Historia
Declan Walsh is one of the New York Times's most distinguished international correspondents. His electrifying portrait of Pakistan over a tumultuous decade captures the sweep of this strange, wondrous, and benighted country through the dramatic lives of nine fascinating individuals. On assignment as the country careened between crises, Walsh traveled from the raucous port of Karachi to the salons of Lahore, and from Baluchistan to the mountains of Waziristan. He met a diverse cast of extraordinary Pakistanis....

Informative, revealing & honest... with a tinge of
Revisado: 03-22-23
It's an excellent book with a lot of revealing information, even for many Pakistanis. The author is clearly a subject matter expert on everything newsworthy about Pakistan. However, I have taken away a star for the condescending tone used much too frequently for my liking and a bit if racism or cultural bias trickled here and there (for e.g. the word "Jihad" only being referred to with its violence related connotations and the word "crusade" being used for perseverance , i.e. positive connotations).
I would have loved it even more if the author's resentment on being deported out of Pakistan had not reflected in his book so blatantly, which makes the reader doubt his impartiality to some extent.
The narration was just OK and would have been much better with a South Asian narrator, who would have been able to pronounce all the words correctly.

Historia
The Anarchy tells the remarkable story of how one of the world’s most magnificent empires disintegrated and came to be replaced by a dangerously unregulated private company, based thousands of miles overseas in one small office, five windows wide, and answerable only to its distant shareholders. In his most ambitious and riveting audiobook to date, William Dalrymple tells the story of the East India Company as it has never been told before, unfolding a timely cautionary tale of the first global corporate power.

This book is a work of art. Credit to the author for not just relying one resources from one side, but from all parties involved, as he always does. As this is told like a story, it is joy reading and/or listening to it. I plan on reading/listening to this again.

Historia
In his own words, the heavyweight champion of the world pulls no punches as he chronicles the battles he faced in and out of the ring in this fascinating memoir edited by Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Toni Morrison. Growing up in the South, surrounded by racial bigotry and discrimination, Ali fought not just for a living, but also for respect and rewards far more precious than money or glory. He was named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated and the BBC.

Historia
For centuries, the works of Aristotle and other Greek thinkers were preserved in the Arabic world, where they profoundly influenced Muslim thinkers who were trying to combine philosophical insight with religious piety. The intellectual range of this great tradition is remarkable: nothing escaped investigation, from details of medicine to the mysteries of God's nature. Avicenna and Averroes produced philosophical systems that rival the greatest intellectual structures ever built.

A Great Introduction

A great introduction to the works of Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Al Ghazali and Ibn Rushd (Averroes). But this is just the starting point to put you on your path to learn more about the works of some of the greatest minds in human history.

Historia
Islam has been one of the most powerful religious, social, and political forces in history. Over the last 1,400 years, from origins in Arabia, a succession of Muslim polities, and later empires expanded to control territories and peoples that ultimately stretched from southern France to East Africa and South East Asia. Yet many of the contributions of Muslim thinkers, scientists, and theologians, not to mention rulers, statesmen, and soldiers, have been occluded. This book rescues from oblivion and neglect some of these personalities and institutions.

A Masterpiece!
Revisado: 06-25-21
It's amazing how world history books are usually about European Christian history and skip over the Golden Age of Islam, which happened while Europe was in its Dark Ages. A book that all Muslims and Non-Muslims should read.
This is in no way a complete detailed history of Islam, but rather an introduction to Islamic History. Feels like an amazing preface to a more detailed history book that I would love to read one day, if and when it comes from the same author.

A beautiful book on the true Soul of Islam
Revisado: 06-19-19
I truly loved listening to this insightful book. This is the Islam I grew up with, the Islam I was taught in school and at home, the Islam I've always known.
Thank you for reminding us of our true values, the ones we need to continue to adhere to as a community.

Historia
Bryan Cranston landed his first role at seven, when his father, a struggling actor and director, cast him in a United Way commercial. Soon Bryan was haunting the local movie theater, memorizing and reenacting favorite scenes with his older brother. Acting was clearly the boy's destiny - until one day his father disappeared. Suddenly destiny took a backseat to survival. Seeking something more stable, perhaps subconsciously trying to distance himself from his absent father, Cranston decided on a career in law enforcement.
