I'm a fan of the TV show "The Big Bang Theory" and recently saw snippets of Bill Nye's appearances on that show, so when my library was selling this audiobook, I decided I would buy it to listen to while I drove. I bought it fully expecting that I was going to be arguing with Mr. Nye as I listened. I was surprised that I wasn't arguing with his thoughts as much as I thought I would be. Certainly in areas of biology/evolution, he and I hold vastly different views. I also don't agree with some of what he says Christians believe. (For example, we don't all say evolution doesn't exist--microevolution certainly does exist in the world. But do I believe all that evolution teaches--no, I don't.) I think he denigrates Ken Ham several times in the book--mostly because Mr. Ham doesn't believe the way Mr. Nye does, apparently. I enjoyed one of Mr. Nye's early (in the book) stories about physics class--and how it captured his interest. I enjoyed his stories about slide rules. (I owned one once--that my dad gave me--but never did learn to use it. I grew up in the calculator era instead, I guess.) I do think he has some good ideas about renewable energy and about how to go about changing the world. This was a tough one. At first, it was a mildly interesting hodgepodge of stories from Bill's youth. It was a struggle. However, I kept going. I'm glad I did. I tend to have a bleak outlook on the future of this world and humanity, but Bill is hopeful. That hopefulness is good to read and, I believe, the ultimate point of the book. Stick with it, and you might just end up believing that we can, indeed, change the world. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Everyone has an inner nerd just waiting to be awakened by the right passion. Bill Nye will help you find yours. Here Bill shows you how to develop critical thinking skills and create change, using his "everything all at once" approach that leaves no stone unturned. Whether addressing climate change, the future of our society as a whole, personal success, or stripping away the mystery of fire walking, there are certain strategies that get results: looking at the world with relentless curiosity, being driven by a desire for a better future, and being willing to take the actions needed to make change happen. He shares how he came to create this approach -- starting with his Boy Scout training (it turns out that a practical understanding of science and engineering is immensely helpful in a capsizing canoe) and moving through the lessons he learned as a full-time engineer at Boeing, a stand-up comedian, CEO of The Planetary Society, and, of course, as Bill Nye The Science Guy. This is the story of how Bill Nye became Bill Nye and how he became a champion of change and an advocate of science. It's how he became The Science Guy. Bill teaches us that we have the power to make real change. Join him in... dare we say it... changing the world. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
