    For Australians, Kokoda is the iconic battle of World War II, yet few people know just what happened and just what our troops achieved. Now, best-selling author Peter FitzSimons tells the Kokoda story in a gripping, moving story for all Australians.

    Mark says: "A Tribute to Fighting Australians"
    "Kokoda with the background of the men in the field"

    I will listen to this more than twice Peter covers the story of Kokoda well, with a touch of humor .
    A little to-much like a novel .But a GREAT book

    A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bill Bryson’s quest to find out everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us. His challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. It's not so much about what we know, as about how we know what we know.

    Carolyn says: "If you only own one audio book, this is it!"
    "Great book - Gets you thinking"

    Would you listen to A Short History of Nearly Everything again? Why?

    Yes - There is so much to think about that you can miss the next piece of information.
