Adventure Story
Revisado: 03-23-20
Excellent adventure story but narrator sounded like she would be better suited to a somber, macabre memoir, not one full of danger and excitement.

West with the Night is the story of a remarkable woman molded and shaped by many things: the African jungle, a certain dog, horses, airplanes, friendships with white men and black. There is no life, no story quite like it.

One of the best books ever written
Revisado: 06-16-18
This has to be one of the best books ever written. I am still reeling from it… If only we all lived lives of such adventure. And to think her story was nearly forgotten! The reader did an exceptional job capturing what I imagine to be Ms. Markham’s voice and thought. Everyone should hear this book.

Best book on audible
Revisado: 05-30-18
I’ve listened to a number of books from audible and various recording companies this has to be one of the best performed and most well written books I’ve ever heard! I loved her snappy style and ability to distill 30 centuries worth of history into a comprehensible book. You will not be disappointed!

Historia
Nearly a half century into being a feminist and legal pioneer, something funny happened to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The octogenarian won the Internet. Across America, people who weren't even born when Ginsburg made her name are tattooing themselves with her face, setting her famously searing dissents to music, and making viral videos in tribute.

The Queen
Revisado: 07-04-16
I really enjoyed this account, I wasn't looking for a tell all, just a glimpse into the monarchy that we do not usually get in the United States. The Queen is even more impressive than I could have imagined.

Historia
In this stirring audiobook, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence, when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.

Historia
Geology is often thought of as simply the study of rocks. In reality, geology is the study of our planet on all scales, from microscopic to planet-wide, and ranging in time from almost instantaneous events, like earthquakes, to the glacially slow motion of the tectonic plates. Everything we know about our world from a geologic perspective is based on information locked into the rock record and the job of a geologist is to tease out that story through a wide variety of observations. This insightful course explores a range of topics that help to tell the story of Earth and to explain the discipline of Geology and the role of the geologist.

I'm brushing up on subjects for a comprehensive exam and this lecture served as a great refresher course. Explaining geological concepts can be tough but Dr. Ziegler did a great job!!

Historia
Creativity, Inc. is a manual for anyone who strives for originality and the first-ever all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation - into the meetings, postmortems, and “Braintrust” sessions where some of the most successful films in history are made. It is, at heart, a book about creativity - but it is also, as Pixar cofounder and president Ed Catmull writes, “an expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible”.

Great ideas

I really enjoyed listening to this book and learned a tremendous amount. I'm in engineering and can easily apply many of Ed Catmull's practices to my own work. This book certainly leads one to change entrenched practices!

Joins us for a cup of tea, won't you? Katharine Hepburn beckons us into her Connecticut home for a cozy chat and an intimate look at the legend, and the woman behind the legend. Based on the critically acclaimed New York production, the independent, intelligent, feisty Hepburn comes alive once again when Kate Mulgrew, of Star Trek: Voyager fame, slips deftly into the voice and being of the famous actress.

Great for young and seasoned professionals
Revisado: 06-12-15
I have been a professional for 15 years and would have benefitted greatly from this early on in my career. Every gaffe mentioned I know I've made at one point or another and learned the hard way. I enjoyed it as a seasoned professional because I wanted to make sure I was perfectly polished.... Great for dotting the i's and crossing the t's!!
