Wow, what a story!
Revisado: 03-06-23
I am 65 years old and was captivated by this amazing story that took place during my youth. Fascinating—and a true story. Well told by the author, and I especially enjoyed the narrator’s telling.

Historia
Michael Shellenberger has been fighting for a greener planet for decades. He helped save the world’s last unprotected redwoods. He co-created the predecessor to today’s Green New Deal. And he led a successful effort by climate scientists and activists to keep nuclear plants operating, preventing a spike of emissions. But in 2019, as some claimed "billions of people are going to die", contributing to rising anxiety, including among adolescents, Shellenberger decided that he needed to speak out to separate science from fiction.

A balanced review of environmentalism
Revisado: 01-08-23
Good review of the facts and issues surrounding global warming, etc. There are good non-alarmist solutions out there.

Historia
The story of Donald Trump’s rise to power is the story of a buried American history - buried because people in power liked it that way. It was visible without being seen, influential without being named, ubiquitous without being overt. Sarah Kendzior’s Hiding in Plain Sight pulls back the veil on a history spanning decades, a history of an American autocrat in the making. In doing so, she reveals how our continual loss of freedom, the rise of consolidated corruption, and the secrets behind a burgeoning autocratic United States have been hiding in plain sight for decades.

Thought provoking
Revisado: 11-16-22
The allegations in this book were so profound and often shocking to me that I wasn’t quite sure what to think. But I’m very grateful to the author for making this effort. I knew there were things I instinctively didn’t like about Trump, and now I understand why.

Unlikely outcome of future predictions
Revisado: 08-11-22
The author is obviously intelligent and gives some informed, compelling discussion about his predictions for the future of the USA. I found the book interesting but unfortunately I think some of the author’s predictions are unlikely or unrealistic. He predicts class warfare between old and young and those who have privileged economic wealth and opportunity vs those who do not. But to anyone that understands what’s going on in our country, and its aging population, this is nothing new. The one prediction I think is unlikely, even ridiculous, is the assertion that Ivy League higher education will somehow face pressure to admit more students from the lower economic classes in the name of equal opportunity. The author asserts that the Ivy League admits only those who will fit into the privileged upper class. I think it is unlikely that these schools will relent from current practices in any material way, because the school itself benefits from the high tuition they are able to charge. If they accept more students from the rank and file, their status will be eroded and they won’t be able to charge as much money. I don’t see them ever allowing this to happen. The narrator is a bit sleepy but adequate. Worth a listen, but restates the obvious to anyone with a good general understanding of our economy and demographics, in an unnecessarily overly-technical way.

Historia
In late February 2020, Dr. Deborah Birx—a lifelong federal health official who had worked at the CDC, the State Department, and the US Army across multiple presidential administrations—was asked to join the Trump White House Coronavirus Task Force and assist the already faltering federal response to the Covid-19 pandemic. For weeks, she’d been raising the alarm behind the scenes about what she saw happening in public—from the apparent lack of urgency at the White House to the routine downplaying of the risks to Americans.

Expert analysis but unrealistic recommendations
Revisado: 06-26-22
The author is a knowledgeable expert on the subject, offers solutions & recommendations that are thoughtful but unrealistic. Good luck getting congress to agree to implement sweeping controls over pandemic public behaviors, etc. The advice on how to keep yourself safe is good. Revelations on the Trump administration’s mishandling of the pandemic are shocking. The book takes you through a detailed diary of the pandemic, sometimes too tedious & repetitive.
