Ripples in Spacetime is an engaging account of the international effort to complete Einstein's project, capture his elusive ripples, and launch an era of gravitational-wave astronomy that promises to explain, more vividly than ever before, our universe's structure and origin. The quest for gravitational waves involved years of risky research and many personal and professional struggles that threatened to derail one of the world's largest scientific endeavors.

Great overview, ear opener to gravitational wave
Revisado: 02-25-18
A metaphor given in the book is quite appropriate. A deaf jungle trekker suddenly hears--like our experience with gravitational wave. The story is well laid out, with background stretching back centuries. The LISA pathfinder section is a little confusing.

Touched off by a terrorist act in Bosnia and spreading all too quickly beyond the expectations of those who were involved, World War I was an unprecedented catastrophe with a ghastly cost. After this first "total war"-the first conflict involving entire societies mobilized to wage unrestrained war, devoting all their wealth, industries, institutions, and the lives of their citizens to win victory at any price - the world itself would never be the same.

EXCELLENT SURVEY COURSE THAT NEEDS MORE CHRONOLOGY

Addictive listening, great learning

Very comprehensive coverage. The lectures touch on many aspects of the war, not just the battles.

In The Power of Habit, award-winning business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. Distilling vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives that take us from the boardrooms of Procter & Gamble to the sidelines of the NFL to the front lines of the civil rights movement, Duhigg presents a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential.

If you could sum up The Power of Habit in three words, what would they be?
Practical, insightful, useful.
Have you listened to any of Mike Chamberlain’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. One should allow time to digest the information.
Any additional comments?
The book has many end of chapter notes that are not read in the audio book. They would make the audio book more complete.

Five thousand years out of the Labyrinth, the Minotaur finds himself in the American South, living in a trailer park and working as a line cook at a steakhouse. No longer a devourer of human flesh, the Minotaur is a socially inept, lonely creature with very human needs. But over a two-week period, as his life dissolves into chaos, this broken and alienated immortal awakens to the possibility for happiness and to the capacity for love.
