From his acclaimed stage triumphs to his legendary onscreen work in the Star Trek and X-Men franchises, Sir Patrick Stewart has captivated audiences around the world and across multiple generations with his indelible command of stage and screen. Now, he presents his long-awaited memoir, Making It So, a revealing portrait of an artist whose astonishing life—from his humble beginnings in Yorkshire, England, to the heights of Hollywood and worldwide acclaim—proves a story as exuberant, definitive, and enduring as the author himself.

Beautiful reflection on a life in theater, tv, and film
Revisado: 03-04-24
I really enjoyed this book. It’s an especial treat listening to Stewart narrate his own life. Fans will enjoy the back stories to his theater, tv, and film work. I especially loved hearing about how Stewart channeled his father when playing Leontes (A Winter’s Tale) and Macbeth. I believe he is honest about his life’s failings, many I had not heard off before, such as his being a bit of a bully as a child and his multiple marriages. He had a tough childhood, growing up in rough Northern England with an alcoholic and abusive father. Yet, he came through the experience as a compassionate, hard working, thoughtful, and inquisitive professional devoted to a life of theater. Highly recommended.

For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon - a chance to party during spring break and play with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who has decided to fight the feed and its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires.

Timely story effectively dramatized
Revisado: 07-20-23
Really enjoyed this. World building is inventive, convincing, and humorous. Early scenes reminded me of a YA version of Brett Easton Ellis in the best way. After having established the world the second half becomes increasingly somber as the facade of what the novel portrayed as its SF world is lifted revealing what is left of our own endangered world. I was crying by the end.

A bold new history of modern conservatism that finds its origins in the populist right-wing politics of the 1990s.

I grew up in the 90s and assumed I knew this story. Hemmer is very useful in positioning her stories within the wider historical context, showing where the 90s deviated away from 80s conservative politics and towards the partisan politics of the present.

Powerful and accessible, A History of America in Ten Strikes challenges all of our contemporary assumptions around labor, unions, and American workers. In this brilliant book, labor historian Erik Loomis recounts ten critical workers’ strikes in American labor history that everyone needs to know about (and then provides an annotated list of the 150 most important moments in American labor history in the appendix).

as someone just getting interested in the labor movement I found this a useful introduction. I recently listened to the Richard White history of the Reconstruction and Gilded Age, which was VERY good and I think a worthy companion to this book.

At the end of the Civil War the leaders and citizens of the victorious North envisioned the country's future as a free-labor republic, with a homogenous citizenry, both Black and White. The South and West were to be reconstructed in the image of the North. Thirty years later Americans occupied an unimagined world. The unity that the Civil War supposedly secured had proved ephemeral. The country was larger, richer, and more extensive but also more diverse.

great history full of parallels full of parallels to our time. I recommended to everyone concerned about our current moment. Histories inform our current moment as much as this one does.

Almost a decade in the making, this much-anticipated grand history of postwar Europe from one of the world’s most esteemed historians and intellectuals is a singular achievement. Postwar is the first modern history that covers all of Europe, both east and west, drawing on research in six languages to sweep readers through 34 nations and 60 years of political and cultural change—all in one integrated, enthralling narrative.

In the most ambitious one-volume American history in decades, award-winning historian Jill Lepore offers a magisterial account of the origins and rise of a divided nation. In riveting prose, These Truths tells the story of America, beginning in 1492, to ask whether the course of events has proven the nation's founding truths or belied them.

With the end of the Cold War, the victory of liberal democracy was thought to be absolute. Observers declared the end of history, confident in a peaceful, globalized future. But we now know this to be premature. Authoritarianism first returned in Russia, as Putin developed a political system dedicated solely to the consolidation and exercise of power. In the last six years, it has creeped from east to west as nationalism inflames Europe, abetted by Russian propaganda and cyberwarfare.

excellent! Looking forward to listening again.

this was exactly the book I needed. it not only clarified and put together some of the information I had heard in the news, mostly regarding Russian influence over US politics, but also painted an important picture of where these motivations came from, using Russians activities o
in Ukraine as illustration. I was expecting something more like an essay, which is more of the second part. I was surprised and delighted by the rich history I received in addition to the grounding ideas. both are essential bulwark against tyranny.

Is there more than one history of the world? This is the question Pierce Moffett is seeking to answer when, jilted and newly jobless, he gets off a bus by chance in the Faraway Hills and steps unawares into a story that has been awaiting him there. His search will bring him into contact with Rosie Rasmussen, another seeker marked by loss. And it will lead them both on a path toward the longed-for country of our oldest dreams and most unanswerable desires, toward a magnificent discovery.

This is by far my most treasured audible possession, and I have been a member for several years now. The story, the reading, both are flawless! I hope Mr. Crowley will eventually record audio versions for the remaining three books. Until then I am eagerly awaiting the upcoming release of his masterpiece--Little, Big on audible.
