... alebo dôkaz evolúcie od Richarda Dawkinsa, 2009, 470 strán, amazon

O evolúcii som nikdy nepochybovala, takže je na mieste otázka, prečo sa vôbec pustiť do čítania takejto knihy. Dôvod je ten istý, prečo som čítala Darwinovu knihu O vzniku druhov prirodzeným výberom alebo plánujem čítať Schrodingerovu knihu Čo je život? Život, jeho pôvod a vývoj, vedomie, toto sú témy, ktoré ma veľmi fascinujú. A okrem toho, páči sa mi ako Dawkins píše (druhá kniha, ktorú som od neho čítala, je Sebecký gén - tiež odporúčam). Áno, je sarkastický, obzvlášť keď hovorí o tých, ktorí evolúciu neuznávajú, ale to je frustrácia niekoho, kto strávil veľa času argumentovaním a napriek tomu jeho oponenti neboli ochotní tieto argumenty ani len zvážiť.

The No-Cry Sleep Solution
Thursday, 18 March 2010

Od Elizabeth Pantley, 2002, 255 strán, amazon

Toto odporúčanie bude pravdepodobne ovplyvnené tým, že naše bejby posledné dva týždne spalo viac-menej celé noci (s občasným jedným nočným vstávaním; viac-menej preto, že sa budí ráno o piatej alebo o pol šiestej plná energie do nového dňa a nie je šanca ju ešte uspať), čo znamená, že sa mi v poslednej dobe ušlo celkom rozumné množstvo spánku. Ale dúfam, že to vás neodradí od čítania ďalej.

The Aims of Education
Saturday, 11 April 2009
By A. N. Whitehead, 1929, 247 pages, amazon
 
At the beginning of this semester prof. Kriegsmann, who teaches us Asymptotics II, was gone for a few lectures and prof. Booty was filling up for him. I have to admit that the fluid flow problem that he went over with us during that time was not too interesting for me. But what caught my interest was a recommendation for this small book. It contains essays that the British mathematician Whitehead originally delivered as speeches. And some of them are extremely good and applicable even today despite the fact that they will be 100 years old soon.

Guns, Germs and Steel
Friday, 30 January 2009

By Jared Diamond, 1997, 480 pages, amazon

Or The Fates of Human Societies

This is a very insightful book, which attempts to explain why certain societies seemed to have advantages over others when the two met - especially, why it were the Europeans who conquered the Americas and not vice versa.

Twilight (and the rest)
Saturday, 17 January 2009

By Stephenie Meyer, 2006, 544 pages, amazon

The other books in this saga are New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn and an unfinished manuscript Midnight Sun (available here).

My dear husband always laughs at me when I try to study for some exam. He says that I spend only half of my time studying and the other half by reading some completely unrelated stuff. And he's right. What he doesn't notice is that this unrelated stuff usually isn't anything deep, it's something highly readable and it's only purpose is to give my brain time to digest whatever I've been studying.

Beyond The Blue Event Horizon
Monday, 08 December 2008

By Frederik Pohl, 2000, 336 pages, amazon

This book is the second one in the (sci-fi) Heechee saga (preceded by Gateway). Even though it is quite self-contained and can be read separately, I would not recommend doing that. In fact, I would not recommend the book at all, read the Gateway instead.

Pushed
Tuesday, 02 December 2008

By Jennifer Block, 2007, 336 pages, amazon

The Painful Truth About Childbirth and Modern Maternity Care

This book is not an easy reading. It brings tears and fear. Not of childbirth, but of US hospitals. Belongs to the same category as the movie The Business of Being Born. Why is it so scary? Because it tells stories of women who had perfect uncomplicated pregnancies and ended up pushed into unwanted Cesarian sections. Of women who wanted VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarian) with their second (or later) babies and were not allowed to have them. Of midwives who should be taking care of majority of pregnancies, leaving the complicated cases to obstetricians, but instead they are being prosecuted in some states.
