Historia
Hardly anyone ever leaves Des Moines, Iowa. But Bill Bryson did, and after 10 years in England he decided to go home, to a foreign country. In an ageing Chevrolet Chevette, he drove nearly 14,000 miles through 38 states to compile this hilarious and perceptive state-of-the-nation report on small-town America.

Great American outdoors
Revisado: 10-26-22
This Book reminded me of my road trip to Colorado and it touched on certain elements that can relate to during that trip. The book is very similar to Blue highways and on the road on describing the adventures on the American roads.
Overall I love road trip books and the little adventures around the way

Historia
It's 1963, and Detroit is on top of the world. The city's leaders are among the most visionary in America. It was the American auto makers' best year; the revolution in music and politics was underway. Walter Reuther's UAW had helped lift the middle class. Once in a Great City shows that the shadows of collapse were evident even then. Yet so much of what Detroit gave America lasts.

Immortal words
Revisado: 05-17-21
Henry Ford wrote an outstanding memoir of his life and the business he runs. The book talks about society in the United States and modern capitalism. We learn a lot from how businesses thrive and what workers go through in the assembly line. This book also lays down the foundation to how capitalism in the United States shaped the gilded age, and how the average American can no longer be poor. Overall its historical and educational and highly recommend it.

Historia
When we think of Detroit, we think first of the auto industry and its slow, painful decline, then maybe the sounds of Motown, or the long line of professional sports successes. But economies are made up of people, and the effect of the economic downfall of Detroit is one of the most compelling stories in America. Detroit: A Biography by journalist and author Scott Martelle is about a city that rose because of the most American of traits - innovation, entrepreneurship, and an inspiring perseverance.

Historia
Beloved and hated, venerated and reviled, Andrew Jackson was an orphan who fought his way to the pinnacle of power, bending the nation to his will in the cause of democracy. Jackson's election in 1828 ushered in a new and lasting era in which the people, not distant elites, were the guiding force in American politics. Democracy made its stand in the Jackson years, and he gave voice to the hopes and the fears of a restless, changing nation facing challenging times at home and threats abroad.
