Historia
When, at age forty-six, Nancy Pelosi, mother of five, asked her youngest daughter if she should run for Congress, Alexandra Pelosi answered: “Mother, get a life!” And so Nancy did, and what a life it has been. In The Art of Power, Pelosi describes for the first time what it takes to make history—not only as the first woman to ascend to the most powerful legislative role in our nation, but to pass laws that would save lives and livelihoods, from the emergency rescue of the economy in 2008 to transforming health care.

I love the historical backgrounds
Revisado: 08-28-24
I love historical background to the legislative process. I suppose our country has always been contentious, but I seem to recall a step up in the animosity in the past two decades.

Historia
Anthony Fauci is arguably the most famous–and most revered–doctor in the world today. His role guiding America sanely and calmly through Covid (and through the torrents of Trump) earned him the trust of millions during one of the most terrifying periods in modern American history, but this was only the most recent of the global epidemics in which Dr. Fauci played a major role. His crucial role in researching HIV and bringing AIDS into sympathetic public view and his leadership in navigating the Ebola, SARS, West Nile, and anthrax crises, make him truly an American hero.

A story of my times
Revisado: 08-02-24
Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Fauci. I lived through these times. I remember the things that happened and how the world handled every new piece of information. Thank you for the courage to stand up for the truth and the importance of everyone. I appreciate all that you have done and all of the work done by those who accompanied you on this tough journey of World health.

Historia
On September 27, 2018, Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee which was considering the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. She described an alleged sexual assault by the Supreme Court nominee that took place at a high school party in the 1980s. Her words and courage on that day provided some of the most credible and unforgettable testimony our country has ever witnessed. In One Way Back, Ford recounts the months she spent trying to get information into the right hands without exposing herself and her family to backlash.

Historia
An unexpected death on a lonely road outside of Utah’s Bears Ears National Park raises questions for Navajo Tribal Police officers Jim Chee and Bernadette Manuelito. Why would a seasoned outdoorsman and well-known paleontologist freeze to death within walking distance of his car? A second death brings more turmoil. Who is the unidentified man killed during a home invasion where nothing seems to have been taken? Why was he murdered? An illicit business, a fossilized jaw bone, hints of witchcraft, and a mysterious disappearance during a blizzard add to the peril.

Thank you to the author for continuing the saga of these characters. I love reading and hearing the stories, and I really appreciate the focus on the strong, female characters. I enjoyed the narration, because I enjoyed hearing how the writing sounded with the pronunciation of the Navajo. I enjoyed everything about this book. I am sad that it is ended, and I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Revisado: 03-13-22
I enjoyed this book and learned a lot. I am familiar with all of the companies used as examples, and so I found the material very instructive. I remember how I felt about each one of those companies and their products at the different time periods discussed in the book. If I found that I had an attitude about a particular company, the book explained to me why I had developed it. I foresee that I will be visiting this book again in the future to remind me why I do what I do. The audiobook was terrific because the author narrated it. I have always enjoyed listening to the author's style of speaking, and I was not disappointed to hear his voice outline his ideas. Thank you for taking the time to research this topic and to share it in order to inspire us.

Spensa’s life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus, and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell - the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What’s more, she traveled light-years from home as an undercover spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small planet home. Now, the Superiority - the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life - has started a galaxy-wide war.

I loved this book. Sure , there were moments when the story seemed to sag and I wondered where we were going. But I know and trust Brandon Sanderson to pull it all together, and he certainly did that!!! Ready for book 4. And I am seriously going to come up with my own call sign (love the acknowledgements!). And Suzy Jackson is the best narrator voice for this series!

"'Boy, do I have a lot to learn!'" Anyone who's ever picked up a musical instrument of any kind - from the first caveman banging rocks to that little kid at the guitar shop - has thought that. I know I did. I'd been trying for years to break in to the music scene, to show everyone my chops, to make my mark. And I was good. But I wasn't great. I knew that there was something wrong. Then the teacher showed up...."

A long time fan and listener of Victor Wooten's music, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audible book and the extra music included. What a terrific story! This book sparked very deep conversations with many of my musician friends and students. Thank you for giving us this deep perspective. What I would pay to have you show up in my living room as my teacher! Thank you!

GREAT BOOK. HORRIBLE READER
- De Careful Consumer en 06-08-15
Can I read this again?
Revisado: 06-24-20
I hesitated to get this book as an audible credit because of the reviews where they talked about the performance being less than stellar. However, I enjoyed listening to this book! I want to listen to it again! I want to buy a hard copy and read it as well! Read it many times! I listened at a 1 1/2 rate of speed, and perhaps that made it easier for me in terms of the performance, but I found nothing at all difficult about listening to the performance. I thought it fit the book material just fine. For anyone who is interested in this subject matter, don't let the reviews stop you from listening. This is a great book and filled with information that will serve to build a worthwhile life.

Historia
In the year 2018, it seems as if women’s anger has suddenly erupted into the public conversation. But long before this, women’s anger was not only politically catalytic - but politically problematic. With eloquence and fervor, Rebecca tracks the history of female anger as political fuel - from suffragettes chaining themselves to the White House to office workers vacating their buildings after Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court. She deconstructs society’s (and the media’s) condemnation of female emotion (notably, rage) and the impact of resulting repercussions.

Revisado: 07-24-18
Once again, Will Patton has delivered a masterful performance! His ability to change character voices, paired with his excellent sense of inflection and timing, brings this story to life in a way unequaled. And Stephen King as always as delivered a story that clutch is you and insinuates into your mind and imagination. I kept looking for opportunities to get in the car and drive so I could continue the story. I will miss these characters!
