Goodreads page My rating: 4 out of 5 My review: It was quite fun watching the seasons change with the author. It certainly helps to have a vivid imagination while reading this book. It is full of trivia and biological information which I would not expect in a book about beauty of nature. But it shows the “ugly” side as well and shows that we can enjoy even those brutal, inexplicable parts of it. …
Goodreads page My rating: 5 out of 5 My review: This is a small book full of big and beautiful ideas, masterfully weaved together. It spoke to me on many levels much like [b:The Alchemist|865|The Alchemist|Paulo Coelho|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1287827991s/865.jpg%7C4835472]. Full of life, love, desire, joy and sorrow. Even in the darkest corners this book is full of life. Don’t be misled by shortness of this book. It deserves to be read slowly. And multiple times. …
Goodreads page My rating: 4 out of 5 My review: When I was watching Black Hawk Down (the movie) several years ago, I hadn’t been aware there is a book as well. By the time I started reading the book, I forgot everything about the movie except the outline and the feeling of constant confusion. So first, the good parts: Black Hawk Down is a great piece of storytelling that can make you feel in the middle of it all. …
Goodreads page My rating: 3 out of 5 My review: This is a great book about economics of “Free” (as in free beer mostly). People are currently getting a lot of things for free and people and companies are getting rich by giving stuff away for free. You just have to find the right way. This book is full of interesting examples and approaches that date back to 18th century (and even more back occasionally). …
Goodreads page My rating: 4 out of 5 My review: Read it in Czech translation from 1985 so certain things were a bit weird, but the core of the book is still worth reading. It deals with basic ideas of people interactions as well as with concrete situations. And most importantly it is written in a way digestible for laymen such as myself :-)
Goodreads page My rating: 4 out of 5 My review: Interesting topic for a book and mostly well written. A bit too much repeating (but I guess that’s for easier remembering). Plus some examples are a bit outdated (not that it changes their relevance). All in all a very interesting read that definitely needs more practice to actually become somewhat effective.
