Book Reviews

Anthology #66

Proof, by Adam Kucharski

Prior to reading this fascinating book, I had never thought much about what proof is as a concept, but now, as well as realising how difficult [if not actually impossible] it can be to ascertain proof, it affects nearly everything we do — or think. The author was a founding co-director of the Centre for Epidemic Preparedness and Response at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine [LSHTM] (2022–2025), and has contributed scientific insights to multiple governments and health agencies. Prior to joining the School in October 2013, he was a postdoc at Imperial College London; he also looks unfeasibly young, but here I am just showing my age. In his own words: “Proof … is not just about what is true: it is about convincing ourselves — and others — that something is true. If prosecutors want to stop a murderer walking free, they need to assemble enough proof to persuade a jury. If countries want to roll out a new vaccine during an epidemic, they need proof it’s sufficiently safe and effective. If we want to have fewer legal errors, or more medical advances, or make better decisions about whether to send up planes after a volcanic eruption, we need to seek out proof”. This gives you some idea of the scope of the book’s coverage, and inevitably, the COVID pandemic is examined in some detail, with regard to the author’s specialist area of knowledge. Also, the latest bête noire, Artificial Intelligence [AI], is comprehensively covered: “It’s time to get serious about AI’s very real challenges, like misinformation, bias and deep fakes.” [Aidan Gomez, Attention is all you need] “If we spend all of our energy getting distracted by doomsday scenarios, we will repeat the mistakes we made during the rise of social media.” “From pandemics to climate change to adversarial AI, knowing that a disaster is on the way isn’t enough if vindication comes only after that disaster hits.” There is enough optimism here to prevent this becoming a doom-laden read, but it is also a salutary warning that we should keep our wits about us. The paperback I read was published in 2026 [2025] by Profile Books Ltd, London, ISBN 978-1-7881-6909-7.

Dreamland, an Autobiography, by Bob Lazar

How you regard this book depends very much upon your preparedness to accept that there might be some other intelligence in the universe beyond what we think we know; inevitably, this can call into question the credulity of the individual who believes it, but this is mostly a tactic used by those who want to discredit anything substantially different, and potentially frightening. Notwithstanding the attention that the possibility of alien visitation [or even presence] on earth has received latterly, I would be more prepared to accept the validity of Lazar’s experience in this autobiography, if it weren’t for the number of errors in the writing, both grammatical & proof-reading, given that he was a scientist, although no editor is credited. After a spell working at Los Alamos, he was recruited to work at a secret location in Area 51, to establish how an amazing, presumably alien, propulsion system worked: he was even given sight of several of the craft from which the system came; what soured the whole experience for him though was that, in addition to the inevitable secrecy surrounding the whole enterprise, his employment was not regular or even reliable. He felt like he was being held at arm’s length, and the uncertainty of it all [plus paranoia at being constantly monitored] contributed to the breakup of his marriage. He very much regrets allowing the story to be released to the public in 1989, via a local television news station, preferring now to stay out of the limelight; the story has only continued to grow, however. The December 2017 revelations in The New York Times about a secret Pentagon study of UFOs & related phenomena [now referred to as UAP], the release of 3 videos recorded by military pilots, and the testimony of credible witnesses, including pilot David Fravor about the capabilities of the craft he encountered, have only bolstered Lazar’s story. Many believe a major revelation is just around the corner: time will tell. The hardback I read was published in 2019 by Interstellar, USA, ISBN 978-0-5784-3705-7.

The Vanishing Point, by Paul Theroux

This is an engaging collection of short stories from this US novelist & travel writer: they are arranged in four sections, the first of which is a single, titular story; the others are either set in a location — Hawai’i [Hawaii Nei], or Elsewhere — or philosophical; Aide-Mémoires. The first location is explained by one of his current choices of home, according to his bio; the second is explained by his travels, although there is an overlap with the final section, which is mostly set in & around the area of his birth, Massachusetts, and they are probably semi-autobiographical, using a fictitious character called Andre Parent, who is a novelist & college lecturer. To quote from the rear-cover blurb: “The stories in The Vanishing Point are both exotic and domestic, their settings ranging from Hawaii [sic] to Africa and New England. Each focuses on life’s vanishing points — moments when seemingly all lines running through one’s life converge, and one can see no farther, yet must deal with the implications. With the insight, subtlety and empathy that has [sic] long characterised his work, Theroux has written deeply moving stories about memory, longing and the passing of time, affirming his status, once again, as a master of the form.” Aside from the final potential overstatement, although understandable as a marketing device, I would say that this assessment is pretty accurate: I found plenty to identify with in the final set of stories in which he muses in later life on the inevitable approach of death, with all its implications; that said, these stories are by no means morbid, but full of subtle humour. I will be very happy to find other examples of his work. The paperback I read was published in 2026 by Penguin Books, London [2025, Hamish Hamilton]; 2025, Mariner Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers LLC, USA,  ISBN 978-0-2419-9558-7. 

My Inner Child Wants to Murder Mindfully, by Karsten Dusse

This is the follow-up to a successful first novel from this German author, and the title is an extension of the first book’s title, which was Murder Mindfully: it has been adapted into a Netflix series*, called Mindful Murder, which I have just started watching, inspired by this second novel. It is written with what used to be called black humour: the irony in the sequel is that, after the murders in the original, which are referred to in the sequel, the protagonist, Björn Diemel, has renounced murder but, unfortunately, events have a tendency to conspire against the most honourable of intentions. In the Netflix version of Murder Mindfully, at the instigation of Björn’s wife Katharina, he has begun consulting a mindfulness coach, but here, he is persuaded to do so after an alpine holiday with their pre-school daughter was soured by an altercation with a slovenly waiter. He is introduced to the concept of an inner child, which we all possess, apparently, and managing this concept should allow Björn to deal with unresolved damage inflicted on him by his parents. It is also coincidental that Björn manages the building, owned by the absent boss of a criminal syndicate, and in which Björn lives, separately from Katharina, in which a pre-school business is situated, and which their daughter, Emily, attends. Björn had exchanged “a crippling permanent position at a large law firm for a financially sound freelance position as a solo practitioner”; one aspect of all this which only one other person knew was that, a year earlier, he’d killed Dragan, the criminal boss: he “had no choice but to let his criminal consortium continue to operate under Dragan’s name. And pretend to his gang that their boss was still alive”. What follows is a comedy of errors & unintended consequences, and it is amusing to read how Björn reasons with his inner child, under his mindfulness coach’s direction, to resolve problems as they arise, despite the coach being unaware of all the sordid details! *Unfortunately, the original dialogue is dubbed into American: I would rather have had subtitles & the original German dialogue. The paperback I read was published in 2020 by Wilhelm Heyne Verlag, Munich [Das Kind in mir will achtsam morden], 2026 Faber & Faber Ltd, London [translation by Florian Duijsens, 2025] ISBN 978-0-5713-8407-5.

The Dirty Secrets: #Whales, the #GrandCanyon and #WarCriminals

by #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews
November 22, 2024

"People who travel the world will tell you two things that they really love: Whales and the Grand Canyon.

"The majestic Orca whales are now at risk from the massive oil tankers departing the shores of British Columbia with thick crude oil from Alberta tar sands in Canada, bound for distant refineries and ports.

"Meanwhile, in the heart of the Southwest, the Grand Canyon, loved by the people of the world, now has a uranium mine spewing radioactive dust into the air, and endangering Havasupai's aquifer and future generations.

"Neither the Appeals Court in Canada, nor the U.S. EPA and Interior have done anything to stop these assaults on the most beloved natural wonders in the world, whales and the Grand Canyon.

"Rueben George, səlilwətaɬ, Tsleil-Waututh Nation, remembers the long fight to halt the Trans Mountain Pipeline, now carrying crude oil from Alberta tar sands to the Salish Sea, which flows off the shores of British Columbia and Washington State to the Pacific.

"George said they thought they were winning their case in Canada's Appeal Court.

"'They said you're right it's going to kill all the Orca whales, you're right -- but we're going to build it anyway,' George said at the Salish Sea Assembly in Seattle in November.

"The uranium mine in the Grand Canyon is now spraying radioactive dust on Havasupai's medicine plants, and into the air for the world's travelers to breathe. The uranium mine, operated by Energy Fuels of Canada, threatens the aquifer of Havasupai and future generations.

"The mine's radioactive truck transport is a deadly risk for Supai, Paiute, Dine', Hopi and Ute on the haul route. The radioactive ore is transported by truck to the Energy Fuels mill in the White Mesa Ute community in southeastern Utah.

"Interior's Deb Haaland, who is Laguna Pueblo and Norwegian, has not only failed to halt the deadly risks and destruction, but has proclaimed that the atomic bomb industry, Los Alamos National Laboratory, will lead the green 'energy transition.'

"Los Alamos Labs produces nuclear weapons and is already poisoning the Pueblo homelands in northern New Mexico with radiation. A federal judge recently halted the push to produce and store more plutonium at the site, citing a risk to the environment."

The Silent Killers in #IndianCountry: #Copper, #Lithium, #Uranium and #Plutonium

Judge finds plutonium plants in #NewMexico and #SouthCarolina violated environmental laws

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Oct. 10, 2024

"The U.S. government's plan for increased plutonium production at #LosAlamos National Laboratory, in the heart of Pueblo lands in northern New Mexico, has been delayed by a federal judge.

"Continuing the U.S. legacy of poisoning Indian country with #radiation, this comes as the U.S. government is granting leases to foreign #mining companies targeting Native #sacred lands and communities.

"#CopperMining is targeting San CarlosApache's sacred #OakFlat; #Hualapai are suing the US Department of Interior to halt lithium mining at their sacred spring Ha'Kamwe'; and the U.S. government is promoting the ongoing digging into the #Paiute Massacre Site in northern Nevada for #lithium, in violation of all federal laws that protect Native religious and historic sites, the environment and endangered species.

"Uranium mining in the Grand Canyon threatens #Havasupai's aquifer, the haul route endangers everyone in the Four Corners region, and the uranium mill at White Mesa Ute in #Utah is poisoning #Utes.

"Interior Sec. #DebHaaland said in Farmington, N.M., that Los Alamos Labs would be the leader in the so-called '#GreenEnergy transition' in the #FourCorners region.

"More than 500 radioactive #UraniumMill sites remain on the #NavajoNation that have not been cleaned up by the U.S. #EPA, which deceives the public by announcing plans and promises to clean up the #ColdWar sites.

"In the current federal lawsuit, a federal judge in South Carolina ruled that U.S. energy officials illegally neglected to study impacts to the #environment in efforts to increase plutonium production for nuclear weapons in New Mexico and South Carolina.

"'South Carolina District Court Judge Mary Geiger Lewis sided with environmental, #AntiNuclear proliferation and community groups last week who sued the National Nuclear Security Administration (#NNSA), which oversees the nuclear weapons stockpile as part of the U.S. Department of Energy [#DOE],' reports Source New Mexico.

"The U.S. is investing billions into restarting the manufacture of #PlutoniumPits, the grapefruit-sized spheres developed for #nuclear weapons. The plutonium is produced from uranium.

"'The federal government halted its manufacturing program at the #RockyFlatsPlant in #Colorado in 1989 after an FBI raid due to safety concerns and #EnvironmentalCrimes,' Source New Mexico reports.

"The U.S. government's #AtomicBombTesting in #Nevada left a trail of cancer and death for #WesternShoshone. The documentary 'Downwind' reveals the truth.

"'This is a very serious issue and that's why I can't let it go. I can't move on. People say, 'oh, why don't you just let it go?' Because it's killing my family. It's killing my land. It's killing my people. And that will not stand. It's being done in secret. And killing Indians in secret will not stand,' said Ian Zabarte, Principal Man of the Western Bands of the #ShoshoneNation of Indians. Zabarte is featured in '#Downwind' about radiation poisoning from U.S. #NuclearTests.

"Currently, foreign companies -- which receive the profits and find it easy to avoid clean up and responsibility for #environmental crimes and deaths from #cancer -- are receiving the mining leases from the U.S. government. The leases are granted by the U.S. Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and in the case of #UraniumMining in the #GrandCanyon, it is the USDA's Forestry Service. #Biden's attorneys have joined the lawsuit with #RioTinto to devastate #OakFlat.

"Australian and Canadian mining corporations are devastating Native lands and communities, poisoning the water and causing widespread cancer.
Rio Tinto, targeting Apaches #OakFlat, is an Australian company which destroyed 46,000 years of #Aboriginal sacred history in caves in #Australia.

"Another Australian mining company is targeting #Hualapai's sacred site. It is #Hawstone / #ArizonaLithium, in Perth, Australia.

"#EnergyFuels, now uranium mining in the Grand Canyon, and operating the uranium mill at #WhiteMesaUte, is a Canadian company. Another Canadian company is digging into the #Paiute Massacre Site. It is #LithiumAmericas.
#Hopi judge #DianeHumetewa granted a temporary restraining order to halt the lithium mining at #Hualapai's sacred spring."

The Silent Killers in #IndianCountry: #Copper, #Lithium, #Uranium and #Plutonium

Judge finds plutonium plants in #NewMexico and #SouthCarolina violated environmental laws

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Oct. 10, 2024

"The U.S. government's plan for increased plutonium production at #LosAlamos National Laboratory, in the heart of Pueblo lands in northern New Mexico, has been delayed by a federal judge.

"Continuing the U.S. legacy of poisoning Indian country with #radiation, this comes as the U.S. government is granting leases to foreign #mining companies targeting Native #sacred lands and communities.

"#CopperMining is targeting San CarlosApache's sacred #OakFlat; #Hualapai are suing the US Department of Interior to halt lithium mining at their sacred spring Ha'Kamwe'; and the U.S. government is promoting the ongoing digging into the #Paiute Massacre Site in northern Nevada for #lithium, in violation of all federal laws that protect Native religious and historic sites, the environment and endangered species.

"Uranium mining in the Grand Canyon threatens #Havasupai's aquifer, the haul route endangers everyone in the Four Corners region, and the uranium mill at White Mesa Ute in #Utah is poisoning #Utes.

"Interior Sec. #DebHaaland said in Farmington, N.M., that Los Alamos Labs would be the leader in the so-called '#GreenEnergy transition' in the #FourCorners region.

"More than 500 radioactive #UraniumMill sites remain on the #NavajoNation that have not been cleaned up by the U.S. #EPA, which deceives the public by announcing plans and promises to clean up the #ColdWar sites.

"In the current federal lawsuit, a federal judge in South Carolina ruled that U.S. energy officials illegally neglected to study impacts to the #environment in efforts to increase plutonium production for nuclear weapons in New Mexico and South Carolina.

"'South Carolina District Court Judge Mary Geiger Lewis sided with environmental, #AntiNuclear proliferation and community groups last week who sued the National Nuclear Security Administration (#NNSA), which oversees the nuclear weapons stockpile as part of the U.S. Department of Energy [#DOE],' reports Source New Mexico.

"The U.S. is investing billions into restarting the manufacture of #PlutoniumPits, the grapefruit-sized spheres developed for #nuclear weapons. The plutonium is produced from uranium.

"'The federal government halted its manufacturing program at the #RockyFlatsPlant in #Colorado in 1989 after an FBI raid due to safety concerns and #EnvironmentalCrimes,' Source New Mexico reports.

"The U.S. government's #AtomicBombTesting in #Nevada left a trail of cancer and death for #WesternShoshone. The documentary 'Downwind' reveals the truth.

"'This is a very serious issue and that's why I can't let it go. I can't move on. People say, 'oh, why don't you just let it go?' Because it's killing my family. It's killing my land. It's killing my people. And that will not stand. It's being done in secret.

Going to the #ShiprockFair, #KleeBenally Remembered the #UraniumDump on the Banks of the #SanJuanRiver

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, August 29, 2024

SHIPROCK, #NavajoNation -- "In his book published shortly before his passing, Klee Benally writes of going to the #NorthernNavajoFair and the #UraniumDump in #Shiprock that no one talks about. It is along the San Juan River, the same river that flooded this week, now eight months after Klee's passing.

"'The Northern Navajo Fair at Tsé Bit A'í (#ShiprockNewMexico) has been held for more than one hundred years,' Klee writes in 'No Spiritual Surrender: Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred.'

"Klee describes how the fair each fall marks the changing of the seasons and the #harvest. He describes the neon glow of the carnival in the cold, dusty nights, and the #uniper fires that burn.

"All of this revelry is held right on #UraniumBoulevard just a couple miles from a massive 105-acre #Radioactive dump containing 2.5 million tons of #RadioactiveWaste on a site that was a former #UraniumMill (which is just 600 feet from the San Juan River.)'

"The Shiprock Uranium Disposal Cell studies showed that more than 1.8 million liters of #groundwater were contaminated with uranium, #selenium, #radium, #cadmium, #sulfate, and #nitrate.

"Now the #NavajoNation again is targeted by the #Nuclear Industry and #DebHaaland's radioactive agenda is being ignored.

"Speaking in Farmington, Interior Sec. Haaland said the transition to green energy in the #FourCorners region will be led by the #AtomicBomb industry, #LosAlamos National Laboratory, which has already poisoned #Pueblo lands in northern #NewMexico.

"There is no mention of the fact that there is no safe way to store #NuclearWaste.
Now, adding to the layers of deception, the U.S. #EPA is deceiving the public. The EPA doesn't actually clean up the uranium dumps and strewn #RadioactiveTailings from #ColdWar #UraniumMining on the Navajo Nation -- it only announces plans and promises to do it.

"#EricJantz, legal director of the New Mexico Environmental Law Center, told the Inter-American Commission on #HumanRights in March that the #EPA has not completed any of the cleanups.

"There are 524 uranium mine sites waiting to be cleaned up on the Navajo Nation. Zero -- none of these -- have been fully cleaned up, Jantz told the international commission.
The truth is people seldom talk about the uranium dump at Shiprock because there is so much strewn radioactive waste, and so many unreclaimed uranium mines, with radioactive waste strewn from Cameron to #MonumentValley, and across the Four Corners region.

"During the 1990s, on assignment for USA Today, I talked with #Dine' in #RedValley and Cove, south of Shiprock, down the mountain from where I lived. In every family, there was cancer. In every family, someone was dying of #cancer, or had already died, from cancer because of the uranium mining.

"One Dine' grandmother in her 80s was living in a stone home built of radioactive rock. We had a Geiger counter with us."
