Very simple plot line
Revisado: 02-02-25
It was ok, however there are no complex characters and the end oof each book is entirely predictable. The author should take some time for firearms training so his descriptions are at least accurate.

David L. Mearns has discovered some of the world's most fascinating and elusive shipwrecks. The Shipwreck Hunter chronicles his most intriguing finds. It describes the extraordinary techniques used, the detailed research, and mid-ocean stamina and courage required to find a wreck thousands of feet beneath the sea, plus the moving human stories that lie behind each of these oceanic tragedies. Combining the adventuring derring-do of Indiana Jones with the precision of a scientist, The Shipwreck Hunter opens an illuminating porthole into the shadowy depths of the ocean.

Too much background given
Revisado: 10-05-24
I did enjoy the story in general, however, there were long stretches of simply discussing background information that I personally found uninteresting.
The technical details of how the searches were made were interesting and the field in general is fascinating.

Historia
Every four years, Americans turn their attention to the world’s game - soccer. As recently as 1998, the USMNT merely made up the numbers at the biggest sporting tournament of all, but once Bruce Arena took over the team, American soccer started to find its footing. In the 2002 World Cup, a highly-fancied Portugal team, featuring the great Ronaldo, lost to Arena’s US team in a shocking 3-2 victory, and but for a handball that wasn’t given, they could well have knocked off eventual winners Germany.

Misleading Title but still a good read
Revisado: 05-07-24
In reality this book is a biography for Bruce. Only the last two chapters talk about changes he believes need to be made to US soccer to make us more competitive. The rest walks you through his early career as a lacrosse player and then coach.
It details how he got into coaching soccer and his description of his international experiences is very interesting. Having attended a few national coaching schools it’s no mystery to me why we are behind, the training is below standard and focuses too much on someone’s “one true way of coaching”.
Worth the read but the title is less than accurate.

Historia
Jonathan Haidt skillfully combines two genres-philosophical wisdom and scientific research-delighting the listener with surprising insights. He explains, for example, why we have such difficulty controlling ourselves and sticking to our plans; why no achievement brings lasting happiness, yet a few changes in your life can have profound effects, and why even confirmed atheists experience spiritual elevation.

Not truly fair minded

His bias is obvious. Interesting points but not worth the time or money. Even had he not declared his political allegiance it is obvious from his conclusions.

Historia
Destined to become a classic of adventure literature, The Last Season examines the extraordinary life of legendary backcountry ranger Randy Morgenson and his mysterious disappearance in California's unforgiving Sierra Nevada - mountains as perilous as they are beautiful. Eric Blehm's masterful work is a gripping detective story interwoven with the riveting biography of a complicated, original, and wholly fascinating man.

Interesting story
Revisado: 07-10-23
It was enjoyable to read about the back country and the rangers who watch over it. Regarding Randy it was interesting to read about his life though ultimately it is a story about a very selfish person doing only what he wanted regardless of others.

Historia
When Andy Ngo was attacked in the streets by antifa in the summer of 2019, most people assumed it was an isolated incident. But those who'd been following Ngo's reporting in outlets like the New York Post and Quillette knew that the attack was only the latest in a long line of crimes perpetrated by antifa.

They are real and they hate you
Revisado: 02-19-21
Andy has done the country a favor by exposing Antifa's behavior along with their focus. They are Marxist Anarchists and their goal is to bring down the US Government. Think French Revolution style (how'd that turn out). Antifa is highly organized, well funded, and are a scourge to our society; local, state, and federal governments must confront this group and stop allowing them to terrorize our cities.
If you are not a sympathizer then you are a Nazi and are fair game for whatever they want to do to you. They actually are our modern fascists.
A big thank you to Andy for shining the light on this organization.

Historia
Everywhere hailed as a masterpiece of historical adventure, this enthralling narrative recounts the experiences of 12 American sailors who were shipwrecked off the coast of Africa in 1815, captured by desert nomads, sold into slavery, and subjected to a hellish two-month journey through the bone-dry heart of the Sahara. The ordeal of these men - who found themselves tested by barbarism, murder, starvation, death, dehydration, and hostile tribes that roamed the desert on camelback - is made indelibly vivid in this gripping account of courage, brotherhood, and survival.

A fascinating book about culture and grit
Revisado: 01-08-21
The book started slowly with quite a lot of background on the various people. Once the ship was on its way it became more and more interesting. Absolutely the men's ability to survive their ordeal was remarkable, however, what was much more interesting was a look into the culture of the desert. Stealing was simply a part of life, expected. If something was taken from you well too bad. It was your fault for allowing someone to take it. Very interesting.
If you have read "Endurance - The Shackleton Expedition" this is similar except in a desert setting.
I highly recommend this book.

Historia
What is heroism? What are its moral components - altruism, love, self-sacrifice? Why was it once celebrated, and now often dismissed as anachronistic? In this dramatic and readable account of last stands in history - famous or otherwise - Walsh explores the stakes that led men at very different times and places to face overwhelming odds and certain death for the sake of family, home and country.

Time does not change our nature
Revisado: 12-31-20
With each Last Stand historic circumstance is described in detail for the reader so much so this book gives the reader an expansive view of history and not simply a blow by blow description of a particular battle. Mr Walsh pulls the common threads and places them in perspective. When all appears to be lost do you stand and fight or turn and run? The vast majority stand with their comrades to make their enemy pay as dearly as possible.
I highly recommend this book to anybody who studies human behavior and our basic nature over time.
