I've recommended Popular lectures on scientific subjects : $b Second series, with an autobiograph to three friends already. Solid pick for Biography fans. Thanks for the quick download.
Better than expected. Popular lectures on scientific subjects : $b Second series, with an autobiograph held my attention most of the way through. Highlighted a ton.
Helpful and well organized. Knocked one star only because it felt a bit short. Thanks for the quick download.
Helmholtz, Hermann von delivers. Wish there were more examples, but still a 4-star for me. Star rating reflects the content, not the store.
Great pacing and a strong finish. Will buy more from this author if available. Took notes while reading.
