In the fall of 1959, Harvard recruited 18 "Negro" boys as an early form of affirmative action. Four years later they would graduate as African Americans. Some 50 years later, one of these trailblazing Harvard grads, Kent Garrett, began to reconnect with his classmates and explore their vastly different backgrounds, lives, and what their time at Harvard meant.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 412
From a renowned behavioral neuroscientist and recovering addict, a rare pause-resisting work of science that draws on personal insights to reveal how drugs work, the dangerous hold they can take on the brain, and the surprising way to combat today's epidemic of addiction. Judith Grisel was a daily drug user and college dropout when she began to consider that her addiction might have a cure, one that she herself could perhaps discover by studying the brain. Now, after 25 years as a neuroscientist, she shares what she and other scientists have learned about addiction.

Very worthwhile and comprehensive book, from chocolate to heroin
Revisado: 11-25-19
This book is informative and interesting especially to a fellow addict. It does a good job of examining practical questions and giving in-depth answers that acknowledge a lack of certainty, I appreciated the complexity and lack of pigeon holing in the author’s conclusions. Her personal experience added a lot to the book, I could relate to her way of seeing addiction and why we do what we do.
Objectively researched and presented but put in a personal perspective that was effective. I liked it and want to listen to it again to ponder it some more. The ending conclusions clarified and elaborated on how I tend to view addiction.
A professional narrator may have been a better choice for audio version or some coaching on making it less low energy voice.

The Pickwick Papers, Dickens's first novel, is a delightful romp through the pre-Reform Bill England of 1827. Samuel Pickwick and the rest of the Pickwickians are some of the most memorable of all Dickens's creations, and it is a joy to hear of their adventures in search of "interesting scenes and characters", and the repeated efforts of the quick-witted Sam Weller to rescue them all from disaster.

A much needed look behind the curtain
Revisado: 09-13-19
I hated how much this play read my mind - in a good way. Prejudice and bias must see the light of day. Very well paced and well written play, made me question humanity. How can something be so harsh and so entertaining at the same time? Well done.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Unique Fun Well-told Relevant Intriguing-Funny
Revisado: 06-25-19
Fascinating insight into a very unusual family history and upbringing in Post-Mandela South Africa. So many funny moments weave between difficult and disturbing realities of Trevor Noah’s youth. Reading by Noah was excellent.
