Historia5 out of 5 stars 326
For generations the electric guitar has been an international symbol of freedom, danger, rebellion, and hedonism. In Play It Loud, Brad Tolinski and Alan di Perna bring the history of this iconic instrument to roaring life. It's a story of inventors and iconoclasts, of scam artists, prodigies, and mythologizers as varied and original as the instruments they spawned. Play It Loud uses 12 landmark guitars - each of them artistic milestones in their own right - to illustrate the conflict and passion the instruments have inspired.

Massad Ayoob with another excellent book.
Very interesting from just a recent events perspective, facts not clouded by the media’s
nearly always wrong view.
This book is an absolute must if you carry a gun for self defense. Superbly narrated.
I just wish Ayoob would do audio versions of his other books!

Global demand for power is doubling every two decades, but electricity remains one of the most difficult forms of energy to supply and do so reliably. Today, some three billion people live in places where per-capita electricity use is less than what's used by an average American refrigerator. How we close the colossal gap between the electricity rich and the electricity poor will determine our success in addressing issues like women's rights, inequality, and climate change.

Amazing story by an amazing storyteller.
Geddy has been telling stories in music and song for so many years and this lives up to the excellence of those but in words.
Not just a tale of Rush but gut wrenching revelations about his family during the Nazi Holocaust. From the beginning it grabbed me and I couldn’t stop listening. This book is a definite must for Rush fans but a great listen to even the uninitiated.

From Genesis to Job, the Hebrew scriptures contain some of the most influential stories in Western civilization. But what do these stories tell us about daily life in ancient Israel? And why do they still speak to us today? In 24 captivating lectures, Professor Chapman introduces you to the stories of the Judeans in exile and grounds them in their historical context, giving you a grand vision of history as presented in the scriptures.

Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner first crossed paths as actors on the set of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Little did they know that their next roles, in a new science-fiction television series, would shape their lives in ways no one could have anticipated. In 79 television episodes of Star Trek and six feature films, they grew to know each other more than most friends could ever imagine. Over the course of half a century, Shatner and Nimoy saw each other through personal and professional highs and lows.

The narration is superb, obviously Shatner has done this before! The book is a biography of Leonard Nimoy, but also a story of two friends who shared personal and professional lives over the years. A must for any Star Trek fan.

The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age.

Amazing
Revisado: 11-07-23
Andy Serkis is an amazing narrator.
Hundreds of characters in this massive
Middle Earth pre-history each are given a unique voice by Andy’s genius as an actor and narrator. The Silmarillion isn’t written like Tolkien’s Hobbit and Lord of the Rings and can be quite dry at times.
Andy brings the Middle Earth mythology to life and makes it fascinating to listen to.

What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There's no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson. But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in digestible chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.

Well written and well narrated, a quick overview of astrophysics from a non mathematical perspective.
Mind expanding and thought provoking topics about known astrophysical phenomena and also those that are merely speculative at this point. Great listen for scientists and laymen alike.
