Members Reviews:

Superlative information to empower Black males

Would you listen to Understanding the Crisis of the Black Male again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to this over and over again. Informative, insightful and healing flows form this audio.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Understanding the Crisis of the Black Male?

When I realized how thoroughly researched the information is. The salvation of lost Black males is an imperative task and this audio contains many keys to accomplish it.

Have you listened to any of Bill Powerss other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first, but I hope not the last one.

If you could give Understanding the Crisis of the Black Male a new subtitle, what would it be?

And The Information To Help Resolve The Crisis

Any additional comments?

I will be listening to this over and over again and passing the powerful, healing information it contains on.

Worthwhile...for the most part

Would you try another book from Ajuma Muhammad and/or Bill Powers?

Maybe

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Left out the racism and conspiracy theroies.

Did Bill Powers do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes

Was Understanding the Crisis of the Black Male worth the listening time?

yes...for the most part

Any additional comments?

80% spot on, 15% racism on the author's part, and 5% conspiracy theory. Into the book, it became clear the author is Nation of Islam and quote scripture from the Koran and credits Louis Farrakhan. If you can get past that, the book has a lot of valid points. Book is worth reading if you are not easily swayed.

Title: In Praise of Slow

Subtitle: How a Worldwide Movement Is Challenging the Cult of Speed

Author: Carl Honoré

Narrator: Carl Honoré

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-13-17

Publisher: Penguin Random House Canada

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Social Sciences

Publisher's Summary:

In the tradition of such trailblazing books as No Logo and The Tipping Point, In Praise of Slow heralds a growing international movement of people dedicated to slowing down the pace of our contemporary times and enjoying a richer, fuller life as a result.

These days, almost everyone complains about the hectic pace of their lives. We live in a world where speed rules and everyone is under pressure to go faster. But when speed is king, anyone or anything that gets in our way, that slows us down, becomes an enemy. Thanks to speed, we are living in the age of rage.

Carl Honoré has discovered a movement that is quickly working its way into the mainstream. Groups of people are developing a recipe for living better in a fast-paced, modern environment by striving for a new balance between fast and slow. In an entertaining and hands-on investigation of this new movement, Honoré takes us from a Tantric sex workshop in a trendy neighborhood in London, England, to Bra, Italy, the home of the Slow Food, Slow Cities and Slow Sex movements. He examines how we can continue to live productive lives by embracing the tenets of the slow movement.

A challenging take on the cult of speed as well as a corrective look at how we can approach our lives with new understanding, In Praise of Slow uncovers a movement whose time has come.

Critic Reviews:

"Life is getting faster, no doubt about it. We rush everything: we eat fast food, have quickie sex, drive like maniacs, and compete hard for fast-paced jobs. We wish to slow down and slack off, but we're afraid we'll fail. The big secret is that slower people succeed, and slow often works better than fast. A London-based journalist, Honoré shows us the benefits of slowness, with chapters on food, transportation, meditation and exercise, medicine, sex, work, and parenting. In all these areas, people are making organized efforts toward slower, stress-free methods, and he provides some concrete examples (Italy's Slow Food and Slow City movements, a Tantric sex workshop in London, Japan's new approach to schooling).... This book presents ideas and resources that will be new to most readers and is recommended for both public and academic libraries." (Library Journal Review)

"A former 'speedaholic,' an award-winning Canadian journalist advocates living a slower, more measured existence, in virtually every area, a philosophy he defines as 'balance'. The author explores, in convincing and skillful prose, a quiet revolution known as 'the slow movement', which is attempting to integrate the advances of the information age into a lifestyle that is marked by an 'inner slowness' that gives more depth to relationships with others and with oneself. For the overprogrammed and stressed, slow and steady may win the race." (Publisher's Weekly)

Publisher's Summary:

Is it safer to fly or take the train? How dangerous is skydiving? And is eating that extra sausage going to kill you? We've all heard the statistics for risky activities, but what do they mean in the real world? In The Norm Chronicles, journalist Michael Blastland and risk expert David Spiegelhalter explore these questions through the stories of average Norm and an ingenious measurement called the MicroMorta - a one-in-a-million chance of dying. They reveal why general anesthesia is as dangerous as a parachute jump, giving birth in the US is nearly twice as risky as in the UK, and that the radiation from eating a banana shaves three seconds off your life. An entertaining guide to the statistics of personal risk, The Norm Chronicles will enlighten anyone who has ever worried about the dangers we encounter in our daily lives.

Title: The Defence of Democracy

Author: Mick Hume

Narrator: Andy Cresswell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-23-17

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Genres: Nonfiction, Social Sciences

Publisher's Summary:

A short, sharp intervention in the crucial debate about the future of democracy, which has been brought to a head by events from Brexit to the Trump phenomenon.

In response to the emerging 'I'm a democrat, but...' consensus, this audiobook will argue for a forthright defence of democracy against its enemies and critics, old and new. As part of that argument, it will aim to show that the problem has not been too much democracy, but too little - the absence of real political choices about the future that has stoked the popular mood of antipolitics.

Critic Reviews:

Praise for Mick Hume: "Superb.... This is a first-rate polemic and the most important political book of the year so far." (Rod Liddle)

"This is an important book, and couldn't be more timely. It's strong-minded, unafraid, determined to knock down all the various specious arguments against free speech, unapologetic about insisting on the value of free expression, and terrifically well argued. In these weak-minded times it's good to have so uncompromising a defence." (Salman Rushdie)

"What this book does tremendously is pull off the neat trick of summing up just what the hell is going on out there on the great frontiers of speech, offence, liberty and people shouting at each other." (The Times)

Title: Thailand: The Vicious Truth About Thai Hookers

Author: The Blether

Narrator: Ron Herczig

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-26-14

Publisher: Kemah Bay Marketing

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Social Sciences

Publisher's Summary:

Thailand - Man Heaven? Or Man Hell? It's really as the Thai say "Up To You". You'll see plenty of books on kindle talking about the visible sex trade in Thailand. When you mention Thailand to many people that's the first thing that springs to mind.

I'm not a genius but I can guess if you are looking at this book the chances are you are interested in seeing for yourself. The book is not the assassination job that the headline may suggest - it was based upon interviews with people that work in the trade.

It was interesting to hear their point of view and the practical issues that they face every day. Yes, they have problems with clients - but just as often they have problems with other people in the background of the trade, and other bar workers.

There's times when things can get wild and out of control - times when people in the trade pay a high price for being involved - and times when people wonder how they can go on.

There's a long list of chapters in the book and while I don't pretend that every word in the book will be relevant to you, there's no doubt that you will gain a ton of knowledge by listening to it. I suppose if you only learn one new thing that prevents you from making a costly mistake the book will be worth it.

There's a very straightforward line in the book that is the gold standard as to how to conduct yourself if you travel to Thailand to take up with ladies of the night. That line is also the last line in the book. Learn it, recite it, and never forget it and you will find Thailand to be Man Heaven. Ignore it and welcome to hell.

Once again that's up to you. I know what I would prefer.

Title: A Macat Analysis of Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel

Author: Riley Quinn

Narrator: Macat.com

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-09-16

Publisher: Macat International Limited.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Social Sciences

Publisher's Summary:

In his 1997 work Guns, Germs, and Steel, American geography professor and environmental historian Jared Diamond looks to answer the question of why human history unfolded differently on different continents, and why power and wealth became distributed as they are.

Drawing on evidence from a diverse range of disciplines, Diamond argues that the varying rates of human development over the past 13,000 years have had very little to do with genetic superiority. They are down to differences in environments. Differences across continents in wild plants and in animal species that could be domesticated played a part. Differences in the sizes of areas and populations did too. The advent of agricultural production in well-situated countries freed more people up to become warriors, leaders, and tool-makers, leading to a virtuous circle of technological advances.

This groundbreaking work has won many awards, including the highly regarded Pulitzer Prize in 1998. The National Geographic Society produced a documentary based on the book that was first broadcast in 2005.
