Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

I will make sure my children and family read it carefully.
Extremely valuable and thoroughly researched.

The legacy of imperial Spain was shaped by many hands. Chief among them was the towering figure of King Philip II, the cultivated Spanish monarch whom a contemporary once called "the arbiter of the world". Cheerful and pious, he inherited vast authority from his father but felt himself unworthy to wield it. His 42-year reign changed the face of the globe forever.

Great book from Hugh Thomas but excruciatingly poor narration.
Revisado: 04-13-16
I have read four books from Mr. Thomas. Conquest, Cuba, Rivers of Gold, Charles V , this is my first audiobook.
Any one who has read one of his books knows that there will be wealth of references to people and places and quotes, all in Spanish. Almost half the book is in Spanish as expected.
How is it possible then that Random/ Pinguin and Mr. Thomas would agree to launch an audiobook read by a narrator who doesn't speak a word of Spanish??
has no notion of how spanish letters are pronounced to be able to read them. Not even the right pronunciation of country names like Chile! Then slows down to a attempt to pronounce each word distracting rhe listener from the flow.
Not the narrrators fault if there was no evaluation by the author or publisher. He actually has a nice voice in english. But zero quality control from the author or the publisher! Have they listened to the book? Very disappointing! Not a good experience at all.
