the details of the various characters in the srory

really good depiction of a little remembered time in US history. I appreciate Garfield and his contemporaries much better. also explained how the Republican party drifted after civil war and subsequent corruption.

truth

Revisado: 01-10-24

as a west point grad and a southern white male, this book struck home. the author writes in a personal way about his maturation. this should be required reading at all military academies, because our future leaders need this in order to lead our country to a better future.

Obama's insight into how our fears hold us back

Revisado: 11-28-23

good homespun wisdom that she has gained thru experience and from others, especially her mom. this book along with her other book, Becoming, help me to understand her better and to further my respect for her. I wish she had spent more time describing the struggles she had with her healthy kids initiative.

One of the Best of a good series

Revisado: 11-14-22

I've read most of the Cork O Conner series and this is an excellent story of murder, tragedy, racial prejudice, human failings and good people. Against the backdrop of racial hatred and suspicion, a few good people are able to work together to solve a horrific murder.

I appreciate Lincoln more than ever.

Revisado: 11-10-22

The best Lincoln novel I've read. Meacham has researched and written a human story of this remarkable man. he shows Lincoln as a man with failings but one who steadfastly rose above the various factions to lead the nation beyond its monstrous failings and divisions. After reading this book its hard to imagine any other leading this nation through a necessary but almost impossible eradication of its people clinging to a way of life that was holding the country back from realizing its true potential.

For anyone with Afib/Flutter

Revisado: 04-05-22

I've had paroxysmal afib/flutter for over 6 years with cardioversion and ablation as experiences. I've done a lot of reading and this book covers all the bases. it Advocates a healthy lifestyle and a whole person approach to Afib cure. it also argues for steps to eliminate drugs as a treatment for afib. Best description I've read of the many limitations / side effects of most of the arrhythmia and rate control drugs. also goes into much detail on the risks and rewards of ablation.
A must listen for anyone who wishes to escape the quality of life trap that many folks with afib experience.
