Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,572
Once described by The Washington Post as "the most interesting mayor you've never heard of", Pete Buttigieg, the 36-year-old Democratic mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has improbably emerged as one of the nation's most visionary politicians. First elected in 2011, Buttigieg left a successful business career to move back to his hometown, previously tagged by Newsweek as a "dying city", and transformed it into a shining model of urban reinvention.

Story4 out of 5 stars 2,014
Childhood friends Patricia Delfine and Laurence Armstead didn't expect to see each other again after parting ways under mysterious circumstances during high school. After all, the development of magical powers and the invention of a two-second time machine could hardly fail to alarm one's peers and families. But now they're both adults, living in the hipster mecca San Francisco, and the planet is falling apart around them.

In this book, the author uses chronological evolution as the outline as we observe the foundations of our universe and the unfolding of the phenomenon of "man". The evolutionary process as explained in the Human Phenomenon, a new edition of de Chardin's The Phenomenon of Man (1065 English edition), as edited and translated from the French 1955 edition by Sarah Appleton Weber in 1999, is categorized under four parts: prelife, life, thought, and superlife.

disappointing religious tract
Reviewed: 12-22-16
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
more context for and focus on the subject of the biography
What was most disappointing about Bernard Fleury’s story?
cult like presumptions on the reader of vague generalizations by an author with monomania
How could the performance have been better?
pronouncing the name of the subject of the book correctly, to start
What character would you cut from Teilhard de Chardin: The Search for the Light in Evolution?
the book would benefit from a diminishment the author's point of view and more about the subject of the non fiction biography it claims to be the subject of the book.
Any additional comments?
disappointing
