Historia
Whether in political debates or discussions about immigration around the kitchen table, many Americans, regardless of party affiliation, will say proudly that we are a nation of immigrants. In this bold new book, historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz asserts this ideology is harmful and dishonest because it serves to mask and diminish the US’s history of settler colonialism, genocide, white supremacy, slavery, and structural inequality, all of which we still grapple with today.

Historia
Disinformation is designed to evoke a strong emotional response to push us toward more extreme views, unable to find common ground with others. The false claims that led to the breathtaking attack on our Capitol in 2020 may have been only a dress rehearsal. Attack from Within shows us how to prevent it from happening again, thus preserving our country's hard-won democracy.

Historia
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

The only thing that would make it better is if it were biography rather than fiction. Good boy, Six Thirty.

Historia
The mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, represented an extreme form of the central danger facing American democracy today: a blatant disregard for the will of the majority. Through voter suppression, election subversion, gerrymandering, dark money, the takeover of the courts, and the whitewashing of history, reactionary white conservatives have strategically entrenched power in the face of a massive demographic and political shift.

Historia
The relatively new judicial philosophy of textualism dominates the Supreme Court. Textualists claim that the right way to interpret the Constitution and statutes is to read the text carefully and examine the language as it was understood at the time the documents were written. This, however, is not Justice Breyer’s philosophy nor has it been the traditional way to interpret the Constitution since the time of Chief Justice John Marshall. Justice Breyer recalls Marshall’s exhortation that the Constitution must be a workable set of principles to be interpreted by subsequent generations.

An eloquent argument

Justice Breyer develops an eloquent argument in support of a pragmatic approach to justice and against textualism. This is an excellent treatise on the subject.

Historia
When E. Jean Carroll—possibly the liveliest woman in the world and author of the “Ask E. Jean” advice column in Elle Magazine, realized that her eight million readers and question-writers all seemed to have one thing in common—problems caused by men—she hit the road. Crisscrossing the country with her blue-haired poodle, Lewis Carroll, E. Jean stopped in every town named after a woman between Eden, Vermont and Tallulah, Louisiana to ask women the crucial question: What Do We Need Men For?

A tour de force
Revisado: 02-09-24
Fortunately I live at the end of a dead end road with the nearest neighbor about a half mile away. So as I walked the countryside listening to Why Do We Need Men, I did not have to concern myself with passersby looking at me askance because as I walked and listened to Why Do We Need Men, I laughed aloud, I guffawed, I chortled, and occasionally wiped a tear from my eye. I am sure the printed book is outstanding, but in the audio book, Ms. E. Jean puts on a performance for the ages. I am a man and, consequently, part of the butt of this book, but I don’t mind, I was able to take what criticism I deserved and listen on. So ladies and gents treat yourselves to an interesting experience and take a listen to Why Do We Need Men.

Authentic and Noble account
Revisado: 01-06-24
Harry Dunn is an authentic American voice whose position on J6 made him a witness to one of the worst days in this nation’s history. Mr. Dunn is not a pundit, a journalist, an academic, or a celebrity. He speaks with the voice of the common man. He skillfully places the insurrection of J6 into a cultural and historical context. He also gives eloquent voice to the anger that many Americans feel about what happened on that sad day.

Authentic and authoritative
Revisado: 12-21-23
Ms. Hutchinson’s memoir is an authentic and authoritative account of her experience and an important part of our recent history. Clearly organized and presented, Ms. Hutchinson’s voice is strong and her story compelling. If the republican party had not sold itself to entitled celebrities, grifters, liars, racists, and celebrity want-to-bes, it would be putting people like Ms. Hutchinson into positions of responsibility. However, honest, patriotic conservatives can no longer consider the republican party a home, and I hope that Ms. Hutchinson and other conservatives like her can find or make a new one. Because of the author’s age, “Enough” would be an excellent source to be used in high school social study classes.

great story, pitiful narrator
Revisado: 02-19-12
What made the experience of listening to The Curse of Chalion the most enjoyable?
I had to stop listening to Lloyd James's performance one quarter of the way through, but the story was so good I bought the book to read it myself. He pauses where there is no reason, then starts up again to finish the sentence. Half of his characters have strange stutters and stammers and throat clearing. He seems to have no idea what he's reading, he just likes hearing himself.
Would you be willing to try another one of Lloyd James???s performances?
I will never try another performance by him.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I had to force myself to listen to him because the story is terrific. I had to stop listening because his performance was distracting me from the story.
