisades when another vehicle swerves into his lane, a tire blows out, and his car careens off the road and over a bluff. The last thing he sees before his head connects with the boulders below is a girl in a green bathing suit, prancing along the shore.

Such a system never works in the real world. Read any of the similar stories written in the 1930s by Socialists.
It is a wonderful idea but it just can’t work.
