This book is a perfect case study of how paleontology has evolved throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. It is imbued with plenty of science for a lifetime but also a historic timeline to put the events of the discovery of the Burgess Shale into perspective. It details the biases early paleontologists had because of the society surrounding them and how they had to break free from the idea that species from this time period were simply primitive ancestors to modern day phyla as opposed to the reality that they were their own thing entirely and in terms of body plans, as time went on diversity decreased when it was previously assumed it increased.

The book Missoula by Jon Krakauer is a powerful book describing the terrors of 🤬 and sexual assault on the campus of the University of Montana in Missoula. The three women whose stories are expressed in this book have uniquely different and intense stories to share, but with similarities such as the treatment and guilt they experienced. The book also dives into the ways that these women had to deal with the legal system while also addressing the terrible thing that happened to them, the legal system in some cases is very positive for these women while other times detrimental. These girls are raped by primarily football players on the well beloved Grizzlies team of the D1 University of Montana football team. Their stories stress victim blaming, trauma, and 🤬 culture. It also emphasizes that the things that these women have gone through are not unique. The stories are incredibly graphic, but I do believe that this is an incredibly important text that discusses themes that are not widely discussed. The stories in this book have had an incredible impact on me. I have never found myself quite as enthralled in this book as I did while reading this book.

John Deere invented the self-scouring plow and made plowing quicker for farmers, this was considered the prime age of farming and this is when John Deere earned its reputation of high quality. This book focuses not only on the company, but also the lives of the Deere family and the other rival brands. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the history of the agriculture revolution, but overall this book is easy to pick up and learn from in a creative way.

This book follows a small group of doctors and scientists, like Dr. Charity Dean. They predicted the covid-19 pandemic and tried to stop it, but faced slow systems and political obstacles. They pushed through and tried to make a difference despite these challenges. This book analyses how government preparation impacts the effects of COVID, and how bureaucracy can be a barrier to good ideas. This book was fun to read and made me wonder what could've happened if the U.S handled the situation differently.

In ¨Seeking wisdom from Darwin to Munger¨ there are many topics written in the book. but i specifically read it for the human behavior sections. just from my reading i have learned more about how people act than the 16 years of life i have lived.

Shackled by Candy J. Cooper is an illuminating novel that uncovers the darker undertones of the American Justice system.

I would rate this book a 9.67/10 for it's amazing backstory but at times it is harder to understand, which is why it's not a perfect 10 for me.

"In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote. I think this book is a really well written true crime and non fiction novel because the way Capote illustrated the details in the book are very impressive. The whole novel is so vivid, you can easily imagine the scenes due to the detailed text whether it was about the murder or the trials. The way Capote showed both the killers perspective and psychology and also the investigation details of the police is really well written.

With this skill, you can think more like a scientist, who always searches for constructive feedback and tries new things. You can also learn how to help others think again by debating instead of arguing. And finally, you can build communities where rethinking is a common practice by questioning each other's work and providing solutions.

Former boxing legend Muhammad Ali, one of the best-known and best-loved celebrities and an international goodwill ambassador, offers inspiration and hope as he describes the spiritual philosophy that sustains him.“During my boxing career, you did not see the real Muhammad Ali.

I have embarked on a journey of love.” So Muhammad Ali begins this spiritual memoir, his description of the values that have shaped and sustained him and that continue to guide his life. In The Soul of a Butterfly the great champion takes readers on a spiritual journey through the seasons of life, from childhood to the present, and shares the beliefs that have served him well. Ali reflects on his faith in God and the strength it gave him during his greatest challenges.

As a United Nations Messenger of Peace, he has traveled widely, and he describes his 2002 mission to Afghanistan to heighten public awareness of that country’s desperate situation, as well as his more recent meeting with the Dalai Lama. Ali’s reflections on topics ranging from moral courage to belief in God to respect for those who differ from us will inspire and enlighten all who read them. Written with the assistance of his daughter Hana, The Soul of a Butterfly is a compassionate and heartfelt book that will provide comfort for our troubled times.

This is a fascinating book about a reporter narrating his journey. He is investigating the life of Felix Hoenikker, a fictional character, the father of the atomic bomb, loosely based on Robert Oppenheimer. Part of the reporter's objective is to interview each of the children of Felix Hoenikker, one of which lives on a mysterious island called San Lorenzo. Before Felix Honenikker's death, he invented a compound called Ice-9, which can turn a whole body of water into ice instantly. Which is very dangerous because it could freeze the whole ocean. He gave samples of Ice-9 to each of his children. And the reporter's objective is to find this Ice-9 and destroy it. This book is very slow-paced at first, and more thrilling at the end.

I would recommend this book to people who are into love triangles and romantic books, but also people who like books that over look the teen perspective of life. This book brings you through so much emotion, sadness, anger, love, grief. It's also good if you like books about trust friendship and family.

The Crossover is a perfect start-off book, it can be easily accessible, a common book, if you want something easy but good to read this is the perfect book, It is not too long and reads pretty fast, you can read it on the go, at home, anywhere. Crossover in my opinion is an excellent book that states famous people, etc, and is just easy for me to read which was nice, Kwame Alexander uses ways to hook in the ready so you stay and it hooked me in so that I carried on reading all his other books which were also really amazing.

I would recommend this book to anyone that love Wattpad stories! It follows 2 perspectives of a girl and a boy that grew up in rich families and are now being forced to marry so that the girl's father doesn't kill the boy's brother. Throughout the book though they fall in love with each other.

I would definitely recommend this book, it quickly became one of my favorites. It's about an 18 year old girl named Sunny who was previously in a Kpop group but they broke up after they suffered a loss. She goes to a Kpop workshop and a girl from her past girl group and her past comes back to haunt her.

I love this book because it talks about fame and the music industry and has an element of horror in it, which are two things that I enjoy very much. This book also has LGBTQ+ characters and relationships which is something I really resonate with. I have never read anything like this before and I think the storyline and themes are very fascinating. It was very creative and moved at a perfect speed.

One of the most interesting things about this book was the characters relationships with each other, specifically the relationship between Sunny and Candie, the other member of her old girl group that she ended up at the workshop with. There relationship is very complicated and I enjoyed reading about it a lot.

Milk and Honey is a good book. It's a book of all poems but they're all about poems of personal experiences, love, and loss. Each chapter in the book is divided into every topic and it talks deeply into the situations and it makes people realize that people have actually experience some stuff that makes a person feel like they aren't normal anymore. It speaks about how the real world really is.

This book is really fun to read I would recommend reading it. This book is about John Lewis, a former Congressman, and about the early moments of his life, childhood, and the upcoming of becoming a congressman. He was born in Alabama to two parents who were sharecroppers. He faced a lot of racism and hate growing up. He loved sharing time with chickens on his farm while also being tasked to take care of them. As the book keeps going it unfolds, he expresses his awareness of social injustice inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.

Words of Radiance is the second book in a five-part series that is still being written. This book follows Kalidan Stormblessed, the former slave turned captain for the most powerful man in all of Roshar, and Shallan Davar, a scholar, traveling with a new companion. The author, Brandon Sanderson, does an amazing job world building, he describes every scene so vividly it feels like you are there. The magic system in this series is also extremely unique, with elemental and emotion spren, and magic blades that rip the soul out of any living thing it touches.

Even though this series is a massive thing to take on, with each book over 1000 pages. It is one of the most well-written stories I have ever read, and I can't recommend it more.

After escaping an abusive relationship and navigating a messy divorce, Lily is beginning to find a rhythm in her new life. That is until she bumps into Atlas on the street and things become complicated all over again. Lily likes Atlas, loves even, and wants to start a relationship with him, but her past is ever present. Atlas wants to pursue a future with Lily but an unexpected person from his past is proving to make that challenging. Together the two must face these complications and make a decision for the better. I would recommend this book to anyone who read the first book in Colleens series, "It ends with us". This book is a more light hearted romance novel take on the more dark and twisted first book. It is more uplifting and instills hope, focuses more on the story of Lily and Atlas, delving into their past.

If you're from Colorado, this book is a fantastic way to learn about its history. This is a biography by Margaret Coel, who is very educated on Native history. This biography is written in a way where you can connect to the story while still learning. It gets you attached to characters as if it's fictional, yet explains things in a way where you know it's true history. This book shows you the influence that Chief Arapaho had on natives and his ability to communicate with travelers. I recommend this book not only to anybody who wants to learn about Coloradan history, but also to those who love a good, true story.

This is far and away my favorite autobiography I have ever read. New stories told on every single chapter, each far funnier and more engaging than the last. I really enjoyed reading this story as it also felt quite grounded. He very clearly had a very rough time growing up but Noah's humor prevails through all of it.

10/10 would read again.

This book was written in 1835. In 1831 Tocqueville visited the US for 10 months, during his time he went to many different regions. Once he made his way back to France he wrote this book. The book itself is effectively a biography of the early US, it covers almost any big topic you could think of. Because of the time it was written in and because of translations it is a very hard read.

Have you ever seen someone do something crazy with their money? Or wonder why the economy is the way it is? This book dives into these questions and many others that will leave you looking at money from a different angle and a new perspective. He also states the reasons why rich people are rich and why poor people are poor, debunking myths and challenging popular beliefs about money.

Instead of giving you advice, he writes this book in a diary and conversation-like manner, making it easier to read and understand.

Killing Floor is the first book of the Jack Reacher series and focuses on many murders that happen throughout the book. This book was way more entertaining than I originally thought it was going to be. The author did an amazing job in pulling me in on the very first chapters with a lot of action and if you do not get hooked by the end of chapter 6 then maybe this book is not for you. Another great thing was the way the thoughts of Jack, the main character, are portrayed. They show him deep down inside thinking a different thought than what his actions show because he can change what he does based on what needs to be done for the current situation but the feelings deep down are what makes him seem like a real person and not some fictional character. Jack's past experiences in the military are also very helpful and it is very neat to see his thought process when he is in a tight spot. All of these elements together are what makes this such a good book.

Mental Mastery is a concept that can only be beat by yourself. There is not someone else that can do it for you or tell you to. Someone's not going to save you from your previous lows that you can't escape. It's about making the decision to change now and beat the concept that you have limits that can't be broken. Make your break through to change, to make yourself better. Mastering your mind may seem like a simple concept but there is so much more than it seems. Make the change.

Leech by Hiron Ennes is a Sci-Fi gothic horror novel that takes place in a chateau in the cold north. The protagonist in this book is a doctor who goes up to the chateau to replace the doctor who seemingly died. Later on, it's discovered that the cause of death was a new type of parasite that burrowed in the doctors' skull. The new doctor has to figure out where it came from and how to get rid of it and comes across several discoveries and challenges.

Something interesting about this book is the way it's written, the main character also seems to be infected with a parasite with sympathy for the human race, wanting it to survive. It uses it's years of knowledge to become a really good doctor. This parasite has a few hundred hosts, so the style the author writes in is different. I would 100% reccomened this book! It's a little confusing at first if you don't understand the context of the main character though.

I have really enjoyed this book. It goes through the process that Qatar had to go through to be able to host the 2022 world cup. It wasn’t just a simple bid to host but much rather a very complicated process. The book introduces main characters and the allegations that came with winning the bid. The narrator sets up the reader for a deep dive into what truly goes on in the football world and how politics, power, and money influence the game at the highest levels.

I recommend A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park for anyone who is interested in an inspiring story. I recommend this book because it tells the story of two kids, Salva and Nya, who live in Sudan and shows use the struggles that they face in their home country. The book not only shows us their struggles but it also teaches us about hope, staying strong and how one person can make a massive difference in the world

Lastly the book is easy to read making it very easy to understand what's going on without making u get lost.

This is a story of growth and bravery, Unbroken in an inspiring story. It is the story of a boy with a troubled beginning, who found a calling through speed, yet was pulled into war as the world fell into combat. Every man knew the risk of flight, let alone combat, but Louis and his crew never could have known what else they would face. Desperate survival, enduring punishment, and redemption all come together in a true war hero's story, Louis Zamperini.

This is an incredible non-fiction story. I would definitely recommend reading it, without doubt. It unites athletic, war history, and survival story enthusiasts. I tend to love learning about war history, and this story is truly inspiring, and moving. Not many books this long I would read twice, but I could read this book over and over. The action is there throughout the book, from athletic prowess to combat. This is a story that is hard to believe is true, as it is so intense with ups and downs.

In this book, Quinn has to decide which side he partners with. What is right, and what is easy. This book is a moderate read and I stayed excited throughout the whole book.

Amazing work of historical analysis, covering Roman history from 91-29 BC - from the last days of the Republic to the end of the Civil War, the rise of the house of Cesar, and the establishment of the principate. With great social analysis, ample descriptions of both the social circumstances leading to the failure of the republican political system, and fascinating details of Roman life in general - I recommend this book to any scholar of both modern and classical history, politics, or philosophy, interested in the origins of the western political system and the birth of the Empire that defined millennia of European history and continues to shape our world to this very day.

Growing up seeing Elliot Page on screen and being enamored with his work, reading this was an in-depth look into his life, including many hardships and challenges. Much of this, to be expected, is centered around his transition and the many inward and outward struggles resulting in societal shaming. In the end, he is strong enough to overcome much of this and gain a newfound understanding of himself and the world around him. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Page´s work, people looking to further expand their knowledge of the trans experience, or someone who would relate to any aspect of his upbringing/individuality.
