From 2010 to 2020, more people participated in protests than at any other point in human history. Yet we are not living in more just and democratic societies as a result. IF WE BURN is a stirring work of history built around a single, vital question: How did so many mass protests lead to the opposite of what they asked for?

Wonderful overview with a challenging conclusion
Revisado: 03-31-25
As we live through the reactionary aftermath of the 2010s protest era, Bevins provides an insightful abd easy to follow story of what sparked these explosions and begins reaching towards how we might do better next time.

A great book read well. This was fun and terrifying all at once, a fantastic mix of fact and fiction that helped this lit major better understand some of science’s toughest concepts.

Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.

While maybe some of it is out of date, this short history lives up to its name. And, more history than textbook, it focuses more on how we figured out a bit of everything meaning the stories and lessons live forever. Super entertaining, well-delivered, and educational, this is what an audiobook is meant to be!

Easy to follow (once you get the rhythm) and very worth hearing of you haven’t read the novel

Great read, dated tale
Revisado: 05-03-19
Incredible performance, dated eco-nationalist politics. Listen for the boyhood adventures and drop on how to be a king. It’s super fun to listen to, though!
