Off Centered Book . Love the beer but found the book to be more a rambling stream of consciousness that doesn't really have a point.  It really seems to be just Sam's rambling thoughts and recollections of his startup.  There are some great anecdotes woven through the book (and I'm sure he has plenty that aren't shared).  He goes over some of the many questions that any startup should answer but the business advice in the book is fairly basic.    At the end of the day I'm not sure what the point of the book really was supposed to be as several subjects are visited repeatedly.  It dosen't go into the brewing in any depth and there's certainly not enough substance to call it a business book.  If your a really huge fan of the beer you may have some interest

Brilliant viewpoints! . Why of course the Chinese government was entirely to blame for the opium imported by the Scotsmen Jardine and Matheson!  It just like when Americans have a cocaine problem, it is the US government, and not the drug smugglers and dealers, that has the responsibility.  And if the Chinese folks got addicted to this narcotic, well, it's for their own good you know.  At least that's Herman's view.  Also, the Scots who thus created Hong Kong for the opium trade did not do all this hard work for money or for themselves.  Yes, they did make a little money but that's not why they were in China.  They imported opium in order to create Hong Kong so that one day it will become a "premier" commercial city of the Orient, with the ultimate goal of teaching China western financial and economic techniques.  If it were not for Jardine and Matheson, how could China have become a great power today, or a candidate superpower tomorrow?  No, these two far-sighted Scots had this noble, lofty goal in mind when they came to China, nothing lesss.  When historians condemn these two for their "crime" (drug-dealing, that is) they forget that they are actually heroes, as Herman sees so clearly and correctly.  And so it is completely unjust that a brilliant people like the Scots don't even have a country they can call their own while the "barbaric" and "decadent" Chinese do

Teach your children about &quot;ugliness&quot; . A to Z has a big problem in my opinion. It is a very simple children's book with some very cute illustrations of animals (A to Z).  Each animal is engaged in an action that also begins with the first letter of it's name  (e.g. Kangaroos Kissing).  There are lots of made up animals, I'm assuming  to account for the rarity of animals beginning with &quot;Q&quot; and  &quot;X&quot; etc.  The part that I don't like is the fictitious  &quot;Uglybirds&quot; whose action is simply &quot;Being Ugly&quot;.  The  illustration that goes along with this so-called ugliness is very  disturbing.  The &quot;Uglybirds&quot; have atypical bird features that  seem intentional.  They are green and purple, and have messed up feathers  and big bulging eyes and are very &quot;Different&quot; from the  &quot;normal&quot; birds in this and other books.  Upon reading this, my  wife and I agreed that we would never repeat this section while reading to  our daughter.  Although I do intend on teaching my daughter about ugliness  (Racism, Violence, contempt, etc.).  I think that it is a quality that  shouldn't be used to describe physical appearance.  When my daughter  encounters a person who is physically unusual, I hope that I have instilled  in her the values to disregard what others might find &quot;Ugly&quot;.  I  know that some might think that I'm overanalyzing such an innocent entry in  a child's book, I think that parents need to be more careful about the  messages that they are sending about ugliness
