She made a scholarly subject so comprehensible for lay-people.

Revisado: 08-21-24

It's like I never made my Parthenon visit decades ago. So scholarly and yet so articulate for the average reader.

Reptile rulers and endless repetition

Revisado: 07-20-24

The details on dug up relics and speculation was engaging. The decadence of Roman efforts to govern was detailed very well, although largely speculative.

Mitochondria update

Revisado: 10-23-23

This extensive update on mitochondria links me to my 1961 biology studies in college and to those 1965 physiology lectures in medical school. So much to learn back then before becoming a practicing M.D. Now finally in retirement I find the time to read Lane's exhaustive exploration of mitochondria. Lane's book makes up for a general neglect of this critical cell structure and its life giving function throughout the animal kingdom. Unfortunately no illustrations, so go to Wikipedia.

Sold out

Revisado: 03-12-23

Sold out in Tanglewood, Mass. His appearance closed out by COVID.
This and other audio venues must do till seeing J.T. live.
Amazing what mental pain can lead to and still keep the sky blue.

Truth will out...

Revisado: 02-27-23

Very objective accounting, indicating there is vast amount of hyped-history regarding this land mark. For sure is vast amount of the Colosseum was buried or recycled elsewhere. Otherwise the Colosseum is a standing Rorschach test for any one wanting to write about its alleged history.

At last, inflation and deflation mysteries unlocked

Revisado: 02-18-23

This subject is not a science and Fed's Powell magic potion is just one of hundreds. You can hike rates till the cow's come home but don't expect overnite results. It's is always an experiment. Praying for desired changes may work just as well as jacking up interest rates. But for sure, I have received from the author a wealth of information about the deflation-deflation dilemma and does me more good than what is daily trotted out by Fed's, Wall St and politicians. At least the book teaches readers, there are no quick fixes.

Verdi overview--short and sweet

Revisado: 04-25-22

Only $15 for less than 2 hours of Verdi highlights? An Audible book rip off. But well done biography highlights.

Just the book needed for relaxing after Sherman's civil war memoirs.

Revisado: 03-14-22

Found this E.B.White freebie after 30 plus hours listening to Sherman's memoirs. If I suddenly lost my ability to read or listen, White's writings would be my choice before my downfall. There is no hubris, and if the reader has any, White will drain every bit out of you. Then inflate you with just the right amount of humility.
The arts are often an antidote for the shy at heart.
