Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 72
The Holocaust is much discussed, much memorialized, and much portrayed. But there are major aspects of its history that have been overlooked. Spanning the entirety of the Holocaust, this sweeping history deepens our understanding. Dan Stone—Director of the Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway, University of London—reveals how the idea of “industrial murder” is incomplete: many were killed where they lived in the most brutal of ways.

I learned a lot. Somehow, despite the horrors, an easy listen. Will listen again, might even look for a paperback.

A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, The Sun Also Rises introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.

Seemed pointless
Revisado: 03-20-22
I’m sure many literary officionados will argue with me, but I felt that this story was incredibly banal and nearly pointless. I typically read non-fiction, thought I’d give Hemingway a go; glad I tried but will not entertain another most likely. The story was pleasant, almost like background noise. Perhaps that was the goal of the author; a realistic portrayal of a man and his group of friends’ journey for a week or two.

Is the world really falling apart? Is the ideal of progress obsolete? In this elegant assessment of the human condition in the third millennium, cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, which play to our psychological biases. Instead, follow the data: Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise, not just in the West but worldwide.

Required reading for the thinking person

Another hit for Pinker. He went from “Who’s that?” to one of my favorite authors after 2 (admittedly lengthy) books. This book makes a terrific case for secular values, compassion, and evidenced-based decision making in medicine, politics, and all sorts of pertinent matters. I couldn’t recommend this more to anyone who claims to be rational, current, cosmopolitan, anti-intellectual, a scientist, a science denier, or those who simply want to take stalk in human progress as assessed by quantitative metrics and care reasoning.
