Content was fine. The robot reader was just annoying. Clearly was reading unnecessary page information.

The authors devoted five decades to the study of world history and philosophy, culminating in the masterful 11-volume Story of Civilization. In this compact summation of their work, Will and Ariel Durant share the vital and profound lessons of our collective past. Their perspective, gained after a lifetime of thinking and writing about the history of humankind, is an invaluable resource for us today.

The idea is simple: You don't have to choose between being a pushover and a jerk. Using Radical Candor - avoiding the perils of Obnoxious Aggression, Manipulative Insincerity, and Ruinous Empathy - you can be kind and clear at the same time. Kim Scott was a highly successful leader at Google before decamping to Apple, where she developed and taught a management class.

Steven Rinella (The MeatEater Podcast) and Clay Newcomb (MeatEater's Bear Grease podcast) gather listeners for a new round of stories, this time drawing from the lives of the rugged Long Hunters, who include such figures as Daniel Boone, Henry Skaggs, and Kasper Mansker. These were the commercial hunters and trappers who explored and exploited the First Far West, the land across the Appalachian Mountains, in the era between the Seven Years War and the American Revolution—one of the most fabled periods of American history.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 337
In 1908, near Folsom, New Mexico, a cowboy discovered the remains of a herd of extinct giant bison. By examining flint points embedded in the bones, archeologists later determined that a band of humans had killed and butchered the animals 12,450 years ago. This discovery vastly expanded America's known human history but also revealed the long-standing danger Homo sapiens presented to the continent's evolutionary richness. Distinguished scholar Dan Flores's ambitious history chronicles the epoch in which humans and animals have coexisted in the "wild new world" of North America.

Twilight of the Gods is a riveting account of the harrowing last year of World War II in the Pacific, when the US Navy won the largest naval battle in history; MacArthur made good his pledge to return to the Philippines; waves of kamikazes attacked the Allied fleets; the Japanese fought to the last man on one island after another; B-29 bombers burned down Japanese cities; and Hiroshima and Nagasaki were vaporized. Toll's narratives of combat in the air, at sea, and on the beaches are gripping, but he also takes the listener into the halls of power in Washington and Tokyo.

Enlightening glimpse into the Pacific Theater
Revisado: 04-03-23
The telling of World War II always seems biased in the direction of the the European theater. This book goes deep into the pacific war, detailing how the army and navy fought side-by-side to accomplish undisputed victory over imperial Japan.

The Bolsheviks promised that they were building a new society, a workers’ paradise that would change the nature of mankind itself. What they ended up constructing was the largest prison the world had ever seen: a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics that spanned half the globe.

Great story. Terrible narration
Revisado: 03-10-23
I love Michael Malice books! This one seems like something is wrong with the narration. It feels really unnatural, kinda like I’m getting slammed with words rather than a book being read to me. Weird.

- The True Story of China's Genocide of the Uyghurs
- De: Nury Turkel
- Narrado por: Stewart Lang
Powerful & revealing book exposing the CCP’s dark underbelly.
Revisado: 11-30-22
Nury’s telling of CCP’s genocidal treatment of the Uyghur people is heartbreaking and truly horrifying. When we think of genocide, most of us think about the nazi concentration camps and the mass execution of Jews and Romani. The CCP is today taking those same tactics in China, adding a 21st century twist of cyber monitoring, to prop up the Han demographic at the expense of the Uyghurs. This is a telling look at the hidden parts of the CCP. A must read.
