Story8
In Made in America, Bryson de-mythologizes his native land, explaining how a dusty hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won, why Americans say 'lootenant' and 'Toosday', how Americans were eating junk food long before the word itself was cooked up, as well as exposing the true origins of the G-string, the original $64,000 question, and Dr Kellogg of cornflakes fame.

Uno de los mejores audiolibros de divulgación científica de todos los tiempos. Más de 120.000 ejemplares vendidos en España. ¿Puede un solo audiolibro convertirse en la perfecta introducción para adentrarse en disciplinas tan dispares como la astronomía, la geología, la física, la química y la biología? ¿Puede un trabajo de divulgación científica ofrecer razonamientos y datos precisos, y al mismo tiempo ser tremendamente entretenido?

El verano de 1927 estuvo lleno de hazañas legendarias, villanos, inventos revolucionarios, catástrofes y decisiones trascendentales: Charles Lindbergh cruzó el Atlántico en avión por primera vez, Al Capone llegó al momento álgido de su poder, nacieron la televisión y el cine sonoro, el Misisipi causó la mayor inundación de la historia estadounidense y la Reserva Federal cometió el error que precipitaría la Gran Depresión.

Story0
Es ist die Geschichte eines Sommers, und doch ist es so viel mehr. Das Jahr 1927 ist für Amerika entscheidend auf dem Weg zur Weltmacht. Es sind die goldenen Zwanziger: Der Aktienmarkt boomt, das Fernsehen wird erfunden, die Filme sind nicht mehr stumm, und verrückte Pläne entstehen, wie der, vier Köpfe in den völlig unzugänglichen Mount Rushmore zu meißeln. Es ist die Zeit, in der ein junger Flieger namens Charles Lindbergh Ruhm und Ehre erlangt, aber auch die des Al Capone und des größten Schulmassakers aller Zeiten.

Australia es mucho más que un enorme país. Y mucho más que la isla más grande del mundo. Es un universo aparte. Árida, con una climatología extrema y una fauna atípica (y en muchos casos muy peligrosa), Australia también tiene gentes hospitalarias, ciudades muy modernas y otros muchos secretos por descubrir. ¿Cómo no enamorarse de un lugar fascinante que no se parece a ningún otro?

Story0
O istorie ingenioasa si antrenanta a universului, Pamintului, vietii si omului, o poveste care merge de la Big Bang, cind nu eram nimic, pina la aparitia civilizatiei si la noi, cei de astazi. Bill Bryson pleaca de la propria experienta de elev care, intrigat de o imagine a Pamintului in sectiune, citeste manualul de stiinte ca sa gaseasca aici un amestec de lucruri de neinteles – mai putin raspunsurile la ceea ce ii stirnise curiozitatea, inclusiv cum si de unde stim toate aceste lucruri.
