Historia
Based on four years of intensive primary document research, Lawrence in Arabiadefinitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed. Sweeping in its action, keen in its portraiture, acid in its condemnation of the destruction wrought by European colonial plots, this is a book that brilliantly captures the way in which the folly of the past creates the anguish of the present.

Incredibly Illuminating
Revisado: 06-03-21
A must read for those interested in the twists and turns that led to the making of the modern Middle East. The Balfour Declaration, Wilson’s 14 points, The Paris Peace Accord of 1919; it ties it all together with understandable language and commentary, including the back story of intertwining relationships.
Loved it. Detailed and engaging.

Historia
Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To do so, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now.

Life Revealed
Revisado: 05-13-15
At times raw and gut-wrenching. as we traverse the intricate weave of life amongst friends and acquaintances, Tolstoy reveals to us the depths of the human experience. I was caught off guard with breadth of this books topics but was nonetheless pleased with the outcome. I can hardly wait to get a hold of the printed copy so I can "re read" some of the closing passages.
The narration was fantastic - truly a gifted voice. Love the whole of this experience.

A must read for those who seek "success" outside the home while trying to balance life. I couldn't put it down. I will definitely seek out other titles written by this author.
