Leslie Gore was one of the finest and most followed female rock vocalists in the "Teenager in the Limelight years". I recommend this CD as an example of a lady singer who really knew how to drive the beat forward and keep up with it at the same time. Her classic material is displayed on this CD and all of us who were around at the time knew by heart selections like You Don't Own Me, Judy's Turn to Cry and the super classic
It's My Party. You can sill hear plenty of Leslie Gore music on any modern media but a quick way is to simply purchase the CD now.

Ever Since Darwin: Reflections in Natural History
$15.95
Ever Since Darwin is Stephen Jay Gould's first book and is a collection of essays written in the mid-1970's for Natural History Magazine. It is easily accessible for the general reader and covers a range of topics related to Darwin's big idea. Interesting topics include:

- The history of Charles Darwin's life while developing his theory (however, not a lot of details about the findings that made him question creationism).
- The theory of human neoteny (humans retain juvenile ape features into adulthood and evolved by slowing down ontogenic development).
- Human infants as embryos. Other mammals are at a level of development when they are born that human infants don't reach until 6-12 months after birth.
- The history of geologic theories and the vindication of plate tectonics.
- An argument that preformation (the outmoded theory that zygotes were tiny fully formed humans that developed in utero by simply growing larger) was a reasonable scientific theory at the time when it was popular based on what was known then.
- A refutation of the simplistic view of science as objective data collection and theorizing based strictly on the facts. Scientists work within a theoretical framework and are inevitably biased by prevailing social and political attitudes.
- A discussion of genetic determinism vs. potentiality

I am generally averse to books that are made up of a series of independent short articles because they typically fail to reach great depths or reveal great revelations on any one topic, and instead tend to skim the surface of many assorted subjects. This book is no exception to that rule. In addition, it's been over 30 years since it was written and it makes me wonder what new information and theories are necessarily omitted as a result. On the other hand, there is a fair amount of material about the history of scientific theories that is certainly not in danger of becoming obsolete.

There is a little repetition of material between chapters since they were originally written to be read independently, but it is not terribly bothersome. Since I've already read almost all of Richard Dawkins' books, some sections discussed material I was already pretty familiar with. I guess that is inevitable since the information is not newly discovered, this book is written for a general audience, and I've already read quite a bit on the subject of evolution.

This is my first Stephen Jay Gould book, so I can't say how it compares to his others.

Ever Since the World Ended
$24.98
The Bottom Line:

I respect the effort made by this movie's filmmakers to show what life in San Francisco would look like after a catastrophe, but no matter how well-meaning the effort the fact remains that Ever Since the World Ended is mainly just dull, with few compelling shots or storylines; look elsewhere for post-apocalyptic drama.

2.5/4
