Book Review: Cosmos by Giles Sparrow 2006

Cosmos

Giles Sparrow 2006

ISBN-13: 978-1905204298

I saw this book at a used book store some years ago and got the biggest book boner I have ever had for one of the tallest if not largest books in my collection. Cosmos by Giles Sparrow is a beautiful coffee table book with wonderful images and information.

I noted that at the end of every page the sentence ended so there was no carry over. This wasn’t hard as the pages are so large and filled with images. On the down side the images on these pages are sensitive. You can smudge them with the moisture from your hand leaving dark spots that may or may not go away. You may want to handle this book with gloves.

Another down side is that this book was published before Pluto officially became a dwarf planet. However, the text mentions that Pluto should be a dwarf planet and names other planets of the type. 

I’m not the only one who liked this book. On my last check Amazon had the book rated with five stars over thirty five reviews. Used copies can be had for as little as four dollars plus shipping.

Who should read this book?

Those who love to look up at the stars.

Young aspiring astronomers.

Sci fi geeks who would like to know more about the stars.

Life From Your Heart - Melody Beattie

Boring Man

10th April 2013

Dear Cassi,

The morning yielded training in professionalism that puts something of a damper of my

letters. I always knew that talking about work was a bad thing but now I’ll have to stop doing that all together or at least never mention clients even if I keep them anonymous.

With so little going on in my life that may strain things, but I still have a long history to relay. I haven’t talked about the past much but have intention to relay to you my life if for no other reason than for the betterment of my own memory.

Work is so much a large part of my life and I have been so careful about never saying the wrong thing about my clients. Still it would appear as though I need to tighten up my standards. I would never call myself a boring man as I always have something to do but interest comes with adventures, and I have few of those outside of work.

I guess what I’m saying I’m going to have to work not to bore you.

Keep your life moving, little sister,
