As one of the few black students in his philosophy program at Columbia University years ago, Coleman Hughes wondered why his peers seemed more pessimistic about the state of American race relations than his own grandparents–who lived through segregation. The End of Race Politics is the culmination of his years-long search for an answer.

Great book
Revisado: 03-14-24
This is a well thought and reasoned book that is a breath of fresh air from the usual polarizimg hyperbole that is often utilized when discussing a topic such as race.

A masterful account of today's money culture, showing how the underpricing of risk leads to catastrophe. With his trademark humor and brilliant anecdotes, Michael Lewis paints the mood and market factors leading up to each event, weaves contemporary accounts to show what people thought was happening at the time, and then, with the luxury of hindsight, analyzes what actually happened and what we should have learned from experience.

This is not a real book!
Revisado: 03-15-22
Do not buy, this is a horrible book not even a real book just a compelation of old news articles about financial crashes. Its misleading because I thought it was a book by Michael Lewis, but it's not, he just helped compile the articles.

Is the world really falling apart? Is the ideal of progress obsolete? In this elegant assessment of the human condition in the third millennium, cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, which play to our psychological biases. Instead, follow the data: Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise, not just in the West but worldwide.

Ever since the dawn of civilization, we have been driven by a desire to know - to understand the physical world and the laws of nature. But are there limits to human knowledge? Are some things simply beyond the predictive powers of science? Or are those challenges the next big discovery waiting to happen?

Narration Was Awful!
Revisado: 02-12-18
What would have made The Great Unknown better?
Marcus du Sautoy narrates his own books and his voice was awful. He has an extremely nasally voice. It was the opposite of calm and soothing like an audio book is supposed to be. I could not pay attention to the story. I stopped listening after one chapter, because his voice was so bad. It sucks because it sounded like an interesting topic.
Moral of the story- DO NOT NARRATE YOUR OWN BOOKS! Pay a professional to do it.
If you’ve listened to books by Marcus du Sautoy before, how does this one compare?
I have not listened to previous books by this author
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Marcus du Sautoy?
Anybody but the author.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Great Unknown?
I would cut Marcus du Sautoy from doing the narration

One out of three women alive today, and one out of two men, will face a cancer diagnosis, according to the World Health Organization. Ty Bollinger takes this personally: in the course of a decade, he says, "I lost my entire family to cancer. I don't believe I had to lose them." The Truth about Cancer has been written for one simple reason: to share the knowledge we need to protect ourselves, treat ourselves, and in some cases save our lives or the lives of those we love.

Quacky Theories
Revisado: 02-12-18
What disappointed you about The Truth About Cancer?
The author eschews any modern medical treatment for cancer. For instance, he advises patients to forgo chemotherapy. These recommendations are dangerous. I agree that often doctors ignore more natural, less invasive treatment, such as a better diet and life-style, but it is absurd to claim this is all that is needed to treat cancer.
Would you ever listen to anything by Ty M. Bollinger again?
No.
Would you be willing to try another one of John Glouchevich’s performances?
No.
