Famed investigative journalist Eric Schlosser digs deep to uncover secrets about the management of America's nuclear arsenal. A groundbreaking account of accidents, near misses, extraordinary heroism, and technological breakthroughs, Command and Control explores the dilemma that has existed since the dawn of the nuclear age: How do you deploy weapons of mass destruction without being destroyed by them? That question has never been resolved - and Schlosser reveals how the combination of human fallibility and technological complexity still poses a grave risk to mankind.

Eye popping true events.. .
Revisado: 02-13-25
The most eye opening book I've read since George Orwell's 1984. While it's not in the same genre it is equally shocking.

educational entertainment at it's finest
Revisado: 09-20-22
Peter Hessler did a phonominal job of combining a great story with facts. Country Driving is a narrative of Hessler's life in the country side of rural China, describing his adventures, and he introduces the people he met while there. His descriptive build on those individual characters caused his readers to want to know more.
After reading (listening to) this book, you will find yourself much more aware of the Chinese traditions and cultural norms of the time the book was written. Without even realizing it, you will have learned so much and been entered while gaining that valuable education.

lies - not by Dale Carnegie
Revisado: 09-08-22
Purchased because of the falsely advertised "by Dale Carnegie" upon listening to the book I found out that is is actually someone else who wrote a short pamphlet based off of a famous authors's book.
This isn't even a book. It's not even a full hour long, it's a pamphlet at best. Don't waste your credit or money.. it's total garbage.
You'll be sorely disappointed that the famous author we know and love had nothing to do with the writing of this pamphlet. I've written essays that were better cited and longer than this trash.
In fact, my review is longer than this so called "book". Keep your credit/$ and buy a real book.

When Jean Tirole won the 2014 Nobel Prize in Economics, he suddenly found himself being stopped in the street by complete strangers and asked to comment on issues of the day, no matter how distant from his own areas of research. His transformation from academic economist to public intellectual prompted him to reflect further on the role economists and their discipline play in society. The result is Economics for the Common Good, a passionate manifesto for a world in which economics, far from being a "dismal science," is a positive force for the common good.

Encourages lack of responsibility for actions
Revisado: 02-05-22
This book encouraged lack of responsibility for actions and focused on a socialist/communist approach to economics. It is difficult to listen to while driving due to the content. if someone really wanted to learn about economics, try anything else. this book promotes laziness and lack of accountability of actions. it's read in a monotone voice so could easily put someone to sleep.

The Party is Financial Times reporter Richard McGregor's eye-opening investigation into China's Communist Party, and the integral role it has played in the country's rise as a global superpower and rival to the United States. Many books have examined China's economic rise, human rights record, turbulent history, and relations with the US; none until now, however, have tackled the issue central to understanding all of these issues: how the ruling communist government works. The Party delves deeply into China's secretive political machine.
