In depth, evaluative, and fascinating
Revisado: 11-27-13
Probably one of the most interesting books I've read, a great book if you are interested in history, business, capitalism, or entrepreneurship, and perfect if you are interested in more than one of those. Full of interesting facts as well as captivating narratives. I give 3 stars only for performance though, because it is read so fast, I listened to most of it at half speed using the Audible mobile app, which was a little too slow.

Decent to augment A+ studying with
Revisado: 10-03-13
The longer of the A+ books here, and a little outdated, it is certainly not enough to use solely to study with, but to augment your A+ studying when you can listen while doing some other monotonous task, it might be worth it. The author reads very fast, so I slowed it down to 1/2 speed.

After the economic meltdown of 2008, Warren Buffett famously warned, "beware of geeks bearing formulas." But as James Weatherall demonstrates, not all geeks are created equal. While many of the mathematicians and software engineers on Wall Street failed when their abstractions turned ugly in practice, a special breed of physicists has a much deeper history of revolutionizing finance.

Fascinating and intelligent book
Revisado: 07-25-13
The author clearly and enjoyably relates the history of how science and mathematics became applied to finance, highly enjoyable if you have a little bit of popular science background, it serves as a gentle introduction to many statistical and mathematical relationships as well.

Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 9
The motorcycle was invented in 1885 when two visionary Germans decided to attach a small internal combustion engine to a bicycle. From that humble origin begins a remarkable story of technological innovation, record-setting, and the formation of a whole new subculture of society. People began racing motorcycles not long after their introduction. In grueling endurance races, an American company named Harley-Davidson rode to the front of the pack with a thunderous roar.

An enjoyable but slightly superficial overview
Revisado: 05-30-13
A decent narrative history woven together of the history of motorcycles, including significant foreign events as well. A little cheezy at times, but a light hearted, fair, and enjoyable telling.

From its first moments, Hunter takes you on a nonstop thrill ride: from the top floor of the CIA, to the marbled corridors of Capitol Hill...from the posh hotels of downtown Washington, to the city's mean, violent streets. It introduces a colorful new hero for our time - and a dazzling heroine every bit his equal. A spy mystery...a crime thriller...a passionate romance: Hunter is a genre-bending novel unlike any you've read. Deviously plotted, filled with vivid characters, and propelled at a breakneck pace.

A great philosophical action romance...
Revisado: 10-02-12
What made the experience of listening to Hunter the most enjoyable?
Robert Bidinotto's "Hunter: A Thriller" is expertly crafted; integrating conflict, drama, and philosophy in a captivating story. The authors extensive background in criminal justice journalism adds intense realism and authenticity to the story. This story embodies the best of good story telling as one of an incredibly rare breed of philosophical action romances that idealizes positive rational themes. As one of these and Hunter stands, to use a metaphor from Robert's story, at Olympian heights. Thank you Robert for crafting such an excellent story, I eagerly await more Dylan Hunter stories.
Which character – as performed by Conor Hall – was your favorite?
Conor does a great job in the Audio rendition of this book, seamlessly transitioning from one characther to another and reading with sincerity and enthusiasm.
