Will abortion be legal? Should people of the same sex be allowed to marry? May colleges prefer black applicants over white ones? These are among the most bitterly contested issues in the United States today. We answer these questions, and many more, by presenting them to nine lawyers—the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. No other nation commits so many important questions to its highest court. Stuart Banner’s The Most Powerful Court in the World is an authoritative history of the United States Supreme Court from the Founding era to the present.

If you’re a history/supreme court buff like me, this is the best book to explain all the questions one may have about the secret black robe society. I HIGHLY recommend this book

When Bernie Sanders, an obscure Vermont senator, launched his quixotic 2016 presidential campaign, few could have seen just how radically the Democratic Party would transform in just a few short years—or that such a transformation could be led by a Bronx bartender volunteering for Bernie in her spare time. The world as it was when that campaign began is almost unrecognizable today, and the Squad has both shaped and been shaped by the seismic social, cultural, and political changes underway.

Missing information
Revisado: 12-28-23
The overall performance of the book was great but where Grimm falls short is when he intentionally omits certain names. Those missing names prevents the reader from doing research and corroborating/discrediting the claims made.

The mob, billionaires, presidents, political maneuvering, and war. This is a tough, plain-spoken, deeply passionate narrative by one of our most important national figures. So many politicians' books read as though they've been cobbled together from old speeches. The Good Fight is as far from that as it is possible to get. It is the story of a man who knows what a good fight is because he has had to fight like hell for everything his whole life.

Worse audible I’ve ever listened to
Revisado: 02-18-22
This audible is the worse one I’ve ever listened to. The narrator speaks the wrong words often and instead of fixing it they reread that part over with the correct word. Also, there are 2 chapters that are exactly the same.

The New York Times Magazine’s award-winning “1619 Project” issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This new book substantially expands on that work, weaving together 18 essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with 36 poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle, and resistance.

Loved every part of this book except the poems. There are some debatable claims made but the arguments presented were on point

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

This is the best book that I’ve heard since I picked up The Grapes of Wrath. Anytime a book is compared to Steinbeck you know it’s good and it was good for all of the same reasons. The great personifications

When she arrived at MIT in the 1990s, Alien wanted to study aerospace engineering, but she was soon drawn to the school’s venerable tradition of high-risk physical trespassing: the original “hacking”. Within a year, one of her hallmates was dead, two others were on trial, and two had been institutionalized. Alien’s adventures were only just beginning.

Terrible ending

Overall the book was good but the ending was so bad that I would not recommend this book. Worst ending since reading the grapes of wrath in high school

In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to 'bad people'" (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent meaningful cross-racial dialogue.

REQUIRED READING

Hello! Please read this book if you feel the need to better yourself. I, as a adult black male, read this book as a way to help heighten my knowledge when faced with implicit racism. Me and a white customer of mine are always having race discussions and my knowledge now will help me better explain to him the false binary. Thanks to the author for the gained knowledge and insight.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.
