Do you LOVE learning about the world around you? Well, then I have the book for you. The Future of Buildings, Transportation, and Power by Roger Duncan and Michael E. Webber was so interesting to read. I enjoyed the chapter layouts and how each subject flowed neatly into the next; plus, I liked how at the end of each chapter they did a little summary. Roger Duncan and Michael E. Webber’s explanation of things like the future of AI and graphene (a new building material) were some of my favorites to learn about; although there were many more I enjoyed reading about as well

What in the world is this? I seriously felt like I have just read a really bad fanfiction. Everything about this book is just so terrible.
Plot? What plot? Oh, you mean the little mention of a plot that makes it okay to chase her and make her his sex slave. Please dont make me gag. What little writing didnt involve them screwing each others brains out even though they are enemies, was dedicated to formulating a historical world filled with monsters and motorcycles? At least, that is what I guess Tareks mode of transportation was. The fact that I couldnt get past how lame the story as a whole was didnt motivate me to understand what things like that were. If Harper wanted to create a historical world, she should have done her homework instead of spewing this word vomit.

Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Trail Blazers: An Illustrated Guide to the Women Who Explored the World in Books

Trail Blazers: An Illustrated Guide to the Women Who Explored the World by Lisa Graves is a picture book full of famous women explorers. I found it interesting and educational. There’s not a great amount of information, but what’s here is enough to give a sense of these women’s accomplishments, as well as their determination, in just enough detail to whet the reader’s curiosity.
Graves introduces readers to thirteen women who were influential explorers. Each woman gets one spread with a column about their life and most famous accomplishments. Further textboxes on the spread highlight major accomplishments, places travelled, etc. Some of these women are well known names, like Nellie Bly, Amelia Earhart, and Sacagewa, others are not so well known like Ida Laura Pfeiffer, Harriet Chalmers Adams, and Gertrude Bell. They explored any time between the mid 1700s to mid 1900s, used different methods of transportation, explored different areas of the world, but all were intrepid adventurers and left their marks in society, literature, science, archeology, geography, and more.
I received an ARC from Xist Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
