25.01.2022 "Journeys to the other side of the world: further adventures of a young naturalist, is a must read for anyone that's a fan of Sir David Attenborough (which let's admit - is basically everyone). This historical account covers a young Attenborough's explorations undertaken during a time when traveling the world was inaccessible and perilous. Though more anthropological in nature, this book reveals fascinating insights into the life of arguably the world's most respected nature ...historian. This will be a tremendously interesting read for anyone intrigued in faraway lands, fascinating animals, and enchanting plants."

14.01.2022 Scientists assessed how different activities lowered stress by measuring heart rate and muscle tension. Turns out that reading for just 6 minutes lowered stress levels by 68% - a stronger effect than going for a walk (42%), drinking a cup of tea or coffee (54%), or listening to music (61%). The reason: being fully immersed and distracted is what makes reading the perfect way to relieve stress. Source: https://bit.ly/2R39WKc... #Reading #BenefitsofReading See more

06.01.2022 #BookReview "Elon Musk: A Mission to Save the World, is a quick and fun read. It is more suited to a younger audience, which is in part what makes the biography so enjoyable. The book covers Elons life achievements, but more importantly pays credence to his history, detailing the bullied South African schoolboy, and how through creativity and determination, he set out to succeed to become the visionary billionaire we know today. A short and worthwhile read." - Ray Borrow here: https://rb.gy/ib0zma #ElonMusk
