This is material taken from a TED talk which makes it a little hard to rate, but I was really interested in the steps, and history, of finding and tracking asteroids. Asteroids went through a period of interest when Armageddon and Deep Impact came out in the theatre, leaving many to wonder how likely and what we would do if Earth suffered a direct hit from an asteroid. This small book details the ways that scientists are trying to ease this concern by staying years ahead of the possibility. At this point 95% of asteroids have been identified, turning these scientists into behind-the-scenes super heroes. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Natalie is not very surprised to learn her brother is a notorious and dangerous domestic terrorist, mostly because she is the one to turn him in. This book includes some fascinating explorations in to mental illness and the family dynamics that continue to affect us into adulthood. I mostly enjoyed this book, even when Natalie's selfish decisions became irritating, and read it very quickly. Received through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
