jtplatt wants to read Dots and Lines by Anthony Bonato
Can networks unlock secrets of AI or make sense of a social media mess? A …
Attended a talk by Dr. Bonato and appreciated his perspective on how networks pop up in unexpected places and how graph theory can be used to extract otherwise unseen insights. I'm hoping there is a more to learn from Dr. Bonato in this book, especially on how individuals can apply those mathematical tools for themselves.
jtplatt wants to read Living the Vanlife by Noami Grevemberg
I'm totally enchanted by the vanlife...even though I don't think I'd make it a week. At least I can live vicariously through others!
jtplatt wants to read Where Should We Camp Next? : National Parks by Stephanie Puglisi
Love camping and love the National Parks, but surprisingly have not managed to combine those and actually camp out in one of the parks yet, at least not since I aged out of scouts. Looking forward to this read!
jtplatt reviewed Tyranny of the Minority by Steven Levitsky
Great Read for Everyone Who Cares About Democracy in the US
5 stars
A great read if you are interested in political science or care about the future of democracy on the United States. It presents a sobering look of how democracies around have changed over time, where they have stumbled and grown, and what needs to change in the United States before a true multi-ethnic democracy can be achieved. Reading it requires a certain set of openmindedness and optimism, but I whole heartedly recommend it.
