Violence is the theme here!

Revisado: 11-18-23

This story is really primarily about chopping up people with swords and axes in the name of one or another despicable ruler.

Pointless

Revisado: 08-10-23

This book is a pointless selection of WWi writings which rambles about never getting anywhere. It is but the authors opinion of a selection of random writings which express musings and opinions of the war composed by literary nobodys. I kept wondering why this or that bit was chosen and of what value or interest I was presumed to have.

Interesting good but not the greatest book ever.

Good but not the best ever book written. An interesting discourse on power at the very end of the book.

Good listen and so relevant to our current today

Very well done and the narrator is A+.

This book clearly relates the path that slowly led to the great depression. I fear that the last 100 years have erased our memories to the point that we are again going down this same perilous path.going

Dawg!

Entertaining but more incredible than credible!

Revisado: 06-22-19

The author provides food for thought. However, my impression after listening for many hours is thus. This author makes a living by sensationalizing possible historic events. Initially his proposition is an intriguing hypothesis. The America's were inhabited by humans as far back as 110,000 years ago. However, to make his point he argues only in support of his hypothesis. In doing so he cherry picks his facts and amplifies possibilities into probabilities and probabilities into must have happened that way.
In the end I would say that his book was interesting but, having now heard him out, I do not place much faith in his theory that man or some hominid like creatures inhabited the Americas 110.000 years ago. Yeah, its possible because that would have been a hiatus in an earlier period of glaciation but there is simply no evidence to indicate that hominids had even left Africa at that time.

And as far as his claims and continual banging on the idea that the ancients possessed some high form of geometry 15,000 years back is ludicrous. Any fool could quickly figure out how to use two objects one fixed and one movable to determine the absolute annual extremes of the sun, moon or celestial movement. And even hunters would understand that they derived a benefit from knowing the approaching seasons which would allow them to anticipate animal and fish migrations. Given that man's brain size has been pretty much what it is now for 150,000 years, there is no reason to believe that we lacked the ability to reason even when we were stone age hunters. It is after all man's high ability to solve problems that sets us apart from the other animals. There is no reason to marvel at the likelihood that mankind might decide to provide some permanent method to determine the summer and winter solstices. Certainly learning how to use fire was a far more impressive feat of technology than would be marking the rising and setting of the sun.

What a life.

Bart Simpson does history.

Revisado: 05-11-19

A very liberal take on history narrated in a Bart Simpson esky voice! Would only recommend to Prius owners!
