Summary & Analysis of Factfulness by ZIP Reads

Hans Rosling challenges everything you thought you knew about the world in his groundbreaking book, Factfulness.

Think you know what percent of the world is vaccinated? Or many people have access to electricity? Rosling proves that whatever you think, you’re most likely wrong. Learn how to fight your own personal bias and get a more realistic perspective on the world with Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong about the World — and Why Things Are Better Than You Think.

What does this ZIP Reads Summary Include?
– Synopsis of the original book
– Rosling’s original quiz to help determine where your world view stands
– The ten “instincts” that lead us astray
– Detailed guidance on how to fight the instincts
– Anecdotal evidence of damange the instincts can have
– Analysis of troves of Rosling’s data to paint a clearer picture of the world
– Editorial reivew
– Background on the author

About the Original Book:
In Factfulness, Rosling has compiled a life of work and research into a call-to-action for reason, rationality, and data. He argues that most people assume the world is worse off today than it was in the past, and that this is patently false. Using decades, and sometimes centuries, of data, he systemically counters many common notions held today–that the world is more violent, that more people live in poverty, and that population growth is not truly exponential–to name a few.

DISCLAIMER:This book is intended as a companion to, not a replacement for, Factfulness. ZIP Reads is wholly responsible for this content and is not associated with the original author in any way.

Orville-Mouse-cover-72dpiOrville Mouse and the Puzzle of the Clockwork Glowbirds by Tom Hoffman

2016 Gold Medal Winner • Best Young Adult Adventure Book
Readers Favorite International Book Award
“Hoffman comes across as a master in the teen fantasy genre…” –Romuald Dzemo
“…magical, exciting, witty and wise…” –Jack Magnus
Orville Wellington Mouse lives with his Mum in the quiet fishing village of Muridaan Falls, Symoca. His life takes an unexpected turn when he learns his best friend Sophia Mouse is not only from another planet, but is also a member of the Shapers Guild, a group of powerful mice who are able to convert their thoughts into physical objects.

When Orville notices a group of seven glowbirds exhibiting rather extraordinary behavior, he and Sophia attempt to uncover the origin of the unusual birds but soon find themselves enmeshed in a fiendish plot to embroil Symoca in a horrific war. Captured by the powerful and mysterious Red Mouse, the two adventurers are hurled through a spectral door into the terrifying world of Periculum, home of the dreaded giant carnivorous centipedes.

With help from the secretive Metaphysical Adventurers, Proto the Rabbiton, the Mad Mouse of Muridaan, a gigantic Gnorli bird, some ghostly Anarkkian warriors, and the enigmatic Monks of the Blue Robe, Orville and Sophia must find their way home and stop the evil Red Mouse before he destroys Symoca.

imageThis book is bargain priced from 05/16/2015 until 05/22/2015 Check book price before you buy, as prices can change due to expiration of the sale or other technical issues.

An off center love story about a man who walks two steps forward and one backward, hates change, and after his wife leaves him because he is a lousy writer and will never be able to buy her gold and diamonds, moves to Lost City, an obscure art town, and opens a gallery called WHY AM I HERE, vowing he will never fall in love again. But, as life goes, he tumbles head over heels for Vivian, owner of a coffee house named the WAKE UP OR DIE, but when he tries to tell her I love you all he can stammer is, “I, I, I, Lo, Lo, Lo,” and he starts choking like there is a meatball stuck in his throat. A zany look at modern life with a cast of not so normal characters – a blind painter, a lady that believes there is a rock of rocks that will enlighten mankind, people that are paranoid because there is only six billion years until the sun devours the earth, two hundred dogs that are tired of organic dog treats, a woman that is so happy bubbles trail behind her, a man with sixteen girlfriends, and many many more. A love story that will leave you with a smile and a warm feeling in your heart and shaking your head saying, “I have never read a novel like this one.”

Inevitable by Jonathan Nace

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

This book is bargain priced from 07/24/2014 until 07/30/2020

Your world’s water supply is reaching its finite end. Aquifers are drying, and water is being divided between production of food, medicine, and agriculture. When America found itself on the brink of Malthusian catastrophe, population control was installed for the greatest good for the greatest possible number of people.

Benjamin Zachary expects to receive his Fairness In Nature And Life Act (FINAL) letter from The Office of Population Management, but he grows suspicious and nervous when he fails to receive it within the customary days after turning twenty one. While his mind grows with fear of The Office, he also entertains the exciting possibility that he may have been forgotten, as he teeters between emotional and logical responses.

Ben soon learns that his hope is unwarranted and he is being accused of a crime he did not commit for a second time. He is wanted for immediate trial by Panel Hearing. Once he is caught, he struggles to face his own death, knowing that he has little chance of defeating The Office at its own game. He has no lawyer to represent him, no knowledge of the rules of the hearing process, and he finds that the Panel that is going to decide his fate is hand-picked by his adversary, Office Director Dante Ringer.

His only hope is his friend, Patricia Mullins, whose cold acknowledgment of The Office’s necessity juxtaposed with her feelings for her friend, twist her into conflicting directions. But Ben is compelled to rely on Patricia’s brilliant mind because she is able to see past the distractions of what she believes, and focus on what she can prove.

Socrates in Cyberspace by Scott O’Reilly

This book is bargain priced from 06/06/2014 until 09/01/2014

“You would not find the boundaries of the soul, even by traveling along every path: so deep a measure does it have,” so reckoned the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus. Today, however, most scientists and philosophers are writing the soul’s obituary. Brain imaging technologies, advances in Artificial Intelligence, and the apparent disrepute of many traditional conceptions of the soul are changing the way we understand consciousness. But is the “triumph” of scientific materialism warranted?

Socrates in Cyberspace examines the ontological status of the soul in 21st century. Weaving together science, philosophy, and even a touch of poetry Socrates in Cyberspace explores traditional conceptions of the soul ranging from Pythagoras to Wittgenstein, as well as the quirky world of quantum mechanics and its possible relevance to consciousness. What emerges is an intellectual adventure that is sure to kindle your sense of wonder, stir your imagination, and make you think of life in new ways.

The Truth Beyond the Sky by Andrew M. Crusoe @bytefulcom

This book is bargain priced from 05/21/2014 until 05/23/2014

Perched atop the island summit, Zahn is awakened by a mighty roar that changes the course of his life forever. He bolts up and sees a light racing through the clouds, watching breathless as it careens over the sapphire forest and impacts onto the silvery beach far below.

Frantically, he searches for it, recovering an object that is far more than a mere meteorite. Yet fear holds him back, and he hides it away for days. If it truly is what he suspects it to be, everything on Avani would change. All the while, the mystery of his mother’s disappearance plagues him, and he cannot shake the feeling that she has been plucked off of the planet itself.

Then, Zahn is awoken by a tapping at his window and finds himself face to face with a real extraterrestrial whose eyes radiate a profound and mysterious peace. Yet despite Oonak’s technology, including a living starship, he insists they have more similarities than differences. Oonak is on a critical Confederation mission. The Vakragha, a chthonic enemy who devour entire planets, are spreading; and Oonak has scaled the side of his home for one unyielding purpose: To reclaim what was lost.

Dubbed a “Highly addictive, sci-fi adventure!” and “A Coming-of-Age story of the Highest Caliber” by reviewers, as well as being nominated for the IndieReCon “Best Indie Novel” Award, THE TRUTH BEYOND THE SKY is a fast-paced, transcendental adventure with strands of eternal truth woven within — a unique blend of storytelling that you’ll never forget.
