Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 27
Since we first set sail on the open sea, ships and their wrecks have been an inevitable part of human history. Archaeologists have made spectacular discoveries excavating these sunken ships, their protective underwater cocoon keeping evidence of past civilizations preserved. World renowned maritime archeologist David Gibbins ties together the stories of some of the most significant shipwrecks in time to form a single overarching narrative of world history.

Good content, disappointing narration
Revisado: 09-05-24
The narration sounds like AI generation. Did anyone supervise, direct, or even listen to it before publication?

Alexandra Hudson, daughter of the "Manners Lady," was raised to respect others. But as she grew up, Hudson discovered a difference between politeness―a superficial appearance of good manners―and true civility. In this timely book, Hudson sheds light on how civility can help bridge our political divide.

Upspeak detracts from content
Revisado: 03-16-24
Solid overview of pervasive value and significance of manners, decorum, and civility. Excellent perspective and text. I found persistent upspeak in the author’s narration distracting and annoying. But then I’m old….

Twilight of the Gods is a riveting account of the harrowing last year of World War II in the Pacific, when the US Navy won the largest naval battle in history; MacArthur made good his pledge to return to the Philippines; waves of kamikazes attacked the Allied fleets; the Japanese fought to the last man on one island after another; B-29 bombers burned down Japanese cities; and Hiroshima and Nagasaki were vaporized. Toll's narratives of combat in the air, at sea, and on the beaches are gripping, but he also takes the listener into the halls of power in Washington and Tokyo.

Engaging, thoughtful, insightful
Revisado: 09-24-23
Toll’s balance of detail, personal stories, and perspectives—including the Japanese—makes this highly accessible and compelling—and invites the reader to consider the larger meaning of the specific narrative. An Iliad for our time.
