Historia
Around one a.m. on an early spring morning, two teenage gangs are arrested after clashing violently in one of Venice’s squares. Commissario Claudia Griffoni, on duty that night, perhaps ill-advisedly walks the last of the boys home because his father, Dario Monforte, failed to pick him up at the Questura. Coincidentally, Guido Brunetti is asked by a wealthy friend of Vice-Questore Patta to vet Monforte for a job, triggering Brunetti’s memory that twenty years earlier Monforte had been publicly celebrated as the hero of a devastating bombing of the Italian military compound in Iraq.

As always, wonderful character development
Revisado: 07-28-24
As I said above, the character development was wonderful. However, there is no mystery here. It was evident very early what the theme would be, and there was no intricacy related to a mystery. I found this extremely disappointing. The book is worthwhile read because the characters are so compelling, but I do miss the mystery

Historia
Guido Brunetti faces a heinous crime committed outside his jurisdiction. He is drawn in innocently enough: two young American women have been badly injured in a boating accident, joyriding in the Laguna with two young Italians. However, Brunetti's curiosity is aroused by the behavior of the young men, who abandoned the victims after taking them to the hospital. If the injuries were the result of an accident, why did they want to avoid association with it?

Character development was incredible!
Revisado: 06-10-24
I totally enjoyed the plot and the character development. The story weaved in and out of sub Plots involving the other characters period. This book really built attention as it took an original accident and developed a very good crime story with great detective work. An excellent read, and I greatly recommend it.

Historia
Not since the atomic bomb has a technology so alarmed its inventors that they warned the world about its use. Not, that is, until the spring of 2015, when biologist Jennifer Doudna called for a worldwide moratorium on the use of the new gene-editing tool CRISPR - a revolutionary new technology that she helped create - to make heritable changes in human embryos.

A philosophical journey, rather than a journey that details, the tool set of this fantastic innovation
Revisado: 03-01-24
I won’t say that I’m disappointed with the book, but I found it to be more of a users guide and a philosophical discussion then one that really led me to understand the development of this tremendous clinical tool. That’s probably because I was looking more for a nuts and bolts descriptionof what this fantastic innovation is rather than the philosophical aspect. To be fair that discussion, especially at the end of the book was exceptional.

Historia
As an aging, tenacious Elizabeth I clung to power, a talented playwright probed the social causes, the psychological roots, and the twisted consequences of tyranny. In exploring the psyche (and psychoses) of the likes of Richard III, Macbeth, Lear, Coriolanus, and the societies they rule over, Stephen Greenblatt illuminates the ways in which William Shakespeare delved into the lust for absolute power and the catastrophic consequences of its execution.

This book should be required reading in history classes and especially any history of science class. The author took a complex topic and made me feel I was working in the laboratory of a team of researchers.

At times I wanted to exit this excellent book. The reader gave such a hard sell without modulation of voice . I actually experienced a headache! But the machine gun presentation is worth the stress! The book is a wonderful informative read!

Historia
To mark the 75th anniversary of D-day, the stirring climax to Nigel Hamilton's three-part saga of FDR at war - proof that he was WWII's key strategist, even on his deathbed. Nigel Hamilton's celebrated trilogy culminates with a story of triumph and tragedy. Just as FDR was proven right by the D-day landings he had championed, so was he found to be mortally ill in the spring of 1944. He was the architect of a victorious peace that he would not live to witness.
