Historia
In 2017, a routine network television investigation led to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.

Pervasive NBC misogyny and corruption exposed.
Revisado: 11-03-19
This should be mandatory reading in high schools across the US to better prepare our young people for the workplace. The discrimination and exploitation of women at NBC is so extensive and gross that the FCC should consider some form of broadcast license suspension, perhaps for 30-90 days. Ronan Farrow has done his Country a great service with this publication.

Historia
April 25, 1986 in Chernobyl was a turning point in world history. The disaster not only changed the world’s perception of nuclear power and the science that spawned it, but also our understanding of the planet’s delicate ecology. With the images of the abandoned homes and playgrounds beyond the barbed wire of the 30-kilometer Exclusion Zone, the rusting graveyards of contaminated trucks and helicopters, the farmland lashed with black rain, the event fixed for all time the notion of radiation as an invisible killer.

Excellent display of a bureaucracy in action
Revisado: 03-20-19
Very interesting and detailed look at the accident and bureaucracy’s protection of itself and exploitation of individuals for “socialism’s greater good”. Obvious Herculean effort by author to infuse book with numerous ultra-low-level people such as “Moose”, the true heroes of Russia that stopped this potential runaway disaster. The book’s narrative provides yet another example for the nuclear power, weapons, and cyber industries (countless other industries are susceptible, too) on the human ability to defy probabilities, rules, policies, and common sense and consequently stumble into allegedly impossible-to-occur disasters.
A thoroughly enjoyable read!

Historia
Leon Uris retums to the land of his acclaimed best-seller Exodus for an epic story of hate and love, vengeance and forgiveness. The Middle East is the powerful setting for this sweeping tale of a land where revenge is sacred and hatred noble. Where an Arab ruler tries to save his people from destruction but cannot save them from themselves. When violence spreads like a plague across the lands of Palestine - this is the time of The Haj.

Mideast problem in a nutshell.

Great point about the Jews willingness to make any sacrifice to save their fellow Jews. Too bad Palestinians are not revered by the brothers.

Enjoyable and scarily follows reality.
Revisado: 08-02-15
Genuine, gritty and awesome; however, this is not for children or young teens as there are several completely unnecessary, gratuitous sex scenes. They are completely out of character with the rest of the book.

Chicks meet Raptors
Revisado: 04-28-15
The information about raptors, though incomplete, was interesting, but much of the story was narration of Helen's and White's depressive activities, which I could easily have replaced with my friends wives' stories or my own wife's facile statements about nukes, global warming, or the endless statements about "bad television" that they spend hours a day enjoying.
Book obviously edited by some village in England's missing idiot. The totally out of place statements on nukes and global warming were like extra appendages on a human body. No doubt the media complex required those moronic comments. The oblique questioning of the American air bases in England ignores the essential truth that without those bases England would no longer exist, that they would absolutely speak German or Russian today on that isle if not for those bases and that they will remain there for decades to come to protect not only England but more generally help to defend Western Civilization. Without the latter she would not have the luxury to collect public assistance while pursuing her hobby, falconry, and watching "bad television" hours per day.

Historia
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plainold "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

Historia
A hilarious, wildly erotic, and biting satire of Hollywood, Blue Movie tells the story of King B., an Oscar-winning director who's determined to shoot the dirtiest and most expensive X-rated movie ever made; Sid Krassman, a producer who's made a fortune catering to the tastes of the American public, and Angela Sterling, a misunderstood sex symbol who'd give anything (and everything) for a chance to do something "serious."
