No Democracy Lasts Forever argues that the Constitution has become a threat to American democracy and must be dramatically changed or replaced if secession is to be avoided. Deeply troubled by the Constitution's inherent flaws, Erwin Chemerinsky, the renowned dean of Berkeley law school, came to the sobering conclusion that our nearly 250-year-old founding document is responsible for the crisis now facing American democracy.

Your author makes the case that the Supreme Court has leaned strongly right, i.e. originalist conservative. OT and I agree that that has led to a more polarized nation, a less liberal nation, etc..

Exploring and explaining a litany of glitches, near misses, and mathematical mishaps involving the internet, big data, elections, street signs, lotteries, the Roman Empire, and an Olympic team, Matt Parker uncovers the bizarre ways math trips us up, and what this reveals about its essential place in our world. Getting it wrong has never been more fun.

Fun and instructive

The author describes various times when mathematics, when sent through computer programs etc. produces the wrong answer and has large world effects.
It doesn’t say that math is an inappropriate science but it does say that one should be careful and check properly for when it is used in the real world.
I enjoyed the book and suggest that if that is what you’d like it’s a good listen.

In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, Doughty blends her mortician’s knowledge of the body and the intriguing history behind common misconceptions about corpses to offer factual, hilarious, and candid answers to 35 distinctive questions posed by her youngest fans. In her inimitable voice, Doughty details lore and science of what happens to, and inside, our bodies after we die. Why do corpses groan? What causes bodies to turn colors during decomposition? And why do hair and nails appear longer after death?

GREAT, though I wish it was longer and of course cheaper!

Fun, informative, WELL READ by the author! It was a great presentation of an amusing spin on the subject of off the wall facts of death.
It was clear that the author/reader knew her topic, and communicated to me the joy of the field, writing, and reading.
Though I doubt it, I’ll look for anything else of hers, and buy it if there is any!!!
Thanks...
