Story
Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol. Within minutes of his arrival, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object is discovered in the Capitol Building. The object is an ancient invitation, meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of hidden esoteric wisdom. And when Langdon's mentor is kidnapped, Langdon's only hope of saving him is to accept this invitation and follow wherever it leads him.

Disappointing. Not up to DB usual high standard. Expected the gripping story of DaV Code. Although. I did stay with it to the end.

Story
Sam Bankman-Fried wasn't just rich. Before he turned thirty he'd become the world's youngest billionaire, making a record fortune in the crypto frenzy. CEOs, celebrities and world leaders vied for his time. At one point he considered paying off the entire national debt of the Bahamas so he could take his business there. Then it all fell apart.

Complex story.

Well told story of a complex financial scam. Michael Lewis does his usual great job in turning a flat map into 3D.

I’m a Bill Bryson fan so my opinion is biased, however, anything he pens is interesting informative and entertaining and this is no exception.

Story
Spain has played a unique and essential role in Western civilization. To understand the unfolding of Spain's epic history is to come to terms with one of the West's great cultures, and to grasp its enduring presence and impact on the world stage. In these 24 accessible lectures, Professor Salisbury presents a broad and enthralling panorama of Spanish history, covering the centuries from the first prehistoric settlement of the peninsula to Spain's 20th century civil war.

Passionate Overview of Spain through Anglo Eyes
- By Anonymous User on 12-06-2023
Must, before a visit to Spain
Reviewed: 16-07-2018
After visiting Spain over a number of years my appreciation of this fabulous country has been found wanting until I listened to these lectures. Colour and depth have been brought to the Spanish picture. A must before anyone idiots.

Story
The sun is setting on the Western world. Slowly but surely, the direction in which the world spins has reversed: where for the last five centuries the globe turned westward on its axis, it now turns to the east.... For centuries, fame and fortune were to be found in the West - in the New World of the Americas. Today it is the East that calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The region stretching from Eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia, deep into China and India, is taking center stage.

The author provides an interesting and entertaining backstory to world events which have shaped our world today. Revealing the deals and double crosses which have created strange bedfellows of unlikely alliances. My enemy's enemy is my friend would also be a suitable title. Why countries are able to support ideologically opposites is revealed.
