Exceptional
Revisado: 08-24-22
Bill has done the exceptional job at telling this story. He has shed light on the
underground life of being in professional sports, it's players and coaches.
He reads with such enthusiasm that keeps you interested from page to page
as we feel his pain and together pull for his recovery time and time again.
very good!

Historia
From NBA legend Bill Russell, Go Up for Glory is a basketball memoir that transcends time. First published in 1965, this narrative traces Russell's childhood in segregated America and details the challenges he faced as a Black man, even when he was a celebrated NBA star. And while some progress has been made, this book serves as an urgent reminder of how far we still have to go in the fight for human rights and equality.

He's more than a basketball player
Revisado: 04-07-22
I knew about Bill Russell and saw him play in hi later years.
Because of Wilt Chamberlain, my favorite big man before Lou Alcinder,
I didn't really focus on Russell.
This book is fabulous. I now know how valuable he was coming into the league. I now know how valuable he was/is to civil rights and the uplifting of black people in America. He is A Man!

Historia
Rachel Maddow has beaten the odds in a way that's novel in today's America: She uses her brain. In a world of banal and opinionated soundbites, she regularly crushes Sean Hannity's ratings thanks to her deeply researched reports. And in our highly polarized world, Maddow amiably engages the staunchest conservatives, while never hesitating to expose their light-on-facts defenses.

I understand her know
Revisado: 10-05-21
I like the authors assessment of Rachel because although I've listened to her
tv show, I was not aware of her story, and didn't even know she grew up in Castro Valley,
went to Stanford, or that she was even from California.
Mostly that she was such a confident, stubborn, go getter in her younger life.

It's about time
Revisado: 09-24-21
Senator Amy covers this subject beautifully and honestly presents the crucial essence of monopoly powers and our government
lack of control over "Big Business" . I feel we are too late in stopping these anticompetitive policies though.
we are doomed to suffer high prices for services as the so-called middle class fades into poverty and monopolist count their
money In the dungeons of Washington DC.

Historia
The Reckoning will examine America’s national trauma, rooted in our history but dramatically exacerbated by the impact of current events and the Trump administration’s corrupt and immoral policies. Our failure to acknowledge this trauma, let alone root it out, has allowed it to metastasize. Whether it manifests itself in rising levels of rage and hatred, or hopelessness and apathy, the stress of living in a country we no longer recognize has affected all of us. America is suffering from PTSD - a new leader alone cannot fix us.

Final call
Revisado: 08-29-21
This book has given me a bit more faith in the possibility that America is saveable.
Mary Trump has combined the works of so many other writers on the subject of "white supremacy",
" race" religion, Justice, mental health, and true freedom & democracy.
I've just finished the Audible version and now will order the physical book to re-read and
put on my shelf for future reference.
Well done Mary Trump, I now understand your Uncle's behavior better and his followers, however,
I still won't trust them moving forward in my own life seeking justice & repairing of the
beautiful African people of diaspora.

enjoyed the content
Revisado: 06-17-19
so this books information is very good and informative. I didn't really care for the readers speaking style of delivery of the stories because he sounds mechanical and motionless. I couldn't feel the connection between the storyteller and the stories.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Historia
Al Franken, Giant of the Senate is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it.

Revisado: 07-05-17
I learned a lot Al Franken's political ambition and how it all started. He writes with humor and a nice blend of seriousness that come across genuinely. I like the book very much but my only criticism is that his voice kinda bother me at times. I think it would have been a 5 star rating if done by someone with a better voice. But, well wrote an interesting life, so far.
