Michael Pollan, known for his best-selling nonfiction audio, including The Omnivores Dilemma and How to Change Your Mind, conceived and wrote Caffeine: How Caffeine Created the Modern World as an Audible Original. In this controversial and exciting listen, Pollan explores caffeine’s power as the most-used drug in the world - and the only one we give to children (in soda pop) as a treat.

Curious about caffeine? Be entertained.
Revisado: 08-08-20
Michael Pollan entertains you with information about caffeine, coffee, tea, and more, and he retells his experiences of living without it and living with it and describes how caffeine effects us physically, financially, and, of course, at night whether we stay up or sleep.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 5,320
New York, 1888. Gas lamps still flicker in the city streets, but the miracle of electric light is in its infancy. The person who controls the means to turn night into day will make history - and a vast fortune. A young untested lawyer named Paul Cravath, fresh out of Columbia Law School, takes a case that seems impossible to win. Paul's client, George Westinghouse, has been sued by Thomas Edison over a billion-dollar question: Who invented the lightbulb and holds the right to power the country?

Interesting and Informative while still fiction
Revisado: 10-05-19
I enjoyed this what if retelling of the story of conflict between Edison, Westinghouse, and Telsa. While facts provide a foundation gor the story, the author clearly states he took some literary license to write a good story. Enjoy!

A breakneck race against time…and an implacable enemy. An anonymous young woman murdered in a run-down hotel, all identifying characteristics dissolved by acid. A father publicly beheaded in the blistering heat of a Saudi Arabian public square. A notorious Syrian biotech expert found eyeless in a Damascus junkyard. Smoldering human remains on a remote mountainside in Afghanistan. A flawless plot to commit an appalling crime against humanity. One path links them all, and only one man can make the journey. Pilgrim.

I' ve enjoyed this spy novel more than others.
Revisado: 10-02-19
The narrator gave a very good performance of the various characters, and the author provided a very good storyline with character development that provided humor, suspense, and most of all empathy for the main character.

Atlantic is a biography of a tremendous space that has been central to the ambitions of explorers, scientists, and warriors, and continues profoundly to affect our character, attitudes, and dreams. Spanning the ocean's story, from its geological origins to the age of exploration, from World War II battles to today's struggles with pollution and overfishing, Winchester's narrative is epic, intimate, and awe inspiring.

Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

A must read book describing present US challenges
Revisado: 08-04-16
J.D. Vance does an excellent job of describing the challenges now confronting many Americans and a thoughtful job of identifying the obstacles that often get in the way of those Americans dealing with those challenges in a positive manner. This is the memior of a young man who comes of age with the help of family, friends, the Marines, and true mentors and who beats the odds that were stacked against him.
