Kraken a Review


I have always been fascinated by undersea life - it's mysterious, beautiful, dangerous and sometimes creepy.  So when I was given the opportunity to review, Kraken:  The Curious, Exciting, and Slightly Disturbing Science of Squid by Wendy Williams I was all for it.

This book is a fascinating look at all things squid and how they relate to us as humans - they aren't only a source of food and sport, but scientists are discovering ways the squid will be beneficial to human disease -squid are being used to find cures for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, to develop new antibiotics and boost the health of babies born by C-Section.

Kraken by Wendy Williams is well worth reading and will open your eyes and mind to new and wonderful possibilities from our undersea neighbor the squid.

The Butterfly Effect

It's hard to imagine what we do everyday - either as routine or on impulse - has an effect on any number of people in the future.

Did you know that there once existed a single man who, more that a century ago, made one move...that still dramatically effects how you live today? [excerpt from the Butterfly Effect]

The Butterfly Effect How Your Life Matters by Andy Andrews is an awe inspiring and eye-opening look at how one small desicion can effect millions of people.  Among the glossy pages of this beautiful book you'll learn how one man's descision in the heat of battle effected the entire US, how one women's love for a friend and courage in the moment raised a leader and how one man's short term as vice-president is still saving billions of lives today.

The Butterfly Effect by Andy Andrews should be a must-buy on your shopping list this Christmas season...your desicion may change the world forever.
