He was a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics): An excerpt from Wikipedia: I'm sure there are many other jobs that comply with the requirements. Large corporations are actually quite adept at creating them. I don't have one of those type of jobs, unless you count the times that I have to be "socially acceptable" with my significant other...😉 Should be a fun read. Chris I'll wager the govt. is the best at creating these type of jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your question was directed at those books I read for research then, no, it is not a joke. Having read those, I have moved on to some other books for additional research. I read for doctoral work in biblical counseling, and I read for future writing projects that I am interested in, or for subjects that I need to bone up on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should add that I did skip one of those books, the 7 Money types, because after skimming through some of the book, I disagreed with the premise entirely and could see no real value for what I was after. Once I am more interested in off the wall theological views, then I may revisit that book. I did substitute a handful of others though.

Then give generously over an above the tithe in proportion to your ability. Be generous out of your abundance or your lack towards others and you will be blessed and you will initiate worship. Learn to delay gratification through contentment, and invest in your eternal future by leveraging your time, talents, and treasures today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artto Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I bought this about 30 years ago.............. My wife is extremely interested in canine behavior. One her favorite lecturers on the subject is Robert Sapolsky. Apparently Sapolsky has cited this book many times and my wife recently mentioned it. I tell her we have it, it's on the shelf in my office. Now she's reading it. Probably a good time for me to revisit it too. Chaos - Making a New Science by James Gleick.

JonathanBrown Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) On 9/22/2020 at 12:57 AM, Chris A said: Just finished this one yesterday. If you watched the series ("Chernobyl"), believe it that the book is even better, and the series was pretty darn good. The book makes the understanding of what happened much more real--and understandable. Heroes and villains aren't nearly as one-dimensional in the book. And the story is pretty different than the TV series. Chris I watched this series, but I've not read the book yet, but I will definitely read it!! Everyone should know about such global catastrophes because this is our history, which took place relatively recently. I think this has had a damn effect on the ecology all over the world, and the consequences of this disaster are still there, especially in the place where it happened. I have been studying the topic of ecology for a long time, and I want to note that this disaster passed not without consequences. Recently I finished a series of articles on this topic, using the service that I found on Pick The Writer. And I learned new facts not known to me before and a lot of interesting information Edited November 30, 2020 by JonathanBrown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
