Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 4
Best-selling author Chris Turner brings listeners onto the streets of Fort McMurray, showing the myriad ways the oil sands of Alberta impact our lives and demanding that we ask the question: To both fuel the world and to save it, what do we do about the Patch? This is no conventional story about the oil business. Rather, it is a portrait of the life cycle of the Patch, showing just how deeply it continues to impact the lives of everyone around the world.

Narrator needs to do homework before reading
Revisado: 12-17-18
I really wanted to get through this book. I may still buy an old time paper version. I have worked in the industry for a long time (though I'm moving to the edges of it) and I'd heard great things about it.
unfortunately, I am left to assume that the narrator failed to do any homework while narrating this story. The horrible mispronunciations of commonplace oil and gas terms (in particular, "bitumen", "in situ") were extremely distracting, and were making me think of the text as being similarly shoddy. To be clear, from the 40 mins I got through the book wasn't shoddy, in fact it sounded like it could be quite good.
I returned the purchase. I may still go get a paper copy. But know that if you work in or around the industry you will likely find it very distracting as well.

What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

great message, but not much meat
Revisado: 08-16-18
Jordan Peterson is a brilliant man. this book has a great message, but I find much of it to be common sense. maybe that means I'm not the target audience (and I could see it being a very powerful message for a younger, more troubled audience). I hope those who need this message find this book.
well read by the author, but that Kermit voice can be a bit much for long drives.
