Brian Holland, Edward Holland, and Lamont Dozier, known as Holland-Dozier-Holland or H-D-H, were the greatest songwriting team in American pop music history. Seventy of the songs they wrote reached the Billboard Top 40, with 15 of these reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart. No other songwriting team or individual has come close to equaling, let alone surpassing, this record. They’ve been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Many good stories behind some of the Motown hits and the people involved. I wish there were more. The focus is on the two Holland brothers with less information on Lamont Dozier. Slow start with too much background on their family but it gets going quickly then

Lots of interesting stories on the music business and Kenny's career. The last few chapters were not as interesting but overall a very good read.

On a serene night in 1953, Sally Mason, a dedicated wife and mother of two, drives a twisting road on her way home from night school. Suddenly, a mysterious bluish-white light descends over the road. Terrified, Sally slams on the brakes. After a flash of bright light nearly blinds her, she passes out, awakening to the persistent knock of a police officer on her car window. When she sees the officer and remembers her frightening experience, she screams and faints, and is rushed to the hospital.

Decent time travel story that kept me interested but overall it was nothing special. Do not expect a science fiction story with challenging philosophical issues.

Fascinating
Revisado: 10-05-22
This book is about a couple that went into the remote Africa's Kalahari desert and lived there for years in the late 1970s before GPS. They did research on lions, brown hyenas, jackals and other animals. The book includes lots of interesting details on the lives of these animals including many life threatening close encounters. It's amazing that they survived this life given their lack of experience and proper equipment when they first arrived.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Revisado: 09-10-21
I don't read a lot of Science Fiction but I loved this book It's one of those books that you're sorry when it's over. Great concept of a scientist waking up alone in a spaceship in another solar system with initially no memory of why he is there. Over time he does remember and goes on with the mission. The book can be technical but don't let that scare you off. It can also be funny. The ending is perfect. Read it. The narration is the best I've heard.

Beginning with opium, the “joy plant,” which has been used for 10,000 years, Thomas Hager tells a captivating story of medicine. His subjects include the largely forgotten female pioneer who introduced smallpox inoculation to Britain, the infamous knockout drops, the first antibiotic, which saved countless lives, the first antipsychotic, which helped empty public mental hospitals, Viagra, statins, and the new frontier of monoclonal antibodies. This is a deep, wide-ranging, and wildly entertaining book.

Ken McNab's in-depth look at the Beatles' acrimonious final year is a detailed account of the breakup featuring the perspectives of all four band members and their roles. A must to add to the collection of Beatles fans, And in the End is full of fascinating information available for the first time. McNab reconstructs for the first time the seismic events of 1969, when the Beatles reached new highs of creativity and new lows of the internal strife that would destroy them.

In an Ireland doubly ravaged by war and disease, Nurse Julia Power works at an understaffed hospital in the city center, where expectant mothers who have come down with the terrible new flu are quarantined together. Into Julia's regimented world step two outsiders - Doctor Kathleen Lynn, a rumored Rebel on the run from the police, and a young volunteer helper, Bridie Sweeney. In the darkness and intensity of this tiny ward, over three days, these women change each other's lives in unexpected ways.

The focus of this book is a few days in a 1918 Irish maternity ward and staff and patients affected. There's a lot of detail on patient care but very little on WWI, the flu or the Irish rebellion which I expected more of.
