Title: Great disappointment Review: Lost opportunities, that's what I say about this work by Greg, who used to be my favourite author. I used to buy his works on strength that HE wrote it - but I was disappointed this time. Greg has come down a long way since his own nadir of accomplishment in Eon/Eternity days. Here he wants to do a Arthur C Clarke style 'END OF MANKIND as we know it' gambit a la The End of Childhood meets Andromeda Strain, but fails from mishandling of dramatic tension and plot development. His premises are technically brilliant - human evolution encoded into our genes and suddenly progressing explosively. But the reader will be let down by the last 50 pages. The climatic scene is simply not there. No buzz, no high, no intellectual orgasm. Just a bewilderment that "Hey is this IT?" Is this product review negative?

Title: Missionary teaches using indigenous culture Review: Despite its objectionable title, he intent of the author, Church of the Brethren missionary Albert Helser, was quite advanced at the time. The founder of the missionary school in Garkida, Dr. Helser incorporated existing Bura folk wisdom in the educational curriculum for Bura children instead of only using out-of-context Western material. Therefore, each folk tale he includes begins with the lesson objectives that Helser identified and deemed important for Bura children to know. Is this product review negative?
