Utilizing the linguistic insights of her “witty and brilliant” (Blyth Roberson, author of America the Beautiful?) first book Wordslut and the sociological explorations of her breakout hit Cultish, Amanda Montell now turns her erudite eye to the inner workings of the human mind and its biases in her most personal and electrifying work yet.

We all can use help understanding our thoughts, biases and worries. Today’s contentious atmosphere makes matters worse. This book is a delightful way to contemplate how we can all do better

Refreshing viewpoint
Revisado: 06-17-24
An interesting look at the theology and philosophy among notable figures in the fight against slavery.
A bit too much about Hegel. ( even a little is hard to take) but don’t let that keep you from listening to this intriguing book

Essential American history

Before I read this book the only thing I knew about the 1680 Pueblo revolt was that something happened. So glad I know so much more now. This is an essential part of history. What a story of tragedy and courage.

In May 2016, Fort McMurray, the hub of Canada’s oil industry and America’s biggest foreign supplier, was overrun by wildfire. The multi-billion-dollar disaster melted vehicles, turned entire neighborhoods into firebombs, and drove 88,000 people from their homes in a single afternoon. Through the lens of this apocalyptic conflagration—the wildfire equivalent of Hurricane Katrina—John Vaillant warns that this was not a unique event, but a shocking preview of what we must prepare for in a hotter, more flammable world.

Bad Mexicans tells the dramatic story of the magonistas, the migrant rebels who sparked the 1910 Mexican Revolution from the United States. Led by a brilliant but ill-tempered radical named Ricardo Flores Magon, the magonistas were a motley band of journalists, miners, migrant workers, and more, who organized thousands of Mexican workers—and American dissidents—to their cause. Determined to oust Mexico's dictator, Porfirio Diaz, the rebels had to outrun and outsmart the swarm of US authorities vested in protecting the Diaz regime.

Mia, the irreverent, hyperanalytical twenty-year-old daughter, has an explanation for everything—which is why she isn’t initially concerned when her father and younger brother Eugene don’t return from a walk in a nearby park. They must have lost their phone. Or stopped for an errand somewhere. But by the time Mia’s brother runs through the front door bloody and alone, it becomes clear that the father in this tight-knit family is missing and the only witness is Eugene, who has the rare genetic condition Angelman syndrome and cannot speak.

Impossible
Revisado: 04-05-23
A good thriller should not ask the reader to suspend all logic. Interesting build up but about the last 3rd is absurd. I almost didn’t finish it as I could see where it was going- and it was frankly dumb.

I found this to be one of my favorites. The plot is complicated enough to keep you guessing. And a nice bit of a personal insight into Joe.

A successful film professor and podcaster, Bodie Kane is content to forget her past—the family tragedy that marred her adolescence, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school, and the murder of her former roommate, Thalia Keith, in the spring of their senior year. Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia’s death and the conviction of the school’s athletic trainer, Omar Evans, are hotly debated online, Bodie prefers—needs—to let sleeping dogs lie.

What a journey. This book hit many nerves and got me motivated to learn from the past but not let the past ruin the present. A complex look at social media too. Read this book - you will be the better for it!

Pacific Gas and Electric was a legacy company built by innovators and visionaries, establishing California as a desirable home and economic powerhouse. In California Burning, Wall Street Journal reporter and Pulitzer finalist Katherine Blunt examines how that legacy fell apart—unraveling a long history of deadly failures in which Pacific Gas and Electric endangered millions of Northern Californians, through criminal neglect of its infrastructure.

Well researched. Starts a bit slow but builds into a sort of detective story. We all use electricity. We should all read this.
