Historia
This explosive new audiobook challenges many of the long-held assumptions about blacks, about Jews, about Germans and Nazis, about slavery, and about education. Plainly written, powerfully reasoned, and backed with a startling array of documented facts, Black Rednecks and White Liberals takes on the trendy intellectuals of our times as well as historic interpreters of American life.

Refreshing Look into Race, Progress, and Culture
Revisado: 02-12-21
Sowell does an amazing job of showing the importance of culture in a person's success and growth, and from that how we can see a certain group's growth over time as well. Emphasis on how impactful a culture one comes from is masterfully painted and enlightening in a world where no thoughtful conversations are taking place. highly recommend.

Historia
Escape the enemy's deadly trap! The Bait of Satan exposes one of the most deceptive snares Satan uses to get believers out of the will of God - offense. Most people who are ensnared by the bait of Satan don’t even realize it. Don’t be fooled! You will encounter offense, and it’s up to you how it will affect your relationship with God. Your response will determine your future. If offense is handled correctly, you will become stronger rather than bitter. John Bevere shows you how to stay free from offense and escape the victim mentality.

Historia
Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Profanity overwhelms the plot
Revisado: 04-11-18
it's a nice political their, but the profanity within the story overwhelms and distracts from the overall story.

Historia
Everything he learned to protect the president, he must use to take out theirs. With an American president distracted by growing tensions in North Korea and Iran, an ominous new threat is emerging in Moscow. A czar is rising in the Kremlin, a Russian president feverishly consolidating power, silencing his opposition, and plotting a brazen and lightning-fast military strike that could rupture the NATO alliance and bring Washington and Moscow to the brink of nuclear war. But in his blind spot is the former U.S. Secret Service agent, Marcus Ryker.

Historia
The Horologicon (or book of hours) contains the most extraordinary words in the English language, arranged according to what hour of the day you might need them. From Mark Forsyth, the author of the number-one international best seller The Etymologicon comes an audiobook of weird words for familiar situations. From ante-jentacular to snudge by way of quafftide and wamblecropt, at last you can say, with utter accuracy, exactly what you mean.

Revisado: 01-11-18
Mark's command of the English language is tremendous. I enjoy the jaunt through the day using these words that I wish I knew. I am finding I need to read this book of second maybe third time just so I can begin to remember the wonderful gold nuggets that are found in this Treasure of a book.

time travel extravaganza
Revisado: 09-28-17
A nice linear Jaunt through a time travelers life. at times it feels like a mini doctor who, but it had a definite end as opposed to an ongoing story. there are many points of time travel theory that could have been explored further and sometimes leave the reader wondering what happened. overall, a nice find.

Historia
The Etymologicon is a completely unauthorized guide to the strange underpinnings of the English language. It explains: How you get from “gruntled” to “disgruntled”; why you are absolutely right to believe that your meager salary barely covers “money for salt”; how the biggest chain of coffee shops in the world (hint: Seattle) connects to whaling in Nantucket; and what precisely the Rolling Stones have to do with gardening.

Nostalgia Updated and Improved
Revisado: 05-03-17
Timothy Zahn's original "heir to the empire" was a fantastic read, and he did an amazing job of updating the same character, fitting it smoothly into the new cannon, and making the level of storytelling even better. Not a retreading and not an all new take; just an another amazing tale of a classic legends character told from "a certain point of view."
