Essential to Understanding History and Politics.
Revisado: 01-08-21
This book contains much of what is overlooked in the pursuit of convenience by people seeking to establish a political mythology today. This book challenges the academic mind to consider more than the typical college class would want you to believe in regards to how societies function and shines a light on the motivations of so many people interacting across the planet and across time itself.

Historia
How we choose which foods to eat is growing more complicated by the day, and the straightforward, practical approach of What to Eat has been praised as welcome relief. As Nestle takes us through each supermarket section - produce, dairy, meat, fish - she explains the issues, cutting through foodie jargon and complicated nutrition labels and debunking the misleading health claims made by big food companies. With Nestle as our guide, we are shown how to make wise food choices - and are inspired to eat sensibly and nutritiously.

Misleading Title and Description
Revisado: 09-24-20
Dr. Nestle put a lot of time an effort into this book, and it's very well written. However, much of the book is about industry and politics. Judging from how I experienced the book, I would say it's about half politics and half about food. And overall there is maybe 5-10% information that can help -me- make decisions about food. This book should be titled "What to Tell Your Congressman," because Dr. Nestle places much more emphasis on political action regarding food than daily choices.
Not a bad book, but not what it sells itself as. This book was increasingly annoying as Dr. Nestle constantly tells the reader/listener what to write to their congressman about the food industry. I'm not looking for big-daddy government to help me select food, I want to know what I can do in my own personal life.
2 Stars overall because it is well researched and well written but has very little to do with the title and description. A short, to-the-point, apolitical, summary version about the food itself would probably only be 2-3 hours and would have been much better.

Historia
Music is an integral part of humanity. Every culture has music, from the largest society to the smallest tribe. Its marvelous range of melodies, themes, and rhythms taps in to something universal. Babies are soothed by it. Young adults dance for hours to it. Older adults can relive their youth with the vivid memories it evokes. Music is part of our most important rituals, and it has been the medium of some of our greatest works of art.

Historia
From the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

Incredible and profound!

This is one of the most profound books I have ever encountered. As an aspiring writer, and a student training in psychology and anthropology, I deeply enjoyed the thorough and challenging content of this book. I recommend Dr Peterson's book to anyone interested in understanding people at a fundamental level, including one's self. Get this book now. You will appreciate it.

Historia
Language defines us as a species, placing humans head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

Insightful and Fun
Revisado: 01-05-20
John McWhorter does a great job explaining some introductory concepts of linguistics. I learned a lot about English and other languages and I appreciate just how complicated languages are, and have a deeper appreciation for the beauty of English and the new languages that have diverged from it.

Historia
When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York.

Perspective
Revisado: 11-04-19
Well written and spoken, Malala's story presents enough detail to get a sense of the culture without being overbearing or irrelevant. Those concepts are then used throughout the book so that as the story unfolds the reader is not culturally clueless. The stories flow well and it is an enjoyable listen that doesn't get boring.

Essential piece of the series. Wonderful narration
Revisado: 10-26-19
This book tells one of the most essential tales about the Horus Heresy. The culture, philosophy, and mission of the Imperium are pushed to their breaking point, and then broken. Dembski-Bowden's The First Heretic has become one of my favorites in the series with wonderfully artistic writing and a strong set of fully rounded characters. Gareth Armstrong does an outstanding job narrating and he give texture to every character's voice. It's almost as if they're right there next to you.
