Historia
Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.

What my history classes should have been.
Revisado: 01-01-22
I found this book scratched an itch I have had most of my life in understanding the human race. Particularly as it pertains to pre-history and evolution. But the book doesn't stop there. It really helps me understand the role of religion and politics in modern society as well.
Absolutely fascinating stuff.

It's the ultimate road trip. Legendary investor Jim Rogers and his fiancee travel to 116 countries in a custom-built, four-wheel-drive, bright yellow Mercedes.

A bit dated but fine.
Audible shouldn't require me to write 15 words. Short reviews are often best.

Revisado: 11-25-20
How do you become indistractable? Don't get distracted. The author provided no tools, tips or even insight on how to NOT be distracted. Extremely dissapointing. This is a book on time management for those who have already conquered distraction. No help for me.

nothing special. lots of promises about how to make a YouTube channel that you need to sign up for their classes to realize. why am I paying for an audiobook that is a commercial for the author's courses. greedy bastards weren't satisfied with my audiobook purchase they now want me to signup for their classes.

Dry, boring and basic
Revisado: 06-17-19
If you've just started looking into this subject, this book may be a good place to begin. If you've done some basic research then this book is a waste if time. Covers the obvious and provide s very little insight into the topic.

The Pixar Touch is a lively chronicle of Pixar Animation Studios' history and evolution, and the "fraternity of geeks" who shaped it. With the help of visionary businessman Steve Jobs and animating genius John Lasseter, Pixar has become the gold standard of animated filmmaking, beginning with a short special effects shot made at Lucasfilm in 1982 all the way up through the landmark films Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Wall-E, and others.

Awesome story for a 3d geek like me.
Revisado: 11-29-12
What did you love best about The Pixar Touch?
Being a 3d geek who did animation on my Amiga using lightwave, it was fascinating to learn the history of anti-aliasing and motion blur. The story also goes into the behind the scenes of the Pixar block busters. Great listen and I couldn't put it down.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the history of 3d animation and the pixar movies.
What does David Drummond bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Sounded natural and unforced,
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Some of the background behind the Disney and Pixar relationship was fascintating.
