Historia4 out of 5 stars 433
A servant girl escapes from a colonial settlement in the wilderness. She carries nothing with her but her wits, a few possessions, and the spark of god that burns hot within her. What she finds in this terra incognita is beyond the limits of her imagination and will bend her belief in everything that her own civilization has taught her.

So glad it’s over!

What a depressing depraved book. It just went on and on – I couldn’t wait until it was over.

The Drive follows Teresa Bruce on her 2003 road trip through Mexico and onto the Pan-American Highway, in a rickety camper with her old dog and new husband in tow. Bruce first set off on the exact same route in 1973, her parents at the helm and their two young daughters in tow, as a reaction to the accidental death of their youngest child, Bruce's brother John John. Bruce is immensely talented in bringing scenery of Central and South America to life with her innate attention to detail and sense of storytelling.

Insane trip putting people in danger.
Revisado: 10-04-24
It was a tedious book starting with the parents who made the 1974 trip endangering their two daughters after their Young son had been killed. In suspicious circumstances. Disappointing!

In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump and many around him, including certain other elected Republican officials, intentionally breached their oath to the Constitution: they ignored the rulings of dozens of courts, plotted to overturn a lawful election, and provoked a violent attack on our Capitol.

Creating clarity about a chaotic time. A must read.
Revisado: 12-08-23
Cheney provides a chronology of the events surrounding January 6,2021. Her personal knowledge of the duplicity of Kevin McCarthy is a major contribution. Her warnings about the threat of Donald Trump to our democracy cannot be ignored.

At a time when the very foundations of American democracy seem under threat, the lessons of the past offer a road map for navigating a moment of political crisis. In Democracy Awakening, acclaimed historian Heather Cox Richardson delves into the tumultuous journey of American democracy, tracing the roots of Donald Trump’s “authoritarian experiment” to the earliest days of the republic.

No subject is bigger than reality itself, and nothing is more challenging to understand, since what counts as reality is undergoing continual revision and has been for centuries. The quest to pin down what's real and what's illusory is both philosophical and scientific, a metaphysical search for ultimate reality that goes back to the ancient Greeks. For the last 400 years, this search has been increasingly guided by scientists, who create theories and test them in order to define and redefine reality.

The Best
Revisado: 08-18-15
Where does Redefining Reality rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This lecture series is one of the best I have ever listened to - and I have listened to many of the Great Courses offerings.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Professor Gimbel has the amazing ability to combine extremely complex ideas with examples from movies, books, and paintings.
What does Professor Steven Gimbel bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His witty comments bring chuckles to relieve the tension of trying to comprehend challenging ideas.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Thirty-six lectures have to be savored over time and not rushed.
Any additional comments?
I hope Professor Gimbel will soon have more lecture series for fans of the Great Courses.
