Historia
After the War of Independence, the new American government created the Supreme Court to be the final word on disputes that the states couldn’t settle. But at first, the Court was anything but Supreme. For nearly a decade, Congress and the President held the real power. In practice the Supreme Court was weak, ineffectual and disorganized – a post so unappealing that many men turned down nominations to serve on its bench. All that would change with the appointment of Chief Justice John Marshall and the arrival of a case called Marbury v.

Good production but absolutely nothing uplifting
Factual but where is the good stuff
Where is the benefit of being an American?
Where are the wins for justice?

Skipped to the end I couldn’t handle the slowness
Very disturbing
Long book to get to the end which is disturbing and we had to suffer to get to it. The suffering was so bad we lost patience

Historia
P.G. Wodehouse documented the lives of the inimitable Jeeves and Wooster for nearly sixty years, from their first appearance in 1915 ("Extricating Young Gussie") to his final completed novel (Aunts Aren't Gentlemen) in 1974. These two were the finest creations of a novelist widely proclaimed to be the finest comic English writer by critics and fans alike. Now, forty years later, Bertie and Jeeves return in a hilarious affair of mix-ups and mishaps.

This should have been Wodehouse's last book!!!
Revisado: 04-15-14
What made the experience of listening to Jeeves and the Wedding Bells the most enjoyable?
I am a P.G. Wodehouse fan either reading and or listening to every Bertie and Jeeves book. I have read many of his older works as well. Some many times. But I must admit that I had a lack of fulfillment in that Bertie's good qualities were never recognized and he never moved on in life. I can't say much more not to spoil the book. I had reflected in the past what Wodehouse should have done in his last book and this is it. The author is a genius in that he understands so well Wodehouse's farcical method and he incorporated many of the old bits of P.G. I found it even funnier hearing them again from someone else. The ending was moving and again one that was needed. The family of P.G Wodehouse approved of the book and I look forward to listening to it again. It is best heard with headphones. The reader is a little hard to understand at first but I picked up his tune quickly.

Historia
How is it possible for the disciplines of cosmology, geology, anthropology, biology, and history to fit together? These 48 lectures answer that question by weaving a single story from accounts of the past developed by a variety of scholarly disciplines. The result is a story stretching from the origins of the universe to the present day and beyond, in which human history is seen as part of the history of our Earth and biosphere, and the Earth's history, in turn, is seen as part of the history of the universe.

Historia
All the zany Wodehouse characters are here: Bertie, Gussie Fink-Nottle, Madeline Bassett, and Aunt Dahlia. All the humorous chaos of misunderstandings, puns, and pranks are present: someone must hand out prizes at the Market Snodsbury Grammar School, a lovers' spat finds Bertie engaged to Madeline, and a hunger strike causes the cook to give notice. The inevitable rescue by Jeeves, brilliantly conceived and executed, averts disaster and saves nitwit Bertie Wooster.

The Classic Bertie and Jeeves
Revisado: 02-04-13
Would you consider the audio edition of Right Ho, Jeeves to be better than the print version?
Yes, the accented version of this small book gives the sense of listening to Bertie. I have read every Wodehouse book but listening to Johnathan Cecil, the reader, has the feel for the real Bertie and the real Jeeves.
Any additional comments?
If you are a Wodehouse fan, this is the classic of all time. Can we all move to this delightful world of major crisis when on reflection, there is no crisis. All gregarious much to do about nothing. Wodehouse admits that he has only one book and he changes it around a bit. It works for me.

If it could only be this easy
Revisado: 01-31-13
Would you listen to The Willpower Instinct again? Why?
I have bought the book and listened to the audible book. I am an endocrinologist and found many of the ideas and facts from this book relevant to those who have diabetes and obesity. I use some of her ideas in my speech on obesity and diabetes. Unfortunately the ideas are quickly forgotten. Losing weight by force of will generally works just a short time. However the book is relevant and helpful. The main thing that I realized from the book is how to help those who are over-stressed.
What did you like best about this story?
There were areas of introspection for myself that are humorous. Yes when I am doing well with my willpower that is when I fall down. Moral licencing.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
There is a lot to encode thus a few sessions are better.
Any additional comments?
It was worth it.

Historia
Fate draws Bertie back to Totleigh Towers, home of the horrifyingly drippy Madeline Bassett and the simply horrifying Watkyn "Pop" Bassett. Bertie is worried, as the only obstacle to a trip down the aisle for him and Madeline is the fact that his friend Gussie and Madeline are in love with each other.

Are you a Wodehousian?
Revisado: 11-13-12
Would you consider the audio edition of Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves to be better than the print version?
Yes, the British accent and the range of voices are quite remarkable. This reader who is my favorite Bertie and Jeeves voice adds to the whole mind picture.
What other book might you compare Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves to and why?
Only other Wodehouse books. Actually Wodehouse has just a few stories told in minor different ways and he has written over 90 books. It is a pleasure to see how he does each one.
Any additional comments?
Either you like farcical British humor that is light, intelligent and pleasant or you don't. I have read the vast majority of Wodehouse's books and in every sentence there is genius. Jonathan Cecil brings the story to life.

Historia
At the dawn of the 20th century, humanity was facing global disaster. Mass starvation, long predicted for the fast-growing population, was about to become a reality. A call went out to the worlds scientists to find a solution. This is the story of the two enormously gifted, fatally flawed men who found it: the brilliant, self-important Fritz Haber and the reclusive, alcoholic Carl Bosch. Together they discovered a way to make bread out of air, built city-sized factories, controlled world markets, and saved millions of lives.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. This very interesting history portrays the heartbreak of a genius who did everything humanly possible to be accepted but to no avail.
Who was your favorite character and why?
This story is about Fritz Haber, a nobel prize winner and also some think a war criminal.
What about Adam Verner???s performance did you like?
He did not envolve himself in the story, it went smoothly and the reader just did his job and that is to read.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The man who has saved the lives of 4 billion people
Any additional comments?
This critical biography is a must for any who have a good interest in history.

Historia
In Empires of Trust, Professor Thomas F. Madden explores surprising parallels between the Roman and American republics. By making friends of enemies and demonstrating a commitment to fairness, the two republics - both "reluctant" yet unquestioned super-powers - built empires based on trust. Madden also includes vital lessons from the Roman Republic's 100-year struggle with "terrorism."

Revisado: 05-29-09
I see some who are anti this book. Pay no attention. The wealth of history, the correlation of Rome and the Americans is obvious to those who are able to see the world as it is and not the way you want it to be. If you are a person who lives their life by the way you want it to be but not by how it is, you will not like this book. Hard truths are told. I agree with them and I can take it.
