Pros: As I’m writing this review, my daughter is sitting at the dining room table taking an orbital mechanics final for her graduate program in astronautics at Stanford, so I can’t help but be grateful for how far women have come since Sally Ride burst on the scene during my own college days. Includes photos of a diverse group of astronauts, an author’s note, and a lengthy bibliography. The final section of the book is a detailed narrative of Cleave’s own journey aboard the space shuttle in 1985. It wasn’t until 1983 that Sally Ride broke the barriers at NASA, and many other women have succeeded there in the decades since. Meanwhile, in the Soviet Union, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to travel to space. Although they were qualified, and their smaller size would have been a plus on early space missions, they were eventually passed over for the all-male Mercury 7. Summary: Real-life astronaut Mary Cleave narrates the story of how women clawed their way into the space program, beginning with a group of women called the Mercury 13 who tried to be part of the first group of astronauts.

Over this seven year period, CBA has also had two chief executives in Ralph Norris between 20, and from then on current chief executive Ian Narev. Westpac's share price performance is half of that achieved by Commonwealth Banking Group, which is up 60 per cent since 2008 and on a total return basis is 122 per cent. The period includes nearly a 50 per cent share price slump due to the 2007/2008 global financial crisis, which belted all the major banks, as well as Westpac's $19 billion acquisition of St George bank. Since February 2008, just months after Ms Kelly was named as the new chief executive of Westpac and the first female executive of one of Australia's big four banks, shares in the company have climbed from $28.06 to $32.97 today and including dividends reinvested the return is 102.6 per cent.

Sarum doesn't fare appreciably better as fiction.

SARUM: The Novel of England By Edward Rutherfurd Crown. They imagine that life was better in the past because it was less stressful, healthier and easier than it is now. For example, it takes less time to earn money for reading light today compared with what it took before.ĭespite all the technology and medications we have today, people yearn for simpler times. They have more food options and can afford to buy everyday items that are much cheaper than they used to be. People are healthier now than they were in the past. Over the past 10,000 years, life expectancy has increased and infant mortality has decreased. In fact, an experiment was conducted where an artist tried to make a better version of a cheap toaster using his own hands however, the finished product wasn’t as good as the original he bought at the store for only $5! The ability of humans to combine their intelligence allows them to grow steadily wealthier over time through increased division of labor (the specialization of work). This shows that humans have more power as a group than any individual alone. However, no one person could build a computer mouse from scratch. For example, someone has to drill for oil and make plastic before a computer mouse can be made. Humans are the most advanced species on earth because of their ability to share knowledge and learn from each other. 1-Page Summary of The Rational Optimist The Rise of Collective Intelligence It would be, if it weren’t for the telepathic mathematicians, all the talking mice, the asbestos supermodels, and the trained monster hunter that was sent by the old enemies of the Price family, the Covenant of St. Despite having been trained from her birth as a cryptozoologist, she would rather dance the tango than tangle with a demon, and is spending one year in Manhattan as she pursues a career in professional ballroom dancing.

Several folks thought the book would have benefited with the addition of better, more extensive maps and pictures. The donated beer did not give Irv and John a leg up in the next year’s book selection process, but was greatly appreciated.Ībout Bryson's book: this is a cleverly written travelogue about Australia, punctuated with lots of local and obscure Australian history, almost all of it interesting. Fortunately, the lack of pizza was compensated for with free beer (complements of Irv and John), which helped lubricate the conversation.
