First time in trade paperback: the memoir by the late Leonard Nimoy; best remembered for his portrayal as everyone's favorite Vulcan; Spock; in Star Trek; the TV series and films. Leonard Nimoy's portrayal of the ever-logical Vulcan; Mr. Spock; is one of the most recognizable; loved; and pervasive characterizations in popular culture. He had been closer to the phenomenon of Star Trek than anyone; having played the pivotal role of Spock in the original series; in six motion pictures; and in a special two-part episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I AM SPOCK gives us Nimoy's unique perspective on the beginnings of the Star Trek phenomenon; on his relationship with his costars; and particularly on the reaction of the pointed-eared alien that Nimoy knew best. Here; Nimoy shared the true story behind his perceived reticence to re-create the role and wrote frankly about how his portrayal defined an icon.

Menocal clearly and intelligently shows how the varied monotheist in Spain lived and worked together to form peaceful and productive society over a long time; many different administrations; and large geography. Would it were that ISIS is doing chest thumping about their peaceful integration with the other monotheist to improve medicine; art and science instead of calling young men to rape preteen girls.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
