The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.

I enjoy Dawkins detailed explanations and the breadth of subject matter he covers. I find myself rereading his books often.

Some of the smartest commentary about what’s happening in America is coming from a comedian—this comedian being Bill Maher. If you want to understand what’s wrong with this country, it turns out that one of the best informed and most thought-provoking analysts is this very funny pothead.

Enrique Prado found himself in his first firefight at age seven. The son of a middle-class Cuban family caught in the midst of the Castro Revolution, his family fled their war-torn home for the hope of a better life in America. Fifty years later, the Cuban refugee retired from the Central Intelligence Agency as the CIA equivalent of a two-star general. Black Ops is the story of Ric’s legendary career that spanned two eras, the Cold War and the Age of Terrorism.

CIA from the inside view of a true patriot.

Everyone in America should be encouraged to read this book. Astounding story of courage, patriotism and by God American heroism. We need these stories to be told more often. We need to reveal our heroes and encourage them to tell their stories so we can learn from them. Learn from the people at the tip of the spear. When we do we can't help but respect them, be in awe of them, hell love them for the incredible passion they have for our country, for allowing us every day sheep to enjoy the peace and tranquility we take for granted.
Thank you Mr. Prado for sharing your story and all you have done and do!

Reviewed: 05-14-20
Fry is my favorite. This is yet another albeit one of his best examples of writing, acting, research, creativity and overall entertaining. He blends beautifully legend, myth, history, fact, fiction and pure imaginative genius so well even I a simpleton can enjoy the creation, learn from it and mostly sit in awe of all I don't know, didn't know and don't understand but now at least have a grasp of and all the while loving the journey as Fry's amazing voices play it all out in my head. Thank you Mr. Fry! Thank you very much!

Stephen Fry presents this intriguing programme charting the history of knowledge, how technology changes our relationship with it, and how we know what we knowKnowledge. The Google generation thinks it doesn’t need to carry much of it around in its head any more. Much has already been written about the internet changing the way we think and learn. But is knowledge less valuable than it used to be?

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.
