Xenophon was a friend of Socrates, and yet his concise memories of the iconic philosopher have lived under the shadow of the more voluminous accounts by Plato. Yet Xenophon’s two works are, in many ways, more entertaining and more accessible, and they present a different view of the man who embodies a clear mind, temperate, ethical living, sharp intellect and humour.

I could listen to Mr. Rintool read a cereal box. I have always liked Xenophon. That being said, in many of his depictions of Socrates make him come off as sharp tongued douchebag. I don’t want to think about Socrates in that way.

Dive into the tumultuous world of ancient Greece with Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, a masterpiece that stands as one of the earliest and most influential works in historical writing. Thucydides, an Athenian general turned historian, presents a riveting account of the epic conflict between the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta, and the Delian League, led by Athens, offering unprecedented insights into the complexities of war, power, and human nature.

I love the book…minor irritant
Revisado: 11-08-24
I always download the latest translation of this book. I am thrilled that a female narrator performed in this version. This book is usually read with a deep British and I wish more female narrators will be heard to broaden the work’s horizon.
One minor irritant: the narrator mispronounces many terms. I don’t know if this was intended to be colloquial english. Drove me nuts.

Lieutenant Sam Bitka, US Naval Reserve, is getting used to civilian life when he is called back to active duty. Tensions between Earth and the alien Varoki are on the rise, and Sam is assigned as tactical officer aboard the deep space destroyer USS Puebla. Dispatched to the distant world of K'tok to protect human colonists, he wants nothing more than to serve out his active duty time and get back to his civilian life. But when the Varoki launch a crippling surprise attack against the Earth coalition fleet, Sam finds himself suddenly in command of the USS Puebla.

Storytelling and the interactions between the characters. Sam was very likable as were the Limeys.

Artificial intelligence powers Google's search engine, enables Facebook to target advertising, and allows Alexa and Siri to do their jobs. AI is also behind self-driving cars, predictive policing, and autonomous weapons that can kill without human intervention. These and other AI applications raise complex ethical issues that are the subject of ongoing debate. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible synthesis of these issues.

A great ai primer
Revisado: 01-07-23
This book explains why our silly country fears artificial intelligence (hint-idiots and fear mongers make a ton of loot from the willfully ignorant). I hope that as more information comes out that these tired,rich, and impotent purveyors of fear crawl back into the holes they crawled out of. The world, ai, and our world will be better when they are gone. I think ai is amazingly useful now and will only get better if people stop being willing bigots.

Revisado: 08-28-15
What disappointed you about Girl-on-Girl Goodness?
This review is not about beating up on the narrator. They do well with the content but I just don't get turned on by squeaky voices. I have a few high pitched loves in my life and if anything I want to get away from them once in awhile.
Would you be willing to try another book from the authors? Why or why not?
Nope. I discovered that watching is imminently more enjoyable than listening.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
As indicated.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Some of it was not corny...and that is saying a lot in this genre...baby stepping...baby stepping...
Any additional comments?
One of these days I will get the learnin I deserve.
