George’s Secret Key To The Universe

Friday, April 25th, 2008

If you wondered about the universe and the secrets it holds, or if you simply want to understand how earth and all the stars came to be and where we’re headed, then this is a great audio book to listen to:

Stephen Hawking, author of the multi-million copy bestselling A Brief History of Time, and his daughter Lucy explain the universe to readers of all ages. The beauty of this is that it’s not some scientific lingo that only experts understand. ‘Readers of all ages’ means simply, that it’s told in a clear, understandable way.

The story line:George’s parents, who have always been wary of technology, warn him about their new neighbors: Eric is a scientist and his daughter, Annie, seems to be following in his footsteps.

Despite this warning, George befriends them and Cosmos, their super-computer, he finds himself on a wildly fun adventure, while learning about physics, time, and the universe. With Cosmos’s help, he can travel to other planets and a black hole.

But what would happen if the wrong people got their hands on this super computer Cosmos? George, Annie, and Eric aren’t about to find out, and what ensues is a funny adventure that clearly explains the mysteries of science.

You: Staying Young - The Owner’s Manual for Extending Your Warranty

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

The body is the most fascinating machine ever created, and nobody talks about it in ways that are as illuminating and compelling as Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Mehmet Oz do.

In YOU: The Owner’s Manual they showed how the human body works in general, and in YOU: On a Diet, they explained how bodies lose weight and stay fit; both books have sold in the millions.

Now, in YOU: Staying Young, the doctors are going to talk about what happens as the body ages. As with their previous titles, Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz have conducted tireless research and will introduce fascinating and crucial information in an unforgettable way. Most people think of the aging of their bodies the same way they think of the aging of their cars: The older people get, it’s inevitable that they’re going to break down—it could be in just a few ways or it could be in dozens of ways. Most people hold this notion that once they reach 40 or so, a slow and steady decline of the mind, eyes, ears, joints, arteries, libido, and every other system that affects the quality of life begins to take effect.

However, according to Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz, that’s a mistake. Aging isn’t a decline of the body’s systems. It’s actually very purposeful. The very systems and biological processes that cause people to age are actually designed to help people when they’re a little bit younger. So what’s the role of those that are part of the aging population? To learn how these systems work, so they can be reprogrammed to work the way they did when they were younger. The listener’s goal should be: Die young at any age. That means living a high quality of life (with everything from working joints to working genitals) until the day they die. The doctors’ real goal isn’t just to make people live longer; it’s to allow them to maintain vibrancy throughout their entire lives.

The way both these experts explain what works how and why it’s important that we take care of our body and mind will change your future life!

Charlie Wilson’s War - George Crile - Audio Book

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Charlie Wilson’s War is the untold story behind the last battle of the Cold War and how it fueled the rise of militant Islam. George Crile tells how Charlie Wilson, a maverick congressman from east Texas, conspired with a rogue CIA operative to launch the biggest, meanest, and most successful covert operation in the Agency’s history.

In the early 1980s, after a Houston socialite turned Wilson’s attention to the ragged Afghan freedom fighters who continued to fight the Soviet invaders despite overwhelming odds, the congressman became passionate about their cause and procured hundreds of millions of dollars to support the mujahideen.

Moving from the back rooms of the Capitol, to secret chambers at Langley, to arms-dealers conventions, to the Khyber Pass, this book is a detailed and brilliantly reported account of the inside workings of the CIA.

George Crile is a veteran producer for 60 Minutes and 60 Minutes II. He lives in New York with his wife and four daughters.

The narrator of this bestselling audio book, Christopher Lane is an award-winning actor, director, and narrator. Earning rave reviews on every book he has narrated for Blackstone, he received the coveted Audie Award in 2004. He lives in Washington, D.C.

You can download this audio book online here:

Become an Audio Book Critic

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Audio Books are popular, it’s a lot easier to carry your MP3 player with you than to lug 5 heavy paper books. And it’s a lot easier driving keeping your eyes on the road and just listening than trying to read as you drive…. forget about the dangers! Please don’t read and drive!!!

There is a new site that allows you to critic audio books and link back to the pages where you found them : Audio Books Critics - Audio Books News . It’s neat and quite easy to use.

If you are in to audiobooks, you’ll sure discover new audio books. Reading what others have to say is always interesting! Why not write a short critic about the audio book you’re currently listeing to?
