A remarkable story of some extraordinary men. That there are Gazans is almost irrelevant as their message is world embracing.

When, at age forty-six, Nancy Pelosi, mother of five, asked her youngest daughter if she should run for Congress, Alexandra Pelosi answered: “Mother, get a life!” And so Nancy did, and what a life it has been. In The Art of Power, Pelosi describes for the first time what it takes to make history—not only as the first woman to ascend to the most powerful legislative role in our nation, but to pass laws that would save lives and livelihoods, from the emergency rescue of the economy in 2008 to transforming health care.

Blows your Mind
Revisado: 08-26-24
While there are many things still blocked by USG security requirements this book does offer much new information and insights about the UAP/UFO Phenomenon. This includes many detailed examples of U.S. military interactions and evidence of non human intelligence origins. It was fascinating and I want to catch some of the reviews on You Tube.

Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google are the four most influential companies on the planet. Just about everyone thinks they know how they got there. Just about everyone is wrong. For all that's been written about the Four over the last two decades, no one has captured their power and staggering success as insightfully as Scott Galloway. Instead of buying the myths these companies broadcast, Galloway asks fundamental questions.

Galloway’s guffaws and searing analysis
Revisado: 08-17-24
I enjoy Prof G on his podcast with Kara Swisher and here he shows his early earnestness and shoot from the hip honesty as well as transparent vulnerability. It’s a worthy effort and not dated even though it is from seven years ago. Still very much valid in most cases.

Miracle and Wonder: Conversations with Paul Simon is part memoir, part investigation, and unlike any creative portrait you’ve ever heard before. Recorded over a series of 30 hours of conversation between Simon, Gladwell, and Gladwell’s oldest friend and co-writer, journalist and Broken Record podcast co-host Bruce Headlam, the conversation flows from Simon’s music, to his childhood in Queens, NY, to his frequent collaborators including Art Garfunkel and the nature of creativity itself.

Israeli storyteller Noa Baum grew up in Jerusalem in the shadow of the ancestral traumas of the holocaust and ongoing wars. Stories of the past and fear of annihilation in the wars of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s shaped her perceptions and identity. In America, she met a Palestinian woman who had grown up under Israeli occupation, and as they shared memories of war years in Jerusalem, an unlikely friendship blossomed. A Land Twice Promised delves into the heart of one of the world’s most enduring and complex conflicts.

I have met Noa at vigils and gatherings over the repeated atrocities in Gaza. Reading and listening to her stories here were deeply rewarding and personal for me. I acclaim this effort even more relevant now than eight years ago.

Some of the smartest commentary about what’s happening in America is coming from a comedian—this comedian being Bill Maher. If you want to understand what’s wrong with this country, it turns out that one of the best informed and most thought-provoking analysts is this very funny pothead.

Quick listen and great compilation and adaptation of his past editorials from Real Time. I enjoyed it and even when I wanted to disagree it was hard to do so.

George is a great story teller and the additions of this audio book with interwoven interviews and clips make it a very worthwhile acquisition. I enjoyed the anecdotes and it left me hankering for more.

The conditions that allowed humans to live on this earth are fragile, incredibly so. Climate variability has at times created new niches that humans or their ancestors could potentially exploit, and challenges that at times have spurred innovation. But there’s a relatively narrow envelope of climate variability within which human civilization remains viable. And our survival depends on conditions remaining within that range. In this book, renowned climate scientist Michael Mann will arm listeners with the knowledge necessary to appreciate the gravity of the unfolding climate crisis.

This is a well spoken and effective discussion of the climate change debate- useful for denialists and those who are activists. A very helpful contribution which enriches our understanding.
