In a time when Washington, DC and the country are more polarized than they have been for decades, John McCain is the rare public figure who has earned the respect of people on both sides of the aisle. He is a model for bipartisanship and political integrity. In his 40 years in politics, McCain has never been afraid to buck trends or ruffle a few feathers. His words are more important today than ever.

A must read, regardless of your politics
Revisado: 08-20-19
The Honorable John McCain does a great job of describing the ins and outs of being a statesman/woman as well as how to truly get things done for America. McCain makes you proud to be an American. He does a great job describing American Exceptionalism and why the world needs US as much as we need World Democracy. Not Tribalism or Nationalism!

Nearly every American knows someone who has been affected by the opioid crisis. Addiction is a trans-partisan issue that impacts individuals from every walk of life. Millions of Americans are tired of watching their loved ones die while politicians ignore this issue. Where is the solution? Where is the hope? Where's the outrage? Ryan Hampton understands firsthand how easy it is to develop a dependency on opioids, and how destructive it can quickly become. Now, he is waging a permanent campaign to change our way of thinking about and addressing addiction in this country.

Very few careers can offer you the freedom, flexibility, and income that day trading does. As a day trader, you can live and work anywhere in the world. You can decide when to work and when not to work. You only answer to yourself. That is the life of the successful day trader. Many people aspire to it, but very few succeed. In the audiobook, I describe the fundamentals of day trading, explain how day trading is different from other styles of trading and investment, and elaborate on important trading strategies that many traders use every day.

I do not know anything about the stock market. I have mutual funds and deferred compensation, but I don’t really know anything about the stock market
I retired from the Navy in 2005. I’m getting ready to retire from a law enforcement career. I tell you this, because I don’t know anything about stocks.
Andrew is extremely smart and well educated person who knows how to speak to my level. This book was awesome.
It’s not like I completely understood everything he was saying, but I was able to track the information as he was saying. By the way,, I bought the audiobook and I’m getting ready to buy the hard cover so that I can highlight and marking it for reference material.
If you have an interest in the stock market I wanna good start to feed your interest, this is the book for you.

What are Upstanders? Let's start with this: They are the opposite of bystanders. They are problem solvers and protestors, students and parents, professionals and civic leaders. Some fight injustice; others fearlessly challenge the status quo. They are ordinary people who are making extraordinary differences in their communities and beyond. From Salt Lake City to Memphis to Baltimore, Upstanders remind us that participation in civic life has no bounds - and that we can all be the change we wish to see in the world.

When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York.

Beyond preserving the firsthand testimonies of participants and witnesses, individuals and societies must continually take responsibility for learning the painful lessons of the past in order to offer hope for the future. Survivor Café offers a clear-eyed sense of the enormity of our 21st-century human inheritance - not only among direct descendants of the Holocaust, but also in the shape of our collective responsibility to learn from tragedy.

Revisado: 09-29-17
We should never forget and take all measure to ensure we keep Evil on its leash and never side with it. Moderates must always take a stand for humanity and justice.
I really enjoyed hearing the facts and human approach to all of this. We are flawed creatures but we must always do the right thing.

Including stories from paradise and hard-won lessons in seamanship, Taleisin's Tales reflects back to the first miles Lin and Larry Pardey gained together on the second boat they built lovingly with teak carvel planking over sawn black locust frames. The book includes details from outfitting, provisioning, and final detailing during the early months Lin and Larry spent getting to know their new bluewater cruiser, as well as moments of melancholy as they let go of attachments to their first trusty boat.

The stories and analogies are very well written. Lin and Larry do a great job providing sailing tips, insight and adventure.
Very inspirational and extremely well balanced with honest mistakes and insights as well as praise for getting it right.
Makes me wish I was this type of modern day sailor. I can't wait to follow the path The Pardey's took

The Middle East is a critically important area of our world. And, with its current prominence in international affairs, media images of the Middle East reach us on a daily basis. Much media coverage, however, is incomplete at best, failing to take account of either the complexities or the historical background of this pivotal region. For most of us, the real story of the Middle East remains untold. What made this crucial geopolitical area what it is today?

Through the eyes of Dexter Filkins, we witness the chain of events that began with the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, continued with the attacks of 9/11, and moved on to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Forever War allows us a visceral understanding of today's battlefields and of the experiences of the people on the ground, warriors and innocents alike. It is a brilliant, fearless work, not just about America's wars after 9/11, but ultimately about the nature of war itself.

Everyone Should read/listen to this book
Revisado: 06-19-17
It is not what I thought it would be.
The author does a great job of telling the entire story. He spent time speaking to many many people involved: Generals, soldiers, religious leaders, citizens, normal people, strange people, terrorists, etc.
The author does a great job laying out how confusing the Middle East is to US. He doesn't blame anyone or anything. Just finds the info and puts it on display in this book.
I'll be reading this book over and over.
You will not be disappointed

I recently started listening to audio books and love it. I am not much for reading so this is my next best replacement.
I really enjoyed the story, start to finish. The author laid out the foundation for the story, set us Sailing with her and kept me coming back with her humor, details. descriptive nature.
All and all and good book. I will listen to it again because am sure I missed a lot of details when I was mapping their trip.
Very nice job.
