Historia
In this exclusive audiobook edition, which includes eight hours of new content, Snyder combines the original essays from On Tyranny with twenty new lessons that answer the questions everyone is asking about this war. With forays into history, he clarifies the causes of the Russian invasion and the meaning of Ukrainian resistance, and explains the war's connections to threats to democracy here in the United States and around the world. Linking past and present, speaking only from notes, he guides the listener into the larger moral universe of On Tyranny.

Historia
Donald Trump will be president again, whether he is on the ballot or not. That is because Trumpism is overtaking the Republican Party and will mount a vigorous comeback, potentially in the hands of a savvier successor. This prophecy will come true, according to Miles Taylor, if we do not learn the lessons of the recent past. With the 2024 election approaching, the formerly “Anonymous” official is back with bombshell revelations and a sobering national forecast. Taylor predicts what could happen inside “Trump 2.0,” the White House of a more competent and more formidable copycat.

I enjoyed this book in that it validated much of my perception of Trump. I was pleasantly surprised by the frank and honest self-story of Miles' own life.

A little disappointing
Revisado: 05-21-23
Found it hard to follow with the thick accents by readers … I’d rather be read to than play-acted to … could you leave that to the tv series production, maybe?

In a cave high in the Alps, a renegade anthropologist discovers a frozen Neanderthal couple with a Homo sapiens baby. Meanwhile, in southern Russia, the U.N. investigation of a mysterious mass grave is cut short. One of the investigators, molecular biologist Kaye Lang, returns home to the U.S. to learn that her theory on human retroviruses has been verified with the discovery of SHEVA, a virus that has slept in our DNA for millions of years and is now waking up.

Needs a different narrator
Revisado: 12-14-22
The sci-fi core of this story is great …. but that’s it. The ‘human story’ is unnecessarily over-described. And the (male narrator’s) voicing of female characters is insulting to all women. This narrator obviously has never been in the company of intelligent women discussing scientific issues. I don't believe that the author has either.
Disappointed …..

AWFUL reading of wonderful book
Revisado: 11-29-21
I gave 3 stars for the story, and if I could give minus stars for the reading I would! It is a garbled mess of voices, supposedly representing the characters in the story. Especially irritating are Scott Brick’s falsetto voices for female characters, and all other character voices he undertakes. For shame that such a fine book couldn’t have just been read in a calm, articulate manner. When I read these books to myself, do you really think that I made up little voices to represent the characters? For shame! A fine book butchered!

Historia
Likened to the works of Faulkner and Dickens when it was first published 20 years ago, this extraordinarily accomplished debut novel is a brilliantly plotted story of forbidden love and piercing political drama, centered on the tragic decline of an Indian family in the state of Kerala, on the southernmost tip of India. Armed only with the invincible innocence of children, the twins Rahel and Esthappen fashion a childhood for themselves in the shade of the wreck that is their family.

Revisado: 10-07-21
Being a western white urban woman, I find this story to be alien. knowing that I cannot fully appreciate the meaning of the story artifacts and archetypes, still I find myself awestruck. The language is filled with gorgeous poetry. The story lulls and draws one in and then carefully stretches the mind to the immensity of love, humanity and God.

Historia
Food has the power to temporarily alleviate stress and sadness, enhance joy, and bring us comfort when we need it most. It's no wonder experts estimate that 75 percent of overeating is triggered by our emotions, not physical hunger. The good news is you can instead soothe yourself through dozens of mindful activities that are healthy for both body and mind.

Not what expected

I had hoped this book would describe 50 tangible ways to soothe anxiety which leads to comfort eating. Instead it is a rather preachy set of premises of psychology.

Historia
In Dearly, Margaret Atwood’s first collection of poetry in over a decade, Atwood addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, the nature of nature and—zombies. Her new poetry is introspective and personal in tone, but wide-ranging in topic. In poem after poem, she casts her unique imagination and unyielding, observant eye over the landscape of a life carefully and intuitively lived.
