Greatest Book Ever!.......2006-11-29

I really like this book because it had lots of creepy stuff. And they get to talk to aliens on the communicator. The teacher came from space .He is the subsitute teacher.

Clever storytelling and excellent suspense.......2005-09-01

I loved this book when I was a kid, and decided to re-read it recently. Doing that gave me a new appreciation for what Bruce has done with this story.

Told from the perspective of Susan Simmons, the story fairly believably tells a tale of the impossible. Susan discovers that her new teacher, rigid and demanding Mr. Smith, is actually an alien. Furthermore, he has plans to take several of the students back to space with him! If that wasn't enough, he's holding the previous teacher, Ms. Schwarz, prisoner in his house.

The premise may be clearly fantasy-based, but what follows is some very clever storytelling. Susan has to figure out what to do about her situation, which isn't easy when new complications keep arising. But she's not alone. One of the first things Susan does, is attempt to get fellow student Peter Thompson to believe her. Peter, a friendless nerd who Susan gets along with ("I realized that I was probably the closest thing he had to a friend"), is naturally skeptical at first, but a trip to the teacher/alien's house gives him all the proof he needs. From that point on, the story branches out in a number of surprising directions, with many new twists introduced into the plot, all under an increasingly looming threat.

Bruce Coville tells a brilliant tale with "My Teacher Is an Alien". The characters are believable, with believable narration told from Susan's perspective, mixing in the descriptions one would expect from a novel with the observations and opinions one would expect from a kid. Bruce fleshes out things more by showing Susan's home life, and hinting at Peter's. The plot branches and twists in surprising, yet believable ways, making for an unpredictable story. The only place I felt the author stumbled was with some of Peter's dialog. While Peter is clearly meant to be an intelligent kid, he makes observations that I as an adult couldn't really imagine a sixth grader making. But when I originally read this book back as a kid, I never felt that Peter was too unrealistic, so it's probably not a concern for many kids.

Overall, I think this book is a classic that stands the test of time. Mixing in the fantastic (aliens) with the familiar (a school setting) makes for a blend that works.

Recommended.

Bruce Coville is the shizzle.......2005-04-21

I'm a sophomore in college and for some reason I started to remember all the books I read when I was a kid. Bruce Coville stuck in my mind because his books are the absolute best, and I read every single one of his that were out at the time. Even though I don't like to read science fiction, and the only science fiction I like is Star Wars, these books are the greatest of all time. In fact they're so awesome that I might as well as buy all of Bruce Coville's books and read them all over again. If you have a kid in elementary school, you must force them to read Bruce Coville books just like you make them brush their teeth and wash their hands. No child completely experiences childhood unless they read Bruce Coville. I guarantee that as soon as your kid reads one of Coville's books, they will be hooked.

If you like funny ones .......2004-11-10

The book I read is called My Teacher Glows in the Dark. It was a really good book. The book was about a boy named Peter. He went into space with an alien named Broxholm. Peter spent five months with Broxholm. Peter decided to go with Broxholm into space. Peter had a change of mind; he wanted to go back to earth but it was too late. Peter and his friends Susan and Duncan suspected something wierd about their teacher. They went to his house when they looked into the window and saw something wierd. Their teacher glows in the dark they couldn't believe what they were seeing. Peter's teacher dies in the ship and Peter and Broxholm can't help him to get better. If you what to see what happens at the end of the book, go to your nearest library and check it out. Remember My Teacher Glows in the Dark.

Coville takes the My Teacher series to a whole new level.......2003-12-12

My Teacher Glows in the Dark is the third book in Bruce Coville's My Teacher series. While these books are written primarily for a 4th-6th grade audience, I as an adult have had a lot of fun reading them. I especially love Coville's way of presenting each story in the series. The series revolves around three pretty normal kids on Earth - the smart and brave Susan Simmons, nerdy dreamer Peter Thompson, and bully turned nice guy with newly-acquired brain-fried intelligence Duncan Dougal. Susan narrated the first book in the series, My Teacher is an Alien, wherein she discovers that her new teacher is an alien and joins up with Peter to stop him from kidnapping five students. Duncan narrated the second book, My Teacher Fried My Brains, in which we see inside his unhappy life, come to understand why he lashes out at people the way he does, and admire his effort to turn over a new leaf in life with the help of an artificially-advanced intelligence. Now, in My Teacher Glows in the Dark, it is Peter's turn to tell a part of the story.

While this is book three of the series, it actually fills in the gap separating books one and two. Peter left with the alien Broxholm at the end of book one and showed up back on earth at the end of book two, and now we get to hear what he has been doing up in space over the course of the earth's summer. I found this to be the most enjoyable book of the series so far; instead of dealing with an alien among humans, we now have a human among aliens, and this makes for a decidedly entertaining read. We meet all kinds of aliens, learn a few things about a few of their cultures, and get to see all kinds of alien technology in use. In addition to this, the human side of the story takes on much more significance. As luck would have it, the Interplanetary Council is debating whether or not to destroy Earth, and Peter finds himself smack dab in the middle of trying to save the world he left behind. Peter's friendships with several aliens on board the ship are really quite touching, as is his passion for doing whatever he, a boy of about twelve, can do to save his home planet.

With the action taking place in space, there is a much stronger science fiction element to this book than its predecessors, leading me to believe that many a young reader would simply eat this book up. With new and increasingly unusual aliens waiting around every corner, futuristic machines doing amazing things all over the place, and Earth's future hanging precariously in the balance, My Teacher Glows in the Dark sets the stage for a most promising climax in the fourth and final book of the series, My Teacher Flunked the Planet.

Great sci-fi intro.......2002-03-20

This is a great series to introduce a pre-teen to sci-fi! I would start out with the first book (My Teacher is an Alien.) I think this book would come next -- when I was a pre-teen, this was my favorite book of the series. "My Teacher Fried my Brains" would be another great book for someone who liked this one, becuase it describes what happened to the other characters during this time period. "My Teacher Flunked the Planet" (the last book) is okay, but the constant social commentary can grow tiresome. Highly recommended.

Another Coville success!.......1999-03-29

I recommend this book if you like stories with aliens. My book had some adventure and fantasy elements. For instance, one alien lives under the water with other aliens. If you like other books in this series, you will enjoy this one. I would recommend reading My Teacher is an Alien before this book.

Daughters loved it!!!.......2007-03-15

My daughters loved it. laughed out loud, AND they get credit for it as an AR book at school! Fantastic!

I give this book an A+.......2006-05-30

This was an incredible ending to a fun series that was started with My Teacher is an Alien. While it remained fun, it was also much more intense, like ice water suddenly dumped on you unexpectedly.

But I think it's "kid safe." As a child I saw Return to Oz and had horrid nightmares; by the age of 10 I read a short horror story for adults where I find out that the man telling the story is insane and his family is dead and I broke out in tears. Yet as sensitive as I was, this book did not cause a severe reaction, but pulled me in with its shocking surprises, both hopeful and horrid. Bruce Coville has done a truly amazing job at making the horrors of the world accessible to kids (though probably not younger than 10) without being either traumatizing or patronizing about it, though he did (thankfully) gloss over some of the worse parts. (Example: "What had already been done to those people was so ugly I cannot bring myself to describe it, even though the memory of it remains like a scar burned into my brain with a hot iron.")

Furthermore, I would add that this is not a book promoting any ideology. This doesn't encourage your children to grow up and vote Democrat or Republican, or embrace socialism or libertarianism. This is a book promoting VALUES. And contrary to the propaganda of many ideologues and Party Pushers, values and ideology are two completely different things.

All ideologies, to my knowledge, explain the ways that they think are best for solving the problems Coville brings up. But values determine what gets done; ideology detemines how it gets done. A revolution that changes ideology but not values will only change the HOW things get done, not WHAT gets done. Even functioning anarchies (communes, tribal, even regions like Barcelona in the Spanish Civil War) show that the values that are shared by a community will be displayed, no matter what system is in place.

If I get into an ideological debate with someone who shares the same values as I do, then what we're debating is the best way to solve the same problem, not debating if the problem exists or how important it is. I also find that I much prefer the company of people who have different political leanings from myself but share my values to those who share my political leanings but not my values. I think that Bruce Coville, intentionally or unintentionally, has also expressed this view ("...not the leaders, not the government, just the people..."). Which is to say, don't fear that your child will be brainwashed into serving some political agenda, though Coville might get help your child to care in the first place.

Finally, the book does show much that is noble and good about humanity, too. I found it to be ultimately hopeful, if sobering.

In many ways, it's a child's version of Carl Sagan's Contact. While Contact has a credible alien society, IMO, My Teacher Flunked the Planet has entertaining aliens. But both books help us, kid or adult, look seriously at the insanity of our planet's societies, and also the hope.

The World Isn't That Bad.......2004-05-26

Pro: this was an exciting, interesting book. I enjoyed reading it and re-reading it.

Con: Bruce Coville can get very preachy at times. In this book we look at the worst of humanity, and he makes it sound like all of humanity is a terrible violent monsters. But while there are horrible things in the world, you must realize they are showing us the worst-there are better! And with all the no doubt millions of alien races, we're the worst of the worst? Yeah, right. I especially hate it when he talks about the television as if it serves to purpose other than to turn our brain into swiss cheese.

If you can get over the self-righteousness and the pessimism about the human race, this is a lovely book.

A little disappointing but certainly worthwhile.......2003-12-12

I have to admit I was a little disappointed in this concluding story in Bruce Coville's My Alien series. This is a much more serious book than its predecessors, conveying a strong message about human society today. While it addresses important issues such as war, poverty, starvation, and other social ills, it comes off as a tad preachy in places. The fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, and it is up to the series' three young heroes to convince a worried Interplanetary Council that the planet should be spared. Susan Simmons, Duncan Dougal, and Peter Thompson come together as a complete unit for the first time, each having previously narrated his/her own account of the events and discoveries leading up to the ultimate final challenge. Susan has exposed her new teacher as a reptilian alien on a mission to "kidnap" five students for study, Duncan has gone from slow-witted bully to a nice, highly intelligent young man after having his brains "fried," and Peter has traveled into the depths of space and met all manner of alien creatures. With the help of a few human-friendly aliens, they now face the largest challenge conceivable: proving to the leaders of the galaxy that all hope for humanity's mending its wicked ways is not lost. If they fail, the Earth will be destroyed in much the same way harmful bacteria are eradicated before they can spread their harmful influence beyond the localized area in which they are currently festering.

Things aren't looking very good for life on Earth; traveling in disguise back on their home planet, our team gets a close-up look at many of mankind's worst ills, and even the kids are often at a loss as to how to defend a people who do such terrible things to one another. All of this is well and good (albeit a little too preachy), but the conclusion of the story (and thus of the whole series) was a let-down. The big climax is more of a hit-and-run than a well-executed denouement, leaving me looking down for the rug that Coville pulled from under my feet at the last minute. It's still an impressive final book in a very entertaining series, but I just expected something more. While this book is by far the most important of the series, incorporating issues that some young readers may not have a full grasp on yet, it is far less entertaining and amusing than the first three books. For a youngster ready to make the move to more serious children's fiction, though, My Teacher Flunked the Planet stands as a gateway to a world where learning takes its place alongside pure entertainment.

A sobering story.......2001-04-16

Many science fiction books that are written for children aim to take them away into a fantasy land where anything can happen. Not this one. This story takes a hopeful mind back to the grim reality of the planet we live in, with all its violence, disease, and emotional pain presented in the book the way it really is. A continuation to a trilogy of somewhat less exciting books, My Teacher Flunked the Planet shows its readers how truly perverse and ignorant we ALL are, and shows that even those characters who believe they are above it all (some of the aliens) have as many flaws of their own as do we "barbaric" humans. I too noticed the strong liberal political messages in the book, after I had read it through several times. But even those who do not agree with Coville's political ambitions should be able to readily enjoy this book for its raw imaginary excitement.

Book Description

Throughout history, humans have dreamed of knowing the reason for the existence of the universe. In The Mind of God, physicist Paul Davies explores whether modern science can provide the key that will unlock this last secret. In his quest for an ultimate explanation, Davies reexamines the great questions that have preoccupied humankind for millennia, and in the process explores, among other topics, the origin and evolution of the cosmos, the nature of life and consciousness, and the claim that our universe is a kind of gigantic computer. Charting the ways in which the theories of such scientists as Newton, Einstein, and more recently Stephen Hawking and Richard Feynman have altered our conception of the physical universe. Davies puts these scientists' discoveries into context with the writings of philosophers such as Plato. Descartes, Hume, and Kant. His startling conclusion is that the universe is "no minor byproduct of mindless, purposeless forces. We are truly meant to be here." By the means of science, we can truly see into the mind of God.

Loved this book.......2007-09-11

Paul Davies again show off his expertise in relating relatively difficult concepts of science and philosophy in a very clear and lucid way for the lay reader. Also like to point out that for people who think scientist are simply material reductionist that look at the universe with a very cold and harsh perspective. Read this book from one of the worlds most respect scientist.

To understand creation is to understand beauty.......2007-07-14

If an ant were placed on a statue in the Louvre what would he say of his surroundings?

The predictable mundane descriptions of most have characterized the general state of science writing but not here where physicist Paul Davies genuinely resonates with the subject he purports to discuss and the question he seeks to answer, namely:

Where do we come from?

Twenty five centuries ago, Plato hypothesized that somewhere there these perfect forms that found themselves dimly reflected in the reality we now inhabit. Today, mathematics is sort of today's vision of Plato's perfect forms.

However, it's a decidedly different kind of mathematics than was understood by Plato.

Whereas in his day it was thought that only one straight line could pass through any two points and in his day it was thought that mathematics could find all discoverable truths, today we understand differently.

Today we know that there are versions of mathematics -- non Euclidian -- wherein more than two straight lines can pass through a single point and that also every mathematical system we use will be limited in reaching certain truths.

The major significance of these mathematical variations from the understanding of that of Plato is that our version of perfect is therefore necessarily very different from that understood by Plato.

Strangely, though, his basic model of forms that effect a reality which are then understood when that reality produces conscious life is preserved. Indeed, John Wheeler's model of a universe almost designed to achieve self awareness seems to lie at the heart of Davies' metaphysical sense about the nature of creation.

So where do we come from?

The answer depends on how deeply the question is asked. At it's deepest level, it would seem that certain laws do order physical creation. And, as indicated it would seem that those laws are (as observed in this book and also in Hofstadter's Godel Escher Bach) self reflective in nature.

Once physical it would seem that nature reuses this self reflective template as well as other artistic mathematical concepts. For example J Richard Gott suggested that the universe can actually create itself. The reason for this is that, prior to the Big Bang, all matter in the universe was condensed subatomically to a state so small that it was actually capable of traveling back through time to create itself. Indeed Gott, together with Lee Smolin, have suggested that the Big Bang is but one end of a universe producing process that also includes Black Holes...collapsed stars so great in size that not even light can escape from them. Under this view Gott and Smolin would suggest that Black Holes are really the input side of what is on its other side a Big Bang creating another universe with perhaps its own new laws and realities.

The mathematics for this Gott Smolin process involves self creating properties of multidimensional physical systems explored by August Mobius and Oscar Klein.

And though the energy level of our universe is zero, its constituted ingredients seem to involve great symmetries. Aside from the beginning with a Big Bang and ending with a Black Hole (both concentrations of large matter in small areas) the universe also displays great symmetry in the distribution of its forces and particles. Indeed, as forecast by Davies, an additional particle was actually discovered in conformity with the predictions of this book.

It is in this way that perhaps consciousness or the creation of "merely" mental worlds that natures need for symmetry is satisfied. For while we can physically travel to any physical point in God's universe, we need our consciousness itself to visit those perfect forms which can only be seen in the vistas of our imagination.

If such is the case, then this book is an excellent travel log for our journey.

One of the Best on the "Mind" of the Universe. .......2006-09-20

For me Davies is one of the best and most interesting of all writers on cosmology. He starts with logical series of infinte regressions that are the uncommon wisdom of children: "What came before the planets? What came before that? But what came before the universe?" -- all of these questions are valid and ones that fall usually outside the boundaries of most science. It is also a most profound thing that scientists who are at the edge of the essential questions of the universe are the ones most interested in a higher being.

Davies show us however that the answer depends a lot on how the question is answered. His analysis of time and space presage even larger questions about the nature of things existing and even the importance of having a universe where evolution has allowed a person to ask such questions. Also the if there is no time and space, there is no "before" in any sense that we can define.

The infamous chapter 7 of the book is really the most interesting and offers a vital link between eschatology in classical philosophy and how more modern scientists may view this question.

Make no mistake about this book. It is not some newer version of Kapra, replete with mystical linkages with no basis in science or thought -- Davies is most mechanistic in his explanations, but in instances where the question can be raised in an intellectually honesty way he does so with reference to the scholars whose ideas are most close to the subject, whether Kant or Spinoza. There is of course no cultural myth reading of Christianity at all in the text.

On the other hand one is looking for a rational belief in a "God" -- defined in the most broad possible terms as "creator of the universe" measured in science, then it needs to be stated that all of the explorations are themselces breaks from the science tradition and must ultimately be determined largely be an ineffable notion of something being true -- there is no "proof" of the Mind of God inside this book.

But Davies is the first to admit this and this is one reason why he will remain one of my favourite science writers.

Too much at times.......2005-12-28

Davies tries to interweave the beliefs of many of the world's greatest philosophers, like Jean-Paul Sartre and Kant, to modern day research and advancements in science.

The "Mind of God" is actually just a book about the ideas of Davies. It is his idea and belief about the limits of science, and the meaning of science.

I am not a physicists or a philosopher. The book is readable for the average person. Check it out if you get a chance.

Thorough, deep and enjoyable, but a little anthropocentric.......2005-11-17

I enjoyed reading this book very much and would recommend it. The discussion was deep and enthralling. Many issues were explored but some important ones weren't explored quite deeply enough - I wonder why. Although it seems to try not to be, I found this work to be too anthropocentric, which the very last paragraph illustrates clearly. At the end of the day, I don't think it's all about us.
