Historia
As a string of high-profile jewel thefts went unsolved during the Swinging Sixties, the press dubbed the elusive thief the King of Diamonds. Like Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief, the King was so bold that he tip-toed into the homes of millionaires while they were home, hiding in their closets and daring to smoke while they were sleeping. Rena Pederson, then a young reporter with UPI, started following the elusive thief while she managed the night desk. With gymnastic skill, he climbed trees and crawled across rooftops to take jewels from heiresses, oil kings, corporate CEOs.

Historia
Part memoir, part history, Burn Book is a necessary chronicle of tech’s most powerful players. This is the inside story we’ve all been waiting for about modern Silicon Valley and the biggest boom in wealth creation in the history of the world. When tech titans crowed that they would “move fast and break things,” Kara Swisher was moving faster and breaking news. While covering the explosion of the digital sector in the early 1990s, she developed a long track record of digging up and reporting the facts about this new world order.

One CHAP ON MUSK THE ASSHOLE - MUCH MORE SUCCINT & Revealing than MOST RECENT recent BIO ‼️
Also HOW MOST are so driven by profits they are at start or willfully so later LACKING IN PREDICTIN UNANTIPATED CONSEQUENCE OR MID COURSE CORRECTIONS FOR HARMS — or lacking social justice or going off rails Meglomaniacs -
Also fair to GOOD GUYS JOBS & GUVING WEALTH AWAY GATES’ AFTER THEY MAKE BILLIONS - ‘BEZOS U GOT SOME CATCING UP TO DO’ —You MONOPLY U’
Like the Gilded Age BARONS— a good SANE PREZ & Sane Congress (?maybe asking to much unless Mrs Jobs Friend is winner) WILL LEGISLATE TO REIGN INN — Ma Bell 🔔 path & European policies may win out in USA. We could ALL WIN THEN — maybe if still around ?

Historia
Titus Crown is the first Black sheriff in the history of Charon County, Virginia. In recent decades, quiet Charon has had only two murders. But after years of working as an FBI agent, Titus knows better than anyone that while his hometown might seem like a land of moonshine, cornbread, and honeysuckle, secrets always fester under the surface. Then a year to the day after Titus’s election, a school teacher is killed by a former student and the student is fatally shot by Titus’s deputies. As Titus investigates the shootings, he unearths terrible crimes.

Historia
Byzantium is too-often considered merely the "eastern rump" of the old Roman Empire, a curious and even unsettling mix of the classical and medieval. Yet it was, according to Professor Harl, "without a doubt the greatest state in Christendom through much of the Middle Ages," and well worth our attention as a way to widen our perspective on everything from the decline of imperial Rome to the rise of the Renaissance.

Great Review & Entertaining HISTORY
Revisado: 02-03-23
I read / listened to a number of books relevant to 2 trips to Turkey or as ERDOGON PC NOW PREFERS “Turku’. I’m now prepared for John Norcross’s 3 VOLUMN history of Byzantium ‼️
Sadly Erdogon has covered MUCH of Byzantine ART/ Frescos WITHIN ST SOPHIA after HE converted it to active Mosgue across from BLUE MOSQUE. There R enuf Mosques in Istanbul that failure to maintain St Sophia’s as MUSEUM & for admirers of Byzantinian Art & historic value to Christians ‘offends me.” But I LOVE TURKEY & all the people of Turkey who remain gracious & welcoming to Westerers & LOTS OF IRISH & Norwegian transplants.
Highly RECOMMEND Prof Harls History of Bazantium — READ THIS BEFORE U VISIT TURKEY‼️

Historia
Little more than 10 years after the first powered flight, aircraft were pressed into service in World War I. Nearly forgotten in the war's massive overall death toll, some 50,000 aircrew would die in the combatant nations' fledgling air forces. The romance of aviation had a remarkable grip on the public imagination, propaganda focusing on gallant air "aces" who become national heroes. The reality was horribly different. Marked for Death debunks popular myth to explore the brutal truths of wartime aviation.

Historia
Woodward, the number-one international bestselling author of Fear: Trump in the White House, has uncovered the precise moment the president was warned that the Covid-19 epidemic would be the biggest national security threat to his presidency. In dramatic detail, Woodward takes readers into the Oval Office as Trump’s head pops up when he is told in January 2020 that the pandemic could reach the scale of the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed 675,000 Americans.

RAGINGLY Accurate DOCUMENTATION of Trump Travesties
Revisado: 10-11-20
Crucial reading with less than 30 days to voting. Less if in state with early voting. Have read ALL of Woodward’s books. Because I was at Walter Reed HOSP i heard ALL Watergate testimony to impeach Nixon. Thought it would NEVER REPEAT in the future. Woodward (& Bernstein) EARNED my respect than & with every book on Presidents since. BUT IMPEACHMENT DID HAPPEN AGAIN! Rage adds MORE JUSTIFICATION for IMPEACHMENT than Mueller Report & House Impeachment hearings.
I wonder what current Republicans reflect upon IF & WHEN they read RAGE? Will they take RESPONSIBILITY for enabling Trump to mismanage COVID thru denial & incompetence? Will the American people? Will the American People hold Trump & the Republican Party of his last 4yrs ACCOUNTABLE??? ——. For the sake of our country’s well being - I HOPE TO GOD THEY DO!

Stephen Colbert is far more than a comedian and improv genius. As head of his fanciful Colbert Nation, the quick-witted host of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and former host of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report has delighted fans with his wit, audacity, and innovative uses of language and the media.

Excellent Brief Bio of Colbert-even tho dated now
Revisado: 09-19-20
I appreciated the attention given to his growing up from age 9 after tragic family loss. Interesting HS years & not experiencing more nurture for his talents. Somehow that brilliant mind got developed at Hampton Sydney ON HIS OWN time but he must have absorbed more. Early career years and sense of responsibility. A Southern gentleman who's maintained his humanity & nurtured his political awareness. Yes appreciate his humor continually, but readers will appreciate this TRUE SON OF The SOUTH even more as a MAN, husband and father more.

Mary's Book a PROFILE IN COURAGE
Revisado: 07-23-20
Well written book by PHD psychologist from reputable program. Her psychologist training would have subjected her to utilize much MORE REFLECTION about Family of Origin patterns & personal reflections about herself & such family impacts - MORE than … say training in political science, law, business or engineering. Which I think provides MARY ADDED CREDIBILITY for her observations & pattern detections on the main 'subject' of the book. I also sense their is EMPATHY for her family & personal PAIN .. .and yes JUSTIFIABLE ANGER that accompanies her family observations & reflections. Given this families & main subjects past & current history for 'exacting revenge' by policy, twitter, rumor & MISUSE of POWER, I see MARY as exercising real COURAGE to "out" her family members illegal, immoral & destructive behavior in the INSIGHTFUL manner she did in the book. It helps that she had a degree in LIT which makes for succinct writing style & has a PLEASANT & steady narrative voice. IT's good she read her own book on Audible. IT PROVIDES EVEN MORE VALIDATION. NOW, let's hope MARY remains SAFE given the history of her 'uncle'. IF Mary's NOT frightened, I KNOW I AM !!! MORE THAN BEFORE !!! I highly recommend this book as CUT WAY Above others on this topic. Plus it has LOTS MORE INSIDER CREDIBILITY !!!
