For some reason, when it comes to complex issues, we’ve largely limited ourselves to just two options, resulting in a society of non-thinkers. After all, once you’ve picked a side, all the thinking has already been done for you. As an independent, libertarian voter who has spent the last ten years at Fox News, Kat has faced this issue too many times to count. She’s learned that surprising things can happen when you refuse to choose a team, especially when you work at a place some people call an existential threat to America.

Her personal stories about dating really helped me realize I’m not alone, and she was well descriptive and funny.

From Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States to the New York Times' 1619 project, the modern Left views American history through the lens of competing oppressions, replacing the traditional understanding that all Americans are part of a shared journey toward the perfection of universal ideals. Their attacks on the values that built our nation, from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities, are insidious because they replace each of them with nothing beyond an increased reliance on the government.

It was so truthful and uplifting. Shapiro is amazingly brilliant. This was a side I haven’t heard very often from him.

COVID-19 was deadly, but the real killer was the coverup, led by America’s most durable medical bureaucrat—a man for whom the truth was too often expendable. Senator Paul makes a powerful case that funding dangerous bioengineering in a totalitarian country is madness.

Dr. William Wright gave up a suburban practice as an ear surgeon to become the doctor at Colorado's maximum-security prison. After that, running a medical clinic at the county jail should be a snap, right? Oh, brother. Hoards of desperate people fresh from the streets, homeless addicts, illegal aliens, and gangbangers all ruled by a corrupt sheriff and his concubine sidekick made the supermax look almost pastoral.

For two thousand years, cadavers have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. They've tested France's first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800. For every new surgical procedure, from heart transplants to gender reassignment surgery, cadavers have been there alongside surgeons, making history in their quiet way.

- De: Mary Roach

Mary Roach did her homework!
Revisado: 02-02-16
Where does Stiff rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of my top!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Stiff?
So many I laughed my head off ( which I will donate to medical science)
Which scene was your favorite?
Once again they where too numerous.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The portion of the book in which she discusses the persons final wishes and how this may affect survivors, definitely something to consider.

In an attempt to find out, Mary Roach brings her tireless curiosity to bear on an array of contemporary and historical soul-searchers: scientists, schemers, engineers, mediums, all trying to prove (or disprove) that life goes on after we die. She begins the journey in rural India with a reincarnation researcher and ends up in a University of Virginia operating room where cardiologists have installed equipment near the ceiling to study out-of-body near-death experiences.

Sound quality was not very good.

I'm afraid this was not as good as stiff, but still quite informative.
I believe the subject matter wasn't as interesting as one might think.

Mary Roach is excellent

The narrator who performed on stiff was excellent.

In The Knife Man, Wendy Moore unveils John Hunter's murky and macabre world - a world characterized by public hangings, secret expeditions to dank churchyards, and gruesome human dissections in pungent attic rooms. This is a fascinating portrait of a remarkable pioneer and his determined struggle to haul surgery out of the realms of meaningless superstitious ritual and into the dawn of modern medicine.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes I would and two for Christmas this year.
John Hunter lead a fascinating life, and the author did a wonderful job to capture the details for an extremely fun read.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Knife Man?
There are so many! Most likely is the likelihood that Dr Hunter may have infected himself with syphilis for the purpose of research.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes!

The most fatal virus known to science, rabies kills nearly 100 percent of its victims once the infection takes root in the brain. From Greek myths to zombie flicks, from the laboratory heroics of Louis Pasteur to the contemporary search for a lifesaving treatment, Rabid is a fresh, fascinating, and often wildly entertaining look at one of mankind’s oldest and most fearsome foes.

So much information!
Revisado: 12-02-15
If you could sum up Rabid in three words, what would they be?
Informative
Interesting
Educational
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
It left with a good respect for disease we often don't appreciate in this country.
Have you listened to any of Johnny Heller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, I haven't but he's a good narrator.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes and I almost did.
Any additional comments?
Toward the middle of the book I thought "oh my gosh! How many things can they tie into this" Books, movies, fairy tales etc. however in the end I was able to understand that indeed, this is and was a very scary thing for people and given its longevity in history would account for a great deal of legend.
