Stephen Weir has listed in his book the worst decisions in world history and the people behind its name suggests, the history of the world's worst decisions. Closing the book has 50 different kinds of decisions, from the day when Eve decided to bite the apple, ending up in the Asian tsunami disaster.
In addition, we have access to the wooden horse of Troy, Cleopatra's men, popes, bad shops, and Napoleon, Nero, thalidomide, Chernobyl, and the Titanic. Not to mention all the history of war, which pages of the book occurs.
The book goes in chronological order, thus giving relief to the reader. On the other hand is another kind of arrangement could be functional, such as war and non-war-related breakdown. Especially when almost half of the worst decisions of the war in one way or another, and readers are sure to also those that are not war stories of little interest. The book was listed on the more interesting decision, which are quite rightly included, such as thalidomide and also exactly Chernobyl, but there are also a number of whose presence I'm not quite 100% sign. Sure, the world has a number of bad decisions, but not all, especially in matters of war, however, the book of unwritten tales do not necessarily include on this list. Things are sealed well, one is dedicated to an average of about four pages. The reader is offered a summary, the initial position, the book of unwritten tales and the final acts of the consequences. Additional interest in the book at the end of the additional literature. And in this Internet during the reign of the reader the book of unwritten tales has the opportunity to apply for more information to it through. However, a note to translators negligence errors and incidental grammatical errors. After all, they are now not so terribly, but such a grammar "Nazi" eyes, unfortunately, even a small number the book of unwritten tales of errors were jumping on the eyes.
Apparently, you liked this, however, the information package? These listings are always "bad" is that things are always listed in the author's own opinion. I myself would have been able to choose some of the things that is ... Reply to Remove
Yes I liked. This was, however, much more information about the issues, and a multi-story sparked interest in the study accentuate. Listings that are really bad, that they consider the matter only from one perspective. Here, too, could be from the very first to go to consider the question of whether to be involved in a decision which has not been able to scientifically prove beyond any doubt. Sure, this book is a Yankee, and I think they hold those things to be a little more skillful prevalent than we do. Reply to Remove
1985 born female man from Turku, Finland. I read almost the book of unwritten tales all the innovations of varying classics of children's literature to mystery and horror. Less frequently, the number to the list, however, lost in chick-lit, romance, the book of unwritten tales fantasy and poetry. Loan of books from friends and the library, I buy them at flea markets and review them in pieces. Arvostelukriteerini are the same regardless of the entered or book 0n umpteenth author's work it is. The stars are indicative and sometimes kirjailijakohtaisia.
