Rich history, important figures, and massive events that rocked the entire continent; each of the 50 states comprising the United States has been the scene of enormous moments in history that are the subject of study all over the world. Knowing such facts and being able to recognize the details of culture, folklore, and sports (among many other pieces of trivia) are gifts that very few have, even those that can boast living in certain states all of their lives.

Excellent book.
Revisado: 09-01-19
More than expected! This book is rich in so many important parts of American history. While it does not present anecdotes about all the states in America, it particularly brings the origins of the Texans, New Yorkers and Californians to light. For example, did you know the Texans stereotype of "tough and unyeilding" is not just hearsay, their initial struggle for continued independence and uprising against a larger republic is why it is nicknamed "The lone star state!". If you didn't know, now you do. There are many more interesting and fascinating historical stories like this about many random things and events linked to these great states. The writer did a good job with the research, and Derek Newman delivers on the narration. Good book.

Do you know what the hardest thing for a German learner is? Finding proper reading material that they can handle…which is precisely the reason we’ve written this book! Teachers love giving out tough, expert-level literature to their students, books that present many new problems to the reader and force them to search for words in a dictionary every five minutes - it’s not entertaining, useful or motivating for the student at all, and many soon give up on learning at all!

Quick guide for getting started with German.
Revisado: 07-04-19
This book offers a quick reference to the right vocabulary for learning German. While learning a language, a lot of people struggle with the basics. This book has found a way to bridge that gap through the introduction of these concepts via stories. Stories tend to be impressed on the mind of the listener, and in this book the stories are well organized to introduce the listener to the concept at hand. It also helps that the stories are fun and short. The narration is excellent; a native German version is first given, followed by an English summary to ensure that nothing is missed. It is well recommended for beginners, although a basic introduction to the language might be a pre-requisite.
This book was given to me as a free review copy, and this feedback is my unbiased opinion and suggestion about this book.

Thrilling and informative.
Revisado: 04-09-19
This is a riveting book. It is complete with details of major crime events, especially murder cases. This book has given me a clearer insight about the sometimes dangerous nature of people, along with the efficiency of our law enforcement agencies . The world is not all roses, and it is important to be aware of such details.
I am also impressed with the narration which is well paced and clear.

Rock-on!!
Revisado: 03-30-19
I recently developed a keen interest in rock music; the signs, energy, slangs and coolness. At first, I felt I didn't know enough, and finding this book was a game changer. I learnt so many fun facts in a short time, and I can relate to the music better too.
I love this book, and hope to get more content like this.
