Histoire1 out of 5 stars 1
In 1959, a Cincinnati pharmaceutical firm, the William S. Merrell Company, quietly began distributing samples of an exciting new wonder drug already popular around the world. Touted as a sedative without risks, thalidomide was handed out freely, under the guise of clinical trials, by doctors who believed approval by the Food and Drug Administration was imminent. But in 1960, when the application for thalidomide landed on the desk of FDA medical reviewer Frances Kelsey, she quickly grew suspicious.

Good book - not just for Americans.

Kudos to the author of this book, for taking a chance and telling it like it is in a rational and instructive manner. Most of the planet could benefit from his comments at the end about knowing our own governments, and stepping up to the plate if we find them lacking.

I listen to different chapters each night, and am asleep within a couple minutes. I don't think I've heard an episode the whole way through..

Veteran royal broadcaster Jennie Bond explores the life of Britain's longest reigning monarch. Wife, mother and head of state, who is the real Elizabeth? What do the headlines hide? How close to reality are the television interpretations? Once a minor royal, she is now one of the most recognisable women in the world. Admired by many, she has reigned through a period of unprecedented change, steering the monarchy through the end of an empire, public scandals and private losses.

Episodes vs chapters
Évalué le: 2019-05-09
I downloaded this book,which, instead of continuous chapters, is formatted as 8 separate ‘Episodes’. As I listen while driving - I found, to my dismay, that the book stops at the end of every episode, and I must fiddle with the IPad to find, click, tap etc. to get to the next episode. Knowing I should not do this while driving, I must pull over, or wait until I find a parking lot to start the next 30 minute episode. I called the hotline, but they could not help. I’m going to have to be very selective of which books I now buy.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 165
Tornadoes, cyclones, tsunamis… Weather can be deadly – especially when it strikes without warning. Millions of Americans could soon find themselves at the mercy of violent weather if the public data behind lifesaving storm alerts gets privatized for personal gain. In his first Audible Original feature, New York Times best-selling author and journalist Michael Lewis delivers hard-hitting research on not-so-random weather data – and how Washington plans to release it.

This is the only money guide you'll ever need. That's a bold claim, given there are already thousands of finance books on the shelves. So what makes this one different? You'll get a step-by-step formula: open this account, then do this; call this person, and say this; invest money here and not there. All with a glass of wine in your hand.

Good suggestions, even though we don't have the same retirement savings structures or government plans. I've rearranged a few of my day to day financial steps to include some of his ideas.
Well written and humorous..
