Excellent guided meditations

Revisado: 01-27-23

Are use these guided meditations to prepare and go through open-heart surgery. Personally, I found them extremely useful for relaxation and coping with anxiety, and for visualizing a positive outcome. If you are considering this book for its intended purpose, I wish you great success with your surgery and recovery.

If you want to understand America

Revisado: 01-06-21

This is an extraordinary book about systematic governmental, institutional, and legal actions and policies that created residential segregation, dramatically increased the racial wealth gap, and violated the constitutional and human rights of African-Americans over the last hundred years. The book is substantial, readable, and admirably straightforward and direct in its evidence and arguments. I found it and eye-opener, one of the most substantive and accessible books I have read about racism in America. Highly recommended.

One of the best books about coffee

Revisado: 12-07-20

This book is unusual among books dealing with coffee, because it is a volume with separate articles by diverse authors. It covers a wider range of topics than most books on coffee, and in more detail. I read it over a long period, cover to cover, and got a lot out of it. If you are seriously interested in knowing more about coffee around the world and in the United States, including specialty coffee and the entire process from farm to table, you may find this book worthwhile. As an audiobook, it works well, among other reasons because it is not one of those coffee books where beautiful color pictures are the main attraction. Well read nonfiction for the coffee enthusiast and would-be expert.

Explains our current crisis

Revisado: 06-12-20

This is without a doubt one of the most important books I have read in the last couple of years. If you want to understand how American democracy could come apart at the seams, and this disintegration is already happening, you should read this book. And if you want to understand our current situation in terms of its historical development, and comparisons with other countries—and if you prefer a presentation which is thoughtful and substantive rather than polemical—this is the book for you.

Interesting film history

Focused on production and distribution economics, technological innovation, and on the films and genres of biggest US films. Not focused on aesthetics.

An extraordinary audio book

Revisado: 02-06-19

This is a beautiful and moving short novel by James Baldwin. And the reader, or better to say performer or narrator, who has recorded it is absolutely stellar. Her interpretation of the main character is extraordinary, as is her characterization of the others who speak in the novel. Strongly recommended.

Ron Silver’s reading is moving and unforgettable

Revisado: 02-06-18

Extraordinary rendition by Ron Silver. Highly recommended. Is it counter factual historical fiction? Fictional autobiography? Chilling.
