  • this totally helped I didn't understand the book at all.

  • Be sure to visit the John Snow and raise a glass. This was a wonderful and moving book. I had been fascinated by Snow for years and was strongly moved by this book.

  • One of my favorite thinkers!

  • I'm seeing now that his new one it *is* out...

    Great!

  • I thought it was his best to date and look forward to purchasing 'The Invention of Air' when it comes out.

    Sometimes you do have to invest a few pages to see where he's going. It's worth the multiangle storytelling and 'progressive' morals if you ask me.

  • completely agree with you

  • The book is very interesting but he isn't a great writer, and the editing on the book is terrible.

    I still highly recommend it though.

  • Hi :)
