History is always written from the perspective of the ruling or rising elite at the time of writing. Concepts like The Stone Age, The Bronze Age, et cetera, were of course unknown during those periods that used to be called the stone age and the bronze age. They were invented during the 19th century to make sense of a development that seemed to reach its climax with industrialisation and the modern factory.

Some interesting viewpoints, but at times so convoluted and up its own arse the authors fail to deliver their message. Not particularly reader friendly, quite like some of the french philosophers they draw inspiration from.

It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces listeners to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind.

Tolle is something of a genius but this is unlistenable. Choose a different one than this.

An eye-opening report from an award-winning author and former New York Times reporter reveals the link between teenage marijuana use and mental illness, and a hidden epidemic of violence caused by the drug - facts the media has ignored as the US rushes to legalize cannabis.

The counterbalance we need
Revisado: 02-16-19
After all the pro-pot talk we've been showered with so far this century, Alex Berenson is a breath of fresh air. His presentation is clear and intelligent, and isn't lacking truth as Dr. Hart proposed in the Joe Rogan podcast #1246; this book is the counterweight this generation needs after watching too many medical marijuana documentaries.

From electric lights to automobiles to the appliances that make our lives easier at work and at home, we owe so much of our world to the Industrial Revolution. In this course, The Great Courses partners with the Smithsonian - one of the world's most storied and exceptional educational institutions - to examine the extraordinary events of this period and uncover the far-reaching impact of this incredible revolution.

Patrick Allitt doesn't disappoint!
Revisado: 02-10-15
What made the experience of listening to The Industrial Revolution the most enjoyable?
The focus on individuals is great, and something you can find throughout Patrick Allitts Great Courses recordings.
What did you like best about this story?
Learning about Isambard Kingdom Brunel. A fantastic engineer with great stories centered around him.
What does Professor Patrick N. Allitt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He has a very pleasant and classroom-like way of speaking, something I very much enjoy. It's sometimes obvious that he reads from a script, but most of the time it's just like being told the story straight from the experts mind, and that adds a layer of social interaction-feel to the learning experience that is essential for taking in what you're taught.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, it's best to split it up in 30 to 90 minute sessions to get the best out of the material. You need time to reflect upon what you've learned and connect it to what you already know.
Any additional comments?
I find Patrick Allitts courses to be very easy to follow. He often focuses on one individual at a time and this approach is really enjoyable.
