Title: The Quick and Dirty Guide to Primaries, Caucuses, and Political Conventions: Understand Your Democracy or Risk Losing It!

Subtitle: The Quick and Dirty Guide to Our Messy Democracy, Book 1

Author: Chris Barltett

Narrator: Daniel Hawking

Format: Unabridged

Length: 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-15-16

Publisher: It's the Journey not the Destination LLC

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

Publisher's Summary:

The media tells us that every election is like no other in history but 2016 actually deserves that title. America has a unique field of candidates: Donald Trump, a reality TV star with no experience in government and who lacks the support of much of his political party. Hillary Clinton, a former First Lady who is being investigated by the FBI. Bernie Sanders, a Jewish man who wears the label of "socialist" proudly. Ted Cruz, a Canadian-born Hispanic who is reviled by much of his own party. And John Kasich, a conservative, white governor. That last one wouldn't be so groundbreaking but he is still in there.

This brawl for the nomination absorbs an incredible amount of media attention, but so much of what is produced is marred by partisanship that it is no wonder that so few Americans fully understand the nomination process.

Because of these misunderstandings the Quick and Dirty Guide Team is proud to present our guide to America's messy primary elections! This book will walk you through the "whys" and the "hows" of our candidate selection process. This includes answers to questions like "Why does Iowa get to go first?" "How does a caucus work?" and "What's so super about superdelegates and why do just Democrats have them?"

Answered more questions than I knew I had

I read this Quick and Dirty Guide because I wanted to quickly and easily put an end to my confusion about how many delegates different candidates have collected in this election cycle and what that signifies in the long term. (Cards on the table, I really just wanted to brush up on what I thought I knew in order to be able to put an end to other people's whining over how delegates are partitioned among candidates in as painless a manner as possible. Good thing I read this, because it turns out I was a lot more ignorant than I thought.)

This guide was an excellent source for the information I was looking for. It is quick enough and dirty enough for you to get through in a short period of time and with more sustained interest than you would normally have reading a manual, handbook, or textbook of comparable scope. It gives you the facts you want to know and explains complexities in a straightforward manner, avoiding pedantry and prolixity while ensuring thoroughness and polish.

Read this book to become a better citizen, or to acquire some rich material for the next time you find yourself talking about politics--which seems unavoidable in this election cycle.

Easy to read excellent summary of our political system.

Today's "sound bite listeners" will find this Quick and Dirty book easy to read and informative. It's about what's happening politically today as seen in all the media. The USA is transfixed on this election cycle without knowing much about the way it works. This guide lays out interesting state by state details and from history and applies them to our current situation. I highly recommend this short read.

This guide directly and comprehensively answered my questions about the nomination process. It was concise and written with a sense of humor.

Excellent primer on Presidential election process

Would you listen to The Quick and Dirty Guide to Electing the President again? Why?

Every four years or so, sure.

Any additional comments?

At under an hour, this book serves as a great way to quickly understand what is often a very confusing election process. Bartlett gives a brief history of the electoral college and it's relation to the popular presidential vote. This is not an "idiot's" or "dummy's" guide. The reader is assumed to be of reasonable intelligence and the book is written for an audience looking to bring themselves back up to speed after too many years away from their high school civics lessons. One thing I really appreciated, the book does not take sides politically. While contentious issues are pointed out and explained, the reader is left to make up their own mind.

The narration was excellent. Simply and straightforward.

Title: Summary and Analysis of Ann Coulter's Adios, America: The Left's Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole

Author: Summary Station

Narrator: Lynn Longseth

Format: Unabridged

Length: 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-02-16

Publisher: Summary Station

Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

Publisher's Summary:

The views that are presented in this book are the views of Ann Coulter, who is the author of Adios, America. The writers at Summary Station made it their goal to stay impartial when it came to crafting this book. Their goal was to give listeners an idea of Coulter's opinions and the reasons she has formed them. Immigration reform is a very controversial issue, and it is only going to become more important as time goes on. It is clear to see that progress needs to be made in the case of immigration reform. However, it is not yet clear which direction America will take in the manner of making this progress.

Coulter does not think that all immigrants are bad people. She simply feels that there are problems that are created by some immigrants that America is not capable of dealing with. There is no doubt that America is facing difficult times, and the future is unclear. Coulter wants to see America fix its current problems and become a prosperous place. There will be many new challenges imposed upon America as time goes on, and the country must be strong enough to face them. Coulter does not appear to be very optimistic about America's ability to stay strong enough to deal with future problems, and that seems to be her motivation for writing Adios, America.

Just awful

A robot would have been a better narrator. The summary was pitiful. My child did better book reports when she was eight. I expected to get some useful information from this and hoped to slide by without the time and money investment. I wasted both my time and my money on this atrocity. Lesson learned. Looking forward to listening to author's actual work in her own voice.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

La stratégie est le nœud de toutes les décisions et la matrice de la plupart des tragédies. En matière de stratégie, c'est avec le monde parfois indocile que la pensée ferraille, sans cesse blessée par la résistance du réel à l'idée. D'origine militaire, irriguant la politique puis l'économie et les affaires, la stratégie a une histoire qui danse avec l'Histoire. Laissez-vous guider à travers cette fresque percutante, de Sun Tzu à Clausewitz pour les champs de bataille - option plein air - et de Michael Steve Jobs pour l'univers économique - option business. En vingt chapitres synthétiques, vivants, délibérément subjectifs et animés de vidéos réalisées par l'auteur, redécouvrez les principes incontournables et les indices pensables de la pensée stratégique.

Title: Western Politics Vs African Politics: Political Science

Author: Chukwunedum Chijioke Amajioyi

Narrator: Josh LeBrun

Format: Unabridged

Length: 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-07-16

Publisher: Chukwunedum Amajioyi

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

Publisher's Summary:

The senseless killings of innocent people and children, bad governance, bribery and corruption have taken over the politics of Africans. Today, Africans are dwelling in poverty and backwardness while other countries and continents are doing well. The reason I wrote this audiobook while on a weeklong vacation in Nigeria was to compare Western politics to African politics - to find out what has gone wrong in African political systems. Africans are not doing well because the polity is a mess and needs immediate attention before it is too late. Western Politics vs. African Politics compares the American and European political systems to Nigerian and West African politics. It explains in great detail the differences, mistakes, similarities and difficulties of these two continents in terms of good governance.

Title: Kapitalisme: Hoorcollege over de geschiedenis van onze moderne maatschappij

Author: Maarten van Rossem

Narrator: Maarten van Rossem

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-11-16

Publisher: Home Academy

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Maarten van Rossem behandelt in dit college de geschiedenis van het Westerse kapitalisme in de afgelopen eeuw, van de Great Depression tot nu. In de drie decennia na de Tweede Wereldoorlog was er sprake van een sterke economische groei en werd er gewerkt aan de opbouw van de moderne verzorgingsstaat. In de loop van de jaren zeventig stagneerde de groei. Zoekend naar een nieuw economisch model, triomfeerde onder Thatcher en Reagan het neoliberalisme. Na aanvankelijke successen ontspoorde de marktideologie en die wildgroei leidde tot de krediet- en eurocrisis. Een ingrijpende wijziging van ons economisch systeem lijkt noodzakelijk.

Members Reviews:

Slechtste verhaal over kapitalisme

Ik heb nog nooit zo'n slecht verhaal over kapitalisme gehoord. De sociaal democraat Maarten van Rossem steekt zijn vooringenomenheid niet onder stoelen of banken. Alles wat niet goed gaat wordt toegeschreven aan kapitalisme/neo-liberalisme zelfs als hij zelf aangeeft dat neo-liberale advies niet is opgevolgd. De inhoudelijke onderbouwing van zijn verhaal is vrij zwak, het is meer het combineren van historische gebeurtenissen met zijn eigen mening.

Het boek is alleen geschikt voor linkse toehoorders die van Maarten van Rossem willen horen wat ze zelf toch al vinden of voor liberalen die benieuwd zijn hoe beschamend ver kolder van sommige sociaal democraten gaat.
