Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Wolf Sanctuary: The Wolves of Speedwell Forge in Books
Jul 12, 2018
The highlight of this book is obviously the photos. You can tell that Chuck Rineer is a phenomenal photographer. He was able to show the personality of each wolf that he photographed. It was wonderful to experience those photos & I will have to follow his social media pages so that I don't go through withdrawal. I enjoyed the photographs but the writing was a bit bland. I would have loved to learn more about the wolves but the writing didn't do the wolves justice.
All in all, this will be a great coffee table book to flip through.

Erika (17788 KP) rated Galileo's Middle Finger: Heretics, Activists, and the Search for Justice in Science in Books
Jun 18, 2020 (Updated Jun 18, 2020)
The author is a 'Historian of Science' and did some in-depth studying of intersex. I didn't really know much about intersex, and it was horrifyingly interesting.
My biggest issue was that it rambled along, throughout her career and the controversies she encountered, blah, blah, rambling about social justice movements, I lost interest.
Then... she decided to compare herself to Galileo. BLESS YOUR HEART - and I mean that in the most demeaning, insulting way possible. This lady is no Galileo, and it was a laughable comparison.
