Before we go any further in learning how to draw on the canvas, we should take a moment and learn about the canvas state and understand how it works. Each context that you get on a canvas maintains what's called a drawing state which your code can manage. You can save the current state and you can restore a previous one. States are basically pushed onto a stack of saved states. So each time you save a drawing state, it goes on a stack and then when you restore it, the one that's currently on the top of the stack gets popped off and becomes the current drawing state.
The canvas drawing state keeps track of several properties of the canvas. It keeps track of the current values of the lineWidth, the strokeStyle, the fillStyle, the lineCaps, etc.--all the stuff that we've seen so far in how to draw shapes like rectangles and lines. It also keeps track of what's called a current transformation matrix, and we'll see that later on in the course when we use transformations. It also keeps track of the current clipping region, which also we'll see a little bit later.
So it keeps track of each of these three sets of values and you can save these and restore these. So that begs the question, well, why would you want to do this? Well, your code may have set of whole bunch of drawing settings and during the course of drawing, you might want to just make a minor tweak to one of those settings, but you don't want to have to keep track of those manually because you will have to remember, oh I changed the lineWidth here, and I can set it back to it was. Over here I changed the strokeStyle. Now I've got to set it back to what it was.
So, saving and restoring the canvas does all of that for you. Now to save and restore the state, all you need to do is use the Save and Restore functions. Essentially, you call context.save and then you can perform a new set of drawing operations, any one of which might change any of the save properties: the current lineWidth, the current fillStyle or strokeStyle, so on and so forth. And when you're done, all you have to do is called context.restore and that will put the drawing state back into the state that it was before you called Save and made any changes.
So let's actually take a look at how this works in real code because that's usually the easiest way to understand it. So let's will switch over to my editor, and in the Snippets code, I am on to the Drawing State section here in chapter 5, so let's open the example file, and we'll open drawingstate_start. So what we're going to do is go back to my snippets and we're going to copy these lines over here. For now we'll just copy those and we'll paste.
So let's see what we've got so far in the browser. Let's go over here and go to drawingstart, so we've got a rectangle that has a yellow interior and a red stroke. Now, let's go back to the snippets and copy the next group of lines over. I'll copy these and we'll paste below this. So for the moment, I'm going to comment out the calls to save and restore, and let's take a look at the effect.
So here we draw the first rectangle. It's got a red stroke in the yellow interior. Then we'll go and we change the strokeStyle to be green and the fillStyle to be blue and the lineWidth to be five. And then we create a new rectangle, and then we create a third rectangle, but we don't have any properties that were being set, so let's go ahead and save, and let's go back to the browser and refresh. So now we have three rectangles: one is yellow inside in red, and then we have two rectangles that are blue interiors and green strokes.
So let's go back to the code now. Let's uncomment those two lines. I'm going to uncomment Restore. I'm going to uncomment Save. So the call to the save function will save the current properties of the context--in this case the stroke, fill and line. Then we reset them over here and draw a new rectangle, and then we restore them. So let's now save and let's go back to the browser. So now when we refresh, you can see that the call to the restore function is restoring the drawing properties that were set originally for this rectangle before they were changed for this one.
So again back in the code. So we start off with red and yellow. Then we save that. We do a whole bunch of things here that changes the current drawing context, and then we call restore. And that pops off the stack that original context that we saved which restores the red and yellow settings, allowing us to draw with them again. So we can see how using the Save and Restore functions to manage the canvas state can save us a lot of work when we're drawing things and making minor changes all over the place.
Now, this may seem like a trivial example, but later on when you're drawing really complex drawings and you're making minor changes to the drawing context property, this really comes in handy and relieves your code from having to do a lot of manual work to keep track of drawing properties, of which there are a lot.

266 reported hurt as quake rattles Greece, Turkey
THESSALONIKI, Greece -- An earthquake beneath the sea shook northern Greece and western Turkey on Saturday, with 266 people reportedly injured in Turkey.
The quake struck at 12:25 p.m. local time southwest of the Greek island of Samothráki, 130 miles east of Thessaloniki and 185 miles northeast of the capital Athens. It was also close to the Turkish island of Gokceada and the Greek island of Lemnos.
The quake caused 266 injuries in Turkey, including one person who was in serious condition, according to the government's emergency and disaster management agency.
The injuries were mostly the result of panic, caused as people tried to rush out of buildings.
The Institute of Geophysics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki said the magnitude of the quake was 6.3. The U.S. Geological Survey initially reported a magnitude of 6.4, later revised to 6.9.
The temblor was widely felt, including in Thessaloniki, the west coast of Turkey and as far away as Bulgaria and Istanbul.

Dow Jones Business NewsDell Hasn't Seen Uptick In Demand, President Says >DELLWednesday June 11, 10:26 am ET By Donna Fuscaldo, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Despite upbeat commentary from computer component suppliers in recent days, Dell Computer Corp. (NasdaqNM:DELL - News) has yet to see an uptick in demand, said Kevin Rollins, president and chief operating officer.There's has been change in attitude in the marketplace with people feeling better about the industry, but that hasn't translated into hard data to support an improvement in demand, Rollins said Wednesday at the Bears Stearns 14th Annual Technology Conference in New York.According to Rollins, Dell is hopeful that demand will improve over the course of the year.While the executive said the impact of SARS has been factored into the company's financial targets, he said it hasn't hurt Dell sales, even in China.Concern over SARS' impact on demand is a "little overblown," said Rollins, noting that the company's business in Asia continues to "grow well."In Europe, Rollins said business remains stable. Dell doesn't expect a major uptick in Europe mainly because business did not drop off as much as in the U.S.Rollins made the remarks during a keynote address before he spoke to investors in a meeting that was closed to the press.Shares of Dell were recently trading at $31.15, down 74 cents, or 2.3%.-By Donna Fuscaldo, Dow Jones Newswires; 201-938-5253

Three hundred to 400 people turned out Tuesday to pay their respects at Randall County Commissioner John Currie's funeral.
"The thing I loved about John Currie the most is you always knew where you stood," said the Rev. Marvin James, who officiated the ceremony at Lake Tanglewood Church. "It's a way of integrity."
Currie died early Sunday after serving 10 years as Randall County commissioner. He was 83. Burial was at Llano Cemetery.
James described Currie as someone who took a while to think before taking a position. But once he made a decision, he would stick by it despite the political winds.
Currie knew his illness would do him in, James said. But he fought the good fight anyway.
He loved the sunset, butterflies, his friends and his neighbors, James said. He loved the present, planned for tomorrow and didn't worry about the past. Currie thought about today, filling it with meaning and lived life with gusto, James said.
James said Currie once confided, "I've been a sinner. I've been a good man, and I hope they come together OK."
Currie was a developer of Lake Tanglewood, a development about 15 miles southeast of Amarillo in the upper reaches of Palo Duro Canyon State Park. The development that first started in 1959 was known as Lake Stockton and on the Currie Ranch. It be-came Lake Tanglewood in 1967.
Currie was elected to the Commissioners Court in 1988 and was serving his third term when he died. As a commissioner, he represented southeast Amarillo, the northeastern portion of rural Randall County and the northeast quadrant of Canyon.
As commissioner, he was known for various projects, from grading private roads himself with his own equipment to working for upgraded services at low cost. His business experience included farming and ranching, private road construction, and oil and gas production.
He married Genevieve Garner in 1940 at Amarillo. She was the only granddaughter of Vice President John N. Garner. She died in 1977.
Currie married Billie Samberson in 1985 in Amarillo.
Survivors include his wife; a daughter, Ginger Green of Amarillo; two sons, Tully Currie of Fredericksburg and John G. Currie of Blanco; a stepson, Dr. Randall Samberson of Amarillo; and 12 grandchildren.

The Central Division, once the Detroit Pistons' own personal playground, has become a war zone for the team from the mitten.
The Chicago Bulls and the Indiana Pacers now reign supreme in the Central, with the Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers fighting it out with Detroit for the second tier. And while some divisions enjoy a relative amount of parity, there is a huge difference between the first and second tiers in the Central.
But Cleveland seems to be trending in the right direction with a couple of excellent drafts and offseason moves, and Milwaukee brought some excitement last year with the addition of Monta Ellis, although it is too soon to know if the Bucks are moving forward or still just treading water.
The Pistons are certainly the wild card in this division. Like Cleveland, the Pistons have had some very good drafts of late and, provided some of their veterans play like they are capable of playing, they could make things interesting in the Central.
Here is how the Pistons stack up against the rest of their Central Division rivals.

LAKERS STAR Kobe Bryant, while still an elite player, is no longer Mr. Clutch.
For 10 years, NBA general managers have voted the former Lower Merion High phenom as the league most clutch player.
But on Tuesday, that honor went to the Thunder's Kevin Durant.
Durant got 46.7 percent of the votes, followed by Bryant (40 percent) and the Knicks' Carmelo Anthony (6.7).
Last season, according to Pro Basketball Talk, Durant shot 43.3 percent overall in the final 3 minutes of games in which his team led or trailed by three points. Bryant shot 32.8 percent.

My Kitchen Rules twin Vikki Moursellas is single and looking for love
- From: news.com.au
- March 22, 2014
THEY'RE the sassy twins from Victoria who ooze confidence in the MKR kitchen, but one of them is single and she's looking for love.
Helena, who is one-half of the dynamic duo from Melbourne, faced a challenge that had nothing to do with cooking during Wednesday night's episode when she tried to score her twin sister Vikki a date.
Teams were tasked with feeding 200 ravenous tradies and Helena drew in the dudes by shouting, "She's looking for a husband" while pointing at her blushing sister.
The 25-year-old says she is keen to have a man in her life.
"I've been single for five years, and I thought, why not promote it on the show?" she told news.com.au.
"It's all about the personality really, I don't really go for looks. Obviously they matter, but it's the personality that counts," Vikki said, adding that she's never been interested in a "big white wedding and the big white dress and the big bling, bling".
When the identical twins got the call-up to compete on the cooking show, Vikki admitted she was looking forward to seeing if any "hotties" had been cast.
"It would have been a bit of fun ... but there wasn't any. [The boys] are great, but they're just mates."
The charismatic foodie hinted that she had recently met a "pretty awesome guy" at a work event but it was "nothing serious".
"He's got nothing to do with the show," she confirmed.
For any interested blokes reading this and wondering what Vikki's type might be — apparently MKR guest judge Colin Fassnidge is her idea of a perfect man.
"Colin is nowhere near scary. We're massive fans of Colin ... he's amazing, he's hot, he's gorgeous and if he wasn't married, I'd be standing in that line for him."
My Kitchen Rules returns tonight, 6.30pm on Seven.

Then two flower points will appear, use a female to grab the poles on the left wall to move them down.

Cost of Malpractice on F-35 Goes Unpaid
In any profession when there is malpractice, the person or persons who commit the offense are held accountable. They lose their jobs or their licenses or resign from sheer embarrassment.
But this is apparently not the case in the military industrial complex when it comes to the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the most expensive program in the history of the Pentagon, whose unit costs have risen from $69 million to $159 million and whose initial operational capability has been set back at least five years.

Alternative employment arrangements and worker preferences
August 04, 2005
In February 2005, there were 10.3 million independent contractors, 2.5 million on-call workers, and 1.2 million temporary help agency workers.
These types of workers are considered to have alternative employment arrangements, in contrast to traditional arrangements.
The majority of independent contractors (82 percent) preferred their work arrangement to a traditional job, while only 32 percent of temporary help agency workers preferred their current arrangement. Among on-call workers, 46 percent preferred their current arrangement while 45 percent would prefer a traditional job.
These data are from a supplement to the February 2005 Current Population Survey. The percentages on the chart for each group do not sum to 100, because in some cases the worker response was "It depends" and in other cases a response was not available. To find out more, see Contingent and Alternative Employment Arrangements, February 2005, news release USDL 05-1433.

Republican War on Worker Rights Undermines Economy
Robert Reich: The only way back toward sustained growth and prosperity in the United States is to remake the basic bargain linking pay to productivity. This would give the American middle class the purchasing power they need to keep the economy going.
The Truth About the American Economy

The Progressive Caucus Budget
We hear a lot about Ryan's budget and the President's budget but we're not hearing very much about the Congressional Progressive Caucus Budget which appears to be more in line with what the average middle class American wants and needs. What's up with that?
A Crock Pot Tax-Exempt Idea
Walter Brasch: "There are four million words in the IRS Code," said Marshbaum. "Lower-class and middle-class Americans get a few thousand of those words. The rest of the code is a roadmap to help the wealthy and their corporations avoid paying taxes."

How Democrats Can Become Relevant Again
Robert Reich: Republicans offered Democrats two more weeks before the doomsday shut-down. Democrats countered with four. Republicans held their ground. Democrats agreed to two. This is what passes for compromise in our nation's capital.
Time for a Pro-Quality-of-Life Movement
Tina Dupuy: The wedge issue of abortion is a red herring. It's a giant distraction – a shiny thing we all focus on and a drain on resources which could actually be going to making "life" better for American children.

I am hwading off on a cruise in a couple of weeks. To my horror, I discovered they have formal nights. I'm not a cocktail dress kind of girl, so I had to find a solution, and fast. My answer? The maxi skirt! I got inspired by Hollywood and stars who wear maxiskirts to the Oscars, and got myself some lovely, dressy shirts & long chains. Teamed with an evening bag, strappy sandals and a cure hairdo, I'm good to go!

I love maxi skirts at all times, but especially on my travels. So comfortable, stylish and easy to pack. Great post.

Looks like the biggest winners in the Suck for Luck Sweepstakes are the second place winners – the St.Louis Rams.
How did we end up here? In the last six months, we've gone from the Suck-for-Luck sweepstakes, to him not even being on the radar. Sometimes the surest pick, the one with the fewest question marks, gets the least sizzle and gets lost in the mix of the wildly controversial, flashy performers. These are players that get forgotten, fall in the draft, then resurface mid-season and show why they were so good to begin with.
This is the inherent problem with the NFL Combine, if you don't make yourself into a story with ridiculous workouts or insane measurable that could be coupled with a questionable character/work ethic/past, you are forgotten, you're not talked about. Seems unthinkable that the number one overall pick could attract such little attention, doesn't it?
Then we got a closer look at Robert Griffin III, former Baylor quarterback, Heisman trophy winner, now surefire No. 2 overall pick. Forget the side-by-side comparisons of wins, passing yards or completion percentage; the only numbers that matter when it came to RGIII were 4.38 and 6'2", his 40-yard dash time and height.
Let me repeat that in case you missed it - All this attention over RGIII which has skyrocketed since the end of the college football season has been caused by his height and 40 time. The man does not have to throw a pass until he gets drafted to ensure his status as the most sought-after prospect since, oddly enough, Andrew Luck.
Whoever trades up for RGIII fully proves this theory, and there are several teams who will be tempted to do so, with none of them making perfect sense. So, we'll dabble in the rise of Poe and Melvin Ingram due to their combine performances, speculate on where Justin Blackmon and Trent Richardson will end up, throw out some possible trades that could occur in the first round, and try to see who will take place on the high talent/character concern of this year's draft – Janoris Jenkins.
So if you're worried this will be all about Griffin, don't worry because there are plenty of other prospects to discuss, but for those of you who are fans of teams salivating the idea of RGIII, stick around because there's probably a scenario for you.
The Cleveland Scenario
Can you imagine if he goes to Cleveland? Nevermind that it's a football town that hasn't seen their beloved Browns come to relevance since before being deactivated by the league from 1996-1999.
Never mind Mike Holmgren, a man who wants to bring the success he created in Green Bay and Seattle to Cleveland, overseeing the whole operation. Never mind not having 5 identifiable players on their entire roster (go ahead and try, see how long it takes you). This is a town still jaded from LeBron bolting town.
Griffin will be showered with praise upon arrival, and no fan will care if it takes 10 future first round picks to get him. No pressure though. Some team will mortgage their future to make him their future.
While the Rams may not get quite as much as what the Saints gave up to get Ricky Williams, it will be in the neighborhood. But everyone in Cleveland will understand. This could be a time of great revival for Cleveland football. Urban Meyer is running Ohio State, and the Browns could bring Michael Vick 2.0 to save their franchise.
While Holmgren is regarded as smart football mind, the pressure is on him, given the ammunition he has in two first round picks, to make a move for the potential franchise savior. While there is much the Browns need to do to be competitive, for a fanbase starving for a winner, and a team unsure of their current quarterback situation, how do they not make the move?
Formula for a Mock Draft
It's worth reiterating what the formula is, but given the time of the offseason, the critical fifth factor has been added — Combine results.
Four tools were used in making this mock draft as credible as possible:
2) Depth charts by season's end
3) Team needs, and, most importantly,
5) NFL Combine results
Before going on, it cannot be emphasized enough - Any mock draft that tries to be completely logical is not worth considering, because no NFL Draft is completely logical.
A major reach here, a player inexplicably falling there — that's the nature of the Draft. Post-combine means an influx of mock drafts based on 40 times, vertical jumps, and bench presses. There were quite a few standouts from this year's group who made themselves a lot of money with their showing, but the biggest story remains Robert Griffin III, the Baylor quarterback who will shape this year's NFL draft.
Rather than try to decide which team will ultimately make the move to get Griffin with just one mock draft, this is the first of a series of mock drafts that will outline several scenarios in which a different team could trade up to get the pick. Other changes will be noticeable among the mock drafts including Minnesota's pick (Morris Claiborne or Matt Kalil), how high Dontari Poe will climb, and how far Trent Richardson will drop.
That's the beauty and frustration behind mock drafts, because for as many scenarios that make perfect sense on paper, you always have to account for teams taking the best available pick or just falling in love with a player and reaching 10 spots than their "value" would have you believe.
After looking at all the post-combine notes, analysis, videos and mock drafts, I'm done trying to rationalize this mock draft because there is no such thing as being rational when it comes to the NFL Draft.
[1] With all due respect for the deceased, the Oakland Raiders under Al Davis were known for making atypical, irrational-at-the-time, spectacularly disastrous selections. Whether they were seen as such at the time (e.g. Darrius Heyward-Bey, Michael Huff, Sebastian Janikowski) or flamed out later on (Robert Gallery and JaMarcus Russell), Oakland's selection were also one to watch the day of, and in the years following.

This carry on is one of the best I have purchased, including from other "top of the line" companies. It is stylish whilst offering practical ruggedness to get through airports, crammed overhead compartments, and literally miles of concourses. It is incredibly lightweight. I have the matching overnight bag, which I use as a briefcase, that has literally been around the world with me for a couple of decades. I expect this carry on to match that level of service!
I bought the bullhide roller a long time ago. It developed a patina and thanks to American Airlines some serious nicks. It has become such a part of my week to week travel I wanted it repaired. Turns out the leather piping is not repairable. What does Orvis do? Replaces it. Wow. Always used it for carry on exclusively, but one time I had to gate check it; it took some tough wear. In the future I would rather get off the plane than let a baggage gorilla touch this beauty.
I was looking for a simple backpack to take papers and books to work and back and this is it. This pack is very spacious and has pockets for pencils, pens, and cardholders and a separate pocket that I use for my iPad. The color and feel of the canvas is great and the material should hold up for many years. The natural leather used for the straps is excellent and the brass hardware tops it all off. With the size and capacity of the bag, it will be very useful on hunting trips or as a carry on for future vacations. Overall, this is a very high quality bag and speaks well of the quality that I have come to expect from Orvis.
My husband loves this Orvis Backpack. He has had a similar backpack for the past 30 years which has been with him constantly, to Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Dubai, Ecuador, Africa, Denmark, Iceland, England, France, Greece, Spain, Italy and everywhere in between. He has travelled far and wide for his military career and his backpack is his constant companion!
Carry your belongings in style with our selection of duffle bags from Orvis. These leather, canvas and wheeled duffle bags are both fashionable and practical, keeping you well prepared for all of your travels.

There are countless decisions to be made daily in the course of running a business, some trivial and some significant. Selecting a business structure is one of the most important decisions that will impact your business today and for years to come.
When it comes to choosing the right business entity, taxes are usually front and center on a new business owner's mind. What structure will give you the best chance to lower your taxes? How can you lower your self-employment taxes? What are the downsides, if any, of incorporating?
While it's smart to talk to a tax advisor about your own particular situation, here's a starting guide to understand how each of the common business structures impacts your taxes:
Sole Proprietorship
The simplest business structure — the sole proprietorship — is the default if you don't actually file for a formal structure. As a sole proprietor, there's no separation between you and your business, and owners report their business income on their personal tax returns (using the IRS Form Schedule C).
One key thing is that sole proprietors need to pay self-employment tax on their profits. This is similar to the Social Security and Medicare taxes that are withheld from the pay of most wage earners. For the 2013 tax year, a self-employed person owes SE tax at a 15.3% rate for their first $113,700 in profit. You can then deduct half of self-employment tax from your total income.
So, if you're a sole proprietor who made $60,000 in profit, you'll first need to pay your self-employment tax on the full amount, and then calculate your taxable income at your individual tax rate.
The bottom line: The sole proprietorship is the simplest business structure and leaves you with the smallest amount of paperwork and legal formalities. But it doesn't separate your personal and business finances or help protect your personal assets. And, in some cases, a sole proprietor is going to end up with a higher overall tax bill due to self-employment taxes.
C Corporation (C Corp)
Unlike the sole proprietorship, a C Corporation is a separate business entity from the business owner. This means that a C Corp business will need to file its own tax returns. As an owner of a C Corporation, you'll need to file a personal tax return and business tax return each year.
When people talk about small businesses and C Corporations, something called "double taxation" usually enters the discussion. Here's what it is: Let's say you're a part-owner of a C Corp business. First, the business will be taxed on its profits when it files its corporate tax return for the year. Then, if you or the other owners decide to take some of those profits home, you'll have to distribute those profits and pay taxes on those distributions on your personal tax return.
The bottom line: This double taxation issue can lead to higher taxes for small business owners that want to take home the company profits. But, the C Corporation can be a good structure if you plan on investing the profits back into the business. You should talk with a tax advisor before choosing the C Corp for your small business.
S Corporation (S Corp)
To avoid double taxation, a C Corporation can opt for something called "S Corporation" election. This means that the company does not pay income taxes on any profits. Instead, profits are going to be passed along to the owners/shareholders and reported on their own personal income tax returns.
Let's say you own 50% of a business that has elected S Corporation tax treatment. You'll have to report 50% of the company's profits on your own tax return. Note that since this is considered a distribution, you won't have to pay self-employment tax on it. However, also take note that if you actively work in the business, you need to pay yourself a reasonable salary for what you do and you will need to pay self-employment tax on this. A distribution is made from whatever profits are left over after all expenses (including salary payments) are made.
The bottom line: The S Corporation avoids the problem of double taxation, and can also be a way to lower what you pay in self-employment taxes. However, keep in mind that a corporation (whether it's a C Corp or an S Corp) means you have added paperwork and administrative demands compared with a sole proprietorship. In addition, there are certain restrictions for who can form an S Corporation; for example, shareholders need to be legal residents of the U.S.
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
The LLC is often considered a hybrid between a sole proprietorship and corporation. It's a popular choice for small businesses because it offers the personal liability protection of a corporation with a minimum of paperwork and formalities.
By default, an LLC is taxed similar to the sole proprietorship — meaning that the company doesn't pay income taxes on profits, but you report any profits on your own tax return. What makes an LLC interesting is that it offers a lot of flexibility for how you want to be taxed. You can choose to be taxed as a sole proprietor, a C Corporation, or an S Corporation.
The bottom line: The LLC is a great option for small business owners who want to separate themselves from the business, but don't want to deal with all the formalities of a full-blown corporation. You can speak with a tax advisor to determine the best way for your LLC to be taxed.
Keep in mind that not all small businesses and business owners have the same situation, needs, and future plans. What's right for one small business isn't necessarily right for another. You'll want to do some research, and speak with a trusted advisor or resource, to see what's best for your business.

"Not Much Here"
If you hope to learn anything about geology or scientific method, this is not the book for you. This book limits itself to the life and trials of William Smith, and delivers its message in a dry, 3rd person list of events. Even the "map" and Smith's innovations in developing it, are mentioned only in generalities, with no little discussion of how they were developed or the context of science at the time. Very disappointing.
"a pleasure to listen to and revisit"
A comprehensive, exceedingly well researched study of William Smith, with the author's personal reflections and a great deal of interesting geology.
Retired CTO in the Financial sector.
"Very nice respite from the mystery's."
A good history lesson. Not just about geology but about the UK and it's culture.
As a geologist i found this book fascinating. I loved it. It does not read as a text book.
Loved it! Surprisingly it made the somewhat dry topic of geology into a fascinating story...perhaps should be used in schools.Might stimulate much conversation about origin of the earth as well as ethics and human relations as well as class expectations and relations. Excellent!
"The story of a modern day discipline."
Background on the foundation of Geology in the social and economic issues of the period.
"Great story!...if not a tiny bit boring on and off"
I really enjoyed this book but it was very dry and gets down right boring at times but the story is worth the trouble to listen to if you have any interest in maps.
"jumps around but interesting"
Down to earth real life story about a human being including their highest and lowest points. It does sit the reader down in a real life story easy to relate to.
Hearing about a mans struggle to be accepted
Dreadful monotone monotonous
I've now listened to 2 books orated by this author and for me, even though the writing is good, the oration is so monotonous that this will be my last purchase of this orator and that is a shame. Good author does not make a good author. And, the book skips around in time a lot. Still, even though I won't buy another by this orator, I don't regret the purchase.
"Interesting read, but why not metric?"
Like the other books from Simon Winchester this book is pleasant, not least because the author reads his books himself. Even though this is a narrative rather than a scientific book I wish he would switch to the metric system instead of referring to feet, inches, pounds and ounces. As a science author he should not support the obsolete empirical system. Today only the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar continue to not use the metric system.
"The science we take for granted"
I read the paper version of this book. It is a fascinating account of how one man persevered to change the world's view of geology. If you like geology and the history of science, this is time well spent. I gave it a three since my experience was with the paper version.

Spent 4 days at the Staybridge Suties and had a wonderful time. The hotel has a great hot breakfast and a very nice social hour with a light dinner fare and beer. The staff are always cheerful and very accommodating. The rooms are large and the in room kitchen is a nice bonus. This was my first experience and this hotel, but I'm sure it will not be my last.
