Why is Miami… Miami? What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell returns to the subject of social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena. Through a series of gripping stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new and troubling form of social engineering

Did not disappoint
Revisado: 10-24-24
Malcom Gladwell delivered another thought provoking dissertation on human behavior. In addition to being educational, his research was eye opening. I didn't think that I would enjoy the topics but as always, I was sucked into his web of curiosity about things I had not thought that I cared about, yet clearly do.

In the near future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, shortly afterward, told what project she’ll be working on. A recently established government ministry is gathering “expats” from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible—for the body, but also for the fabric of space-time.

Bahni Turpin is one of the great narrators and she didn't disappoint in this narrative. I saw the movie years ago,and now I understand it. I watched the movie twice more times while listening to the book. The stories were exceptional.

A best-selling journalist’s illuminating tour through the hidden legacies and modern realities of British empire that exposes how much of the present-day United Kingdom is actually rooted in its colonial past. Empireland boldly and lucidly makes the case that in order to understand America, we must first understand British imperialism. Empire—whether British or otherwise—informs nearly everything we do.

Extremely fascinating glimpse into Iranian immigrant life
Revisado: 01-30-23
The author has written a fascinating account of immigrant Iranians in the nineties. She has included just enough history for the reader to immerse oneself and understand the limitations of the characters. I was disappointed with the ending as I didn't feel as though anything had been resolved. The narrator was excellent and really presented the story well.

Set in the London of the 1660s and of the early 21st century, The Weight of Ink is the interwoven tale of two women of remarkable intellect: Ester Velasquez, an emigrant from Amsterdam who is permitted to scribe for a blind rabbi, just before the plague hits the city, and Helen Watt, an ailing historian with a love of Jewish history. As the novel opens, Helen has been summoned by a former student to view a cache of 17th-century Jewish documents newly discovered in his home during a renovation.

I enjoy learning about Jewish history in the context of fiction. I learned a lot from this book. The story was beautifully written about strong women (not all Jewish). A few surprises in the storyline make it more enjoyable. The narrator was very good.

When recently widowed Maggie McElroy is called to China to settle a claim against her late husbands estate, she is blindsided by the discovery that he may have led a double life. Since work is all that will keep her sane, her magazine editor assigns her to profile Sam, a half-Chinese American who is the last in a line of gifted chefs tracing back to the imperial palace. As she watches Sam gear up for Chinas Olympic culinary competition by planning the banquet of a lifetime, she begins to see past the cuisines artistry to glimpse its coherent expression of Chinese civilization.

Don’t read when hungry!
Revisado: 07-28-21
This is a wonderful story of relationships set in modern day and old China. The author sumptuously describes Chinese meals such that I longed to be (back) in China, because I know I can’t get such wonderful food here in the south ( although possibly in east coast or west coast Chinatowns). The story is well read written.

A vivid memoir of food and family, survival and triumph, Love, Loss, and What We Ate traces the arc of Padma Lakshmi's unlikely path from an immigrant childhood to a complicated life in front of the camera - a tantalizing blend of Ruth Reichl's Tender at the Bone and Nora Ephron's Heartburn.

Revisado: 07-20-20
Padma Lakshmi’ story is beautiful told by the author, a beautiful soul inside and out. She bravely shares her life experiences, scars an all and provides a story of love, forgiveness and redemption. The food in her life is an added bonus. I didn’t want her story to end.
