Nora touched us all in so many different and surprising ways. Even in the little discoveries contained in this biography, Nora makes you think beyond yourself. Nicely written, skillfully narrated. Now I want to watch some of her and her colleagues' creations again with a deeper understanding. Enjoyed this a lot.

Historia
Now a middle-aged dad, Ali has become one of the foremost and funniest public intellectuals in America. In Go Back to Where You Came From, he tackles the dangers of Islamophobia, white supremacy, and chocolate hummus, peppering personal stories with astute insights into national security, immigration, and pop culture. In this refreshingly bold, hopeful, and uproarious memoir, Ali offers indispensable lessons for cultivating a more compassionate, inclusive, and delicious America.

Humorous and inspiring too. I recommend this book for its honest look inward, at ourselves, outward, at those we share this stage with, friends, loved ones and strangers alike; and forward, with hope for the future.

Historia
The hardscrabble folks of Troublesome Creek have to scrap for everything - everything except books, that is. Thanks to Roosevelt's Kentucky Pack Horse Library Project, Troublesome's got its very own traveling librarian, Cussy Mary Carter. Cussy's not only a book woman, however, she's also the last of her kind, her skin a shade of blue unlike most anyone else. Not everyone is keen on Cussy's family or the Library Project, and a Blue is often blamed for any whiff of trouble.

Historia
Blending history and cutting-edge economic analysis, and writing in lively and jargon-free prose, Saez and Zucman dissect the deliberate choices (and sins of indecision) that have brought us to today: the gradual exemption of capital owners; the surge of a new tax avoidance industry; and the spiral of tax competition among nations. With clarity and concision, they explain how America turned away from the most progressive tax system in history to embrace policies that only serve to compound the wealth of a few.

Revisado: 09-12-20
Clearly laid out. Well researched and cited. An important and recommended read. Some may prefer a physical book to highlight or copy/paste some excellent observations, I would agree. I prefer Audible and it's bookmark feature. The content and narration provide easy listening. I replayed parts frequently and appreciated the clarity of content, actual (admittedly difficult) solutions suggested, as well as the unapologetic admission of how unjust the current system is. Agreeing with other reviewers, I think it needs a follow-up companion book focused on the outflow side. Like spending the proceeds of the taxed income efficiently and equitably to promote economic stability and growth. There is a better way. It can and must be done. The current wealth gap and state of economic inequality are unjust. It is the growing tragedy of our times.

Enjoyed the book immensely. Hated to finish!
Revisado: 08-30-20
Loved the telling, the historical references, the cooking details, and the humor. Narration was very good except for a few mispronunciations of foreign words, but I prefer to hear the author's voice reading the words. I've already listened to (and loved) "Dirt", and still, I'm looking forward to more from Bill Buford.

Historia
On Christmas Eve, 2017, Tess Henry was found dead in a dumpster in Las Vegas. Tess was a 28-year-old new mother, a former honor roll student, and a high school basketball player from suburban Roanoke, Virginia, a place ravaged by the national opioid crisis. The New York Times best-selling author Beth Macy chronicled Tess and her mom, Patricia, through Tess' harrowing, years-long battle to recover from heroin addiction in her award-winning book Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company That Addicted America.

Historia
In Life's Work, an outspoken Christian reproductive justice advocate and abortion provider (one of the few doctors to provide such services to women in Mississippi and Alabama) pulls from his personal and professional journeys as well as the scientific training he received as a doctor to reveal how he came to believe, unequivocally, that helping women in need, without judgment, is precisely the Christian thing to do.

Historia
The Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fable that range from antebellum New York to the late 20th-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. An air force loadmaster in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan. An artist inherits 100 years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut. A hard-partying undergraduate in the late 1980s electrocutes herself, dies, and is sent back into life by creatures of air and light.

Read the entire book but came away unsatisfied. I appreciate the good writing and the environmental tones regarding the unappreciated importance of trees to our earth and our livelihood. But in my opinion, the book did not deliver a story to love.

Historia
In this groundbreaking history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein explodes the myth that America's cities came to be racially divided through de facto segregation - that is, through individual prejudices, income differences, or the actions of private institutions like banks and real estate agencies. Rather, he incontrovertibly makes clear that it was de jure segregation - the laws and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal governments - that actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day.
