Important Story of the development of emergency medicine in the USA

Revisado: 10-21-23

It is sad to read the story of the development of ambulance service in this country tied up with the awareness of skin color and judgment based on skin color. It is important to read this book and learn where we came from.

Boring and long winded.

Revisado: 03-31-21

I read it because it was on the book club list for discussion. It is important for people with the scientific interest in fungi, etc. At the end the part about mycelia able to make material is interesting especially if we run out of these materials in the natural state..

The backstory to WWII

Revisado: 03-30-20

This book fills in the details of the war. It is the back story that doesn’t told. It refers to the mistakes and the blunders and hatred. Understanding how the agony and support during the war played out is a reflection of how some countries behave to each other today.

A Classic Life

Revisado: 12-05-18

She was a long time favorite of mine. But I never knew much about her. This book filled in the backstory. The pain of segregation that Aretha and performers of her generation insured needs to be told again so it never happens again.

Fiction and weird

Revisado: 10-31-18

I am usually a nonfiction reader. But this book and series was highly recommended to me by trusted friends. So I tried it. It is ok and I will try the second book after several others on my list. I guess I am not the best judge of fiction. But it held my interest and now I want to know what happens to Ala after she leaves the Clan

This is an awful audio book

Revisado: 09-11-18

The multiple voices did not mix well requiring many adjustments of the volume. The most annoying was the reading of the footnotes and references after almost every sentence or paragraph which did not add to the story. I listened to 25 percent of the book and couldn’t stand it anymore. I will return it.

Fill in the blanks of your knowledge of American history

Revisado: 06-30-18

Important book to bring out some of the politics of the day that challenged GW’s presidency. It wasn’t smooth making the constitution work. Slavery was an issue then and eventually led to the Civil War 65 years later. They couldn’t outlaw it then as Washington wanted because there would not be a Union. The southern states would have bolted before they got started.

Couldn’t put it down.

Revisado: 06-19-18

The story reaches the level of Dan Brown. Clinton’s participation gave the quality of the White House descriptions the authenticity it needed. I had not read Patterson in a while. But now I will be back to his other works.

An important and trajectory story

Revisado: 06-02-18

A well told story of the fate of the Jewish people and culture in Eastern Europe.
The details of the attempted eradication of the Jewish people should be known and told to make sure it doesn’t happen again to any people.
