Review:I have only read about 25% of this book since it is a very large one (over 1000 pages), but I can say The Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon is one of the best history books I have ever read.
Thought English is not my native language, the book is, with a few exceptions, very easy to read. It is loaded with a lot of history since it covers over 1000 years, but this fact does not give you a headache if you are not into learning everything in it.
The book covers the histo... Read more

Review:Graham Hancock is a smart and engaging fellow; many of his lectures can be seen on Youtube, and he always manages to pique my interest. In this rather weighty tome, he broaches the theory that there was an ancient civilization which preceded what are now accepted as the earliest ones. He strongly believes that mainstream historians would rather hide their heads in the sand rather than consider the compelling evidence that earlier models of highly civilized man existed in distant prehistory (10...

Review:I also liked how this book covers the "re-discovery" of the Inca ruins in the early 1900's and other relevant information.
This book was so compelling to me that I now will plan to visit Peru to visit as many Inca sites as I possibly can. Read more

Review:I bought this book because one parent showed me their copy and I was hooked by what I saw. I had to have my own copy. This will help the students I tutor with their struggle with the subject of World History. SUPER informative and easy to understand. Read more

Review:Written over 2300 years ago, this cornerstone of political philosophy retains an astonishing degree of relevancy and applicability to the modern world. The prose takes the form of a friendly debate (with occasional humorous excursions into antagonism when Thrasymachus takes offense a few times) between four or five men, ostensibly on elucidating the nature of justice. Well, besides discussing justice, Plato launches into a description of his ideal state along with a somewhat comprehensive anal... Read more

Review:The book, The Storm Before the Storm, by Mike Duncan was published in 2017. The impressively well-researched, concise, and scholarly work relates to the stone-throwing, sword-wielding history of Rome during the time period roughly four to seven generations before the birth of Jesus Christ. A stark sense of foreboding begins to dawn on you when you read between the lines. You find the inference "raising an army in Rome was not difficult" has far-reaching implications. In addition, the author ... Read more

Review:The book is a towering work and this audio version makes it easier to digest. The narrators style is appropriate but perhaps a little too fast as the text demands your attention - which is why I have only given it four stars, .The book itself deserves SIX stars. If you get distracted for a few moments, you can often find you have missed a key moment in the story. I have tried to slow it down on my iPhone, but the slowed version sounds like the narrator has suffered a partial stroke, and the voic... Read more

Review:I wish some of our politicians were better read. Many of the mistakes and strategy errors described by Thucydides are repeated by our representatives again and again, with the expectation of different results...? Read more

Review:Exceeded my expectations, and was a thoroughly enlightening read. That being said, the book should come with a disclaimer warning readers that your deadlift will increase, women will start throwing themselves at you, and you will feel an acute urge to forego clothes entirely...

Should NOT be read at wine bar with gf. Read more
