Historia
Since its inception, higher education in the US has claimed to develop leaders. This bold claim appears in college mission statements and mottos, and it is reinforced in recruiting materials and ad campaigns. But is this claim justified? Leadership Reckoning takes to task American colleges and universities for their haphazard, incoherent, evidence-free approaches to developing students as leaders and offers a principle-driven, outcome-oriented blueprint for how effective leader development can occur.

The reader needs a coach
Revisado: 05-15-21
This book has great information and leadership really does need to be taught at today's colleges. The reader needs a lead from behind coach and sound editor. There a mistakes, 3 sec repeats, coughs, page turns, drinks of water, and what sounded like a mic drop in this recordinding. I will be refunding the credit and getting the book on paper.

Why do authors always want to read their own books? It would have at least been okay with a decent pop shield, a glass of water, and the ability to keep to voices consistent.

Real life politicians in fiction fall flat...
Revisado: 11-10-18
Dick Hill is great as usual, but the author tried to mix real-life politicians into the action- and failed miserably. It seemed that Peterson was looking for a Presidential Tweet.

Great book for an entertaining afternoon listen to while cleaning the house. Characters are a little over the top, but that only makes it more fun.

Started strong... ended in need of a good editor
Revisado: 03-09-17
The first several hours of this book were great. Good set-up, character development, and a fresh view on a fairy tail. And then it just kept going past where it would have been interesting, threw in some erotica that changed the entire age range of the book, and ended with a sigh. Can't say that I will look to Novik for another read. The narrator did not bother me in the least, though at 3x most accents get ironed out.

Historia
Finding and identifying a pirate ship is the hardest thing to do under the sea. But two men—John Chatterton and John Mattera—are willing to risk everything to find the Golden Fleece, the ship of the infamous pirate Joseph Bannister. At large during the Golden Age of Piracy in the seventeenth century, Bannister should have been immortalized in the lore of the sea—his exploits more notorious than Blackbeard’s, more daring than Kidd’s. But his story, and his ship, have been lost to time.

Historia
In American on Purpose, Craig Ferguson delivers a moving and achingly funny memoir of living the American dream as he journeys from the mean streets of Glasgow, Scotland, to the comedic promised land of Hollywood. Along the way, he stumbles through several attempts to make his mark - as a punk rock musician, a construction worker, a bouncer, and, tragically, a modern dancer.

Craig Ferguson
Revisado: 01-30-12
Craig Ferguson is a stand-up comic who moves seamlessly between political critique and bawdy, senseless humor. This will give you an idea of where his humor comes from and the source of his "It's a Great Day for America!" slogan. The end of the book is worth reading, as it will stir the patriot in everyone. Growing up outside of the U.S. is one thing that can help you clearly see the beauty and opportunity our country presents.

A huge surprise
Revisado: 09-25-11
Downloaded by my son, we have both listened and been amazed at this book. The characters are well delineated by the reader, with every nuance of accent and affect possible. It makes you laugh, but more often shake your head in amazement at the idiocy of these people. I can't recommend it to my book club (very funny, frank references to masturbation), but you gotta read this!
