Historia
Like it or not, your every move is being watched and analyzed. Consumers' identities are being stolen, and a person's every step is being tracked and stored. What once might have been dismissed as paranoia is now a hard truth, and privacy is a luxury few can afford or understand. In this explosive yet practical book, Kevin Mitnick illustrates what is happening without your knowledge - and he teaches you "the art of invisibility".

Historia
>When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of "rogue" wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them. In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.

Historia
James A. Garfield may have been the most extraordinary man ever elected president. Born into abject poverty, he rose to become a wunderkind scholar, a Civil War hero, and a renowned and admired reformist congressman. Nominated for president against his will, he engaged in a fierce battle with the corrupt political establishment. But four months after his inauguration, a deranged office seeker tracked Garfield down and shot him in the back. But the shot didn’t kill Garfield. The drama of what happened subsequently is a powerful story of a nation in turmoil.

Cool account of Pres. Garfield / Bad narration
Revisado: 10-11-19
History on the events leading up to and surrounding Pres Garfield's assassination was interesting to learn about. It was a rather light story though, but so was his presidency (only six months in office) before he was assassinated.
The main irritation with this novel for me was the narrator taking on different voices to portray the various people in the storyline. Unfortunately, there were too many voices he needed to do, and he started recycling them. I began to cringe every time he would go into another voice/accent. Eventually i would fast-forward thru those parts.
It *very much* took away from the story; it did not add to it.
The history on this brief Presidency (about 20 years after the Civil War) was neat to learn about it and how he unified the nation. I also liked learning about other facets of life that were taking place in America during that time: i.e, Alexander Graham Bell's telephone discovery and the scientific discoveries surrounding sepsis.

Historia
General Stonewall Jackson was like no one anyone had ever seen. In April of 1862 he was merely another Confederate general with only a single battle credential in an army fighting in what seemed to be a losing cause. By middle June he had engineered perhaps the greatest military campaign in American history and was one of the most famous men in the Western World. He had given the Confederate cause what it had recently lacked: hope.

a phenomenal account of CSA Gen. TJ Jackson
Revisado: 09-27-19
Reads like an exciting historical novel.
Chapters alternate between the personality and morality of the man, and his battlefield accounts.
This Yankee book lover has gained a new understanding and sense of respect from listening to this book about this Confederate General. I carried this audio book with me while visiting battlefields and historical monuments in VA and MD and WVa, which really brought the war accounts alive for me, and helped portray a deeper perspective on the man TJ Jackson.
This is a must listen for any Civil War aficionado.

Historia
Hendrik Groen may be old, but he is far from dead and isn't planning to be buried any time soon. Granted, his daily strolls are getting shorter because his legs are no longer willing, and he has to visit his doctor more than he'd like. Technically speaking he is...elderly. But surely there is more to life at his age than weak tea and potted geraniums? Hendrik sets out to write an exposé: a year in the life of his care home in Amsterdam, revealing all its ups and downs.

Historia
Before men ruled the earth, there were wolves. Once abundant in North America, these majestic creatures were hunted to near extinction in the lower 48 states by the 1920s. But in recent decades, conservationists have brought wolves back to the Rockies, igniting a battle over the very soul of the West. With novelistic detail, Nate Blakeslee tells the gripping story of one of these wolves, O-Six, a charismatic alpha female named for the year of her birth.

great story for animal & nature lovers
Revisado: 08-10-19
excellent story telling. equal parts history/politics/environmental rights coupled with a great first hand account of all the actors involved in cataloguing and tracking the beloved Yellowstone wolf packs.
the story telling pulls you in quickly. it is a long tale, and at times some of the wolf numbers can get confusing, but on the whole it's a must listen for any animal enthusiast or Yellowstone nature lover!
great reading by the book reader. his voice is very soothing, like one you'd find in a nature documentary on TV.

Great practical & story filled book on Habits!
Revisado: 02-02-19
Great narration.
Easy chapters to follow.
My favorite part is the appendix. it's what brought it full circle and has helped me apply what I learned to uncovering my own habits.
I listen to this book twice it was that useful in my life to help rewire some old and outdated Habits.
Two thumbs up for this book!!
