The early summer of 1914 was the most glorious Europeans could remember. But, behind the scenes, the most destructive war the world had yet known was moving inexorably into being, a war that would continue to resonate into the 21st century. The question of how the Great War of 1914 began has long vexed historians. In a gripping narrative, Fromkin shows that hostilities were started deliberately and that two wars were waged, one serving as pretext for the other.

The real story of how WW I started and who wanted the war. All the nasty rivalries, scheming and how the finally managed to get the war. Spoiler: It took a lot of work to make the war happen.

Golan Trevize, former councilman of the First Foundation, has chosen the future, and it is Gaia. A superorganism, Gaia is a holistic planet with a common consciousness so intensely united that every dewdrop, every pebble, every being, can speak for all - and feel for all. It is a realm in which privacy is not only undesirable, it is incomprehensible. But is it the right choice for the destiny of mankind? While Trevize feels it is, that is not enough. He must know.

I'm a die hard fan of Asimov and the foundation series but this on is a stinker. A new and very dull speaker drags the story down and the story is longwinded and dull even before the speaker.

Narrator on valium
Revisado: 01-29-20
I've listened to the first edition a dozen times but this one is just killing me. The choice of narrator is just terrible.
The narrator on the first edition were really great and energising. Just perfect for startup power.
This guy is better suited for an academic treatise. He doesn't exactly fire you up to 'do more faster'.

A report on how the greed of a privileged few, subsidized by public funding, creates substantial profits for themselves from mass human suffering.This was a speech given by General Butler during a nationwide tour in the early 1930's, but it applies even more today! Listen as he frankly discusses, from his experience as a career military officer, how business interests commercially benefit from warfare. He then suggests several practical solutions for reducing the pillage.

The American public's introduction to nuclear technology was manifested in destruction and death. With Hiroshima and the Cold War still ringing in our ears, our perception of all things nuclear is seen through the lens of weapons development. Nuclear power is full of mind-bending theories, deep secrets, and the misdirection of public consciousness - some deliberate, some accidental. The result of this fixation on bombs and fallout is that the development of a non-polluting, renewable energy source stands frozen in time.

Awesome perspective on nuclear history
Revisado: 10-13-16
This book makes the story of nuclear science and engineering so cool that I too could imagine myself standing over a naked core and daring it to go critical. One of my favorite books.

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

A baseball epic
Revisado: 08-12-14
Where does Ball Four rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This book is all the way up there among the very best. A bit too much stuff have been added to the original story. Some good, some bad and some long winded.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The death of his daughter. Hearing a father break down, as he reads it, over the loss of a child is just too much to handle. I couldn't continue the book after that. It's just too hard.
Any additional comments?
An absolutely brilliant book even to this European who's never thrown nor catched a single baseball.

People starting out in business tend to seek step-by-step formulas or rules, but in reality there are no magic bullets. Rather, says veteran company-builder Norm Brodsky, there's a mentality that helps street- smart entrepreneurs solve problems and pursue opportunities as they arise. Brodsky shares his hard-earned wisdom every month in Inc. magazine, in the hugely popular "Street Smarts" column he cowrites with Bo Burlingham. Now they've adapted their best advice into a comprehensive guide for anyone running a small business.

Absolutely essential for any entrepreneur
Revisado: 07-18-14
What made the experience of listening to Street Smarts the most enjoyable?
The sheer amount of knowledge, insight and experience is just amazing. At the same time it's all delivered in an easy conversational style and explained so well that it all seems obvious. Trust me it's not obvious. The book's just that good at explaining things.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Street Smarts?
Too many to mention. Lots of personal mistakes, lessons, corrections and eventual successes. "Here's how I blew up a 30M$ company due to a passion for risk taking"
What does Sean Pratt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Channels the author perfectly. It all comes across as if the narrator actually experienced this stuff.
Any additional comments?
Essential for entrepreneurs. Just get it. Best book I've heard/read in years.

You always knew digital was going to change things, but you didn’t realize how close to home it would hit. In every industry, digital competitors are taking advantage of new platforms, tools, and relationships to undercut rivals, get closer to customers, and disrupt the usual ways of doing business. The only way to compete is to evolve. James McQuivey of Forrester Research has been teaching people how to do this for more than a decade. He’s gone into the biggest companies, even in traditional industries like insurance and consumer packaged goods, and changed the way they think about innovation.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
Much much shorter. The message of the book can be articulated in one or two sentences. The rest is filler.

What disappointed you about Entrepreneur Revolution?
A classic work from a successful marketing professional. Shallow, self congratulatory and filled with fluff.
