Story
In How We Can Win, Jones delves into the impacts of systemic racism and reveals how her formative years in Chicago gave birth to a lifelong devotion to justice. Here, in a vital expansion of her declaration, she calls for Reconstruction 2.0, a multilayered plan to reclaim economic and social restitutions - those restitutions promised with emancipation but blocked, again and again, for more than 150 years. And, most of all, Jones delivers strategies for how we can effect change as citizens and allies while nurturing ourselves in the fight against a system that is still rigged.

Story
In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

I'd heard of Curtis Jackson but this provided more insight to him as a person instead of a celebrity. A well writen piece of work that showed his evolution as well as providing insight to what drives him and what could drive you too.

I only listened to the book because I watched the show. Typically, I prefer the book over shows or movies, however in this case the Amazon show is much better than is dry book.

In this era, where commodities and the cost of living continues to rise, and an income from a single day job seems to not make ends meet, it would be wise to look for other ways to earn money. If you're looking for other means to add money to your bank, then you've come to the right place.

Story
In this classic work, Professor George G. M. James methodically shows how the Greeks first borrowed and then stole the knowledge from the Priests of the African (Egyptian) Mystery System. He shows how the most popular philosophers including Thales, Anaximander, Plato and Socrates were all treated as men bringing a foreign teaching to Greece. A teaching so foreign that they were persecuted for what they taught.

If this a production what happened to the sound engineer? Production should have been able to edit out misread words or something. Content was okay the reader was dry and therefore made listening to the book irritating.

Story
The Black Russian is the incredible story of Frederick Bruce Thomas, born in 1872 to former slaves who became prosperous farmers in Mississippi. After leaving the South and working as a waiter and valet in Chicago and Brooklyn, Frederick sought greater freedom in London, then crisscrossed Europe, and - in a highly unusual choice for a black American at the time - went to Russia in 1899. Because he found no color line there, Frederick made Moscow his home. He renamed himself Fyodor Fyodorovich Tomas, married twice, acquired a mistress, and took Russian citizenship.

You've seen the headlines: Parmesan cheese made from sawdust. Lobster rolls containing no lobster at all. Extra-virgin olive oil that isn't. Fake foods are in our supermarkets, our restaurants, and our kitchen cabinets. Award-winning food journalist and travel writer Larry Olmsted exposes this pervasive and dangerous fraud perpetrated on unsuspecting Americans.

Altough dry and boring in some spots, this book provides insight to our food sources and makes you yearn for more transparency within the system.

I've read a few of his books and this by far has been the worst. not sure if it was the characters or just the plot of the book in general. the next one I hear/ read has a lot to make up for.

I had read a few of Brad's books and this one was not a pleasurable as the other one's. There were plenty of twist and turns to keep you in suspense but the final chapter left didn't fully explain where the money went or I don't like whom it went to.
