Historia
The gun control debate is revived with every mass shooting. But far more people die from gun deaths on the street corners of inner city America and across the border as Mexico’s powerful cartels battle to control the drug trade. Guns and drugs aren’t often connected in our heated discussions of gun control - but they should be. In Ioan Grillo’s groundbreaking new work of investigative journalism, he shows us this connection by following the market for guns in the Americas and how it has made the continent the most murderous on earth.

Historia
Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of carrying only opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - what percentage of the world's population live in poverty; why the world's population is increasing; how many girls finish school - we systematically get the answers wrong. In Factfulness, professor of international health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two longtime collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens.

As he said, it needs update
Revisado: 09-07-21
None of the data probably applies after Trupism, COVID19 and right extremist raising again. The pademic specially has shown how FRAGILE that "progress" that he puts this book thesis is on. He forgets that if it is not sutained and strog progress, it shouldn't count. I think he even makes an analogy of a house with good and bad foundation. Silly of him not to reflect.
He mocks about the "missidea" of Europeans considering the US very conservative, hmm, Trump?
He talks about a "global pandemic" as something that at the time he wrote this, improbable. I guess COVID19 is ROFL at him
Cinical from his part to view many times SME's with suspicious or even suggest people to do that considering that in his book, he puts himself in a position of "expert in Facttulness", therefore, is he also full of it? Is this book full of sh**? I don't think so. However he lose a lot of credibility and his book
So, it doesn't matter how much someone that was BORN WHITE on a LV1 country travel or have annecdotes or interactios with that world, that LV1 person would NEVER understand a minority on a LV3 or LV4, therefore it is even a little insulting to praise from a LV1 born white perspective that "things are not that bad", well, sorry
I think is insulting to say "so much progress has been made" when it has cost lives of people like Harvey Milk or Marsha P. Jonson, just to give one topic example of people that literally died because they fought for that progress. This is the "look from up" that he even criticize
Although his intentions are good, this book is golden ammo to someone that is in LV4/3 country, was born in middle(as he states majority of pop)/upper income and has right extreme conservatives ideas (inside its mind or in public). If your are a US FoxNews watcher or Trumper, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK!! (I hope the author realize that this is not a compliment)
Even if all my points are still debatable or even easily turned down, I'm just following his advice

Historia
Busy Philipps’ autobiographical audiobook offers the same unfiltered and candid storytelling that her Instagram followers have come to know and love, from growing up in Scottsdale, Arizona, and her painful and painfully funny teen years to her life as a working actress, mother, and famous best friend. Busy is the rare entertainer whose impressive arsenal of talents as an actress is equally matched by her storytelling ability, sense of humor, and sharp observations about life, love, and motherhood. Her conversational writing reminds us what we love about her on screens of all sizes.

Incredible stories, worth to listen
Revisado: 08-13-21
She is just great. Her life stories are incredible relatable and it is hard to hear all the difficulties she had go through, even probably most of people thinks that his life has been so easy. At the end, she is right, it should be only "me and my friends"

De no ser nuestros orígenes prehispánicos, las conclusiones alcanzadas por el autor fácilmente aplican a México. Debemos ambos pueblos reflexionar sobre lo planteado en este libro y corregir incluso ideas que el mismo autor tiene equivocadamente

Increíble valentía de esta novela, la cual queda casi claro a quien se refiere. Me consta que el HDP es un miserable y sus directivos una bola de esclavizadores. Ansió el día que hagan pagar a este HDP y a sus mirreyes.
