You can say goodbye to today's Internet, New York Times best-selling author George Gilder says. Soon the current model of aggregated free content populated with "value-subtracted" advertising will die a natural deat. In Life After Google, Gilder takes listeners on a brilliant, rocketing journey into the very near-future, into an Internet with a new "bitcoin-bitgold" transaction layer that will replace spam with seamless micro-payments and provide an all-new standard for global money.

She used to work for the US government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn't even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning. Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They've killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon.

Autumn 1944. World War II is nearly over in Europe but is escalating in the Pacific, where American soldiers face an opponent who will go to any length to avoid defeat. The Japanese army follows the samurai code of Bushido, stipulating that surrender is a form of dishonor. Killing the Rising Sun takes listeners to the bloody tropical-island battlefields of Peleliu and Iwo Jima and to the embattled Philippines, where General Douglas MacArthur has made a triumphant return and is plotting a full-scale invasion of Japan.

BEST OF THE KILLING SERIES
Revisado: 11-16-16
Would you listen to Killing the Rising Sun again? Why?
The details about the Japanese and WW II were foreign to me until Killing the Rising Sun pointed out the atrocities of the Japanese army. Could not take in all I heard the first read.
Who was your favorite character and why?
NA
What does Robert Petkoff and Bill O'Reilly bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I make no time to read but can listen while I am driving. I would not have read the book most likely
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, Very Riviting
Any additional comments?
Highly recommend to anyone interested in the war against Japan.

Rafe Khatchadorian has enough problems at home without throwing his first year of middle school into the mix. Luckily, he's got an ace plan for the best year ever, if only he can pull it off: With his best friend Leonardo the Silent awarding him points, Rafe tries to break every rule in his school's oppressive Code of Conduct. Chewing gum in class - 5,000 points! Running in the hallway = 10,000 points! Pulling the fire alarm - 50,000 points! But when Rafe's game starts to catch up with him, he'll have to decide if winning is all that matters.

Was not the fun story I expected. It is narrated by a supposed juvenile but turns into a predictable story that bordered on boring

We use DNA routinely - to cure diseases, solve crimes, and reunite families. Yet we've known about it for only 60 years. And what we're continuing to learn about it every day has the potential to transform our health, our nutrition, our society, and our future. But what, exactly is DNA, the self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms?

What made the experience of listening to Understanding Genetics: DNA, Genes, and Their Real-World Applications the most enjoyable?
You do need some Genetics background to really understand but the lecturer was is a rare person that understood the subject and was able to convey his knowledge in a manner that made it understandable and fun
What other book might you compare Understanding Genetics: DNA, Genes, and Their Real-World Applications to and why?
N/A
Any additional comments?
Professor Sadava is the kind of professor that makes understanding a storyline. He is good.

This classic expose of the Fed has become one of the best-selling books in its category of all time. Where does money come from? Where does it go? Who makes it? The money magician's secrets are unveiled. Here is a close look at their mirrors and smoke machines, the pulleys, cogs, and wheels that create the grand illusion called money. A boring subject? Just wait. You'll be hooked in five minutes. It reads like a detective story - which it really is, but it's all true.

There's a lot of things we are not told
Revisado: 09-07-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend. Not many books out on the Federal Reserve system. I found out a lot more than i expected!
What does Mark Bramhall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Mark's tones and expression emphasize points that might get passed over if the book was read
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, although it would be an impossibility
Any additional comments?
Almost a conspiracy theory. The kind of book that you might not want to discuss with anyone but a close acquaintance.

In Tibet, geologist David R. Montgomery heard a local story about a great flood that bore a striking similarity to Noah’s Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating theworld’s flood stories and - drawing from historic works by theologians, natural philosophers, and scientists - discovered the counterintuitive role Noah’s Flood played in the development of both geology and creationism.

DRY DRY DRY!!!
Revisado: 11-06-13
Would you try another book from David R. Montgomery and/or Gary Telles?
No. Narration is terrible and content is way toooooooo dry
What was most disappointing about David R. Montgomery’s story?
The Story, What Story?
What didn’t you like about Gary Telles’s performance?
Just too professorial. No intonation in his voice. Like listening to a dull lecture
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Rocks Don't Lie?
Just would not have even started it. I did not finish it.
Any additional comments?
Don't waste your money unless sleeping pills are not available
