Historia
Seventy years ago, Erwin Schrdinger posed a simple, yet profound, question: What is life?. How could the very existence of such extraordinary chemical systems be understood? This problem has puzzled biologists and physical scientists both before, and ever since. Living things are hugely complex and have unique properties, such as self-maintenance and apparently purposeful behaviour which we do not see in inert matter. So how does chemistry give rise to biology?

This is a scientific narrative of the chemical and physical laws/ processes that explain how chemistry became biology on this planet. Great contribution!!

Historia
Hated and hailed, excoriated and revered, Abraham Lincoln was at the pinnacle of American power when secessionists gave no quarter in a clash of visions bound up with money, race, identity, and faith. In him we can see the possibilities of the presidency as well as its limitations. This book tells the story of Lincoln from his birth on the Kentucky frontier to his leadership during the Civil War to his tragic assassination: his rise, his self-education, his loves, his bouts of depression, his political failures, his deepening faith, and his persistent conviction that slavery must end.

Thank you Mr Lincoln!
Revisado: 11-27-22
This book clearly demonstrates the power of critical thinking and how this gifted man communicated it to the people of his time. He started us on a path that continues today is an attempt to strive up to the standards written in 1776 in the Declaration of Independence.
Thank you Mr Meecham for your service in writing this.

Historia
Alan Scott Haft provides the first-hand testimony of his father, Harry Haft, a holocaust victim with a singular story of endurance, desperation, and unrequited love. Harry Haft was a 16-year-old Polish Jew when he entered a concentration camp in 1944. Forced to fight other Jews in bare-knuckle bouts for the perverse entertainment of SS officers, Harry quickly learned that his own survival depended on his ability to fight and win. Haft details the inhumanity of the "sport" in which he must perform in brutal contests for the officers.

The best and most worst of Humanity laid out in plain, painful, and powerful images. A story, while true, would be preferably fictional.
NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN. Many thanks to author and son, ALAN, for seeking to heal your wounds with this work.

Here we have in shocking vivid detail a chronicle of the worst presidency in the history of this country. This is from the eyes of the people Who have-been right next to him Throughout. Now that we’re Approaching a vote in November of this year, we require a digestible Video-documentary of this sad tale needs to be put together and shown to this country in prime time. That way, the public could benefit from full disclosure of what this man has done and will do even more of if reelected.

Vividly experience the horror of the greatest stain on human history, through the eyes of albeit fictional characters. It brings home the intensity of the Holocaust with an engrossing tale that flows like a thriller. Very well crafted and the performance of the reader is rich and moving. Excellent listen.

A ride through unstoppable corruption
Revisado: 12-16-17
This will make a great TV series, but it will have to stretch to beat this audio version. If you hate New York City urban culture, this book will not change your mind. If you love it as well as the raw humanity of New York City, you will enjoy this venture through it, the bottom of side of dirty capitalism. If you like colorful dialogue, search no further.

Historia
With courage, grace, and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of World War II and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France—a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.
