Historia
Who needs philosophy? Ayn Rand's answer: Everyone. This collection of essays was the last work planned by Ayn Rand before her death in 1982. In it, she summarizes her view of philosophy and deals with a broad spectrum of topics. According to Ayn Rand, the choice we make is not whether to have a philosophy, but which one to have: a rational, conscious, and therefore practical one, or a contradictory, unidentified, and ultimately lethal one.

I think anyone can use the information in this book to organize their thinking on any political topic. Her arguments are well thought out and supported with good examples to back them up.

Historia
The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life, originally released in 1996, was a controversial piece of literature in which the authors opine that low intelligence is associated with criminality, unemployment, and other poor life choices and outcomes. Listen to this summary, and learn how IQ is considered the common denominator that relegates some people to the bottom of the social class while others are exemplified as being superior for their exceptional intellect, rising to the top of the social ladder.

Important discussion about intelligence
Revisado: 05-18-24
The authors present a wealth of information about learning in general and reasons for differences in performance in this area between the various races and cultures in the United States. Shutting the discussion down because of “political correctness “ helps no one. They give many excellent suggestions on how to move forward in order that all may prosper and do well in our society.

Historia
As a young child, Herman Lehmann was captured by a band of plundering Apache Indians and remained with them for nine years. This is his dramatic and unique story. His memoir, fast-paced and compelling, tells of his arduous initial years with the Apache as he underwent a sometimes torturous initiation into Indian life. Peppered with various escape attempts, Lehmann's recollections are fresh and exciting in spite of the years past.

Historia
"The People of the Abyss" (1903) is a work by Jack London about life in the East End of London in 1902. He wrote this first-hand account after living in the East End (including the Whitechapel District) for several months, sometimes staying in workhouses or sleeping on the streets. The conditions he experienced and wrote about, were the same as those endured by an estimated 500,000 of the contemporary London poor.

A strong statement
Revisado: 09-14-23
Mr London gives an excellent description of life in the poor sections of London in the early 1900s. It was brave of him to immerse himself so deeply in that abyss as he so aptly describes it. As always I thoroughly enjoyed his writing style and cogent analysis of events that took place.

Historia
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal, a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss.

Fine story
Revisado: 08-07-23
I think this story will resonate more with people who have been on the water and fished a bit themselves. The movie I watched years ago by the same title does not begin to do the writing justice, although it was still a good movie in its own right. Also now that I’m getting on in age myself that aspect of the story hits home too.

Historia
In 2016, with the addition of four final elements - nihonium, moscovium, tennessine and oganesson - to make a total of 118 elements, the periodic table was finally complete, rendering any pre-existing books on the subject obsolete. Tim James, the secondary-school science teacher we all wish we'd had, provides an accessible and wonderfully entertaining 'biography of chemistry' that uses stories to explain the positions and patterns of elements in the periodic table.

I found the information quite interesting. The narrator did a fine job too. I think if I had read this prior to starting my high school chemistry class I would have gotten a lot more out of it.

Historia
The mutiny on HMS Bounty, in the South Pacific on 28 April 1789, is one of history's truly great stories - a tale of human drama, intrigue and adventure of the highest order - and in the hands of Peter FitzSimons it comes to life as never before. Commissioned by the Royal Navy to collect breadfruit plants from Tahiti and take them to the West Indies, the Bounty's crew found themselves in a tropical paradise. Five months later, they did not want to leave.

Amazing story
Revisado: 01-30-23
The movie I watched decades ago did not do justice to the actual story of the HMS Bounty. This is a fine historical recounting with a properly matched narrator. I was also impressed with the excellent command of the English language that even ordinary seamen displayed back then.

Mr Conrad has a great command of the English language. I tend to get lost in how he puts together his narrative, the beauty of it. Great to listen to. The narrator did an excellent job too.
