每个人都有灵光一闪的时刻！贝蒂博士试图用五天教会绘画的方式启发人们积极开发自己的右脑——在传统教育系统中被忽视的创造力大脑。通过五天对边线、空间、相互关系、光影等这些绘画基本技巧的掌握，获得一种新的视角，也就是像艺术家一样看事物，并且表达出来，在这个过程中开发自己大脑的创造性潜力，从而在日常生活、学习、工作中获得一种新鲜的、富有创造力的解决问题的方式。这是一本教你在最短时间，用最高效率学会绘画技巧的书，它在美国一下销了400万册，可见非常实用。美国是一个非常注重实用的国家，讲实用比讲这个、讲那个漂亮的空话要强。《洛杉矶时报》评论本书：它“不仅是一本讲绘画的书，更是一本讲生存的书。原本是教人如何绘画的优秀教材，却不能仅仅当做一本教材来看待。它解放了很多人的思想”。书中包含许多绘画练习，有“颠倒画”、“自画像”和“改良轮廓画”。艾德华的许多观点现已成为主流，你会发现这本书对最近的众多出版物产生很大的影响，非常值得一读

20世纪60年代人口爆炸和全球饥荒令人忧心忡忡，70年代资源枯竭甚嚣尘上，80年代酸雨来了，90年代轮到瘟疫。21世纪初，全世界为全球变暖集体焦虑。可是，这些恐慌（除了最后一个）全都来了又走了。人类只是运气太好吗？
主流的悲观论调宣称情况正在越变越糟，但他们已经这么说了整整两百年。
再看看实际情况。食品供给、收入和人均寿命步步走高，疾病、儿童死亡率和暴力事件轮番下降；生活必需品和奢侈品确实变得更便宜了；继亚洲摆脱贫困之后，非洲也跟上了它的脚步；互联网、手机和集装箱运输前所未有地丰富了人们的生活。生活实际上越变越好，全球皆然。
本书不光阐述了情况怎样越变越好，还解释了原因。繁荣来自人人为人人效力。始于十多万年前的交换和专业分工习惯，创造出加速改善人类生活水平的集体大脑。
这本大胆的书涵盖了人类的整个历史，从石器时代说到互联网，从旧制度的积重难返讲到蒸汽机的发明，从新近的人口爆炸谈到气候变化可能的后果。天灾人祸固然必不可免，但多亏了人类发明创造的无穷能力，21世纪必将实现巨大的经济繁荣，最可能发生的不是气候的灾难性变化，而是中国人、印度人、非洲人，都过得像美国人那样欣欣向荣。

Battlestar Galactica 是随七十年代星球大战的电影热潮而制成的科幻电视剧，虽然其曾经制作过电影版本，但最后因为粗制滥造而导致整个系列失败收场。经过三十年后的今天，Battlestar Galactica 已算是一套经典的科幻影片，故于 2003 年由美国的科幻电视台 SCI FI Channel 拍板重新制作长达三小时的迷你电视剧，相较起旧有版本，这次已引入很多先进的计算机技术，务求令观众耳目一新。
基本上，新旧版本的剧本变化不大，有所分别的则是剧中的数个人物转了性别；此外，所有的机械设定，例如人类所用的战机、战舰，又或是机械人 Cylons 的设计已经经过现代化，不会有追不上潮流的感觉。而这次的新版本因为得到众多观众好评，故 SCI FI Channel 在近期宣布重拍这套电视剧，希望能够继续延续这个科幻经典传奇。

在经过数十年漫长、死伤无数的战争结朿后，人们本以为可得到和平的生活，但 Cylons 明白到即使在休战后始终没辨法与人类建立实际的外交关系，故 Cylons 开始密?#092;另一个对付人类的计划，这次它们将会制造一些与人类一模一样的机械人作间碟渗入人类世界，从而以里应外合的方法把人类消灭。
