In Lady Justice, Dahlia Lithwick, one of the nation’s foremost legal commentators, illuminates these many heroes of the Trump years. From Sally Yates and Becca Heller, who fought the Muslim travel ban, to Roberta Kaplan, who sued the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, to Stacey Abrams, who worked to protect the voting rights of millions of Georgians, Lithwick dramatizes in thrilling detail the women lawyers who worked tirelessly to hold the line against the most chaotic presidency in living memory.

Half a century after the Doomsday Battle, the uneasy balance of Dark Forest Deterrence keeps the Trisolaran invaders at bay. Earth enjoys unprecedented prosperity due to the infusion of Trisolaran knowledge. With human science advancing daily and the Trisolarans adopting Earth culture, it seems that the two civilizations will soon be able to coexist peacefully as equals, without the terrible threat of mutually assured annihilation. But the peace has also made humanity complacent.

Too much time on the little things.
Revisado: 06-08-22
The author does a good job of creating a unique and interesting world. however, he spends too much time on little things that don't really add to the story. Diversions that are pages on pages. Moreover, he sets up large clashes that seem to end in a whimper, which left me very unsatisfied. Also, whether intended, the story is highly misogynistic. The main female protagonist is basically helpless and everything happens to her versus her taking much action to influence outcomes. The only actions she does take generally result in catastrophe. There are multiple male saviors that come to her aid or show her the "right" path, which further bolsters the misogynistic quality of the book.

This near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking listeners to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from Cixin Liu, China's most beloved science fiction author. In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion - in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy.

The translation and narrator are not good.
Revisado: 05-08-22
The translation used for this text is not particularly good. The issue is that while translating the words, the meanings are often lost. it's the difference between somebody yelling s*** and a heated situation and yelling excrement! One helps to convey emotion, the other is simply a similar term that defines the same thing.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 25
Krys Malcolm Belc has thought a lot about the interplay between parenthood and gender. As a nonbinary, transmasculine parent, giving birth to his son Samson clarified his gender identity. And yet, when his partner Anna adopted Samson, the legal documents listed Belc as "the natural mother of the child." The Natural Mother of the Child journeys both toward and through common perceptions of what it means to have a body and how that body can influence the perception of a family.

In 2017, a routine network television investigation led to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.

Great reporting; however....

overall, I felt the reporting was very good and the story compelling; however, I felt the voices done by Ronan Farrell where a bit distracting while listening.

Meh, half-hazard
Revisado: 07-31-15
Amy states multiple time how hard writing a book is and how much she disliked the experience and it shows. The book doesn't amount to much more than some random stories and a smattering of mildly amusing cameos (in the form of guest readers).

Lyra is rushing to the cold, far North, where witch clans and armored bears rule. North, where the Gobblers take the children they steal—including her friend Roger. North, where her fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world. Can one small girl make a difference in such great and terrible endeavors? This is Lyra: a savage, a schemer, a liar, and as fierce and true a champion as Roger or Asriel could want. But what Lyra doesn't know is that to help one of them will be to betray the other.
