    Just a compilation of book reviews for "The Origin of Species" from Amazon.com. However, they are good reviews that explain some of the things that Darwin discussed in his book.

    This is a book review, but it gave a little more information on the psychology of uncertainty that classical economics was based on, as mentioned in the readings for economics today.

    Well, there's snow on the mountains finally. I am one of the few people who smiles at the sight of white. I have this weird obsession with Antarctica and I want to say how greatly I adore this film I watched the other day. If you have any interest in cold places as I do, I HIGHLY recommend this beautiful film by Werner Herzog (director of Grizzly Man). Its not a simple Planet Earth documentary, but examines why all of these different people end up at the bottom of the world. And some of the under ice scuba diving is simply breathtaking. FYI, it's on instant view on netflix.
