This famous treatise began as a letter to a young French friend who asked Edmund Burke’s opinion on whether France’s new ruling class would succeed in creating a better order. Doubtless the friend expected a favorable reply, but Burke was suspicious of certain tendencies of the Revolution from the start and perceived that the revolutionaries were actually subverting the true "social order". Blending history with principle and graceful imagery with profound practical maxims, this book is one of the most influential political treatises in the history of the world.

Fascinating response to French Revolution, frol philosophical to economics. A little heavy in French and Latin at some parts, along with economic data from the day, but otherwise accessible.

good, but too much plugging
Revisado: 07-02-19
I learned a lot from this book and enjoyed it. However, I felt that there was excessive plugging of their program and other books alongside those products/services offered by friends and colleagues. This could have been condensed to about half its length. the rest was good, and the miracle morning certainly has value. just trying to upsell so much.

The life of John Marshall, founding father and America's premier chief justice. In 1801, a genial and brilliant Revolutionary War veteran and politician became the fourth chief justice of the US. He would hold the post for 34 years (still a record), expounding the Constitution he loved. Before he joined the Court, it was the weakling of the federal government, lacking in dignity and clout. After he died, it could never be ignored again.

good summary of Agile, need new narrator
Revisado: 02-11-19
good explanation ornsummarization of Agile, covered the most important points of you are new to Agile or going for certs, worth it. Had trouble with the narrator, whose diction constantly shifted. I feel like he is a decent narrator but didn't prepare for this.

McCullough's John Adams has the sweep and vitality of a great novel. This is history on a grand scale, an audiobook about politics, war, and social issues, but also about human nature, love, religious faith, virtue, ambition, friendship, and betrayal, and the far-reaching consequences of noble ideas. Above all, it is an enthralling, often surprising story of one of the most important and fascinating Americans who ever lived.

This work was really fascinating, offering insight into the crucial figure from our history. I never utilized the Bookmarks and Notes feature until this book. Great narrator. I wish our educational system would make works like this required reading.

Calvin Coolidge, president from 1923 to 1929, never rated highly in polls, and history has remembered the decade in which he served as an extravagant period predating the Great Depression. Now Amity Shlaes provides a fresh look at the 1920s and its elusive president, showing that the mid-1920s was in fact a triumphant period that established our modern way of life: The nation electrified, Americans drove their first cars, and the federal deficit was replaced with a surplus.

didn't know much about this president - hardly anything, actually - and this was an interesting insight in one of our humblest and most principled leaders.

This biography by Edmund Morris, the Pulitzer Prize - and National Book Award - winning author of The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex, marks the completion of a trilogy sure to stand as definitive. Of all our great presidents, Theodore Roosevelt is the only one whose greatness increased out of office. What other president has written 40 books, hunted lions, founded a third political party, survived an assassin’s bullet, and explored an unknown river longer than the Rhine?
