@WardenRed I'm guessing you imported "An Unseen Attraction" like I did with the Amazon UID B01G0GD0E0 rather than its ISBN, and thus ended up with Herodotus instead. At least for me, this came from ratty StoryGraph data. It probably happened to a few other books, since it did for me (having a peek at your feed, you have an S.E. Harmon novel that's ended up as Noam Chomsky's 9-11!).

This book is incredibly shallow even for the fluff I expected. Bumping from a 1 for nice art and good lettering, but the plot is nonsensical and unintentionally transphobic.

Badly laid out and infuriatingly inaccurate about life in Early Modern Europe. Hagiography that does a disservice to its audience.

HarpGriffin reviewed Dr Rip's Essential Beach Book by Rob Brander

2 stars
Got the new 2024 edition from NetGalley.
While the beach science seems solid enough, there's a significant amount of misinformation regarding other topics in here, some of it dangerous, some of it offensive. This ranges from epidemiology, to etymology, to victim-blaming tsunami victims. I can't in good faith recommend it because of these things.

I think the creator had good intentions but not enough knowledge and a publisher with a very questionable track record. The result is Hidden Objects: Rainbow Capitalism.
