Title: Quarterly Essay 32 Subtitle: American Revolution: The Fall of Wall Street and the Rise of Barack Obama Author: Kate Jennings Narrator: Marie-Louise Walker Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Where were you when America elected Barack Obama? Kate Jennings was in New York, eyes wide open, completing her take on an amazing time: "the run-up to the election... a time when every day felt like a year and we became slightly crazed from worry but also mesmerised, unable to switch off the cable news stations, obsessively tracking the DOW, VIX, LIBOR spreads, polls in red states. So much at stake." American Revolution is a dazzling and perceptive look at the United States between hope and despair: an election-year kaleidoscope. Jennings describes how and why the US economy fell off a cliff and how an apparently endless run of primaries and an increasingly rancorous campaign culminated in a world-changing victory. She surveys the characters - Obama, Palin, McCain and the Clintons - and conveys the concepts - derivatives, bailouts and moral hazard. This is an essay that shows America in fascinating flux: it is witty and poetic, acute and evocative. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Kate Jennings) Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:25:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Quarterly-Essay-32-Audiobook/B007T8F1IC thebookvoice.com 03:27:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Devil in the White City Author: Erik Larson Narrator: Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs Language: English Release date: 09-12-03 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14860 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: The White City (as it became known) was a magical creation constructed upon Chicago's swampy Jackson Park by Daniel H. Burnham, the famed architect who coordinated the talents of Frederick Olmsted, Louis Sullivan, and others to build it. Dr. Henry H. Holmes combined the fair's appeal with his own fatal charms to lure scores of women to their deaths. Whereas the fair marked the birth of a new epoch in American history, Holmes marked the emergence of a new American archetype, the serial killer, who thrived on the very forces then transforming the country. In deft prose, Larson conveys Burnham's herculean challenge to build the White City in less than 18 months. At the same time, he describes how, in a malign parody of the achievements of the fair's builders, Holmes built his own World's Fair Hotel - a torture palace complete with a gas chamber and crematorium. Throughout the book, tension mounts on two fronts: Will Burnham complete the White City before the millions of visitors arrive at its gates? Will anyone stop Holmes as he ensnares his victims? Critic Reviews: "A hugely engrossing chronicle of events public and private." (Chicago Tribune) "Vivid history of the glittering Chicago World's Fair and its dark side."

I enjoyed this listen so much I lost sleep to continue listening. Scott Brick is my favorite narrator and he doesn't disappoint here. Set in Chicago in the late 1800's the book tells two stories. The fascinating story of Chicago's rush to build the White City and hold the World Fair of 1893 (celebrating the 400th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of America and visited by everyone who was anyone); as well as the murderous actions of Herman Mudgett (a.k.a. HH Holmes) a well respected doctor who preyed on young trusting women, and anyone else who got in his way. The author writes in such a way that you can truly imagine the excitement and boom happening in that place and time. Other added details such as the detectives' intense search for evidence, appearances by famous people, and a tale from the Titanic make this story a rich and enjoyable read. This was a huge undertaking for any author and I'm glad Larson ventured to uncover this enthralling story, however more details of both the murders and the building of the city would have been welcomed. Still a fascinating read that for the first time makes me look forward to the movie so I can see the incredible White City come to life. two excellent stores read by a superb narrator My daughter was assigned this book as part of her summer reading for her Honor's English class. I got to it first and spent two nights awake until dawn listening in wonder. I expected a murder mystery set in the World's Fair. It was so much more. Really there were two stories running concurrently. We did follow HH Holme and know what he was up to while living in Chicago. There was nothing gruesome -- Mr Larson writes about Holmes' machinations in a straightforward way. For me this mad it feel less sensational and I was glad for the writing style. The other story interested me further. Following the preparation for, the buildup towards, and the financial consequences of the Fair was fascinating. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Devil-in-the-White-City-Audiobook/B002V5GZC4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Enthralling Story...best part - its true! This is an enthralling account of history. I listened to most of it in my car and then when I was on the last disc I brought it into the house so that I could finish. My husband came home from work and found me sitting in the floor staring at the stereo. I love history! Most of my friends think I'm insane, they never even venture into that section of the bookstore. I've given this book (hardcover version) to several friends as gifts...told them enough of the story to get them hooked and then let them know it was all true. High School teacher's should use this book to show students that history isn't about memorizing dates and names but about understanding the lives, situations, decisions, mistakes and triumphs of those that came before us...and then using those experiences in your time. My only complaint about the audio book was that it was abridged...I read the hardcover as well and every word was worth hearing. Wonderfully evocative, and well-presented Tony Goldman's clear and dramatic reading of this fascinating book was a pleasure to listen to, and the story itself was riveting. I confess to paying closer attention to the depredations of HH Holmes rather than to some of the business dealings around the 1893 Chicago Fair, but the entwined story was quite well done, the historical period came alive in the telling, and I was sorry when the book came to a close, since I'd enjoyed it as a diverting story during long commutes. Art and Murder in Chicago Fasinating and educational account of the history and architecture behind the World Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago; interwoven with the story of one of the world's first documented serial killers. You won't want to put it down! HISTORICAL WHODUNIT Engrossing account of turn of the century Chicago. Rich with details of the Exposition and the bonus investigation of a psycopathic serial killer. Where have all the World's Fairs gone? Frankly, I don't know what was more interesting- the improbability and final construction of the Chicago's World's Fair (you'll appreciate Ferris Wheels in a new way) or the audacity and inherent evil of the serial murderer that Larson describes. Well read and a wonderful account of a moment in history. Check out the pictures on the internet of Chicago's World's Fair- it was really grand. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Paddy-Whacked-Audiobook/B01FMZD6OE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Especially with regard to Irish gangsters. Amazing One of the best. Informational but captivating storyline which traces the Irish mob from its origin up to recent times Awesome book. T.J English is the man David Colacci nailed it!! Irishman were tough bastard's, gritty to the core. Makes me want to research my roots. Paddy Whacked This was overall a great book full of fascinating facts on US underworld history. The only reason I did not give it full stars was it took a bit to get going and a tad long. But again, history is not always exciting, still a must have book. First Half - 4 Stars - Second Half - 2 Stars I am evidently one of the few people not fascinated by organized crime. I see nothing romantic about gangsters or their activities and think that celebrating it in writing just encourages people to emulate essentially ugly and violent people. Plus I typically find most stories about organized crime raciest and bigoted. If I came from one of the ethnic groups typically maligned in these books I would be insulted. That said, this book was recommend to me primarily because the recommender thought it shared some Irish history I would find interesting. And I did. The first half of the book deals with Irish immigration to the US and some of the forces that led this group of immigrants to become disproportionately involved in organized crime - masquerading as politics. The author presented colorful characters that are often caricatured, as flesh and bone people. The later half of the book deals with prohibition, the rise of the Italian organized crime families and more recent Irish criminals. I did not care for this half of the book https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Murder-of-the-Century-Audiobook/B0055Q89LG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Murder of the Century Subtitle: The Gilded Age Crime That Scandalized a City & Sparked the Tabloid Wars Author: Paul Collins Narrator: William Dufris Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 06-16-11 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 1324 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: In Long Island, a farmer found a duck pond turned red with blood. On the Lower East Side, two boys playing at a pier discovered a floating human torso wrapped tightly in oilcloth. Blueberry pickers near Harlem stumbled upon neatly severed limbs in an overgrown ditch. Clues to a horrifying crime were turning up all over New York, but the police were baffled: There were no witnesses, no motives, no suspects. The grisly finds that began on the afternoon of June 26, 1897, plunged detectives headlong into the era's most perplexing murder. Seized upon by battling media moguls Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, the case became a publicity circus. Re-creations of the murder were staged in Times Square, armed reporters lurked in the streets of Hell's Kitchen in pursuit of suspects, and an unlikely trio - an anxious cop, a cub reporter, and an eccentric professor - all raced to solve the crime. What emerged was a sensational love triangle and an even more sensational trial: an unprecedented capital case hinging on circumstantial evidence around a victim that the police couldn't identify with certainty - and that the defense claimed wasn't even dead. The Murder of the Century is a rollicking tale - a rich evocation of America during the Gilded Age and a colorful re-creation of the tabloid wars that have dominated media to this day. Editorial Reviews: Paul Collins tells the story of the brutal, bloody murder of William Guldensuppe committed by his girlfriend and her lover. Narrator William Dufris gives a delightfully varied and nuanced performance. The book features the voices of a diverse cast of late-19th century New York characters, from Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst to a duck farmer in Woodside to employees of the Murray Hill bathhouse. Together, the characters tell the story of a gruesome crime that fueled a sensationalistic media juggernaut from the moment a group of young boys found a man's mutilated torso floating in the East River in New York City on a summer day in 1897. In Dufris' inventive performance, he expertly adopts the voice of the chillingly blasé murderers; then turns on a dime to describe, in a voice filled with wonder, the new forensic science that went into identifying the body. Dufris engages the listener by sounding as fascinated by the story as the author himself is. It is vital that Dufris get the performances just right, since Collins has distinguished his book from other histories of the crime by telling the story of the investigation and trial largely through the voices of the people who were actually there. Collins carefully reconstructs their quotes into an intensely detailed narrative, and Dufris individualizes the voice of each witness, including the murder defendants themselves. Especially effective is his portrayal of one of the main defense attorneys in the story, William Howe, whom Dufris imbues with a bold, brash voice that enlivens the "Big Bill" persona that Collins describes. But Dufris is just as adept at capturing the macabre character of the women who, obsessed with the case, filled the sweltering courtroom gallery day after day to show their support for the dashing murder defendant, Martin Thorn. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Paul Collins) Thu, 16 Jun 2011 22:08:41 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Murder-of-the-Century-Audiobook/B0055Q89LG thebookvoice.com 09:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

But Dufris is just as adept at capturing the macabre character of the women who, obsessed with the case, filled the sweltering courtroom gallery day after day to show their support for the dashing murder defendant, Martin Thorn.

Title: The Murder of the Century Subtitle: The Gilded Age Crime That Scandalized a City & Sparked the Tabloid Wars Author: Paul Collins Narrator: William Dufris Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 06-16-11 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 1324 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: In Long Island, a farmer found a duck pond turned red with blood. On the Lower East Side, two boys playing at a pier discovered a floating human torso wrapped tightly in oilcloth. Blueberry pickers near Harlem stumbled upon neatly severed limbs in an overgrown ditch. Clues to a horrifying crime were turning up all over New York, but the police were baffled: There were no witnesses, no motives, no suspects. The grisly finds that began on the afternoon of June 26, 1897, plunged detectives headlong into the era's most perplexing murder. Seized upon by battling media moguls Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, the case became a publicity circus. Re-creations of the murder were staged in Times Square, armed reporters lurked in the streets of Hell's Kitchen in pursuit of suspects, and an unlikely trio - an anxious cop, a cub reporter, and an eccentric professor - all raced to solve the crime. What emerged was a sensational love triangle and an even more sensational trial: an unprecedented capital case hinging on circumstantial evidence around a victim that the police couldn't identify with certainty - and that the defense claimed wasn't even dead. The Murder of the Century is a rollicking tale - a rich evocation of America during the Gilded Age and a colorful re-creation of the tabloid wars that have dominated media to this day. Editorial Reviews: Paul Collins tells the story of the brutal, bloody murder of William Guldensuppe committed by his girlfriend and her lover. Narrator William Dufris gives a delightfully varied and nuanced performance. The book features the voices of a diverse cast of late-19th century New York characters, from Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst to a duck farmer in Woodside to employees of the Murray Hill bathhouse. Together, the characters tell the story of a gruesome crime that fueled a sensationalistic media juggernaut from the moment a group of young boys found a man's mutilated torso floating in the East River in New York City on a summer day in 1897. In Dufris' inventive performance, he expertly adopts the voice of the chillingly blasé murderers; then turns on a dime to describe, in a voice filled with wonder, the new forensic science that went into identifying the body. Dufris engages the listener by sounding as fascinated by the story as the author himself is. It is vital that Dufris get the performances just right, since Collins has distinguished his book from other histories of the crime by telling the story of the investigation and trial largely through the voices of the people who were actually there. Collins carefully reconstructs their quotes into an intensely detailed narrative, and Dufris individualizes the voice of each witness, including the murder defendants themselves. Especially effective is his portrayal of one of the main defense attorneys in the story, William Howe, whom Dufris imbues with a bold, brash voice that enlivens the "Big Bill" persona that Collins describes. But Dufris is just as adept at capturing the macabre character of the women who, obsessed with the case, filled the sweltering courtroom gallery day after day to show their support for the dashing murder defendant, Martin Thorn. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Public-Enemies-Audiobook/B002UZDY0Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Public Enemies Subtitle: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34 Author: Bryan Burrough Narrator: Campbell Scott Format: Abridged Length: 5 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 07-15-04 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 110 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: In 1933, police jurisdictions ended at state lines, the FBI was in its infancy, and fast cars and machine guns were easily available. It was a great time to be a bank robber. On hand were a motley crew of criminal masterminds, sociopaths, romantics, and cretins. Bryan Burrough has unearthed an extraordinary amount of new material on all the major figures involved, revealing many fascinating interconnections in the vast underworld ecosystem that stretched from Texas up to Minnesota. But the real-life connections were insignificant next to the sense of connectedness J. Edgar Hoover worked to create in the mind of the American public, using the "Great Crime Wave" to gain the position of untouchable power he would occupy for almost half a century. Critic Reviews: "The definitive account of the 1930s crime wave....[Burrough] successfully translates years of dogged research, which included thorough review of recently disclosed FBI files, into a graceful narrative....This book compellingly brings back to life people and times distorted in the popular imagination by hagiographic bureau memoirs and Hollywood." (Publishers Weekly) "Fascinating..." (The New York Times) "A colorful history of the mobile, heavily armed, self-glamorizing desperadoes called forth by the Depression and of the government's response, organized by the rigid, brilliant, incorruptible and ultimately creepy J.

(The New York Times Book Review) Members Reviews: Need the unabridged version A book like this is fascinating, but I learned my lesson with previous purchases: wait for the unabridged edition! Too Abridged Great stories, but I have a feeling that the unabridged version offers more insight into Hoover and the personalities and politics behind the FBI. The abridged version is mostly the gangster tales - very exciting stuff but it lacks the insight that I am sure Burrough meant to communicate. See Michael Mann's movie if you want shootemup stories and wait for the unabridged version if you want the whole story! Good listen....! The books goes into most of the gangsters from that era, not just Dillinger. I thought it would have detailed more of Dillinger's life, but it was interesting to hear about some of the other gangsters as well, but not what I thought or like the movie at all. Great read from the mobster days History that's close to Chicago where I lived for 12 years. This was a great short story to read before visiting the museum in Crown Point IN. Absolutely Fantastic!!!! Would you consider the audio edition of Public Enemies to be better than the print version? Just as good as the printed version - very well-read. What did you like best about this story? Facts! While studying criminology, I researched and read many declassified documents and public record documents. Bryan Burrough did an amazing job maintaining the facts of the period, while merging a well-told narrative. Which character as performed by Campbell Scott was your favorite? Narrator. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Fascinating Description Interesting for lovers of detail; fascinating history of the relationship between Puerto Rico and the US. Well read. The title is somewhat misleading because the gunfight took less than one minute. The story was really about the many individuals involved and the political atmosphere. Worth the listen This was a very long book about an event that took 38 seconds. Gives a good understanding of the Nationalist movement in Puerto Rico. The book can be a frustrating listen since it will go into hour long side stories about the participants in the shooting. Spellbinding History This book is a wonderful surprise. The author takes an episode from history (the attempt to assassinate President Harry S. Truman) and gives it up-to-date relevance and edge-of-your-seat suspense. I've never read a book that takes 10 seconds of an event and turns it into an entire chapter. "American Gunfight" shows just how little we've progressed in the past 55 years. It's a must read that makes for sober wonderment at man's ability to frustrate the best in himself. an american gunfight This is absolutely the most tedious thing I ever tried to listen to. I had listened to another Stephen Hunter book, so I tried this. Could NOT finish it. 15 hours to tell a 3 hour story What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? I appreciate a lot of detail and like Stephen Hunter's other books, but the amount of detail in this book is ridiculous. This is the only time that I have wished for an abridged version of a story. It is to the point that if a man is wearing a suit, the author goes into the family history of the tailor. GET TO THE POINT! What could Stephen Hunter and John Bainbridge have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Made it 75% shorter. What does John H. Mayer bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? A pleasant voice. What character would you cut from American Gunfight? The narrator. Any additional comments? Too tedious. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Mafia-Summit-Audiobook/B009PPLSKC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Mafia Summit Subtitle: J. Edgar Hoover, the Kennedy Brothers, and the Meeting That Unmasked the Mob Author: Gil Reavill Narrator: Keith Szarabajka Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 01-22-13 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Here is the true story of how a small-town lawman in upstate New York busted a Cosa Nostra conference in 1957, exposing the Mafia to America. In a small village in upstate New York, mob bosses from all over the countryincluding Vito Genovese, Carlo Gambino, Joe Bonanno, Joe Profaci, Cuba boss Santo Trafficante, Jr., and future Gambino boss Paul Castellanowere nabbed by Sergeant Edgar D. Croswell as they gathered to sort out a bloody war of succession. For years FBI director J. Edgar Hoover had adamantly denied the existence of the Mafia, but young Robert Kennedy immediately recognized the shattering importance of the Apalachin summit. Appointed attorney general after his brother John became president, Bobby embarked on a campaign to break the spine of the mob, engaging in a furious turf battle with the powerful Hoover. Detailing mob killings, the early days of the heroin trade, and the crusade to loosen the hold of organized crime, this momentous story will caputre fans of Gus Russo and Luc Sante. Reavill scintillatingly recounts the beginning of the end for the Mafia in America and how it all began with a good man in the right place at the right time. Gil Reavill is an author, screenwriter, and playwright whose work has been widely featured in magazines. He is the author of Aftermath, Inc. and coauthor of Beyond All Reason and the screenplay that became the 2006 film Dirty, starring Cuba Gooding, Jr. Critic Reviews: "The infamous Apalachin gangster conclave of 1957 is best remembered for the images of hoods in $1000 suits scrambling through the muddy upstate New York woods after the cops closed in. Gil Reavills Mafia Summit at last fleshes out the story to give us the gang wars that led up to the gathering and the law enforcement turf battles that followed it. Here is gangland history that is compelling, thoughtful and well-grounded in scrupulous research. With a lively cast of characters that includes ruthlessly ambitious bosses such as Vito Genovese and ambitiously ruthless politicians such as Bobby Kennedy, Mafia Summit is a set-the-story-straight page-turner."

The book was well-enough written and Keith Szarabajka did a great job! If youve listened to books by Gil Reavill before, how does this one compare? I have not listened to his books. Which character as performed by Keith Szarabajka was your favorite? Again, Keith Szarabajka did a great job. I think the narrator is hugely important and love when they use subtle inflection to seperate characters without trying to do impersonation. All the caracters were done perfectly. Did Mafia Summit inspire you to do anything? I was inspired to research some newspaper articles on the topic. Again, it gave me knowledge and inspired me to seek more. Boring from start to finish. What did you like best about Mafia Summit? What did you like least? I didn't like much at all. It could have been much better. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Written a new book. Which scene was your favorite? Wasn't one. If this book were a movie would you go see it? No Any additional comments? Maybe it's me, but I thought this was extremely boring. It pained me to almost finish it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-First-Family-Audiobook/B002V8HD7W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In The First Family, Mike Dash tells the little known story of the Morello family. He follows the birth of the Mafia in America from the 1890s to the 1920s, from the wharves of New Orleans - where Morello himself disembarked in the United States - to the streets of Little Italy. Using previously untapped secret service archives, prison records, and interviews with surviving family members, Dash brings to life the remarkable villains and unusual heroes of the Mafia's early years, from the colorful members of the Morello family to Joseph Petrosino, an Italian cop with a thick Naples accent, and William Flynn, a dogged U.S. Secret Service agent, who banded together to bring down Morello.

Yes, this is possibly the best researched and written book about the Mafia. Which scene was your favorite? The investigation of the Morello counterfeit operation Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The murder of Joesph Petrosino Very well written. great research! This was an excellent book. It was written very well and the research done is staggering! The best part is, it "reads" like a novel. It is hard to stop listening. This book would make one hell of a movie. The narrator does a very good job and when he reads the newspaper quotes he even sounds like an old time news reporter.

Title: Shot All to Hell Subtitle: Bad Ass Outlaws, Gunfighters, and Law Men of the Old West Author: Nick Vulich Narrator: Josh Brogadir Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 07-07-16 Publisher: Nicholas L Vulich Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: For over 150 years the image of western bad men has thrilled readers and filled movie screens. Who hasn't heard of Jesse James, the Dalton Brothers, Black Bart, or Belle Starr? They are as much a part of American folklore as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. There's something about the west that has brought out the best, and the worst, in mankind. The funny thing is, a cult following has developed around many of these bandits, making them out to be something they weren't. The legend that grew up around Joaquin Murrieta was that he was just a normal guy who moved from Mexico to California, and tried to strike it rich during the gold rush. What he discovered instead, was a big sign that read, "No Mexicans Allowed." His supporters say, that because of the Foreign Claim Tax, he was forced off his land, and into a life of outlawry. And, then to support that claim, a whole legend has been built up, about how he stole from the rich, and shared his wealth with poor Mexican families. The only problem is the facts don't support that interpretation. The same stories developed around Jesse James. Legend has it, Jesse only stole from rich bankers and railroad men, and the reason he could disappear into thin air after pulling a bank job or train robbery was because he shared the booty with poor Missouri families. As with Murrieta, that probably never happened. Jesse James was a thief. He stole money wherever he could get his hands on it. He robbed stagecoaches, banks, trains, you name it. And last but not least, there's Belle Starr, one of the most badass female robbers on record. Belle called her pistols her "babies," and ruled an outlaw kingdom based out of her home in Indian Territory. She lived by the gun, and she died by the gun. The outlaw life was almost always portrayed as a glamorous life, filled with loose women, blazing guns, and saddlebags overflowing with gold, silver, and greenbacks. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Nick Vulich) Thu, 07 Jul 2016 06:58:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Shot-All-to-Hell-Audiobook/B01I1NE1IO thebookvoice.com 04:15:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Chatty entertaining and lively Even if you've read the stories of the men and women who are featured in this book, it's still just such a fun read. He gets to the point without any minutiae so it's also a great place to start for people who just want to know enough or use this as an entry to longer, more detailed biographies or histories Good read I Iike the authors story telling. His accounts seem believable. I highly recommend. Do your self a favor and read the book A very informative series of the Old West and some of the impressive heroes of our wonderful past. I enjoyed the more descriptive acknowledgement of our folklore heroes and their realistic accomplishments. I recommend these short stories to anyone interested in the true wild west exploits of the old western eras. Shot to Hell A Really good interesting book to read It is about outlaws and Marshals in the wild west Some are well known names but some are unheard of Long on facts Long on facts but not a story. Kept talking about the same people in multiple places. Not what I expected. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Detonators-Audiobook/B002V8KUAE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Detonators Subtitle: The Secret Plot to Destroy America and an Epic Hunt for Justice Author: Chad Millman Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-06 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 40 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: That year, while the Allied and Central forces waged war in Europe, a group of German saboteurs blew up Black Tom Island, a spit of land in New York Harbor within earshot of downtown Manhattan. The subsequent hail of missiles and gunpowder devastated much of lower New York City. The attack, so massive that as far away as Maryland people could feel the ground shake, had been shockingly easy. America was crisscrossed with networks of German agents, hiding in full daylight, an "enemy within" plotting further, deadlier attacks. All the way up to the president, officials had known something like this could happen, and yet nothing had been done. Twenty years later, the German government had still managed to evade responsibility for the crime, and probably would have continued to, were it not for the determination of three lawyers named McCloy, Peaslee, and Martin. These men, most crucially the young John McCloy, made it their mission to solve a mystery that began during the First World War and barely ended before the second. The Detonators is a fascinating portrait of these men and their time, an era in which the rising American establishment engaged the world. It is also the dramatic love story of John and Ellen McCloy, and the first full accounting of a crime and cover-up that resonates strongly in post-9/11 America. Critic Reviews: "Gripping."

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Little known story of terrorism via Germany in WWI I enjoyed this true story of German saboteurs in America including a bombing that measured 5 on the Richter scale. It was unbelievable that the United States and especially President Wilson were so naïve that they had no counter espionage agents in place. The best part of this tale was the story of John McCloy and his wife Ellen. He was a lawyer that got involved in the trial to bring justice to the owners of the plant that was sabotaged by the German spies. She was fearless in her stance to help her man, including once following an agent into a men's restroom just in time to see him climb out the window to escape. This was an important story to know and I am glad I read it. Lloyd James narration was good, if nothing special. Read great,great story telling. Would you consider the audio edition of The Detonators to be better than the print version? Yes great story telling,narrating What about Lloyd Jamess performance did you like? Kept my attention and intrest Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Neither ,familiar with past remember the history of this story A part of history I didn't know... Millman brings a little recognized part of history to life. He tells the story in a way that keeps one coming back to find out what happened. Interesting story A very interesting tale told well. Little known Acts of sabotage An eye opener both historically and legally.

Members Reviews: okay it was a okay book to listen to. I wouldn't listen to it again though. not really into interview or whatever type of audio book this is . Short and not bad Is this worth 1 credit? No. But if you get it for a deal give it a listen because it is only a few minutes long and quite informative as well as entertaining. You'll learn about expressions that are still in use and other forms of slang that aren't used as much. It's the cat's pajamas! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This is a short 14 minute overview of Roaring Twenties slang. Yes I would recommend it. I was amazed about how many terms we still use today and the background meaning for them. What other book might you compare Boardwalk Empire Free Bonus Material to and why? Boardwalk Empire, Any F. Scott Fitzgerald or Dorothy Parker. Several authors are mentioned in this short essay. If you are interested in the 1920's era that by all means read the people who were writing at that time. What does Oliver Wyman bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His inflection is great, and I enjoyed him. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? No, it's funny not moving. Any additional comments? Who would have known that 23 skidoo and 86'd were addresses? Very interesting stuff. Worth Precisely what I paid for it. This was free, as well it should be because it was much about nothing. I don't believe dictionary lists make acceptable audio books. This certainly didn't It might be a treasure as a printed reference book. I've looked for that kind of information as a writer, and it would be much more helpful in that format. WYMAN IS AMAZING!! What made the experience of listening to Boardwalk Empire Free Bonus Material the most enjoyable? I recently listened to Lair of the White Worm, narrated by Oliver Wyman, which is what brought me to Audible and I found he has over 100 books narrated under his name, at which time I perused some newer authors and narrators that sounded pretty awesome. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Imbibe-Updated-and-Revised-Edition-Audiobook/B074T1P5P8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Mr. Wondrich has an extremely high opinion of himself and that shines through more than anything else in this book. He is the proverbial queen in the anthill that spawned a generation of bartenders who care more about THEIR cocktails and their 76 types of bitters, than they do their guests. He reminds of a good many bartenders that Iâve managed...and not in an endearing way. The writing style is great. Provides a not often seen insight into the ... The writing style is great. Provides a not often seen insight into the history of cocktails in America. The historical recipes are interesting and the author David Wondrich went to painstaking lengths to provide suggestions on how to make them with modern ingredients. Would reccomend to anyone who has a serious love of cocktails. A must for cocktail fans! Good book covering much of the early history of cocktails. A very interesting read. Highly recommended for anyone interested in cocktails, whether as a maker or consumer. History, booze, and recipes. Definitely a must buy. Great read and resource for anyone interested in a somewhat untold part of American and international history and an even better reference for people interested in cocktails/bartending in general. Amazing history and guide through early American mixology Amazing history and guide through early American mixology. I also own the first edition and can say that the revisions in this version are worthy of the price of admission.

Phillips Members Reviews: Business Primer In an interesting and compelling format, the author has woven a history of the American Revolution with principles of leadership. The leadership maxims used are quotations from various founders. George Washington is most frequently quoted and the author's esteem for this giant in American History is apparent. I found this book enjoyable and will again listen to the book to better glean the timeless gems of wisdom. A must read for all americans. I believe this book should be a mandatory read for all high school students, and most certainly all elected officials. The historical perspective and insight into the founding fathers is tremendous. Too many people in this country have never learned of the courage and sacrifice of the founding fathers and it is my opinion that this book is an excellent recourse for that information. Historical yet Relavent Foundational Leadership I've read the book at liked it so much I wanted to listen to it as well while in my car. if you are a student of leadership this is a great read demonstrating what leadership looks like in action. Revolutionary Leadership Another remarkable work by Phillips, this time analyzing our Founding Fathers. A must-listen for any good manager who wants to be a great leader. As with Runger's narration of "Lincoln on Leadership", there are two minor nits with the recording (you can hear Runger's breathing inbetween some sections and chapters flow together so it's hard to guess when one ends and the next one starts), I gave it a 5-star rating because of the content. I recommend getting a copy of the paperback version so you can follow these principles day-to-day. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Why-Youre-Already-a-Leader-Audiobook/B075QMNRXP Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Why You're Already a Leader As an educator and a mother of teenage boys, this is a book that I highly recommend. Ingeniously weaving history with elements of leadership respected in modern society, this book speaks to those who are leaders innately as well as to those who have only begun to realize the leadership potential inside of them. In this book, author Paul Hemphill has cleverly and successfully researched and captured the essence of leadership discovered during the battle of Gettysburg. He writes in very short, compact chapters while interestingly describing the stories of heroes and heroines, some well-school leaders and others who are every day people. He then applies their virtues and morals to what true leadership is in our modern world. This book has been an easy read for my teenage sons and I feel they gained valuable insight from it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who aspires to be, is in the throws of becoming, or already is...a leader! Great job by Paul Hemphill skillfully engaging the reader with ... Great job by Paul Hemphill skillfully engaging the reader with valuable lessons of leadership from a historical point of view. Courage of âordinaryâ men and women caught up in extraordinary circumstances Packed with history, this collection of personal stories of men and women who fought at Gettysburg and cared for the wounded and dying is a powerful testament to the power of the individual to affect all whom he or she encounters. It is not so much about the battle itself, but instead about how real people reacted in life and death situations â many displaying profound courage and some who revealed a cowardice that contributed to their own and othersâ demises. The battle is summarized in a way that brings the participants and events alive. I never thought about Gettysburg on a personal level â yet here I was, reading about the battle - weeping at the sheer horror of it and the bravery and nobility displayed by so many. It is also about the lessons we can take away from the experiences of others and apply them in our own lives. And how everything we do in life influences others and thus makes us all leaders. The question then becomes: what kind of influence do we wish to have and so what kind of leaders will we be? Organized into short essays â each story is followed by relevant lessons. Read it in one sitting or just a story a day. Read it with your family, friends or alone. Use it in your homeschooling curriculum or after school when studying American history. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Instant-Genius-The-Cheat-Sheets-of-Culture-Audiobook/B002UZMZ4W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Beware of Sound Quality Issues What would have made Instant Genius, The Cheat Sheets of Culture better? The audio quality was surprisingly bad, even though I downloaded it with the same settings as my other recordings. It had nothing to do with the narrator; just hard to hear, overall. Would you be willing to try another one of Ken Boyntons performances? Yes. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Interesting, informative and perfectly "digestible" in short sittings - enjoyable way to spend 45 minutes or so. I just wish I'd been able to hear better! Any additional comments? Could probably do without the little "dramatized" dialogues at the beginning ("why you need to read this" section where people argue historical facts). Just a waste of time, blurry sound quality and very artificially scripted - an eye-roll moment. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Sex-Audiobook/B0036HXY9S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Old fashioned information although it gives old fashion info it is still interesting even if just to see how society has changed. in its day was mostly needed.. loved it just talks about the sex path. it is a good read and not to explicit. took me a 3 days to read and i'm a slower reader, so it was a good book Five Stars nice great this book was great and i would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read and who wants to learn Thoughtful and enlightening look at times past I found this book at Project Gutenberg and thought it would be interesting to read a book regarding sex education from a 1920s viewpoint AND one written by a man. With a few exceptions, the book was thoughtful, well balanced and did not cater to the views that women were inferior to men or that their desires or disreputable tendencies occurred less frequently than that of their male counterparts. There were a few moments where I had to laugh at the outdated and puritanical ideas that were professed, but overall, this was a great glimpse into early American views on sexuality and how they believed it best to prepare children for the changes that would occur as they matured. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Little-Leaders-Bold-Women-in-Black-History-Audiobook/B0788TGG81 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I love this book and wish I'd had it when I was growing up! The delightful illustrations replete with a short biography of 40 trail blazing black women who made great contributions in every sphere: academia; art, economics; entertainment; film; letters; science; social causes and space travel. Everybody and their children know who Rosa Parks was, but it's long past time to learn about other black women who were high achievers. John Glen, former senator from Ohio and astronaut said that he would not board any space craft before the team behind the scenes gave their approval. That team included black women who were gifted mathematicians and scientists. Oprah Winfrey, known for her long running talk show and her recent acquisition of Weight Watchers as well as her own magazine and TV channel and a plethora of social products such as a school for girls in Africa is also in this book. I loved learning about all of these people and the major contributions they made. I think everybody should know who these women are and what they were able to accomplish. I think this book belongs in every classroom. It is a good way to have discussions about these women; inspire others to learn more about them and in turn be inspired by them. This book is for everybody. Has so much good info about famous black female leaders This book is everything! Has so much good info about famous black female leaders, paired with great illustrations as well. Hardcover and great quality. As an adult, you can even take away a few things from the book. I highly recommend for little girls (and boys) of color. the grand daughters just love hearing or reading about them Parents of young brown girls, this book is simple for them to understand and know about these women who has made the way for us, the grand daughters just love hearing or reading about them!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK! It is so well written and illustrated. My daughter and I loved it so much that I bought 2 additional copies for friends. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/An-American-Plague-Audiobook/B002V0QFSI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Don't expect technical depth... I was disappointed by the book. I felt too much time was spent on the nuances of peoples lives and how they reacted to the event. It seems that the author is much more interested in the people than the topic. I get the feeling that this is just another people in crisis book within the setting of a yellow fever epidemic (and even in that light, its not particularly well done). Its not until the last 20 minutes that the author finally gets around to explaining how its spread. I thought that if the author could spend the time to patronizingly explain supply and demand economics, he could have surely bothered to take a few minutes to explain what yellow fever does to the body that actually causes the symptoms (some of the symptoms are very interesting, Id like to know why). Excellent I never knew about yellow fever's effect upon American and world history. Fascinating! A nice quick listen of information that will stay with me forever. Slow Narrator A very quick little volume despite the narrator's terrible pacing. The story itself was not that interesting and I felt there was no actual narrative arc, rather just a regurgitation of facts and news clippings. An entire book of headlines Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? No. It's monotonous. At least on audiobook. There are a lot of good pieces of information in there, but the reading is like having headlines shot at you. What was one of the most memorable moments of An American Plague? When the Black churches rose up to care for their white neighbors. I had not known that. How did the narrator detract from the book? Had Bottino read the book before he read it aloud? There are no highs and lows. It all has the same tension and tone which makes it monotonous and boring. A real feat when you are talking about the Yellow Fever and the decimation of the capital of a new country. Oi. If someone with Patrick Tull's care and patience had read it, it would have been much better. I had to stop listening. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Dear gods, no. The illnesses are described in minute detail and it's enough to turn your stomach. As it should be. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Secrets-of-a-Civil-War-Submarine-Audiobook/B002V1A272 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Written for readers in secondary school, it is a very good intro to the history, science and archeology around the sub and what is being done with it. Worth a listen. Great review of the Story and the people involved. Great review of the Huntley recovery and the Artifacts found inside.

I've never had much interest in biographies but this was well written and extremely informative. I had a lot of misconceptions about Geronimo. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Ralph Moody has always been one of my boyhood fav. Loved the Narration. Loved the story. Another excellent work by Mr. Moody. Good work, Audible! Very Engaging I was not bored for one minute. It was my first in-depth encounter with the history of Geronimo, and I was quite surprised at what kind of person he was. Geronimo This was no wheres near anything I thought it would be like. I think anyone who knows anything about the history could have written a book equal to this. I would not recomend this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/From-Slavery-to-Freedom-Audiobook/B002V1AFCE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Okay I bought this for homeschool. It was a decent read. However, after later reading a different book by this author, I do not trust the entirety of the facts given because this author's "History for Kids Christopher Columbus" book does not reveal all of the documented facts about Christopher and his intents toward the Natives of the New World. Therefore, I cannot trust that this author knows history well. It was good It was entertaining for my son and he learned a lot of history from it,and very very historical. Wallflower Yaay!! Short and sweet This is a light way of reviewing a moment in history, giving some of the basics but still in a complete narrative. Pilgrims/Mayflower I enjoy the ILLUSTRATED history books. Having history simplified is great when trying to give children some knowledge of their history. History for Kids: The Pilgrims and the Mayflower I enjoyed reading this to my kids. I will be looking for more subjects by these authors to purchase for my family. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Sterling-Point-Books-Audiobook/B002V5CUNW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A good read. An interesting look at the first English settlement in North America. Well written but not edge of your seat writing. My boys enjoyed the Sterling Point book "Swamp Fox of the Revolution" more than this particular book. Five Stars good Good History, An Engaging Book! I found this book to be a quick and easy read after the first chapter - which for some reason seemed to drag - and I think it would be a good choice for teens or adults wanting a quick introduction to Jamestown. Originally published in the 1950's (see note at bottom of review), it reads like a more modern book and does not seem dated. This is due most probably to the fact that the author derived much of her information from primary sources rather than 'trendy' secondary analysis. Certainly you can hear echoes of the colonists' words in her descriptions. In a book like this, particularly one geared for teens and young adults, the problem is usually balancing the production of an interesting story with facts and details. In this case, Ms. Hall-Quest got it right. She didn't burden the reader with too much detail, and one is just as likely to run across fun information like how many piglets were born at such-and-such a time, as a date. Likewise she doesn't engage in extensive discussion of the Virginia Charters, but rather emphasizes the challenges that the community faced, and the personality problems that cropped up. Overall I thought it was intelligently written and engaging. Rating : Very Good. Jamestown: The Perilous Adventure good book for teens or adults looking for a quick, easy introduction to the early history of Jamestown. The narrative touches upon the personality problems that figured in the settlements history, which includes both whites and indigenous peoples. There are several useful maps included. Note: First published in the 1950's the material facts have been updated although it was not clear to me by whom. The preface was written by a gentleman from the National Parks Service, so perhaps the curators at Jamestown double-checked the details.

Sadly, I found the writing both didactic and oddly padded with extraneous details. It soundeddare I say itlike a school term paper peppered with editorialized adjectives until it was long enough to be called a book. I found most of the readers slow and emotionless. The readers trade off chapters, and there was only one in the group that I found at all engaging. You'd think with such a fascinating topic to work with, the author or the readers would have been able to breathe more life into these stories. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Surrounded-by-Enemies-Audiobook/B00F8JE9ZA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Surrounded by Enemies Subtitle: What if Kennedy Survived Dallas? Author: Bryce Zabel Narrator: Edd Hall Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 09-17-13 Publisher: Stellar Productions Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: If President John Kennedy had survived the ambush at Dealey Plaza in Dallas a half-century ago, what other twists might history have taken? In his meticulously researched novel, Surrounded by Enemies: What If Kennedy Survived Dallas, author Bryce Zabel delivers a supercharged but plausible alternative narrative of the turbulent 1960s after our charismatic president escapes unscathed on November 22, 1963. Since the assassination, other writers have speculated about the important work for peace and equality that President Kennedy could have done had his life been spared. Instead, Zabel - a Writers Guild award-winning Hollywood writer/producer - boldly re-imagines a shocking post-1963 political scenario that is painfully disruptive to the nation, culminating in a Constitutional crisis and even calls for the president's impeachment. Without resorting to sci-fi gimmicks, Zabel instead investigates and explores what we now know about the underbelly of JFK's presidency to portray him returning to a very different Washington, D.C. where the stakes are high on so many fronts. After all, someone had just tried to execute him in broad daylight on a public street in front of a national television audience. The President and his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, essentially become the first conspiracy theorists, determined to strike back at their formidable and determined enemies. This is not a time-travel story with a protagonist sent back to save JFK. It is not a rose-colored glasses look at an idealized "what if," Instead we get a hard look at the dark secrets of the Kennedy administration - and of those who have the motive and means to brutally remove him from office, including government insiders at the CIA, FBI, Secret Service and even suspects such as Vice President Lyndon Johnson. The provocative and compelling narrative covers the period from Kennedy's near-miss in Dallas through the subsequent political earthquake of 1964-1966. Zabel's novel is cleverly presented as a commemorative retrospective assembled by contemporaneous journalists on the staff of a fictitious newsmagazine, Top Story -- and incorporates into the narrative realistically designed faux-magazine covers depicting JFK with those luminaries he gets to meet only in Zabel's parallel universe. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Bryce Zabel) Tue, 17 Sep 2013 09:54:19 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Surrounded-by-Enemies-Audiobook/B00F8JE9ZA thebookvoice.com 08:17:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: It could have been something.... Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? No, given all the other JFK related books, even Steven King's bizarre take on the subject, take this potentially meaty subject and really develop it. What was most disappointing about Bryce Zabels story? He didn't focus on any of the key subjects like Vietnam and Civil Rights that could have been so interesting to speculate on. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/MLK-Speaks-A-50th-Anniversary-Limited-Edition-Collection-Audiobook/B00F48JOU0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: MLK Speaks: A 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Collection Subtitle: Entire Collection Author: Martin Luther King Narrator: Martin Luther King Format: Original Recording Length: 3 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 09-11-13 Publisher: Intellect Inspire Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the Co-Founding President of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957. Found in the archives at the SCLC were eight never before heard audio works of Dr. King in which he prophetically articulates his vision for a better America and world. These unique messages are the embodiment of his cause of justice, jobs and freedom. For the first time ever, these messages are being released to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The title of this message is "Entire Collection". The very beginnings of the SCLC can be traced back to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The Montgomery Bus Boycott began on December 5, 1955 after Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on the bus. The boycott lasted for 381 days and ended on December 21, 1956, with the desegregation of the Montgomery bus system. The boycott was carried out by the newly established Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA). Martin Luther King, Jr. served as President and Ralph David Abernathy served as Program Director. It was one of historys most dramatic and massive nonviolent protests, stunning the nation and the world. The boycott was also a signal to Black America to begin a new phase of the long struggle, a phase that came to be known as the modern civil rights movement. As bus boycotts spread across the South, leaders of the MIA and other protest groups met in Atlanta on January 10 11, 1957, to form a regional organization and coordinate protest activities across the South. Despite a bombing of the home and church of Ralph David Abernathy during the Atlanta meeting, 60 persons from 10 states assembled and announced the founding of the Southern Leadership Conference on Transportation and Nonviolent Integration. They issued a document declaring that civil rights are essential to democracy, that segregation must end, and that all Black people should reject segregation absolutely and nonviolently. Further organizing was done at a meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana on February 14, 1957. The organization shortened its name to Southern Leadership Conference, established an Executive Board of Directors, and elected officers, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as President, Dr. Ralph David Abernathy as Financial Secretary-Treasurer, Rev. C. K. Steele of Tallahassee, Florida as Vice President, Rev. T. J. Jemison of Baton Rouge, Louisiana as Secretary, and Attorney I. M. Augustine of New Orleans, Louisiana as General Counsel. At its first convention in Montgomery in August 1957, the Southern Leadership Conference adopted the current name, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Basic decisions made by the founders at these early meeting included the adoption of nonviolent mass action as the cornerstone of strategy, the affiliation of local community organizations with SCLC across the South, and a determination to make the SCLC movement open to all, regardless of race, religion, or background. SCLC is a now a nationwide organization made up of chapters and affiliates with programs that affect the lives of all Americans: north, south, east and west. Its sphere of influence and interests has become international in scope because the human rights movement transcends national boundaries. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Martin Luther King) Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:27:00 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/MLK-Speaks-A-50th-Anniversary-Limited-Edition-Collection-Audiobook/B00F48JOU0 thebookvoice.com 03:46:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: Quite Good A very good dramatized telling of the battle of Gettysburg. It was given in a new perspective through the radio format. Great prelude to battlefield visit Educational and entertaining. We listened on our drive to visit Gettysburg. Was a worthwhile investment and made the battlefield come to life. good stuff i enjoyed the sort of first person look at history. well worth a listen. recommend Exhilarating I could not stop listening. As a civil war buff, this was fantastic ! Thank you for this great work!! L Could have been better without the cursing... What did you love best about Gettysburg: A Radio Dramatization? It could have been the best audiobook for 6th - 8th grade but it was spoiled with too much cursing for a homeschool library. You expect there to be violence but not the foul language. The radio drama was amazing and accurate otherwise! Grant it there were no f-bombs but plenty of Damn, Hell, or G-d....sad I must return it. I hope the whole series is not like this :( It seems to be made for young listeners but then...ok...this horse is dead! What other book might you compare Gettysburg: A Radio Dramatization to and why? I thought it would be very much like the series by Jerry Robbins called Powder River and it could have been. THAT was a western with shoot-em-up stuff and still it did not have all the cursing. Any additional comments? It would be great if AUDIBLE.COM offered a rating system for parents and teachers like the movie and TV industry has.

This epic narrative tells America's story through the voices of those who lived it - presidents and farmers, mothers and children, settlers and soldiers, slaves and Indians. The series celebrates the country's achievements but also examines its paradoxes by investigating three abiding themes of American life: empire, liberty and faith. Empire of Liberty: from the arrival of Native Americans from Asia to the slave trade and the forced relocation of the Indians, the first series describes how the United States expanded to cover a whole continent, laying the foundations of a superpower - if the country could remain united. Power & Progress: the second series depicts the tragedy and heroism of the Civil War (1861-65), which finally ended slavery - though not racial discrimination - and the dynamism of the reunited nation as it grew into an industrial giant. America's role in the Second World War is also examined. Empire & Evil: the final series chronicles America's long struggle with the Soviet Union and examines the effect of that confrontation on American values, particularly in Vietnam and Watergate. The country's struggle to overcome its racist past led from the civil rights movement to its first black president. Also examined is the impact of Elvis on popular music, the battle over abortion and the story of the personal computer and the information revolution. biacuaduc@gmail.com (David Reynolds) Fri, 14 Jul 2017 09:47:16 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/America-Empire-of-Liberty-Audiobook/B071X7SCQH thebookvoice.com 20:34:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Yuck. Don't waste your time. Love the Lewis & Clark adventure. Hate this attempt to modernize it by sending very bad radio reporters around the country to gather insights about the expedition. Not what I expected but ... Any additional comments? I was looking for first hand accounts of undeveloped North America through the eyes of the first Europeans to see it. There was only a little of that, but as I learned it is because there was never much of that recorded. Lewis was supposed to write a book but never did, so there are only journals he and others made which are thin in details and descriptions. Instead this 'book' (a public radio series in fact) provides a lot of interesting and expert views on the journey, and what they did and did not accomplish. There was also a lot of perspective on the impact of the encounters and what followed on the native people and their way of life. I found this fascinating, sad, and very thought provoking. Enjoyed it Any additional comments? Liked all the variety -- it included readings from the journals, interviews with many experts, music, interpretations on the significance of the events, and more. An enjoyable listening experience. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Mr-President-Audiobook/B071VGHTGL Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: 3: JFK Homicide Author: Brent Holland Narrator: Brent Holland Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 11-17-16 Publisher: World Wide Multi Media Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy was perhaps the most well-known American president in history. JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, and Lee Harvey Oswald was thought to be the lone gunman. When the FBI and the Warren Commission officially concluded that Oswald was the lone assassin, its report was sharply criticized. Many experts feel there were additional shooters involved. In this fascinating presentation, experience the riveting testimony of three individuals that were there on that fateful day. Dr. Robert McClelland - The surgeon who worked on JFK and on Lee Harvey Oswald. Imagine having the opportunity to speak with the doctor who worked on Abraham Lincoln. He tells us of Jackie's reactions in Trauma Room one and of the discrepancies of the wounds he witnessed on JFK and the official autopsy photos. James Tague - The third person wounded in Dealey Plaza that day along with JFK and Governor Connolly. Tague became inadvertently responsible for The Magic Bullet Theory. Standing unassumingly near the triple underpass watching the motorcade, Tague became wounded by a ricochet. Many today are completely unaware of his story. This is the gripping full account, in his own words. Beverly Oliver - Ms. Oliver witnessed the fatal head shot and can be clearly seen in all film footage of the assassination. She reveals how the FBI confiscated her Super 8 camera because she may have filmed the shooter on the Grassy Knoll and discloses that death threats were made against her if she spoke out. Beverly Oliver knew Jack Ruby personally, and witnessed Lee Harvey Oswald and Mafia/CIA operative David Ferrie together at The Carousel Club before the assassination. She tells behind the scenes stories of the movie JFK when she was on the set with Oliver Stone and Kevin Costner. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Brent Holland) Thu, 17 Nov 2016 13:47:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/3-JFK-Homicide-Audiobook/B01N40YXGT thebookvoice.com 01:10:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: 3: JFK Homicide Author: Brent Holland Narrator: Brent Holland Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 11-17-16 Publisher: World Wide Multi Media Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy was perhaps the most well-known American president in history. JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, and Lee Harvey Oswald was thought to be the lone gunman. When the FBI and the Warren Commission officially concluded that Oswald was the lone assassin, its report was sharply criticized. Many experts feel there were additional shooters involved. In this fascinating presentation, experience the riveting testimony of three individuals that were there on that fateful day. Dr. Robert McClelland - The surgeon who worked on JFK and on Lee Harvey Oswald. Imagine having the opportunity to speak with the doctor who worked on Abraham Lincoln. He tells us of Jackie's reactions in Trauma Room one and of the discrepancies of the wounds he witnessed on JFK and the official autopsy photos. James Tague - The third person wounded in Dealey Plaza that day along with JFK and Governor Connolly. Tague became inadvertently responsible for The Magic Bullet Theory.

Title: A Secret History Subtitle: The Making of America Author: John Adama Narrator: Philip Gardiner, O.H. Krill Format: Original Recording Length: 59 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-14 Publisher: Sector 5 Films Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: America, a land of extremes, where wealth and poverty walk side-by-side. Thousands of amazing cities of light, full of multi-ethnic individuals all chasing the dream. Wild frontiers of natural beauty and danger. The world's biggest, smallest, loudest, and fastest of everything. Incredible landscapes, incredible people, incredible history. A place where freedom of speech, thought, religion, and politics are espoused and held dear. But is America truly the home of the brave and the land of the free? John F. Kennedy once said: "The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings." But is this really the truth? Is America the nation, the result of just a series of events or is it part of some grand design from some even grander architect? In A Secret History, we uncover the true origin of the United States of America and explore the occult origins of its signs and symbols - discovering that Freemasonic and Illuminati secret societies are responsible for how we live our daily lives in this modern world. Discover the ruling elite who have been orchestrating the world we know for centuries and who sparked a global revolution and created the most powerful nation on the planet - a grand design put into action and still present today. biacuaduc@gmail.com (John Adama) Mon, 22 Dec 2014 21:01:11 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/A-Secret-History-Audiobook/B00R8NKGM4 thebookvoice.com 00:59:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Magic Box Author: Richard Paul Narrator: Barbara Bogaev, Richard Paul Format: Original Recording Length: 27 mins Language: English Release date: 04-03-17 Publisher: Soundprint Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Today, the computer in the classroom is ubiquitous. But how did it get there? Was it an organic process, or was it driven by manufacturers looking for a new place to push their machines? Turns out it was a little of both altruism and profit. Hear from some of the people who started it all. Two teachers in the 1960s and 70s were among the very first to use computers in the American classroom: Dale LaFrenz in Minneapolis and Sylvia Charp in Philadelphia. IBMs Peter Dean and Apples Greg Mangini explain the marketing strategy of the two prime providers. Self-proclaimed guerrilla teacher Lisa Loop tells us how she opened one of the first community centers to give students after-school access. And IBMs Tom Greaves reminds us about the first multi-media computer introduced to teachers and students. "The Magic Box" is part of Soundprint mini-series called The Education Connection, supported in part by the U.S. Department of Education. The series examines the early introduction of technology into the classroom.

Title: One Family in a Kansas Town Author: Steve Lickteig Narrator: Barbara Bogaev, Steve Lickteig Format: Original Recording Length: 27 mins Language: English Release date: 04-03-17 Publisher: Soundprint Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: In 1990, Smith County, Kansas, where Lebanon is located, was a thriving region. By the late 1990s the population had dwindled to 4,500, having suffered a drop of 150% in 100 years. If this trend continued, Smith County and Lebanon would essentially disappear. When Jim Rightner and his wife, Christine, came to town, they planned to retire there, ready for small town life. During his first day in town, Jim decided to change things. Before long it became a perfect model of small town America. Lebanon proved to be a town willing, in part, to accept this man's dream if it meant surviving. As we learn more about his grand plan, we begin to learn more about what drives him, and what's really behind his dream to rebuild Lebanon, Kansas.

Title: Going Clear Subtitle: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief Author: Lawrence Wright Narrator: Morton Sellers Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 01-17-13 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3452 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: A clear-sighted revelation, a deep penetration into the world of Scientology by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the The Looming Tower, the now-classic study of al-Qaedas 9/11 attack. Based on more than 200 personal interviews with both current and former Scientologists - both famous and less well known - and years of archival research, Lawrence Wright uses his extraordinary investigative ability to uncover for us the inner workings of the Church of Scientology. At the books center, two men whom Wright brings vividly to life, showing how they have made Scientology what it is today: The darkly brilliant science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, whose restless, expansive mind invented a new religion. And his successor, David Miscavige - tough and driven, with the unenviable task of preserving the church after the death of Hubbard. We learn about Scientologys complicated cosmology and special language. We see the ways in which the church pursues celebrities, such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta, and how such stars are used to advance the churchs goals. And we meet the young idealists who have joined the Sea Org, the churchs clergy, signing up with a billion-year contract. In Going Clear, Wright examines what fundamentally makes a religion a religion, and whether Scientology is, in fact, deserving of this constitutional protection. Employing all his exceptional journalistic skills of observation, understanding, and shaping a story into a compelling narrative, Lawrence Wright has given us an evenhanded yet keenly incisive book that reveals the very essence of what makes Scientology the institution it is. Critic Reviews: Brings a clear-eyed, investigative fearlessness to Scientology . . . a rollicking, if deeply creepy, narrative ride, evidence that truth can be stranger even than science fiction." (The Washington Post) A hotly compelling read. Its a minutiae-packed book full of wild stories. (The New York Times) An utterly necessary story. . . . A feat of reporting.

(The Wall Street Journal) Members Reviews: Scared the Hell Out of Me This book should be required reading/listening. The book seems to be very even handed in that, even in the closing words, the author balances his findings with a response from the organization. Still, in spite of Church of Scientology denials, there is just too much evidence of very dangerous behavior. Germany got it right. You know, I am a little fearful in posting this because Scientology strikes me as so dangerous and vindictive. This is the Audible book I had to stop frequently because it is just so disturbing. Not for the Faint of Heart Any additional comments? I expected this work of non-fiction to be quite bizarre, and I wasn't disappointed. What I wasn't expecting, however, was the intense ugliness that characterized this cult and its founder. Though this book is very well researched and very well written, it is far from pleasant. It's information that needs to be made public, however, and I highly recommend it.The narrator, by the way, is very good. I have listened to several books read by him, and would gladly listen to more. Shockingly Great This was a great book. I really found myself unable to put this down. I somewhat expected a dry, one sided, hatchet job. Instead this was detailed story starting with the early life of the clearly troubled founder of Scientology and continuing to the present day. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Americas-Original-Sin-Audiobook/B01CRD31VW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: America's Original Sin Subtitle: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America Author: Jim Wallis Narrator: Patrick Lawlor Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 80 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: America's problem with race has deep roots, with the country's foundation tied to the near extermination of one race of people and the enslavement of another. Racism is truly our nation's original sin. "It's time we right this unacceptable wrong", says best-selling author and leading Christian activist Jim Wallis. Fifty years ago, Wallis was driven away from his faith by a white church that considered dealing with racism to be taboo. His participation in the civil rights movement brought him back when he discovered a faith that commands racial justice. Yet as recent tragedies confirm, we continue to suffer from the legacy of racism. The old patterns of white privilege are colliding with the changing demographics of a diverse nation. The church has been slow to respond, and Sunday morning is still the most segregated hour of the week. In America's Original Sin, Wallis offers a prophetic and deeply personal call to action in overcoming the racism so ingrained in American society. He speaks candidly to Christians - particularly white Christians - urging them to cross a new bridge toward racial justice and healing.

Critic Reviews: "A thought-provoking plea to white evangelicals and white Christians in general." (Library Journal) Members Reviews: Raced in America - so true! Wallis writes honestly and from experience. The phrase, "raced is America," hit home for me. His writing has a unique quality that takes a bit of getting used to, however once you do, he's even more poignant. Strong Presentation of Good Information I understand more about racism and it's affect by this work, and that alone is worth the read. I do not like the preachy tenor of the book. There is a tendency of some religious people to think their analysis, conclusions, and solutions to problems are the only version of the facts .. but, tho the opinions of the author are quite valid, there are other possible solution senerios to a complex situation such as our national culture of racism. Convicting and thought provoking I don't really want to get involved in politics and believe myself to have some lingering prejudices but am mostly supportive of immigrants and their rights and plights. I don't feel like I push a white agenda but this book makes me realize that I am part of the race problem because I do benefit just from being white and not acting against the broken systems we have. We all need to get active against bad policies and stop allowing white privilege to oppress non-whites. The narrator did an excellent job but I felt the tone of his voice was kind of angry. Maybe that is a what is needed, but i didn't like that the whole book was read with that tone. Informative but poorly performed I learned a lot from this book, and it gave me new perspectives on race, racism, and American culture. I did not enjoy the narration by Patrick Lawlor. He constantly over-emphasized, perhaps attempting to convey the exigency of the text's topic, but ending up making every sentence seem like a matter of life or death. A fuller range of vocalization and emphasis would have made for much easier listening. "We all want...." We all want an education, a job, a family. Thank you Jim.

Members Reviews: Loved the content. Reading was clear and strong. This book is good for the novice to expert history buff or even those who have never explored much of history. It discusses the ways America has been guided and protected by God as a vanguard of freedom for the world. insperational loved learning about our country. not a history buff and sometimes struggled to keep up. I'll be listening to this one over and over. the last chapter of the book is very important. I listened to it twice. God Bless America and the righteous. Thought Provoking Gratitude Promoting Thought provoking connections of true historic events. If history is the story of our lives, it's often beneficial to look at how individual stories link together and impact our lives. In a day of political divisiveness, apathy, unrest and cynicism, it was nice to read a book that reminds all Americans that one event does contribute to a larger often unseen picture. A must for all Americans This book provides historical appreciation of how grateful we all should be be Americans that we may better guide our future. Not as good as Peter Marshall's Light and Glory Did not finish this book. Seemed to plod along. Looking for a more concise read or one that more completely dramatized the events documented. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Civil-War-as-a-Theological-Crisis-Audiobook/B004705VIK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Civil War as a Theological Crisis Author: Mark A. Noll Narrator: Marc Cashman Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 10-13-10 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 50 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: The Civil War was a major turning point in American religious thought, argues Mark A. Noll. Although Christian believers agreed with one another that the Bible was authoritative and that it should be interpreted through commonsense principles, there was rampant disagreement about what Scripture taught about slavery. Furthermore, most Americans continued to believe that God ruled over the affairs of people and nations, but they were radically divided in their interpretations of what God was doing in and through the war.In addition to examining what white and black Americans wrote about slavery and race, Noll surveys commentary from foreign observers. Protestants and Catholics in Europe and Canada saw clearly that no matter how much the voluntary reliance on scriptural authority had contributed to the construction of national civilization, if there were no higher religious authority than personal interpretation regarding an issue as contentious as slavery, the resulting public deadlock would amount to a full-blown theological crisis. By highlighting this theological conflict, Noll adds to our understanding of not only the origins but also the intensity of the Civil War. The book is published by University of North Carolina Press.

This slim work of history is surprisingly timely." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: An important work Noll does an excellent job of handling the theological positions and presuppositions involved in exegesis of slavery in antebellum America. This is not just a direct history; I have been thoroughly impressed with Noll's understanding of historical theology that informs his work. I was impressed at points such as when he dealt with the inconsistency of a pro-slavery position in Reformed theology that did not allow for a bifurcation between the nation of Israel and the US at the time. Warning: this is not the type of book you listen to while surfing the internet or perhaps more thought intensive tasks. I caught myself "drifting" a few times if I did not focus on the reading. Great book; thanks Dr. Noll! As far as the narrator, I think this is the first I have listened to him. He did mispronounce Karl Barth and George Whitefield's name and a few others. Not a big deal, but sort of sounds like nails scraping a chalk board to a theologian :) Shaun Price, PhD student, Practical Theology, University of Aberdeen Nice addition to History of U.S. Religious Culture Any additional comments? Religion plays such a pivotal role in American history, and the 19th Century in particular was an age of great religious foment; yet the role that religion played in the civil War isn't much discussed. this book may have started out as a Doctoral Thesis, or a scholarly piece, but it's very readable and well-written. Comprehensive and Exhaustive A comprehensive and exhaustive review and analysis of theological views about slavery before and during the Civil War. Noll's findings are often surprising and immensely insightful. Cultural blind spots affect our reading There are very few books I have recommended more over the past year or so than Mark Nolls The Civil War as Theological Crisis. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Color-of-Christ-Audiobook/B009D2M572 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Color of Christ Subtitle: The Son of God and the Saga of Race in America Author: Edward J. Blum, Paul Harvey Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 09-21-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: How is it that in America the image of Jesus Christ has been used both to justify the atrocities of white supremacy and to inspire the righteousness of civil rights crusades? InThe Color of Christ, Edward J. Blum and Paul Harvey weave a tapestry of American dreams and visions - from witch hunts to web pages, Harlem to Hollywood, slave cabins to South Park, Mormon revelations to Indian reservations - to show how Americans visually remade the Son of God time and again into a sacred symbol of their greatest aspirations, deepest terrors, and mightiest strivings for racial power and justice. The Color of Christuncovers how, in a country founded by Puritans who destroyed depictions of Jesus, Americans came to believe in the whiteness of Christ. Some envisioned a white Christ who would sanctify the exploitation of Native Americans and African Americans and bless imperial expansion. Many others pictured a messiah, not necessarily white, who was willing and able to confront white supremacy. The color of Christ still symbolizes Americas most combustible divisions, revealing the power and malleability of race and religion from colonial times to the presidency of Barack Obama. Edward J. Blum, a professor at San Diego State University, is an award-winning author of several books on race, religion, politics, and culture in United States history. Critic Reviews: In this powerful and groundbreaking book, historians Blum and Harvey examine how images of Jesus reflect the intersection of race and religion in America. Blending historical analysis, lucid prose, and captivating primary sources, Blum and Harvey trace the remaking of Jesus from Puritan America to antebellum slave cabins, from Joseph Smiths revelations to Obamas presidency. The authors compellingly argue that Christs body matters, that it signifies power, reflects national fears and evolving conceptions of whiteness, and perpetuates racial hierarchies by continuously reifying the idea that whiteness is sacredThey masterfully probe how a sacred icon can be a tool at once of racial oppression and liberation. A must-read for those interested in American religious history, this book will forever change the way you look at images of Jesus." ( Publisher's Weekly) biacuaduc@gmail.com (Edward J.

( Publisher's Weekly) Members Reviews: Not worth the read Non-white male chiming in here! 11 Chapters in...I finally had to stop. To say that this book is redundant is a major understatement. The crux of the book is as follows:: White people construct white images of Jesus to oppress non-whites. In all fairness Blum and Harvey take a few jabs at Native Americans for doing the same, but otherwise the major culprits here are white people. As a non-white, I clearly understand, and have been affected, by the dangers of positing God as a white man. The danger of taking Blum, and Harvey's position however, is that they relegate religion to a social phenomenon, and Jesus Christ to an extension of one races grab for power. If this is all Christianity and Christ is, the real miracle is that Christianity still exists. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Faiths-of-the-Founding-Fathers-Audiobook/B00HVN76KG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

James Moore Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 01-20-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 26 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: It is not uncommon to hear Christians argue that America was founded as a Christian nation. But how true is this claim? In this compact audiobook, David L. Holmes offers a clear, concise and illuminating look at the spiritual beliefs of our founding fathers. He begins with an informative account of the religious culture of the late colonial era, surveying the religious groups in each colony. In particular, he sheds light on the various forms of deism that flourished in America, highlighting the profound influence this intellectual movement had on the founding generation. Holmes then examines the individual beliefs of a variety of men and women who loom large in our national history. He finds that some, like Martha Washington, Samuel Adams, John Jay, Patrick Henry, and Thomas Jefferson's daughters, held orthodox Christian views. But many of the most influential figures, including Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John and Abigail Adams, Jefferson, James and Dolley Madison, and James Monroe, were believers of a different stripe. Respectful of Christianity, they admired the ethics of Jesus, and believed that religion could play a beneficial role in society. But they tended to deny the divinity of Christ, and a few seem to have been agnostic about the very existence of God. Although the founding fathers were religious men, Holmes shows that it was a faith quite unlike the Christianity of today's evangelicals. Holmes concludes by examining the role of religion in the lives of the presidents since World War II and by reflecting on the evangelical resurgence that helped fuel the reelection of George W. Bush. An intriguing look at a neglected aspect of our history, this audiobook will appeal to American history buffs as well as to anyone concerned about the role of religion in American culture. biacuaduc@gmail.com (David L.

Title: American Religious History Author: The Great Courses Narrator: Professor Patrick N. Allitt Format: Original Recording Length: 12 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 07-08-13 Publisher: The Great Courses Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 151 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Have you ever wondered why America, unlike virtually any other industrial nation, continues to show so much religious vitality? Or why are the varieties of religion found in the United States are so numerous and diverse? In this vigorous series of 24 lectures, Professor Allitt argues that the best way to look for explanations of this truly remarkable vitality and diversity is to study the nation's religious history. That's a task, though, that involves more than simply examining religion from the directions you might expect, including its formal beliefs, its ideas, its communal or institutional loyalties, and its styles of worship. It also requires looking at religion's influence on life "beyond the pews" - investigating the subtle but important links that have long brought religion into close contact with the intellectual, social, economic, and political concerns of Americans, such as Martin Luther King Jr. using a mixture of biblical references and appeals to patriotism to press the case for civil rights. The lectures also address American religion as a sensory experience - a phenomenon whose deep spiritual and social meanings can in part be seen in the design of churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples; heard in the sounds of hymns, prayers, and chants; smelled in Catholic or Buddhist incense, or even tasted, as you discover when you learn why the casserole may be the most "Protestant" of all dishes!

Would you listen to American Religious History again? Why? I never would have sought out this course, but I picked it up on a whim, based entirely upon the reviews on The Great Courses website. I must say thank you to all the reviewers, because I found this to be one of the most delightful and captivating of the 30+ Great Courses I've listened to. Any additional comments? Professor Allitt is completely engaging, and packs each lecture with great portraits of historical significance, entertaining anecdotes, and recommendations for continued reading. His enthusiasm for the subject is evident throughout, and his ability to help one view the U.S. through an outsider's perspective (he's British) makes him a modern day de Tocqueville. If I had any complaint, it might be that non-western religions get very little attention. However, that very well may be the proper proportion given the dominance of judeo-christian religions in U.S. history. Do not hesitate to listen to this course. It's a guaranteed winner. Excellent overview I've always been curious about religious roots in the US and Prf Allitt provides a chronological account with interesting anecdotes about the many religious flavors. Good read Pretty good book. I especially liked the first half. The second half he got into comparative religious teaching and the introduction of Darwin's theory of evolution and it is easy to tell that he sides on the secular view vs the Biblical view. Also, the first half I felt the topics were covered in a brief but thorough way. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Under-God-Audiobook/B002V8DENO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I never thought I would find. So happy to have found on Amazon! Under God, patriots you probably never knew I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Included are stories about individual patriotism and the outstanding, almost supernatural courage that drove common people to do uncommonly great and unselfish things that resulted in America's grand experience. The first stories were a mix of those individuals we have heard bits of information about at some point in our history learning: individuals of all races, all pressing for freedom and independence. Toward the end of the book, the majority of the pages were dedicated to little known Afro-American patriots who, in the face of threats and great fear for their own lives, accomplished great and enduring things that have positively served every American today: white, black, red, brown or yellow. This is a must read for Americans who have thus far in their education, only heard the stories of the white patriots. We whites are simply NOT the chosen ones. We are ALL God's children, All Americans, ALL free and ALL must have the same access to our freedoms, rights and responsibilities. Under God I realy enjoyed this book. I ordered them for my grandaughters for Christmas. Our great country was founded on religious principles and we have strayed so far off that mark it makes me want to cry. Even if you don't believe in God, give it a try. The history of our country is told in such a manner that you can't help enjoying it. Sharon C. Jones Another excellent resource on the 'real' history of the United States ... Another excellent resource on the 'real' history of the United States AND the research done by Toby Mac is exceptional!! I will have to check for additional used copies for new friends.

Title: Polygamy on the Pedernales Subtitle: Lyman Wight's Mormon Village in Antebellum Texas Author: Melvin C Johnson Narrator: Don Coltrane Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 12-28-13 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: In the wake of Joseph Smith Jr.s murder in 1844, his following splintered, and some allied themselves with a maverick Mormon apostle, Lyman Wight. Sometimes called the "Wild Ram of Texas," Wight took his splinter group to frontier Texas, a destination to which Smith, before his murder, had considered moving his followers, who were increasingly unwelcome in the Midwest. He had instructed Wight to take a small band of church members from Wisconsin to establish a Texas colony that would prepare the ground for a mass migration of the membership. Having received these orders directly from Smith, Wight did not believe the formers death changed their significance. If anything, he felt all the more responsible for fulfilling what he believed was a prophets intention. Antagonism with Brigham Young and the other LDS apostles grew, and Wight refused to join with them or move to their new gathering place in Utah. He and his small congregation pursued their own destiny, becoming an interesting component of the Texas frontier, where they had a significant economic role as early millers and cowboys and a political one as a buffer with the Comanches. Their social and religious practices shared many of the idiosyncracies of the larger Mormon sect, including polygamous marriages, temple rites, and economic cooperatives. Wight was a charismatic but authoritarian and increasingly odd figure, in part because of chemical addictions. His death in 1858 while leading his shrinking number of followers on yet one more migration brought an effective end to his independent church. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Melvin C Johnson) Sat, 28 Dec 2013 17:37:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Polygamy-on-the-Pedernales-Audiobook/B00HJA7LOC thebookvoice.com 08:07:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Lyman Wight former apostle It was an interesting book to read and sorry but the author is greatly mistaken the followers of Lyman Wight did not build the first "Mormon Temple" east of the Mississippi River. Just a church building where temple ordinances were performed but it was nice to read. I loved this book I loved this book. I'm a Mormon living in Central Texas so it held extra interest for me, although I think it would be interesting to anyone interested in Mormon history or even just American religious history. Johnson manages to be thorough and readable at the same time. I listened to the audio version and it was great. I enjoyed it. It has a lot of early family ... I enjoyed it. It has a lot of early family history. I loaned it and never got it back. I need to order another one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Revelation-Resistance-and-Mormon-Polygamy-Audiobook/B00JJ0TEIG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Revelation, Resistance, and Mormon Polygamy Subtitle: The Introduction and Implementation of the Principle, 1830-1853 Author: Merina Smith Narrator: Lisa Baney Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 04-08-14 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: In Revelation, Resistance, and Mormon Polygamy, historian Merina Smith explores the introduction of polygamy in Nauvoo, a development that unfolded amid scandal and resistance. Smith considers the ideological, historical, and even psychological elements of the process and captures the emotional and cultural detail of this exciting and volatile period in Mormon history. She illuminates the mystery of early adherents' acceptance of such a radical form of marriage in light of their dedication to the accepted monogamous marriage patterns of their day. When Joseph Smith began to reveal and teach the doctrine of plural marriage in 1841, even stalwart members like Brigham Young were shocked and confused. In this thoughtful study, Smith argues that the secret introduction of plural marriage among the leadership coincided with an evolving public theology that provided a contextualizing religious narrative that persuaded believers to accept the principle. This fresh interpretation draws on diaries, letters, newspapers, and other primary sources and is especially effective in its use of family narratives. It will be of great interest not only to scholars and the general public interested in Mormon history but in American history, religion, gender and sexuality, and the history of marriage and families. Critic Reviews: Others, including myself, have never adequately explained the emergence of polygamy ideologically. Smith does so brilliantly, meticulously tracing the factors that overcame resistance to the doctrine among the LDS faithful. She made it possible for me to understand my own ancestors' rationale in adopting a way of life that so offended their Victorian sensibilities.

(Janet Bennion, author of Polygamy in Primetime) Members Reviews: Best Mormon read of the year. Would you listen to Revelation, Resistance, and Mormon Polygamy again? Why? yes What other book might you compare Revelation, Resistance, and Mormon Polygamy to and why? Brigham Young, Turner What about Lisa Baneys performance did you like? A good recording stays out of the way of a good listen. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Staggering that this is the beginning of my religion. Any additional comments? This is a great story never told, at least in audio. All Mormons need to read this and see what really happened in Nauvoo and the later effects of that period into Utah. This book was so interesting in creating a narrative to the origin and the playing out of events in the story of polygamy. Sterile sociological treatise taken out of context I found this book to be an informative sociological study, but discussing a religious topic without reference to faith is a little like discussing the swimming without acknowledging that water is a main component. The Narrator was also almost mocking in her tone which was annoying! Enlightening read for Mormons and non-Mormons Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? It wouldn't be my first pick. Certain friends, maybe. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? It's not a story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Kingdom-of-Matthias-Audiobook/B00CHQVUHW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Kingdom of Matthias Subtitle: A Story of Sex and Salvation in 19th-Century America Author: Paul E. Johnson, Sean Wilentz Narrator: Noah Michael Levine Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 05-06-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: In the autumn of 1834, New York City was awash with rumors of a strange religious cult operating nearby, centered around a mysterious, self-styled prophet named Matthias. It was said that Matthias the Prophet was stealing money from one of his followers; then came reports of lascivious sexual relations, based on odd teachings of matched spirits, apostolic priesthoods, and the inferiority of women. At its climax, the rumors transformed into legal charges, as the Prophet was arrested for the murder of a once highly regarded Christian gentleman who had fallen under his sway. By the time the story played out, it became one of the nation's first penny-press sensations, casting a peculiar but revealing light on the sexual and spiritual tensions of the day. In The Kingdom of Matthias, the distinguished historians Paul Johnson and Sean Wilentz brilliantly recapture this forgotten story, imbuing their richly researched account with the dramatic force of a novel. In this book, the strange tale of Matthias the Prophet provides a fascinating window into the turbulent movements of the religious revival known as the Second Great Awakening - movements which swept up great numbers of evangelical Americans and gave rise to new sects like the Mormons. Into this teeming environment walked a down-and-out carpenter named Robert Matthews, who announced himself as Matthias, prophet of the God of the Jews. His hypnotic spell drew in a cast of unforgettable characters - the meekly devout businessman Elijah Pierson, who once tried to raise his late wife from the dead; the young attractive Christian couple, Benjamin Folger and his wife, Ann (who seduced the woman-hating Prophet); and the shrewd ex-slave Isabella Van Wagenen, regarded by some as "the most wicked of the wicked". None was more colorful than the Prophet himself, a bearded, thundering tyrant who gathered his followers into an absolutist household, using their money to buy an elaborate, eccentric wardrobe, and reordering their marital relations. By the time the tensions within the kingdom exploded into a clash with the law, Matthias had become a national scandal. In the hands of Johnson and Wilentz, the strange tale of the Prophet and his kingdom comes vividly to life, recalling scenes from recent experiences at Jonestown and Waco. They also reveal much about a formative period in American history, showing the connections among rapid economic change, sex and race relations, politics, popular culture, and the rich varieties of American religious experience. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Paul E.

Five Stars Interesting info on Sojourner Truth.

If you are interested in Christianity, Judaism, Native American traditions, Southwest history or archeology, this book by an expert in epigraphy and historical monuments will fascinate you! Members Reviews: Quetzalcoatls Cave and the Mysterious Stone What could these two places possibly have in common? Donald Panther-Yates takes us on a personal hike to visit these sites in New Mexico. Deep off the beaten path in New Mexico is the Los Lunas Decalogue Stone that is encrypted with the Old Testament version of the Ten Commandments. Written in ancient Hebrew script, it has been dated to 1000 BCE thereabouts.Its location is known to very few. There are no maps nor directions given on how to find it. You have to know someone to take you there. Despite that the Stone has been desecrated since his visit. How sad such a thing occurs. But there are many reasons this happens and has been repeated centuries since such finds because Academic Folks, and other Activist just dont want to admit that seafaring people have been visiting our continent for 100s and 1000s of years. Yates takes us through an unlikely and unknown history of the Phoenicians. Minoans and Romans. Their knowledge that our lands were here. The Trade among Ancient Europeans and Ancient Americans. Chapter 2, on p12 The facts pouring in from every side bring us to the general conclusion that ancient American civilization was stimulated by transoceanic contacts from the east and west, among them contacts with the Mediterranean were especially creative. Besides taking us to the Southwest, In Chapter 5, Yates takes us among the Maya, one of the earliest Indians with a written language. They used Phoenician Scripts. One of their Myths are about a bearded white man with a wizard (pointed hat) who came among them and brought culture. He was called Quetzalcoatl (feathered serpent). He is illustrated in their temples. He promised to return, so the Maya were forever looking for him. When the Spanish first came they made a grave error in thinking they were represented by him, losing their culture and world altogether. Other writers have speculated and wrote about this being Prince Madoc and his expeditions. Anyway, Yates and his wife Teresa take us on a hike to the Bandelier National Monument To Quetzalcoatls Cave. There are signs it is his tomb. Could it be? Yates tells us more about this characters legends. In addition he discusses Mayas Jewish apparent Jewish connections. Other places he visits is Chaco Canyon and describes the Clovis culture in New Mexico and the South. I found it interesting. I visited some sites around Sedona, AZ myself. You can find 7 National Parks within driving distance. There are Pueblo ruins, petroglyphs, Canyons, and Anastasia Ruins. I visited Canyon de Chelly on the Navajo Reservation. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Story-of-the-Roman-Catholic-Church-in-the-United-States-Audiobook/B073XT86J6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A lot squeezed into this book! Would you listen to Forged in Faith again? Why? Yes...there was a lot squeezed into this book, and it was incredible to walk through the history of various religions and how they affected one another throughout the forging of America. What did you like best about this story? The narrator was very good. He kept me involved in the story. Completely skipped over the Salem witch hunts Would you consider the audio edition of Forged in Faith to be better than the print version? Haven't read the print version What about Maurice Englands performance did you like? His voice was soothing and sounded like he was meant to read the book. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Guaranteed-Pure-Audiobook/B00VS9C6PE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Guaranteed Pure Subtitle: The Moody Bible Institute, Business, and the Making of Modern Evangelicalism Author: Timothy E. W. Gloege Narrator: Jim Manchester Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 04-27-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: In the history of the Moody Bible Institute, founded in 1886 by shoe salesman turned revivalist Dwight Lyman Moody, Timothy Gloege finds an answer to why Christian ethics seem to go hand in hand with free-market capitalism. Taking the story back to the origins of modern fundamentalism as it arose within the social and cultural context of the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era, Gloege reveals longstanding connections between Chicago evangelicals and business and shows that the marriage between modern business and the so-called "old-time religion" developed symbiotically, forever altering the American religious landscape. By 1920 a shifting coalition of businessmen, midlevel bureaucrats, and ministers had forged a remarkably resilient form of conservative evangelicalism that deviated in key respects from traditional Protestantism and that embraced modern consumer-oriented ideas and strategies. At the bottom was evangelicalism's thoroughgoing individualism, demonstrated prominently in the privilege it gave to a personal relationship with God as the essence of an authentic faith. This individualism aligned with key developments within capitalism and facilitated a remarkable confluence of business and religious ideas resistant to the influence of Darwinian science's basic orientation toward aggregated populations conditioned by nature or nurture. For these evangelicals, to challenge capitalism was to challenge the foundations of evangelical orthodoxy. Guaranteed pure from both liberal theology and populist literalism, this was a new form of old-time religion not simply compatible with modern consumer capitalism but uniquely dependent on it. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Timothy E.

Members Reviews: Selling Religion like Oats Through the lens of Moody and his bible institute the author describes the growth of the 'evangelical and the 'fundamental' movement from the post civil war period to about 1925. The Institute consciously used modern business practices in selling its products to individuals and the book will give an extensive metaphor on how Quaker Oats used the same methods in selling their product to its consumers. (The founder of Quaker Oats also happens to be one of the key players within the MBI). It's clear from the book how modern evangelicalism does owe its foundations to Moody and his methods. The book will also talk about how the original evangelicals associated with Moody wanted to bring all individuals together as socially independent consumers of religion but under a general umbrella while using a 'personal relationship to god' and a 'plain reading of the bible' in order to form a non-sectarian set of beliefs. I have no idea what those terms mean but the practitioners seemed to have understood. From time to time, I hear politicians speak like that, but it just goes right past me. I don't know what it means to have a personal relationship with an imaginary friend and somebody if he does not talk back to you. The "plain reading of the bible" doesn't make sense to me either. I wish the author had explained what that meant. Also, the evangelical movement seemed to have morphed into something called dispensationalism. Apparently it means something about there are different biblical ages that must be considered before one can properly understand the plain reading of the bible. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Washington-as-a-Freemason-Audiobook/B00R56F0J8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Unnecessary Blustering I have enjoyed most of the Foundations of Masonry series, but this entry is a low point. Mackey appears to be writing in direct response to anti-Masonic movement of the 1800s and the work has aged very badly. Historical information on Washington is kept to a bare minimum, so more time can be spent evangelizing Washington as so kind of Masonic saint. I would highly recommend Washington's Farewell by John Avlon for better information on Washington and his spiritual and Masonic ties. As for this short pamphlet, I can't recommend it for any price. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Quakers-Audiobook/B06XFWYH7C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

As the number of Christian converts grew, the growth in clashes on ideologies and control was only natural. In the same vein, more and more of those who called themselves Christians seemed to be straying further and further away from God's light. Drunkenness, heresy, and immorality were on the rise. The Middle Ages was especially rife with rape, incest, adultery, and other obscene sexual behaviors, which were well-recorded by medieval chroniclers. The English scholar, Alcuin, lamented that civilization had become "absolutely submerged under flood of fornication, adultery, and incest, so that the very semblance of modesty is entirely absent." Towards the 17th century, the Puritan-raised George Fox became increasingly discouraged by the worsening moral conditions of society. George was unable to fill the spiritual void inside of him, until one day, he discovered his inner "Light". Next came the godly visions. George began to preach about the "true" Word of God, and soon, amassed a following - the Religious Society of Friends, later known as the "Quakers". Few today know much about the Quakers. Whenever the subject of Quakerism slips into conversation, most picture a rosy-cheeked fellow in a simple black overcoat, and a wide brim hat atop his thick, cloud-white hair, inspired by the famous logo of the Quaker Oats company. In spite of the stereotype, Quakers today come in all colors, shapes, and sizes, with the more liberal folk sporting trendy haircuts and tattoos. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Mon, 06 Mar 2017 11:22:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Quakers-Audiobook/B06XFWYH7C thebookvoice.com 01:26:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

How has that happened? While much has been written on the Amish, little has been revealed about their history. This book brings together in one volume a thorough history of the Amish people. From their beginnings in Europe through their settlement in North America, the Amish have struggled to maintain their beliefs and traditions in often hostile settings. Now updated, the book gives an in-depth look at how the modern Amish church continues to grow and change.

Members Reviews: Continues the Tradition of Scholarly Excellence Nolt's "History" is a well-written classic. The third edition continues the concise, thorough attention to detail and the scholarly efforts that those of us who follow his work on a regular basis have come to expect. His overview of the Anabaptist origins of the Amish, extending to their present lifestyle and experiences is highly readable. Strongly recommended for any student, researcher, or professional working with the Amish. Five Stars Has a lot of interesting information. I purchased another for someone else who is enjoying it, too. I find this book interesting. I think many would ... I find this book interesting. I think many would not because of the detail used by the author. In that regard I find myself skipping detail that is beyond my interest and move on. All in all - I commend the book for those in this narrow interest - the Amish. Interesting but too detailed. I was looking for something ... Interesting but too detailed. I was looking for something lighter with a more general overview.

If youve listened to books by Henry Harrison Epps Jr. before, how does this one compare? I have not read a book by him before. What three words best describe Ellery Truesdells voice? Precise, clear, dry Could you see A Concise Study of the Myths, Legends and Traditions of the Native American People being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Title: Across Gods Frontiers Subtitle: Catholic Sisters in the American West, 1850-1920 Author: Anne M. Butler Narrator: Pam Ward Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 09-17-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Roman Catholic sisters first traveled to the American West as providers of social services, education, and medical assistance. InAcross Gods Frontiers, Anne M. Butler traces the ways in which sisters challenged and reconfigured contemporary ideas about women, work, religion, and the West; moreover, she demonstrates how religious life became a vehicle for increasing womens agency and power. Moving to the West introduced significant changes for these women, including public employment and unconventional monastic lives. As nuns and sisters adjusted to new circumstances and immersed themselves in rugged environments, the West shaped them; and through their labors and charities, they in turn shaped the West. These female religious pioneers built institutions, brokered relationships between indigenous peoples and encroaching settlers, and undertook varied occupations, often without organized funding or direct support from the church hierarchy. A comprehensive history of Roman Catholic nuns and sisters in the American West,Across Gods Frontiersreveals these women as dynamic and creative architects of civic and religious institutions in western communities. About the author: Anne M. Butler is trustee professor emerita at Utah State University and past editor of the Western Historical Quarterly. Author of numerous articles and books, including Daughters of Joy, Sisters of Misery, she has published extensively on matters of race, class, and gender in the history of the American West. Critic Reviews: As Butler explains the interaction between the American West and the Catholic nuns missioned there, she produces a richly textured study complemented by prodigious research and elegant writing. More than a synthesis of secondary literature, Butlers book renders a gracefully woven interpretation of the entire region. (Carol K. Coburn, Avila University) A profound undertaking that demonstrates the powerful nexus between gender, religion, and region. This skillful blend of narrative and analysis unites oftenignored contributions of Roman Catholic nuns with the metaphorical, if not mythical, significance and influence of the American West.

Has some valid information and insights however. Eye opening to the early christian Revolut This book may not be non fiction but it opens your eyes to the treatment of people of color ALL colors also early struggle with man vs women, showing the true grit of Frontierwomen. Disappointing What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? I was very disappointed in this book, and I stuck with it longer than I should have hoping it would get better. It reads like a very long summary without much personalization. This book talks about the nuns as a whole often only saying "one nun said" when giving quotes. I would have much rather the author used a few nuns by name to at least give continuity to the story. Instead this book is a large generalization of the topic. I'm sad because it seemed like a great topic, but either there was not enough research out there to be done, the author did not dig enough into available resources, or the author chose to write this without much depth.

Title: A Peculiar People Subtitle: Anti-Mormonism and the Making of Religion in Nineteenth-Century America Author: J. Spencer Fluhman Narrator: John Pruden Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 09-17-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Though the Constitution guarantees the free exercise of religion, it does not specify what qualifies as a religion. From its founding in the 1830s, Mormonism, a homegrown American faith, has drawn thousands of converts but far more critics. InA Peculiar People, J. Spencer Fluhman offers a comprehensive history of anti-Mormon thought and the associated passionate debates about religious authenticity in 19th-century America. He argues that understanding anti-Mormonism provides critical insight into the American psyche because Mormonism became a potent symbol around which ideas about religion and the state took shape. Fluhman documents how Mormonism was defamed, with attacks often aimed at polygamy, and shows how the new faith supplied a social enemy for a public agitated by the popular press and wracked with social and economic instability. Taking the story to the turn of the century, Fluhman demonstrates how Mormonisms own transformations, the result of both choice and outside force, sapped the strength of the worst anti-Mormon vitriol, triggering the acceptance of Utah into the Union in 1896 and also paving the way for the dramatic, yet still grudging, acceptance of Mormonism as an American religion. J. Spencer Fluhman is assistant professor of history at Brigham Young University. Critic Reviews: A pleasure to read. Fluhmans deeply researched work explores the tangled relationship between anti-Mormon and Mormon histories with a degree of thoroughness and comprehensiveness never before achieved. (Amanda Porterfield, Florida State University) Spencer Fluhman has read widely and eclectically, probing the portraits of Mormons that emerged primarily from the pens of critics and sometimes from ham-fisted defenders. This book brilliantly situates these polemics in religious history, exploring a rich vein of argument about the nature of religion in nineteenth-century America.

This is an excellent academic work that won "best first book" from the Mormon history association. If you are looking for an anti-Mormon or pro-Mormon book, best to look elsewhere. High Hopes but Hugely Disappointing What did you like about this audiobook? Thos book would be infinitely better if it were 5 1/2 hours shorter. How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter? I'm still interested in the subject matter and I hope to soon read an interesting book that I can learn from. I bought this book hoping to learn about the history and development of the Mormon faith but instead ... the author attempts to regale the reader with more than 6 1/2 hours of the dryest, repetitve, and verbose history of how the Mormons were persecuted by narrow minded, parochial zealots. He manages to do this in a manner that would make listening to William F. Buckley read a 500 page textbook on differential equations seem breathtakingly exciting. While the narrator did a good job reading the material, not even Scott Brick could make this worth listening to. Save your credit and 6 1/2 hours of your life.

Title: Head and Heart Subtitle: American Christianities Author: Garry Wills Narrator: Mel Foster Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 08-13-10 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Here is a landmark examination of Christianity's place in American life across the broad sweep of this country's history, from the Puritans to the presidential administration of George W. Bush. The struggle within American Christianity, Garry Wills argues, now and throughout our country's history, is between the head and the heart: between reason and emotion, Enlightenment and Evangelism. Why has this been so? How has the tension between the two poles played out, and with what consequences, over the past 400 years? How "Christian" is America, after all? Wills brings a lifetime's worth of thought about these questions to bear on a magnificent historical reckoning that offers much needed perspective on some of the most contentious issues of our time. A religious revolution occurred in America in the 18th century, one that saw the emergence of an Enlightenment religious culture whose hallmarks were tolerance for other faiths and a belief that religion was a matter best divorced from political institutions - the proverbial "separation of church and state". Wills shows us just how incredibly radical a departure this separation was; there was simply no precedent for it. To put this leap in perspective, Wills provides a grounding in the pre-Enlightenment religion that preceded it, beginning with the early Puritans. He then provides a thrillingly clear unpacking of the steps, particularly Madison's and Jefferson's, by which church-state separation was enshrined in the Constitution, and reveals the great irony of the efforts of today's Religious Right to blur the lines between the two. In fact, it is precisely that separation that has allowed religion in America to flourish since the disestablishment of religion created a free market, as it were, and competition for souls led to the profusion of denominations across the length and breadth of the land. Critic Reviews: "Lucid and grandly informative....cogent as it is refreshing."

Wills won two National Book Critics Award and has published numerous books, including translations (most notably of Augustine's Confessions), works of history and political criticism, and books about his own Roman Catholic faith. I had read Henry Adams and the Making of America (2005) and liked it. So when Head and Heart: American Christianities went on sale at Amazon.com for $5.99 instead of the original $29.96, I bought it. It's an interesting and (at least to my neophyte eyes) original history of Christian religion in the United States. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Amish-Audiobook/B01MTO16N0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Amish Subtitle: The History and Legacy of One of America's Oldest and Most Unique Communities Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Scott Clem Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 11-21-16 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Back in the 16th century, the Protestant Reformation took Europe by storm. The havoc wreaked saw the split of churches and the emergence of the Amish, led by Jakob Ammann. By the 18th century, a group of Amish had crossed the seas to the United States, where they made their home, and today the Amish are now one of the fastest-growing populations in the world. Buggies, straw hats, long and plain dresses in shades of blue and black, charming log cabins reminiscent of Little House on the Prairie - this is often the mental image that comes to mind when one thinks of the Amish. Nowadays, many have become accustomed to being within a 10 foot radius of at least three pieces of technology every hour of the day. World news and current events have never been more readily available, accessible by just a touch of a fingertip. Yet there exists a collection of cultures worldwide that steer clear of contemporary society for a range of reasons. These communities, which also come in various forms around the world, are the descendants of the Swiss Anabaptist movement. The Amish are famed for their simple living, commitment to sanctity, and being a community that seems to be at a standstill in time. What is less known about them is the deep culture, tradition, and faith, making them one of the most unique communities that has ever graced civilization. Americans have heard of the Amish, but most know little about them. They are often seen as unconventional and strictly religious, but quiet, calm folk who keep to themselves. Those who have heard of them know of their rejection of electricity and most, if not all modern aspects of life. Those who have taken a gander at the dozens of "reality shows" that have sprung up over recent years may have even heard of the famous - but often inaccurately depicted - Rumspringa. But beyond the buggies and prayer bonnets lies an intriguing culture that has remained strictly loyal to its roots. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Mon, 21 Nov 2016 03:45:54 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Amish-Audiobook/B01MTO16N0 thebookvoice.com 01:13:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A good publication if you know nothing about the Amish For those people who know little to nothing about the Amish, this publication will help you understand their lives a bit more. There is a good short history of how this sect came into existance, and it also mentions that, just like their are different "denominations" of christians, there are also different "orders" of the Amish. There are a few things I'd like to clarify for readers who don't live near Amish or know anything about them. This book talked about "Rumspringa," which is supposed to be a time for Amish youth to go out into the secular world and mix with the non-Amish, or "English" as they usually call the rest of us. This is NOT a widespread practice of the Amish. We live in SW Wisconsin and have a lot of contact with Amish families. Last year I asked one of them about Rumspringa, and they'd never heard of it! Many people think of the Amish as being "apart" from and not mingling with non-Amish. I don't know how it is in other areas, but the Amish near us always mingle with we "English." They have to, it seems, as many of them have businesses aimed at us. Three years ago we had out kitchen gutted and had a wonderful Amish business completely re-do it, and they took care of everything from cabinets, to quartz countertop and sink. They also had their employees install it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Little-Known-Facts-About-Thanksgiving-Season-Audiobook/B077ZNLWRF Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Star-Spangled Buddhist Subtitle: Zen, Tibetan, and Soka Gakkai Buddhism and the Quest for Enlightenment in America Author: Jeff Ourvan Narrator: Kevin Young Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 06-01-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: The full story of Buddhism in the United States - illuminated and enlightened for todays listener. Approximately four million Americans claim to be Buddhist. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of Americans of various faiths read about Buddhism, are interested in its philosophical tenets, or fashionably view themselves as Buddhists. Theyre part of whats been described as the fastest growing religious movement in America: a large group of people dissatisfied with traditional religious offerings and thirsty for an approach to spirituality grounded in logic and consistent with scientific knowledge. Star-Spangled Buddhist is a provocative look at these American Buddhists through their three largest movements in the United States: the Soka Gakkai International, Tibetan/Vajrayana Buddhism, and Zen Buddhism.The practice of each of these American schools, unlike most traditional Asian Buddhist sects, is grounded in the notion that all people are capable of attaining enlightenment in this lifetime. But the differences are also profound: The spectrum of philosophical expression among these American Buddhist schools is as varied as that observed between Reformed, Orthodox, and Hasidic Judaism. Star-Spangled Buddhist isnt written from the perspective of a monk or academic but rather from the irreverent view of author Jeff Ourvan, a lifelong practicing lay Buddhist. As Ourvan explores the American Buddhist movement through its most popular schools, he arrives at a clearer understanding for himself and the listener about what it means to be - and how one might choose to be - a Buddhist in America. Editorial Reviews: Jeff Ourvan mixes his personal experiences as a practicing Buddhist with informative overviews that demystify the histories and practices of the three major schools of American Buddhism, organized in sections by the Three Jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. Kevin Young's leisurely, upbeat performance highlights the clarity and the touch of self-effacement that make Ourvan's Star-Spangled Buddhist so accessible. Perceptive and passionate, this succinct outline articulates how Buddhism's emphasis on acceptance and the quest for personal enlightenment has appealed to Americans, changed through its contact with them, and why it might be the faith that is most adaptable to an increasingly interconnected global culture. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jeff Ourvan) Sat, 01 Jun 2013 04:30:28 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Star-Spangled-Buddhist-Audiobook/B00BOR899C thebookvoice.com 07:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: This book is so boring! This is just a very boring book. I found nothing useful or original about it. And the reader just put me to sleep. I should have listened to the reviews. Would you try another book from Jeff Ourvan and/or Kevin Young? No Has Star-Spangled Buddhist turned you off from other books in this genre? No How could the performance have been better? It was more the writing than the reader. What character would you cut from Star-Spangled Buddhist? N/A Any additional comments? Very disappointed in the blatant self promotion and lack of substance. Glossing over hypocritical statements for the benefit of the viewpoint. Heavily Biased What disappointed you about Star-Spangled Buddhist? It's a shame that such a great idea to introduce the differing sects of Buddhism and how they operate in the west can be marred by such an incredible lack of morality when it comes to following the Fourth Precept (truthfulness). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Practicing-Catholic-Audiobook/B002V8MPZM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: PRACTICING CATHOLIC? NEITHER! The title and cover photo are deceptive. Do not be fooled as I was. This book is a just diatribe against the Vatican and what traditional Catholics believe. St. John Bosco stated that you can tell if something is Catholic by its faithfulness to the Magisterium, the Eucharist and Mary. He dissents on all three. This book is just what you expect from an ex-priest who has bought into the liberal agenda of the 1960s (Hans Kung and friends). He dissents from the Vatican on the usual hot button issues. Much of what he writes about is based on the media hear say and lacks much impartial scholarship. Great book! What did you like best about this story? Practicing Catholic presents a modern, compassionate and realistic view of Catholicism. The author addresses the concerns that most Catholics, most likely have about what has taken place in the church and where to go from here. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It helped me understand my own struggles with the faith in which I was raised. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Cult-in-America-Audiobook/B00CMTWSYI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "More nuanced than some other Christian interpretations of the nation's founding." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: "Under God, Vol.2" "Under God, Vol.2" is a complimentary addition to the original. It offers similar accounts of discrimination, suffering, and persecution in our country's racially divided history. Along with these moderate to severe true stories, ranging from well-known to obsecure, depicts the heroic actions taken to rectify injustices with firm faith principles rooted in Biblical Christianity. Written with concentrated effort and simplicity, "Under God, Vol. 2," is equally important as its predecessor. This audio book is another valuable resource in learning the truth of our nation's past, and provides the necessary insight concerning the moral, ethical, and inhumane ramifications when we cease to function as one nation "Under God." https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Under-God-Audiobook/B002V0K732 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Essential to All Good Government If you could sum up The Theme Is Freedom in three words, what would they be? Evans provides an air tight case, what we think we know about our founding - is purely propaganda and based on myth and legend. The truth about the founding is noble and biblical - not an enlightenment sewer like the French or the Russian Revolution's, Mao's China or the NWO. What does Scott Slocum bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His rendering is good in its inflection and rhythm. His voice is ill matched to the subject matter. His throaty and smoky voice does not match the intellectual foundation of the work. Overall, it was distracting at first, but is still very much worth listening to. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. Any additional comments? I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking truth about the Founders and the founding of our Constitutional Republic.

Title: The Liberty Threat Subtitle: The Attack on Religious Freedom in America Today Author: James Tonkowich Narrator: James Tonkowich Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 07-24-15 Publisher: Saint Benedict Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: What happened to liberty and justice for all? Americans are losing what are supposed to be constitutionally promised rights at an alarming pace. The Founding Fathers understood the overriding essentiality of religious practice unimpeded by governmental authority, but time and vast cultural change has eroded this from the consciences of modern politicians. The struggle for the right to worship freely has been present since the time of the Roman Empire. By looking at how the ancient Christian world relates to the failures of our own Supreme Court, it is possible to see what has led to so much government interference in personal religious beliefs in the name of "equality". As we watch America teeter ever closer to the brink of moral collapse and prejudice against religion becomes even more institutionalized, one question always surfaces: How can we stop this? In The Liberty Threat, James Tonkowich explores the history of Christian philosophy from the Church's infancy through the birth of America and how it influenced religious liberty. With powerful examples fresh from today's courts, Tonkowich illustrates just how the rigid separation of Church and state has created a world that is hostile to true faith. The Liberty Threat is both a chilling wake-up call and a clear call to action for Christians everywhere. biacuaduc@gmail.com (James Tonkowich) Fri, 24 Jul 2015 00:28:01 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Liberty-Threat-Audiobook/B012DWS590 thebookvoice.com 03:28:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Chilling Reminder How Fragile Our Freedom What made the experience of listening to The Liberty Threat the most enjoyable? The detail and thoroughness with which the author discusses the history of religious freedom or lack thereof throughout western civilization since Roman and earlier times. Also, well made the case that without religious freedom, all other freedoms are superficial. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? Although much of the book traces the history of religious and therefore all our true freedoms, his thorough discussion of the most recent cases and how they are germane to ALL people of faith. Any additional comments? I enjoyed how the author/narrator integrated his 'notes' as an appendix. Rarely included in audio books. The way he did so, made them (his bibliography) quite reference-able. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Christian-America-and-the-Kingdom-of-God-Audiobook/B00HJ88Z94 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Christian America and the Kingdom of God Author: Richard T. Hughes Narrator: Jim Seitz Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 12-31-13 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: The idea of the United States as a Christian nation is a powerful, seductive, and potentially destructive theme in American life, culture, and politics. Many fundamentalist and evangelical leaders routinely promote this notion, and millions of Americans simply assume the Christian character of the United States. And yet, as Richard T. Hughes reveals in this powerful book, the biblical vision of the "kingdom of God" stands at odds with the values and actions of an American empire that sanctions war instead of peace, promotes dominance and oppression instead of reconciliation, and exalts wealth and power instead of justice for the poor and needy. With conviction and careful consideration, Hughes reviews the myth of Christian America from its earliest history in the founding of the republic to the present day. With extensive analysis of both Christian scripture and American history, Hughes investigates the reasons why so many Americans think of the United States as a Christian nation. Timely and thought-provoking, Christian America and the Kingdom of God illuminates the devastating irony of a "Christian America" that so often behaves in unchristian ways. Critic Reviews: "As evangelicals continue to struggle with their identity in the post-George W. Bush era, let us hope that gentler, more reasonable voices like that of Richard Hughes prevail over those that prefer stridency and partisanship." (Huffington Post) "An important sign of the times. Its passion, clarity and critical piety make it the kind of book that could build a movement." (The Christian Century) "A genuinely thought-provoking read, Christian America and the Kingdom of God makes one wonder if those who wage wars and bloodshed in the name of God do really know the holy canon."

Title: Religion in American Politics Subtitle: A Short History Author: Frank Lambert Narrator: Don Hagen Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 10-13-10 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: The delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention blocked the establishment of Christianity as a national religion. But they could not keep religion out of American politics. From the election of 1800, when Federalist clergyman charged that deist Thomas Jefferson was unfit to lead a "Christian nation," to today, when some Democrats want to embrace the so-called Religious Left in order to compete with the Republicans and the Religious Right, religion has always been a part of American politics. In Religion in American Politics, Frank Lambert tells the fascinating story of the uneasy relations between religion and politics from the founding to the 21st century. Lambert examines how antebellum Protestant unity was challenged by sectionalism as both North and South invoked religious justification; how Andrew Carnegie's "Gospel of Wealth" competed with the anticapitalist "Social Gospel" during postwar industrialization; how the civil rights movement was perhaps the most effective religious intervention in politics in American history; and how the alliance between the Republican Party and the Religious Right has, in many ways, realized the founders' fears of religious-political electoral coalitions. In these and other cases, Lambert shows that religion became sectarian and partisan whenever it entered the political fray, and that religious agendas have always mixed with nonreligious ones. The book is published by Princeton University Press. Critic Reviews: "Of the writing of books about the rise and rumored fall of the religious right there is no end. But most of these tend toward the genre of the rant, which is why Lambert's new book is important. It gives a history of the intertwining of evangelical faith and political engagement in America that displays no obvious agenda other than to illuminate.... The whole book will be useful as a handy, clear and fair treatment of this most contentious subject."

Since then he has identified our country's sixth-century BC Hopewell culture with contemporaneous Hebrews described in the Book of Mormon, showing a Semitic presence in North America, and has released five volumes on the subject in his This Land series (Hay River Press, WI). A sought-after lecturer at alternative science conferences across the US, May continues to successfully challenge conventional wisdom upholding Christopher Columbus as the lone discoverer of our continent by connecting Book of Mormon revelations with striking parallels in the latest archaeological finds.

Is "pro-choice" a neutral position? For 40 years since the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, the abortion debate has been highly charged and politicized. Questions like these - and passionate but widely varying answers - have become the common language of the public dialogue on this issue. Yet behind the scenes of this historic case are other intriguing questions: In Compelling Interest, author Roger Resler draws on original sources, including the actual transcripts for oral arguments, the majority and minority opinions, and comments by the lawyers and others involved to take a careful look at the real story behind the historic Roe v.

What does Roger Resler bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I did not find the narration particularly off-putting. The voice remained consistent throughout, with very few dramatic flourishes. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? My reaction to this book was in stark contrast to the previous reviewer. She is absolutely right that those that have made up their miinds on the abortion issue will find this book most helpful. However, pro-choice advocates react to "screeds" such as this with the same vitriol, unsubstantiated by fact. Compelling interest is an excellent tool to expose one's true point-of-view on the subject of abortion. Contrary to the opinion of the previous reviewer, there is no middle ground on this issue. Any additional comments? Pro-life advocates are accused of closed-mindedness. Ey tu Brute? HORRIBLE!!!! Would you try another book from Roger Resler and/or Roger Resler? Never. What do you think your next listen will be? something actually entertaining What didnt you like about Roger Reslers performance? He is incredibly sanctimonious. Also, the addition of numerous adolescent voices is both annoying and attempting to illicit an emotional response from the audience. It is yet more one more way in which this book shows its bias and downright mean-ness. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Intense remorse for wasting a credit. Any additional comments? This book is sold as an unbiased account of abortion litigation. IT IS NOT. It is a pro-life screed. Essentially, do not listen to this unless you have already made up your mind about this issue. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Mending-the-Hoop-Native-American-Culture-and-Spirit-Rituals-Audiobook/B06X3VFKVL Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: American Genesis Subtitle: The Evolution Controversies from Scopes to Creation Science Author: Jeffrey P. Moran Narrator: Bill Hensel Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 05-06-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: The question of teaching evolution in the public schools is a continuing and frequently heated political issue in America. From Tennessee's Scopes Trial in 1925 to recent battles that have erupted in Louisiana, Kansas, Ohio, and countless other localities, the critics and supporters of evolution have fought nonstop over the role of science and religion in American public life. In American Genesis, Jeffrey P. Moran explores the ways in which the evolution debate has reverberated beyond the confines of state legislatures and courthouses. Using extensive research in newspapers, periodicals, and archives, Moran shows that social forces such as gender, regionalism, and race have intersected with the debate over evolution in ways that shed light on modern American culture. He investigates, for instance, how antievolutionism deepened the cultural divisions between North and South - northerners embraced evolution as a sign of sectional enlightenment, while southerners defined themselves as the standard bearers of true Christianity. Evolution debates also exposed a deep gulf between conservative Black Christians and secular intellectuals such as W. E. B. DuBois. Moran also explores the ways in which the struggle has played out in the universities, on the Internet, and even within the evangelical community. Throughout, he shows that evolution has served as a weapon, as an enforcer of identity, and as a polarizing force both within and without the churches. America has both the most advanced scientific infrastructure as well as the highest rate of church adherence among developed nations, and the issues raised in the evolution controversies touch the heart of our national identity. American Genesis makes an important contribution to our understanding of the impact of this contentious issue, revealing how its tendrils have stretched out to touch virtually every corner of our lives. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jeffrey P.

Title: American Christianity Subtitle: The Continuing Revolution, Discovering America Author: Stephen Cox Narrator: Gary L. Willprecht Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 09-19-14 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Christianity takes an astonishing variety of forms in America, from churches that cherish traditional modes of worship to evangelical churches and fellowships, Pentecostal churches, social-action churches, megachurches, and apocalyptic churches - congregations ministering to believers of diverse ethnicities, social classes, and sexual orientations. Nor is this diversity a recent phenomenon, despite many Americans' nostalgia for an undeviating faith of our fathers in the days of yore. Rather, as Stephen Cox argues in this thought-provoking audiobook, American Christianity is a revolution that is always happening, and always needs to happen. The old-time religion always has to be made new, and that is what Americans have been doing throughout their history. American Christianity is an engaging book, wide ranging and well informed, in touch with the living reality of America's diverse traditions and with the surprising ways in which they have developed. Radical and unpredictable change, Cox argues, is one of the few dependable features of Christianity in America. He explores how both the Catholic Church and the mainline Protestant churches have evolved in ways that would make them seem alien to their adherents in past centuries. He traces the rise of uniquely American movements, from the Mormons to the Seventh-day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses, and brings to life the vivid personalities - Aimee Semple McPherson, Billy Sunday, and many others - who have taken the gospel to the masses. He sheds new light on such issues as American Christians' intense but constantly changing political involvements, their controversial revisions in the style and substance of worship, and their chronic expectation that God is about to intervene conclusively in human life. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Stephen Cox) Fri, 19 Sep 2014 11:41:55 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/American-Christianity-Audiobook/B00NP9W8US thebookvoice.com 08:21:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent Cultural History - Highly Recommended for Scholars and Casual Readers "American Christianity" is a well-researched, very accessible book for both scholars and casual readers interested in the culture and history of Christianity in the United States. Cox's vivid narrative moves seamlessly between anecdotes, statistics, and ideas, giving the reader a sweeping view of American Christianity's diverse development without sacrificing the colorful experiences of people and communities "on the ground." It is an ambitious book, covering topics ranging from early American church planting to 21st century predictions of the Second Coming. Mainline Protestantism, Catholicism, and "fringe" Christian groups are individually explored, as well as the links and tensions between them. Yet, the work is both encyclopedic and entertaining (two words that often don't belong in the same sentence). Cox fills the pages with stories that illuminate the ways in which American Christianity is as common and enduring as it is complex and ever-changing. The book is a rich work of cultural history that leaves the reader wanting more, in the best way possible. After all, as Cox puts it in his introduction, "American Christianity...is something even more interesting - more colorful, more troubling, more amusing, more challenging, more emotionally demanding - than the greatest, strangest poem." serious but fun,. This book is a fascinating tour of people, movements, architecture, politics, and music that presents American Christianity from a unique perspective. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Curran-vs-Catholic-University-Audiobook/B002V8KLNK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A FASCINATING, FAIR, AND DETAILED ACCOUNT OF A FAMOUS MODERN RELIGIOUS CONFLICT Theologian Charles Curran (b. 1934) was ordained as a Catholic priest, and is no stranger to controversy. In 1967 he was removed from his tenured faculty position teaching moral theology at Catholic University of America because of his favorable views on birth control, but after a strong faculty protest, he was reinstated. However, in 1986 he was again removed from his position because of his views, and it is this trial is the subject of Larry Witham's book. Witham notes dryly, "For a contract dispute, an otherwise mundane affair in court, this case promised some color. Before the trial was over, Roman Catholic cardinals, priests, theologians, university presidents, and professors would occupy the witness stand. The atmosphere would at times become taut as the legal arguments from both sides delicately maneuvered past an exploration of the Roman Catholic religion itself, a practice that makes judges nervous regardless of the denomination involved." Witham quotes Curran, "From an intellectual perspective, I am not a radical. How can one who emphasizes tension and complexity be a radical?" Curran "did not contest in court the Vatican's right to question his teachings, did challenge the university's right under his tenure to bar him from teaching Catholic theology in his former department of theology." However, the point was ultimately made in court that "Although a professor who took those positions might well be competent, he would nevertheless be regarded as ineligible to teach Catholic theology." Interestingly, Curran rejected an offer to teach social ethics at the university, saying, "If I am going to teach a course in social ethics, I am going to teach it as a Catholic theologian ... I mean, I can't deny who I am." Ultimately, Curran lost his case and currently teaches at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Witham notes that "donors lost because of the controversy were being made up by those who backed the university's stand." This book will be of great interest to those interested in Catholic theology, ethics, current controversies, as well as academic freedom. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Mormon-Theocracy-Audiobook/B00BUUK838 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Mostly Pointless This essay lacks a clear meaningful point. An unguided pursuit of God.

Title: The Presidents & Their Faith Subtitle: From George Washington to Barack Obama Author: Darrin Grinder, Steve Shaw Narrator: Peter D Stover Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-16 Publisher: Elevate Faith Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: The old adage, "never discuss religion and politics", is roundly rejected in this incisive exploration of presidential history and religious faith. This newly updated 2016 edition of The Presidents & Their Faith is a fascinating and informative look at how all US presidents exercised their personal faith, exerted presidential power, and led a religiously diverse nation. Has there ever been a stranger prayer than Truman's, offered upon America's successful development of the atom bomb: "We pray that he may guide us to use it in his ways and for his purposes"? At the nation's founding, Northeast Presbyterians demanded explicit mention of Jesus in the Constitution. George Washington refuted them, saying that religious piety "was a matter best left between an individual and his god; religious instruction was the responsibility of religious societies, not the civil state." What drove Washington to make that argument, and what if he had lost? Who wouldn't feel like the exasperated FDR when he said, "I can do almost everything in the 'Goldfish Bowl' of the President's life, but I'll be hanged if I can say my prayers in it. It bothers me to feel like something in the zoo being looked at by all the tourists in Washington when I go to church...No privacy in that kind of going to church, and by the time I have gotten into that pew and settled down with everybody looking at me, I don't feel like saying my prayers at all."

Title: The Presidents & Their Faith Subtitle: From George Washington to Barack Obama Author: Darrin Grinder, Steve Shaw Narrator: Peter D Stover Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-16 Publisher: Elevate Faith Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: The old adage, "never discuss religion and politics", is roundly rejected in this incisive exploration of presidential history and religious faith. This newly updated 2016 edition of The Presidents & Their Faith is a fascinating and informative look at how all US presidents exercised their personal faith, exerted presidential power, and led a religiously diverse nation. Has there ever been a stranger prayer than Truman's, offered upon America's successful development of the atom bomb: "We pray that he may guide us to use it in his ways and for his purposes"? At the nation's founding, Northeast Presbyterians demanded explicit mention of Jesus in the Constitution. George Washington refuted them, saying that religious piety "was a matter best left between an individual and his god; religious instruction was the responsibility of religious societies, not the civil state."

Members Reviews: Succinct & informative This book is very timely for 2012, when we are confronted almost daily with discussion of the religions of presidential candidates. As one wholely unfamiliar with the faiths of most presidents, I found this to be a concise and clear introduction to all 44 US presidents. The summaries were short and stayed on point, with only salient external details to give context to a president's frequency of church attendance, for example. After reading it quickly (I really couldn't put it down!) I feel like I have a baseline picture of faith in US presidency.... virtually all with religious upbringing/training, varying degrees of Christian orthodoxy or church attendance, and, until recent times, most were adamant about separating the office of the president from their own religious practices or convictions. I would have been willing to read more than the average of about 5pg/presidentIt really put today's issues in a broader light for those of us who are not intending to become presidential scholars but want real, scholarly cliff notes on which to draw current conclusions. This is a very interesting book. I cannot believe ... This is a very interesting book. I cannot believe the research that went into this book. It is very detailed with a long list of references. While I haven't completed the book, it's hard to express how I felt reading it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Religious-Knowledge-Audiobook/B002V5D798 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Summary Members Reviews: Not bad for an overview of comparative religion I have listened to many of Deaver Brown's other audio books about startups and entrepreneurship, so I was a little surprised to see him branching out to topics like religion. I generally like the conversational style that he uses for most of his audio books, instead of reading word-for-word from an actual book. Since this one was only $1.95, I figured I would give it a shot... at least it might be entertaining. I was pleasantly surprised that he didn't have an obvious bias when presenting the material. It is definitely a very brief summary of a wide variety of religions, but I found it to be a useful high-level refresher. It has been 20 years since I took a formal comparative religion class, so I can't really vouch for the accuracy of the material. Nothing was obviously wrong to me, but that might not be saying much since I'm not a religious expert. Anyway, if you like Deaver Brown's style, you may enjoy this book like I did. If you're primarily looking for a good book about comparative religions, I would probably recommend finding another more in-depth book or possibly some other reputable online resources. Shallow & Inaccurate The author has not done his homework and therefore suffers from the ignorance he is trying to dispel. For example, he says that the function of the Pope in Catholicism is the same as that of the Grand Revelator in Mormonism, which is an egregious error. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-View-of-Christ-in-America-Audiobook/B01C7TRNL0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Memories of the Good Old Days When I was a teenager I spent a lot of time at the Nolanville Church of Christ encampment each August, camping with an uncle's family. It was a magical time of good preaching and Bible study, beautiful singing, good food, and best of all, wonderful fellowship. The encampment on the banks of Nolan Creek, with everyone cooking outside their tents, was a wonderful place to get acquainted, and a paradise for kids. Friendships and memories were made that lasted a life time. The last few years I was there the song leader was Palmer Wheeler, and he was so outstanding. I was not really surprised when I learned a few years ago that he was one of the founding members of the Stamps Quartet. He loved music so much and was a wonderful singer. This is an excellent history of the camp meeting, which unfortunately was discontinued several years ago. It was filled with interviews with people who had spent time there. It is a very well written, must read for anyone who ever attended the encampment. Encamped Toward Heaven is a treasure! This book is exactly what I needed to get more information about my ancestors who preached at the Nolanville Encampment. I love the stories it tells about the history of the encampment and quotes from past attendees. It is an incredible compilation of the events leading up to, during and after the 100th encampment. Thanks for making this stroll through history possible. A step back for memories My mom (96 yrs) was so thrilled to read about our family and others she remembers. She has been sharing with anyone. This is truly a wonderfully finished product. It was nice to read about old friends, as the Sprott family, and be reminded what a huge part they played at Nolanville Encampment. I can close my eyes and hear the singing under that pavillion. Such fond memories you have stirred in my heart. Great book Very interesting and informative. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/VangoNotes-for-America-Audiobook/B003NH2JTC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I gave a star for each part of the file that wasn't a review of material from the book. So here is how it will go. You'll listen to some material from the book for about 5 minutes then the rest of the time you will be getting asked review questions from things you'll need to read from the book. The description is very misleading. I would have ranked higher if I wanted and expected a person asking me questions about what I read from the book. GREAT NARRATIVE!!! This is an excellent learning aid. I have almost completed my degree program in nursing but I have always dodged taking the history pre-requisite class. This audiobook has made history interesting and much easier to understand than reading unending pages from a text book. I also enjoy being able to pause the recording at will to take notes. The additional sections - Practice Questions, Key Terms, and Rapid Review - are invaluable particularly since this is an online class where I have no access to my teacher for any additional explanations. To me, this narrative is awesome for audio-learners!!! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/VangoNotes-for-America-Audiobook/B003NH4OIG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Needs updated narration London's chronoligical, tightly coupled tales of Fish Patrol fights with oyster pirates, Greek scofflaw salmon poachers and more is marred by this 1982 audio production with low audio quality and a narrator that is just phoning it in. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/VangoNotes-for-America-Audiobook/B003NHAI5Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Killers of the Flower Moon Subtitle: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI Author: David Grann Narrator: Danny Campbell, Ann Marie Lee, Will Patton Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2733 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: From New Yorker staff writer David Grann, New York Times best-selling author of The Lost City of Z, a twisting, haunting true-life murder mystery about one of the most monstrous crimes in American history. In the 1920s the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. Her relatives were shot and poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more members of the tribe began to die under mysterious circumstances. In this last remnant of the Wild West - where oilmen like J. P. Getty made their fortunes and where desperadoes like Al Spencer, the "Phantom Terror", roamed - many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll climbed to more than 24, the FBI took up the case. It was one of the organization's first major homicide investigations, and the bureau badly bungled the case. In desperation the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including one of the only American Indian agents in the bureau. The agents infiltrated the region, struggling to adopt the latest techniques of detection. Together with the Osage they began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. In Killers of the Flower Moon, David Grann revisits a shocking series of crimes in which dozens of people were murdered in cold blood. Based on years of research and startling new evidence, the book is a masterpiece of narrative nonfiction, as each step in the investigation reveals a series of sinister secrets and reversals. But more than that, it is a searing indictment of the callousness and prejudice toward American Indians that allowed the murderers to operate with impunity for so long. Killers of the Flower Moon is utterly compelling but also emotionally devastating. biacuaduc@gmail.com (David Grann) Tue, 18 Apr 2017 23:24:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Killers-of-the-Flower-Moon-Audiobook/B01NAEEJJV thebookvoice.com 09:04:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Killers of the Flower Moon Subtitle: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI Author: David Grann Narrator: Danny Campbell, Ann Marie Lee, Will Patton Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2733 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: From New Yorker staff writer David Grann, New York Times best-selling author of The Lost City of Z, a twisting, haunting true-life murder mystery about one of the most monstrous crimes in American history. In the 1920s the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. Her relatives were shot and poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more members of the tribe began to die under mysterious circumstances. In this last remnant of the Wild West - where oilmen like J. P. Getty made their fortunes and where desperadoes like Al Spencer, the "Phantom Terror", roamed - many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll climbed to more than 24, the FBI took up the case. It was one of the organization's first major homicide investigations, and the bureau badly bungled the case. In desperation the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including one of the only American Indian agents in the bureau. The agents infiltrated the region, struggling to adopt the latest techniques of detection. Together with the Osage they began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. In Killers of the Flower Moon, David Grann revisits a shocking series of crimes in which dozens of people were murdered in cold blood. Based on years of research and startling new evidence, the book is a masterpiece of narrative nonfiction, as each step in the investigation reveals a series of sinister secrets and reversals. But more than that, it is a searing indictment of the callousness and prejudice toward American Indians that allowed the murderers to operate with impunity for so long. Killers of the Flower Moon is utterly compelling but also emotionally devastating. Members Reviews: An outstanding story, highly recommended Yes, the series of narrators is confusing. More on that later. The important thing is that this is a great story, an important story, an amazing story that has been hidden from you. Everyone should read or listen to it. This is a true American crime story, a story full of villains and honest to god heroes. If you loved Boys in the Boat or Unbroken, don't miss this one. It's top notch research and story telling. I couldn't put it down. Now, about the narration. First, you have Ann Marie Lee reading it. Her enunciation is perfect, but she hasn't got a dramatic bone in her body. I'm sorry Ann Marie. It's like listening to a kindergarten teacher reading Dick and Jane. No character. No drama. What the heck? Next Will Patton comes along.He has read a number of Stephen King books and is a marvelous dramatic reader. He can do the voice of evil really well. The transition is all the more jolting for the listener. From Romper Room to Stephen King. Suddenly you're listening to a totally different book. But you'll want to continue on because the story is that good. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Fantasyland-Audiobook/B07576HL6H Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Fantasyland Subtitle: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History Author: Kurt Andersen Narrator: Kurt Andersen Format: Unabridged Length: 19 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 09-05-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 971 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: A razor-sharp thinker offers a new understanding of our post-truth world and explains the American instinct to believe in make-believe, from the Pilgrims to P. T. Barnum to Disneyland to zealots of every stripe...to Donald Trump. In this sweeping, eloquent history of America, Kurt Andersen demonstrates that what's happening in our country today - this strange, post-factual, "fake news" moment we're all living through - is not something entirely new, but rather the ultimate expression of our national character and path. America was founded by wishful dreamers, magical thinkers, and true believers, by impresarios and their audiences, by hucksters and their suckers. Believe-whatever-you-want fantasy is deeply embedded in our DNA. Over the course of five centuries - from the Salem witch trials to Scientology to the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, from P. T. Barnum to Hollywood and the anything-goes, wild-and-crazy 60s, from conspiracy theories to our fetish for guns and obsession with extraterrestrials - our peculiar love of the fantastic has made America exceptional in a way that we've never fully acknowledged. With the gleeful erudition and tell-it-like-it-is ferocity of a Christopher Hitchens, Andersen explores whether the great American experiment in liberty has gone off the rails. From the start, our ultra-individualism was attached to epic dreams and epic fantasies - every citizen was free to believe absolutely anything, or to pretend to be absolutely anybody. Little by little, and then more quickly in the last several decades, the American invent-your-own-reality legacy of the Enlightenment superseded its more sober, rational, and empirical parts. We gave ourselves over to all manner of crackpot ideas and make-believe lifestyles designed to console or thrill or terrify us. In Fantasyland, Andersen brilliantly connects the dots that define this condition, portrays its scale and scope, and offers a fresh, bracing explanation of how our American journey has deposited us here. Fantasyland could not appear at a more perfect moment. If you want to understand the politics and culture of 21st-century America, if you want to know how the lines between reality and illusion have become dangerously blurred, you must listen to this book. Critic Reviews: "This is an important book - the indispensable book - for understanding America in the age of Trump. It's an eye-opening history filled with brilliant insights, a saga of how we were always susceptible to fantasy, from the Puritan fanatics to the talk-radio and Internet wackos who mix show business, hucksterism, and conspiracy theories." (Walter Isaacson) "Kurt Andersen is America's voice of reason. What is he - Canadian? The people who should read this book won't - because it's a book - but reality-based citizens will still get a kick out of this winning romp through centuries of American delusion." (Sarah Vowell) " Fantasyland presents the very best kind of idea - one that, in retrospect, seems obvious, but that took a seer like Kurt Andersen to piece together. The thinking and the writing are both dazzling; it is at once a history lesson and an oh-so-modern cri de coeur; it's an absolute joy to read and will leave your brain dancing with excitement long after you're done."

Title: The Evangelicals Subtitle: The Struggle to Shape America Author: Frances FitzGerald Narrator: Jacques Roy Format: Unabridged Length: 25 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-17 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 40 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Longlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction This groundbreaking book from Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Frances FitzGerald is the first to tell the powerful, dramatic story of the Evangelical movement in America - from the Puritan era to the 2016 presidential election. The evangelical movement began in the revivals of the 18th and 19th centuries, known in America as the Great Awakenings. A populist rebellion against the established churches, it became the dominant religious force in the country. During the 19th century, white evangelicals split apart dramatically, first North versus South and then, at the end of the century, modernist versus fundamentalist. After World War II, Billy Graham, the revivalist preacher, attracted enormous crowds and tried to gather all Protestants under his big tent, but the civil rights movement and the social revolution of the '60s drove them apart again. By the 1980s, Jerry Falwell and other Southern televangelists, such as Pat Robertson, had formed the Christian right. Protesting abortion and gay rights, they led the South into the Republican Party, and for 35 years they were the sole voice of evangelicals to be heard nationally. Eventually a younger generation of leaders protested the Christian right's close ties with the Republican Party and proposed a broader agenda of issues, such as climate change, gender equality, and immigration reform. Evangelicals have, in many ways, defined the nation. They have shaped our culture and our politics. Frances FitzGerald's narrative of this distinctively American movement is a major work of history, piecing together the centuries-long story for the first time. Evangelicals now constitute 25 percent of the American population, but they are no longer monolithic in their politics. They range from Tea Party supporters to social reformers. Still, with the decline of religious faith generally, FitzGerald suggests that evangelical churches must embrace ethnic minorities if they are to survive. Critic Reviews: "Massively learned and electrifying...magisterial." (The Christian Science Monitor) "A page turner.... We have long needed a fair-minded overview of this vitally important religious sensibility, and FitzGerald has now provided it."

Members Reviews: A Must Read for Anyone Seeking to Understand American History By critically and carefully examining the intellectual raw material surrounding the founding and building of America, Ibram X. Kendi is able to trace the roots of so many ideas back their origins, revealing for the reader a complex web of ideas invented as post hoc rationalizations of current and future brutality, exploitation, and injustice. Kendi proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that unjust policies and practices are not merely the result of existing social realities and public opinions, but that public opinion is shaped by strategic racist rationalizations, deployed to justify existing practice and policy. Many of the ideas are not at all new, but are just reiterations of ideas that go all the way back to the beginning, ideas that have been stamped onto our collective consciousness and must be disrupted and dismantled every single day. very informative I am very greatful to have pick this book by random. I learned so much. I knew some of the facts, which only kept my focus. yet, I wouldnt have looked at them from this angle.... which I def. agree. #Truth. It gets straight to the point. hits each point quickly. I had to go back in order not to miss a few key points in our nations history. I feel that it left some things out or didnt go into to much detail... maybe that was to keep on track and not get lost in another direction. I enjoyed every bit of it. thank you to the writer and speaker. Great job. Excellent book, tiring narration. Excellent developmental account of racism in America. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Fourth-Turning-Audiobook/B002UZN3YI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Fourth Turning Subtitle: An American Prophecy Author: William Strauss, Neil Howe Narrator: William Strauss, Neil Howe Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 12-07-01 Publisher: Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 869 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: William Strauss and Neil Howe base this vision on a provocative new theory of American history. With intellectual audacity, the authors look back 500 years and uncover a distinct pattern: History moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras - or "turnings" - that last about 20 years and always arrive in the same order. First comes a High, a period of confident growth as a new order takes root. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era as individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis - the Fourth Turning - when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Strauss and Howe locate today's America as midway through an Unraveling, roughly a decade away from the next era of Crisis. They show how generational dynamics are the key to understanding the cycles of American history and draw vivid portraits of all the modern generations: the can-do G.I.s, the mediating Silent, the self-absorbed Boomers, the pragmatic 13ers, and the child Millennials. Placed in the context of history's long rhythms, the persona and role of each generation becomes clear - as does the inevitability of the coming Crisis.

Title: The Fourth Turning Subtitle: An American Prophecy Author: William Strauss, Neil Howe Narrator: William Strauss, Neil Howe Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 12-07-01 Publisher: Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 869 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: William Strauss and Neil Howe base this vision on a provocative new theory of American history. With intellectual audacity, the authors look back 500 years and uncover a distinct pattern: History moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras - or "turnings" - that last about 20 years and always arrive in the same order. First comes a High, a period of confident growth as a new order takes root. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era as individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis - the Fourth Turning - when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Strauss and Howe locate today's America as midway through an Unraveling, roughly a decade away from the next era of Crisis. They show how generational dynamics are the key to understanding the cycles of American history and draw vivid portraits of all the modern generations: the can-do G.I.s, the mediating Silent, the self-absorbed Boomers, the pragmatic 13ers, and the child Millennials. Placed in the context of history's long rhythms, the persona and role of each generation becomes clear - as does the inevitability of the coming Crisis.

(USA Weekend) Members Reviews: Fascinating This book gave me a new perspective on our history and our possible future. This book was written in 1997 and I read it in 2010. It's not a book predicting the future, but it does make some forecasts that are pretty spot-on. I find this book quite valuable and would recommend this book to my children when they grow up. The knowledge in it is valuable in that it gives you foresight of cycles to come in our culture. I agree with the authors' premise that time is cyclical and not linear. As the World Turns... This book presents a fresh and fascinating viewpoint of how the order and relationship of generations to one another bring about great and unexpected changes in our society. The thesis builds upon a previous study done by the authors in an earlier book entitled "Generations" and works to apply the theories advanced in that book to the conditions as we have them today. Far more than a book of shallow prognosication, it equips each of us with a new lens that can be used to see relationships and trends heretofore invisible. I recommend it for anyone with an interest in history who wishes to challenge their staid views of the past. The grand unified theory of sociology People who really get what this book is saying find it changes their entire world views. I am one of them and cannot recommend it highly enough. Having said that, I also cannot do enough to recommend that you get paper and audio versions and consume them in parallel. Some of these concepts really need to be seen in tabular format to be understood. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/A-Colony-in-a-Nation-Audiobook/B01N5W5FOC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A Colony in a Nation Author: Chris Hayes Narrator: Chris Hayes Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs Language: English Release date: 03-21-17 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 899 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Emmy Award-winning news anchor and New York Times best-selling author Chris Hayes argues that there are really two Americas: a Colony and a Nation. America likes to tell itself that it inhabits a postracial world, but nearly every empirical measure - wealth, unemployment, incarceration, school segregation - reveals that racial inequality hasn't improved since 1968. With the clarity and originality that distinguished his prescient best seller Twilight of the Elites ("a stunning polemic," said Ta-Nehisi Coates), award-winning journalist Chris Hayes offers a powerful new framework in which to understand our current crisis. Hayes contends our country has fractured in two: the Colony and the Nation. In the Nation, we venerate the law. In the Colony, we obsess over order, fear trumps civil rights, and aggressive policing resembles occupation. How and why did Americans build a system where conditions in Ferguson and West Baltimore mirror those that sparked the American Revolution? Blending wide-ranging historical research with political, social, and economic analysis, A Colony in a Nation explains how a Nation founded on justice constructed the Colony - and how it threatens our democracy. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Chris Hayes) Tue, 21 Mar 2017 09:54:02 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/A-Colony-in-a-Nation-Audiobook/B01N5W5FOC thebookvoice.com 00:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: So much to this book! First of all, I really enjoyed listening to the author tell this story. He has such professional and personal ownership of the story and it resonates throughout. Which is good, because I know I'm going to have to re-listen to it, and possibly go buy a copy. There is so much to this story, and I thought I kind of understood the nuances of it before reading this. Not close. Every one needs to read this. we might understand each other so much better if we did. Great food for thought! This book does well to take us far back in our history to understand the roots of our not so new punishment and imprisonment system that has now run amok. Chris helps us to think of uur own prejudices and question what we consider to be valid beliefs. More myths busted. More wondering how we will get our society to fix this atrocity that continues every minute, every day. Thought provoking! This is not easy to listen to although interesting with excellent storytelling. It makes you question much you have previously thought. It is never boring! brilliantly written. I loved how he was able to connected the dots between the past colonial rule with the present and it's eye opening. I'm a huge fan of Chris Hayes and his passion and brilliance comes through in this book. His coverage and analysis of the events in Ferguson and the death of Michael Brown, Freddy Gray, Tamir Rice is spectacular. A Powerful Essay for All to Read! Chris Hayes 'A Colony in a Nation' coupled with Michelle Alexander's 'The New Jim Crow' provide wonderfully analytical look at law & order in America. While carefully detailing how the huge economic divide treats each.

Members Reviews: Our New "OLD MAN ELOQUENT" Rides Again David McCullough is a musing, thoughtful philosopher/historian. He is my favorite author in any genre and every type ever...period. Perhaps it is due to the way his writing transcends genre, his voice transcends ages, and his heart is for all that is good for America and the world. If I could have 5 minutes in person with him, I would shake his hand as a man, hug him as a grandfather, and sit at his feet as a father asking "Please tell me more." It's college commencment day, most of the time. If you could sum up The American Spirit in three words, what would they be? College commencement speech What was one of the most memorable moments of The American Spirit? Reading of JFK's inaugural address. What about David McCulloughs performance did you like? Provides an "at a glace" look at some truly great Americans. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, best taken in 30-45 minute chucks. Some of the speeches overlap in their themes, so it is good to finish up a chapter and marinate on his words for a bit. Any additional comments? His speeches were more inspirational that what I had received when graduating (Justice Clarence Thomas did mine at UGA - it was lacking in enthusiasm). Overall a good selection of speeches that makes you proud to be an American and encourages you to aspire to more in personal and public affairs. An American Icon I could listen to David MC read the phone book. there's something bitter sweet about sitting at his feet. American Spirit seems as though we are and what we stand for, but somehow seem to be forgetting losing overtime. They say that Robert E Lee was called the marble man, in my opinion David McCullough has replaced him as the monument to American ideals. Good But Not His Best I am not a literary critic but David McCullough is my favorite author for what it's worth. That said this is not my favorite work - 1776 also by David McCullough holds the title. Many of the speeches are similar which made it a little tiresome to get all the way through. Fortunately, there was enough wisdom sprinkled throughout to encourage me to power through it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/All-the-Single-Ladies-Audiobook/B019R1V0RE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: All the Single Ladies Subtitle: Unmarried Women and the Rise of an Independent Nation Author: Rebecca Traister Narrator: Candace Thaxton, Rebecca Traister - introduction Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 03-01-16 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 746 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: In a provocative, groundbreaking work, National Magazine Award finalist Rebecca Traister, "the most brilliant voice on feminism in this country" (Anne Lamott), traces the history of unmarried women in America who, through social, political, and economic means, have radically shaped our nation. For legions of women, living single isn't news; it's life. In 2009, the award-winning journalist Rebecca Traister started All the Single Ladies - a book she thought would be a work of contemporary journalism - about the 21st-century phenomenon of the American single woman. It was the year the proportion of American women who were married dropped below 50 percent, and the median age of first marriages, which had remained between 20 and 22 years old for nearly a century (1890-1980), had risen dramatically to 27. But over the course of her vast research and more than 100 interviews with academics, social scientists, and prominent single women, Traister discovered a startling truth: The phenomenon of the single woman in America is not a new one. And historically, when women were given options beyond early heterosexual marriage, the results were massive social change - temperance, abolition, secondary education, and more. Today, only 20 percent of Americans are wed by age 29, compared to nearly 60 percent in 1960. The Population Reference Bureau calls it a "dramatic reversal". All the Single Ladies is a remarkable portrait of contemporary American life and how we got here, through the lens of the single American woman. Covering class, race, and sexual orientation and filled with vivid anecdotes from fascinating contemporary and historical figures, All the Single Ladies is destined to be a classic work of social history and journalism. Exhaustively researched, brilliantly balanced, and told with Traister's signature wit and insight, this book should be shelved alongside Gail Collins' When Everything Changed. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Rebecca Traister) Tue, 01 Mar 2016 14:46:51 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/All-the-Single-Ladies-Audiobook/B019R1V0RE thebookvoice.com 11:39:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent book, destroyed by narration Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I would highly recommend this book in its written form. Except for the author's introduction, read very well by her, I was unable to tolerate the affected way the narrator read the book. I tried for several hours because the topic was so important to me and the book was so beautiful articulated in its depth and perspective about the state of single women in our culture. How could the performance have been better? The narrator probably has a lovely voice, but she choose to read at a clipped, authoritative cadence that was officious and very off putting. I had recommended this book to a close friend and she had the same experience. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Written-Out-of-History-Audiobook/B072FG7ZZB Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Written Out of History Subtitle: The Forgotten Founders Who Fought Big Government Author: Mike Lee Narrator: Kimberly Farr Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 05-30-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 202 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Some of America's most important founders have been erased from our history books. In the fight to restore the true meaning of the Constitution, their stories must be told. In the earliest days of our nation, a handful of unsung heroes - including women, slaves, and an Iroquois chief - made crucial contributions to our republic. They pioneered the ideas that led to the Bill of Rights, the separation of powers, and the abolition of slavery. Yet their faces haven't been printed on our currency or carved into any cliffs. Instead they were marginalized, silenced, or forgotten - sometimes by an accident of history, sometimes by design. In the thick of the debates over the Constitution, some founders warned about the dangers of giving too much power to the central government. Though they did not win every battle, these anti-Federalists and their allies managed to insert a system of checks and balances to protect the people from an intrusive federal government. Other forgotten figures were not politicians themselves but by their thoughts and actions influenced America's story. Yet successive generations have forgotten their message, leading to the creation of a vast federal bureaucracy that our founders would not recognize and did not want. Senator Mike Lee, one of the most consistent and impassioned opponents of an abusive federal government, tells the story of liberty's forgotten heroes. In this book you'll learn the true stories of founders such as: The popular movement that swept Republicans into power in 2010 and 2016 was led by Americans who rediscovered the majesty of the Constitution and knew the stories of Hamilton, Madison, and Washington. But we should also know the names of the contrarians who argued against them and who have been written out of history. If we knew of the heroic fights of these lost founders, we'd never have ended up with a government too big, too powerful, and too unresponsive to its citizens. The good news is that it's not too late to remember and to return to our first principles. Restoring the memory of these lost individuals will strike a crippling blow against big government. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Mike Lee) Tue, 30 May 2017 07:07:54 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Written-Out-of-History-Audiobook/B072FG7ZZB thebookvoice.com 08:02:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Yet successive generations have forgotten their message, leading to the creation of a vast federal bureaucracy that our founders would not recognize and did not want. Senator Mike Lee, one of the most consistent and impassioned opponents of an abusive federal government, tells the story of liberty's forgotten heroes. In this book you'll learn the true stories of founders such as: The popular movement that swept Republicans into power in 2010 and 2016 was led by Americans who rediscovered the majesty of the Constitution and knew the stories of Hamilton, Madison, and Washington. But we should also know the names of the contrarians who argued against them and who have been written out of history. If we knew of the heroic fights of these lost founders, we'd never have ended up with a government too big, too powerful, and too unresponsive to its citizens. The good news is that it's not too late to remember and to return to our first principles. Restoring the memory of these lost individuals will strike a crippling blow against big government. Members Reviews: If only we were told about these guys and gals One of the most important books I've read. The anti-Federalist were right the Federalists were wrong! We have a out of control federal government, in Washington D.C.. The anti-Federalists written about in this book, and others Senator Michael Lee hopefully will consider writing about also where the real heroes of the American Revolution pushing back on the BigFedGov Federalists. Spread the word about these founding fathers and mothers, in Written Out Of History. Buy for & also share this book with as many as you can. Wouldn't be a bad idea to read, listen to Senator Mike Lee's previous book I finished last month written in 2015... Our Lost Constitution... Interesting American History- not the usual stuff The most striking thing that this audiobook had mentioned that has stayed with me is the case of Aaron Burr and President Thomas Jefferson. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Theodore-Rex-Audiobook/B002VA9DAU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Theodore Rex Author: Edmund Morris Narrator: Jonathan Marosz Format: Unabridged Length: 25 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-03 Publisher: Books on Tape Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 817 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: TR's speed of thought and action, and his total command of all aspects of presidential leadership, from bureaucratic subterfuge to manipulation of the press, make him all but invincible in 1904, when he wins a second term by a historic landslide. Surprisingly, this victory transforms him from a patrician conservative to a progressive, responsible between 1905 and 1908 for a raft of enlightened legislation. Interspersed with many stories of Rooseveltian triumphs are some bitter episodes - notably a devastating lynching - that remind us of America's deep prejudices and fears. Theodore Rex does not attempt to justify TR's notorious action following the Brownsville Incident of 1906 - his worst mistake as president - but neither does this resolutely honest biography indulge in the easy wisdom of hindsight. It is written throughout in real time, reflecting the world as TR saw it. By the final chapter, as the great "Teddy" prepares to quit the White House, it will be a hard-hearted listener who does not share the sentiment of Henry Adams: "The old house will seem dull and sad when my Theodore has gone."

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: How did they find such a poor narrator? Would you try another book from Edmund Morris and/or Jonathan Marosz? I would certainly buy another book from Morris, however I will avoid Marosz as a narrator. He has a horrible habit of drawing out random words much to long, speaks slowly and treats the text as if he is singing a song. Unfortunately, he seems to enjoy the sound of his voice more than the text he has been asked to read. What did you like best about this story? It helps me to better understand a period of American history that has been glossed over in all of my history classes, where we think of civil war, maybe a bit of the war of 1812, barely mention the Spanish American war, and then skip to WWI. This is very unfortunate since much of our current "Americanism" was originally developed during this period, as Morris shows. Would you be willing to try another one of Jonathan Maroszs performances? No, he must be the worst narrator I have heard on audible. A man way ahead of his time Theodore Roosevelt what a guy!!! A whirlwind . A remarkable individual way, way, way ahead of his time. I recommend reading this book to those of you interested in all the details of his presidency AND to those of you who like reading about exceptional human beings. I cannot think of any other person at all similar. You must of course start with the first book of the trilogy: [book:The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt|40929]. This is the second, and I am off to read the third: [book:Colonel Roosevelt|7993566]. I know they are long, but they are worth it. Should I list some of the remarkable things Theodore achieved during his presidency? Is that what you want to know? The Panama Canal, the Pennsylvanian coal strike settlement, negotiations to end the Russo-Japanese War and the Moroccan crisis of 1906 for which he received the Nobel Peace Prize, the National Conservation Conference and anti-trust legislation, to name but a few. By reading the book you will understand the magnitude of each accomplishment. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Souls-of-Black-Folk-Audiobook/B002V1LFYG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

DuBois masterfully combines history, sociology, music, and poetry. His descriptions of the lives of Black (and White) people in the nineteenth-century U.S. are poignant and compassionate, his critiques are brilliant and courageous. His predictions of social injustice unrest arising from the failures of Reconstruction and continuing racial prejudice, were particularly wrenching. My only complaint is that Walter Covell read a little too fast - DuBois' prose is complex, as is the subject matter, and I got lost several times. Beautifully told Information told that relates to now society but with literature so strong hard not to want to continue for each passing chapter. very enlightening for this white listener However much I thought I understood about black experience, the stories and essays in this book have shown it to me in so much more depth. And now that another 100 years have passed, so much and so little has changed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Secret-History-of-Wonder-Woman-Audiobook/B00OLAWW4M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Secret History of Wonder Woman Author: Jill Lepore Narrator: Jill Lepore Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 10-28-14 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 482 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: A riveting work of historical detection revealing that the origins of one of the worlds most iconic superheroes hides within it a fascinating family story - and a crucial history of 20th-century feminism. Wonder Woman, created in 1941, is the most popular female superhero of all time. Aside from Superman and Batman, no superhero has lasted as long or commanded so vast and wildly passionate a following. Like every other superhero, Wonder Woman has a secret identity. Unlike every other superhero, she has also has a secret history. Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore has uncovered an astonishing trove of documents, including the never-before-seen private papers of William Moulton Marston, Wonder Woman's creator. Beginning in his undergraduate years at Harvard, Marston was influenced by early suffragists and feminists, starting with Emmeline Pankhurst, who was banned from speaking on campus in 1911, when Marston was a freshman. In the 1920s, Marston and his wife, Sadie Elizabeth Holloway, brought into their home Olive Byrne, the niece of Margaret Sanger, one of the most influential feminists of the 20th century. The Marston family story is a tale of drama, intrigue, and irony. In the 1930s, Marston and Byrne wrote a regular column for Family Circle celebrating conventional family life, even as they themselves pursued lives of extraordinary nonconformity. Marston, internationally known as an expert on truth - he invented the lie detector test - lived a life of secrets, only to spill them on the pages of Wonder Woman. The Secret History of Wonder Woman is a tour de force of intellectual and cultural history. Wonder Woman, Lepore argues, is the missing link in the history of the struggle for womens rights - a chain of events that begins with the women's suffrage campaigns of the early 1900s and ends with the troubled place of feminism a century later. Editorial Reviews: "The story of William Moulton Marston, the Harvard-trained psychologist, inventor of the first lie-detector test, and creator of Wonder Woman for DC Comics, is at once inspiring and disheartening. His unlikely career shows us (among other things) that the qualities that make it possible to innovate - swagger, cleverness, tenacityare the same ones that can render a person hopelessly out of sync with the reigning strictures of the times." (Bookforum) Critic Reviews: "Lepore restores Wonder Woman to her rightful place as an essential womens rights icon in this dynamically researched and interpreted, spectacularly illustrated, downright astounding work of discovery that injects new zest into the history of feminism." (Booklist) "Wonder Woman, feminist hero, was the creation of a husband and wife who led, on the surface, average existences. Behind the mask, however, they had extraordinarily unconventional lives. It takes Harvard professor and New Yorker writer Lepore to dig into the complicated story behind the lasso (of truth), and forgive me for sounding like Upworthy, but its true: what she uncovers will shock you. Lets just say that Wonder Womans S&M subtext was there for a reason."

Members Reviews: TJ English's best. Love his work. I really love TJ English's well document, well researched books. The Westies is my new favorite. I visited Hell's Kitchen a few years ago. Now I have to go back with this story fresh in my head. An outstanding crime story. Redemption I feel like today's justice system is built more to scorn wrong doers rather than rehabilitate them and offer some form of redemption. In Mickey Featherstone's case you can see when one is given the chance they can achieve it. I am a fan of T.J. English and this is another fantastic saga of the old gritty streets. Documentary that reads like a novel. This history of Hell's Kitchen and the Irish immigrants that formed an organized crime dynasty is well told, with great detail, and without politicization. The reader can form their own opinions as the events unfold. I especially like the follow up at the end that gives the reader closure on the participants. brutal! fascinating history considering how recent it all went down, relatively so. I didn't know about the "alliance" with the bigger named Italian families.

Members Reviews: He speaks the truth because he was a cog what we all thought about our school-experience but were afraid to say outloud. Tremendously moving. Astonishing To listen to this book and recognize denied thoughts about formal schooling is astonishing. In the age of the computer it is hard to imagine institutionalized compulsory schooling still exists. Excellent and inspirational Answers many questions of why we feel short changed and unfulfilled on completion of our academic sentence. Would recommend to anyone who has stumbles upon it ( that's serendipity) and is half thinking of reading / listening. Very insightful. Any additional comments? I don't know why I took so long to purchase this title! Definitely a food for thought listen, and not just for those disenchanted with the traditional schooling experience. I came away challenged to change the way my children are being educated, and we home educate! Engaging Book and Philosophy This is a very powerful treatise on the state of the American school system. It met my expectations based on the title. The author gives many convincing examples to support the "Dumbing Us Down". I thought back many times to my education and wished I could have a "do over". If you are considering homeschooling your child, this book will give you the push you need. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Anarchism-and-Other-Essays-Audiobook/B003W0TJ34 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Anarchism and Other Essays Author: Emma Goldman Narrator: Suzanne Toren Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 07-19-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 100 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Among the men and women prominent in the public life of early 20th-century America there are but few whose names are mentioned as often as that of Emma Goldman. Yet the real Emma Goldman is almost quite unknown. The sensational press has surrounded her name with so much misrepresentation and slander, it would seem almost a miracle that, in spite of this web of calumny, the truth breaks through and a better appreciation of this much maligned idealist begins to manifest itself. Here are powerful, penetrating, prophetic essays on direct action, the role of minorities, prison reform, puritan hypocrisy, and violence. Editorial Reviews: In the early 19th century, anarchist Emma Goldman was described as "the most dangerous woman in America". Her radical thought still seems highly contemporary in this audiobook, as she explores social and personal problems that are conspicuous today. Suzanne Toren captures the politics and opinions of this seminal thinker like a powerful orator at a podium. Her bold and impeccable delivery is a fitting match for the substance of Anarchism and Other Essays, an accessible book that was clearly ahead of its time. The performance opens with an illuminating biographical sketch of Goldman and then proceeds to express Goldman's opinions on everything from imprisonment to prostitution. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Emma Goldman) Mon, 19 Jul 2010 15:59:19 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Anarchism-and-Other-Essays-Audiobook/B003W0TJ34 thebookvoice.com 08:41:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The narration is crazy spectacular It really delivers on an anarchist perspective. It's facinating to see how far we've come and how much further we have to go. Critical reading for today's world Written in 1910, every bit of the knowledge that Goldman sought and disseminated here is painfully relevant today. Anarchism, as Goldman said elsewhere, will always prevail in the human spirit because it touches the underlying truths of capitalism, government, and authority. Despite smear tactics from the state and capitalist media, despite the important but controversial tactics of cultural anarchists and the blackbloc, one also comes to the believe that anarchism also touches on the fundamental truths of humanity. I highly recommend this book to any who wishes to emancipate themselves from the compact masses of droning capitalist cannon fodder. A good overview of Emma Goldman's beliefs. Would you consider the audio edition of Anarchism and Other Essays to be better than the print version? There is considerable emotion and simmering anger in the narration, which there should be. Would you recommend Anarchism and Other Essays to your friends? Why or why not? If, like I, you seek to learn something about an oft misunderstood person and philosophy (Anarchism) then this book will give you some concept and right some misunderstandings. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? Sometimes it got a bit monotonous and with the benefit of hindsight we can see all the flaws in Goldman's beliefs but it was a good reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Unwinding-Audiobook/B00CFQYYPY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Unwinding Subtitle: An Inner History of the New America Author: George Packer Narrator: Robert Fass Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 05-21-13 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 712 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: National Book Award, Nonfiction, 2013 A riveting examination of a nation in crisis, from one of the finest political journalists of our generation. American democracy is beset by a sense of crisis. Seismic shifts during a single generation have created a country of winners and losers, allowing unprecedented freedom while rending the social contract, driving the political system to the verge of breakdown, and setting citizens adrift to find new paths forward. In The Unwinding, George Packer, author of The Assassins Gate: America in Iraq, tells the story of the United States over the past three decades in an utterly original way, with his characteristically sharp eye for detail and gift for weaving together complex narratives. The Unwinding journeys through the lives of several Americans, including Dean Price, the son of tobacco farmers, who becomes an evangelist for a new economy in the rural South; Tammy Thomas, a factory worker in the Rust Belt trying to survive the collapse of her city; Jeff Connaughton, a Washington insider oscillating between political idealism and the lure of organized money; and Peter Thiel, a Silicon Valley billionaire who questions the Internets significance and arrives at a radical vision of the future. Packer interweaves these intimate stories with biographical sketches of the eras leading public figures, from Newt Gingrich to Jay-Z, and collages made from newspaper headlines, advertising slogans, and song lyrics that capture the flow of events and their undercurrents. The Unwinding portrays a superpower in danger of coming apart at the seams, its elites no longer elite, its institutions no longer working, its ordinary people left to improvise their own schemes for success and salvation. Packers novelistic and kaleidoscopic history of the new America is his most ambitious work to date.

Members Reviews: AMERICAN ANGER, FEAR, AND FRUSTRATION George Packer drives a stake into Americas heart in The Unwinding. American anger, fear, and frustration build in the minds of allwhether Republican, Democrat, Tea Partyer, or Libertarian. Whether an accolade of private enterprise or government, Packer offers stories of Americans that show American belief makes no difference because America is no longer a land of opportunity but a land of greed; not of the free but of the shackleda risk noted by Thomas Hobbes in the Leviathan. The shackles come from societys failure to protect individuals from the tyranny of special interests. One side argues that it is because of ineffective governmentthe other side argues it is because of too much government. The unwinding of the financial crises reflected in the dot-com bubble of 2000-2001 and the 2007-08 sub-prime mortgage crises unfolds in stories told by Packer in this disturbing narrative. America has become a nation of extremes with each extreme using whatever means necessary to deny success of either tea party, libertarian or occupy wall street followers. The consequence is a do-nothing congress, an ineffectual President, and a politicized Supreme Court. One is left with fear, anger, and frustration after completing Packers diatribe. The only consolation is in history. America has been in crises beforein 1776, 1789, 1865, 1929, 1941, 1951, 1967-68, 2001. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Medical-Apartheid-Audiobook/B01C92B6FE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Medical Apartheid Subtitle: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present Author: Harriet A. Washington Narrator: Ron Butler Format: Unabridged Length: 19 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 03-08-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 196 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Medical Apartheid is the first and only comprehensive history of medical experimentation on African Americans. Starting with the earliest encounters between black Americans and Western medical researchers and the racist pseudoscience that resulted, it details the ways both slaves and freedmen were used in hospitals for experiments conducted without their knowledge - a tradition that continues today within some black populations. It reveals how blacks have historically been prey to grave robbing as well as unauthorized autopsies and dissections. Moving into the 20th century, it shows how the pseudoscience of eugenics and social Darwinism were used to justify experimental exploitation and shoddy medical treatment of blacks. The product of years of prodigious research into medical journals and experimental reports long undisturbed, Medical Apartheid reveals the hidden underbelly of scientific research and makes possible, for the first time, an understanding of the roots of the African American health deficit.

Critic Reviews: "[C]ompulsively readable." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Sobering... but necessary. When I listened to this book, I immediately had a better understanding of my father's hesitancy to go to the doctor during his last 20 years of life. Chock full of FACTS from medical and government records and reports, as well as interviews with survivors, this book hits you in the face with deliberate atrocious acts against people of color by those sworn to "First do no harm"... and covered up by those sworn to protect and serve. It exposes greed by the many, action by very few, inaction by many in the justice system, and malice by many in the legislative system. It is an EXCELLENT read. Very sad and very sobering, but speaks volumes to what can happen when a human being does not value the life of another. Author composed this book so that it is interesting. I loved the way the book was composed, because it made for interesting reading .... Stuck to her main goal of encouraging African American people to research medical studies and to join them if deemed worthy. Jam-packed with eye- opening human experimentation that should never have been done on anyone. Although I think there is still human experimentation going on that should not be going on. Wow Every black person should read this. Great example of racism white supremacy how it still reigns present day.Question any medical procedure no matter how prestigious your doctor is An important book What a rich read, full of important facts and excellent contextual framing. As a public health professional, I was surprised to find out how much of the information in this book was omitted from my education. I feel as though his book should be an essential read for all public health and clinical professionals. Without understanding the history, there is no path forward. Medical Apartheid Excellent, I knew African Americans had been used as experimental subjects, but never to the degree discussed in this book. Additionally, the use of new drugs used, particularly on Africans is alarmingly and inhumane. It is my hope for 3rd and 2nd world countries and their leaders to take a more progressive stand for their people. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Skeptics-Guide-to-American-History-Audiobook/B00DHOS3PA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Stoler Format: Original Recording Length: 12 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 07-08-13 Publisher: The Great Courses Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2440 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: To take a skeptical approach to American history is not to dabble in imaginative conspiracy theories; rather, it's to reframe your understanding of this great nation's past and actually strengthen your appreciation for what makes American history such a fascinating chapter in the larger story of Western civilization. And in this bold 24-lecture series, you can do just that. Travel back in time and examine many commonly held myths and half-truths about American history and prompt yourself to think about what really happened in the nation's past - as opposed to what many believe happened. These lectures demonstrate how reconsidering some of the most popular notions of U.S. history can yield new (and sometimes startlingly different) interpretations of political, social, economic, and military events. But more than just debunking commonly accepted accounts, you'll be able to replace these misconceptions with insightful truths. Exploring both America's history and the verdicts that have been rendered about some of its most enduring figures - including George Washington, John Adams, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and many others - these lectures investigate a wide-ranging list of questions. What impact did other nations have on the American Revolution? Has George Washington always been revered as president? Do we now understand the true blunders in America's Vietnam policies and tactics? In exploring these and other questions, these lectures prove themselves to be a delightful intellectual experience that will allow you to rethink not just the facts of U.S. history, but also their meaning.

Members Reviews: Skeptical but Not Cynical I was a little apprehensive about taking this course because of the title. I read many history books, and I get really tired of revisionist history and cynical professors with an axe to grind against America. Given the title, I feared running into exactly this scenario. I was happily relieved to find that not to be the case with this course. The professor's goal is to shed light on American history myths and misunderstandings, but he does so in a respectful way that does not belittle America or ignore the nation's accomplishments. For example, he points out that George Washington lost nearly every battle he fought in the American Revolution, and, thus, Washington was not an unmatched tactical general. The professor points out, though, that Washington was a strategic master who won the war without winning all of the battles by making the British situation in America unsustainable and winning enough key battles to be successful. As another example, he discusses the myth that President Franklin Roosevelt "gave away" Eastern Europe to the Soviets at the end of World War II. The professor explains that the Soviets had already conquered Eastern Europe, and, instead of surrendering territory, Roosevelt negotiated territorial concessions from the Soviets, not vice-versa. The class was fascinating and thought provoking and, thankfully, not cynical or demeaning to America. 24 Lectures The American History not taught. This Great Course was very easy to follow and understand. It begins with the causes of the Revolutionary War and goes out to the Vietnam War. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Daily-Show-with-Jon-Stewart-Presents-America-The-Audiobook-Audiobook/B002V1BVV8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

American-style democracy is the world's most beloved form of government, which explains why so many other nations are eager for us to impose it on them. But what is American democracy? In America (The Audiobook), Jon Stewart and The Daily Show writing staff offer their insights into our unique system of government, dissecting its institutions, explaining its history and processes, and exploring the reasons why concepts like "one man, one vote", "government by the people", and "every vote counts" have become such popular urban myths. Among the topics: Editorial Reviews: Why we think it's Essential: Funny. Irreverant. Historic. If American history had ever been presented this poignantly, more of us might have paid attention. Stewart and friends run the gamut: republicans and democrats, deadpan and laughable, serious and totally absurd. The vast array of comedians each deliver hilarious soundbites and yet the book comes together with stunning coherence. Chris Doheny Critic Reviews: "Cheeky, irreverent, and playfully ingenuous....This humorous sendup of American politics never fails to entertain, poke fun, and provoke thought." (Publishers Weekly) "The devil's own comedic handiwork, a side-splitting guide to the abuses and absurdities built into our political processes and institutions....Sustained clever writing and a smart, durable premise....As with Mr. Stewart's priceless anchorman persona and his show's hawk-eyed editing for real news gaffes, there is enough truth here to make America almost as instructive as it is sly."

(The New York Times) Members Reviews: Runs hot and cold..but when it's hot...it's hot Listening to this book, I alternated between fits of side-hurting laughter and periods when it was a little slow. I'd estimate 25% of the time I found it hilarious, 50% amusing and the remainder a bit inane. However the 25% where you are laughing until tears run down your face makes it well worth being patient when they are off a bit. Overall, well worth the purchase price. Just don't listen to this while you are driving, or you might run off the road. Lost in the Translation Much of what made "America (The Textbook)" so funny is lost in the audiobook format (including the place on the inside cover where you put your name, the year, and condition of the book ). Sometimes there is no substitute for the real thing. Finally a book for stoned slackers... America (the Audiobook) is a fake Social Studies textbook brought to you by the same people that bring you a basic cable fake news show. If you love the Daily Show for its fart jokes and stories about the 'cooter festival,' then you will probably not enjoy most of this book. If you love the Daily Show for its sharp-witted writing and tounge-in-cheek satire then you should definitely download this book. The principles of the show narrate this audiobook with the same brilliant delivery that we have come to expect. I found myself laughing out loud on more than one occasion. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/The-Condemnation-of-Blackness-Audiobook/B073ZLFCW6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Condemnation of Blackness Subtitle: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America Author: Khalil Gibran Muhammad Narrator: Mirron Willis Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: Lynch mobs, chain gangs, and popular views of black Southern criminals that defined the Jim Crow South are well known. We know less about the role of the urban North in shaping views of race and crime in American society. Following the 1890 census - the first to measure the generation of African Americans born after slavery - crime statistics, new migration and immigration trends, and symbolic references to America as the promised land of opportunity were woven into a cautionary tale about the exceptional threat black people posed to modern urban society. Excessive arrest rates and overrepresentation in Northern prisons were seen by many whites - liberals and conservatives, Northerners and Southerners - as indisputable proof of blacks' inferiority. In the heyday of "separate but equal", what else but pathology could explain black failure in the "land of opportunity"? The idea of black criminality was crucial to the making of modern urban America, as were African Americans' own ideas about race and crime. Chronicling the emergence of deeply embedded notions of black people as a dangerous race of criminals by explicit contrast to working-class whites and European immigrants, this fascinating book reveals the influence such ideas have had on urban development and social policies.

Critic Reviews: "This important book is a vital contribution to our understanding of the role of racism in American society." (Aldon D. Morris, author of The Origins of the Civil Rights Movement) Members Reviews: For a very select audience This book isnt exactly what i was expecting. Its not really designed for a broad audience. The book provides an incredibly detailed (perhaps excruciating) history of how black crime statistics in the US were interpreted. It starts with the 1890 census and slowly works forward about 50 years (although the main focus is on 1890-1920). The book sticks very carefully to reviewing the history of thought in sociology and criminology. If you are writing a PhD thesis in either of these topics, the book will be interesting to you. But I would not recommend to a broader audience. The simple point - high rates of black incarceration reflect racist society, NOT that black people are inherently or culturally more prone to commit crime does not need all this detail. There is also a very large chunk of the book that focuses on the different help given to black southern immigrants vs European immigrants in Philadelphia. Its a great case study, but its extremely dry and really goes into more details than most people could possibly want. The author rarely speaks actively and only occasionally draws together the lessons from his work. It is instead a carful retelling of an impressive set of primary sources. I dont disagree with the books analysis but it just didnt feel like I was reading a book for a broad non-academic audience. The narrator is clear but didnt help bring the book to life. A fairly dry monotone added to my frustration. Given the dispassionate language with which the book is written, its not obvious he had much opportunity to do more. So in conclusion, its an impressive piece of work on an important topic. Just ask yourself if this is the kind of book you are after. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Overthrow-Audiobook/B002V8MSXQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Overthrow Subtitle: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq Author: Stephen Kinzer Narrator: Michael Prichard Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 06-08-06 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 335 votes Genres: History, American Publisher's Summary: "Regime change" did not begin with the administration of George W. Bush, but has been an integral part of U.S. foreign policy for more than one hundred years. Starting with the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 and continuing through the Spanish-American War and the Cold War and into our own time, the United States has not hesitated to overthrow governments that stood in the way of its political and economic goals. The invasion of Iraq in 2003 is the latest, though perhaps not the last, example of the dangers inherent in these operations. In Overthrow, Stephen Kinzer tells the stories of the audacious politicians, spies, military commanders, and business executives who took it upon themselves to depose monarchs, presidents, and prime ministers. He also shows that the U.S. government has often pursued these operations without understanding the countries involved; as a result, many of them have had disastrous long-term consequences. Critic Reviews: "[Kinzer] brings a rich narrative immediacy to all of his stories." (Publishers Weekly) "Kinzer's narrative abounds with unusual anecdotes, vivid description, and fine detail, demonstrating why he ranks among the best in popular foreign policy storytelling."

(The Washington Post's Book World) Members Reviews: A Great read. Kinzer's books should be must reading for all high school kids so they can understand where the previous leaders of our country went completely wrong. My 14 year old is reading them and going to drive his History teacher crazy. Looking at the dark side Like most countries, the US tends to highlight its successes and downplay its failures, thinking itself an idealistic champion and denying avaricious or base motivations. This book provides some balance to that PR-driven view by filling in some of the darker chapters of our history, ones rarely taught in our public schools. As the author states in his introduction, "The invasion of Iraq in 2003 was not an isolated episode. It was the culmination of a 110-year period during which Americans overthrew fourteen governments that displeased them for various ideological, political and economic reasons." The author isn't talking here about the world wars. He describes actions that were often based on a desire to protect American (sometimes multinational) corporations, though the public rationale was spun as protecting our national security or liberation of those in the country whose government was to be overthrown. Some of these histories are well known, most are not to anyone who hasn't benefited from some college-level exposure to the history and politcs of the 20th century. There's plenty here that will help put our actions into better perspective. Very interesting This is the first plausible explanation for our adventures in Iraq I have come across. Other than that, the author does a good job of explaining that we have met the enemy and he is us. I became interested when I heard the author interviewed on Bob Edwards XM show. Some of this is uncomfortable and some may see it as America bashing. Of course, much of what is here is offered with the clarity of hindsight. The author takes seemingly isolated incidents and examines them together. This was a good book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Ghostland-Audiobook/B01LWUHXEJ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Colin Dickey is on the trail of America's ghosts. Crammed into old houses and hotels, abandoned prisons and empty hospitals, the spirits that linger continue to capture our collective imagination, but why? His own fascination piqued by a house hunt in Los Angeles that revealed derelict foreclosures and "zombie homes", Dickey embarks on a journey across the continental United States to decode and unpack the American history repressed in our most famous haunted places. Some have established reputations as "the most haunted mansion in America" or "the most haunted prison"; others, like the haunted Indian burial grounds in West Virginia, evoke memories from the past our collective nation tries to forget. With boundless curiosity, Dickey conjures the dead by focusing on questions of the living - how do we, the living, deal with stories about ghosts, and how do we inhabit and move through spaces that have been deemed, for whatever reason, haunted? Paying attention not only to the true facts behind a ghost story but also to the ways in which changes to those facts are made - and why those changes are made - Dickey paints a version of American history left out of the textbooks, one of things left undone, crimes left unsolved. Spellbinding, scary, and wickedly insightful, Ghostland discovers the past we're most afraid to speak of aloud in the bright light of day is the same past that tends to linger in the ghost stories we whisper in the dark. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Colin Dickey) Tue, 04 Oct 2016 04:24:20 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/Ghostland-Audiobook/B01LWUHXEJ thebookvoice.com 10:48:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A fluffed-up college essay writ large. The basic premise of telling a scripted ghost story or haunting, then analyzing the cultural forces behind said story and the actual facts to give a more realistic interpretation of the situation is enough to drive a book. An "Adam Ruins Everything" exclusively for ghosts. Unfortunately the writer is incredibly fond of re-stating ideas with increasingly flowery paragraphs, as if one is reading a book that had a minimum word requirement and the author only had 2/3rds of said requirement the night before sending it out. There are some delightfully fascinating segments, especially if the psychology of haunted houses and ghost stories fascinate you. Unfortunately there are vast swaths of Ghostland so boring I caught myself tuning out the narration as unimportant noise for half an hour or more, only to discover I'd missed nothing important. Not really history What disappointed you about Ghostland? The lack of history and yet the lack of proof the author gives for his theories. This follows a set course: each chapter tells a famous ghost story and the author then goes on to debunk it. In that light, every analysis end up with one of three refrains: people using someone's tragedy for their entertainment, people smearing an innocent person's name/rep, and it never happened. Every single story breaks down into these three and it often get rather boring. It's quite obvious the author doesn't believe in ghosts (which would've been fine in itself if he kept a more open attitude about it all) and the tone of the book goes between scolding/accusatory and lecturing for much of it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/History/All-the-Real-Indians-Died-Off-Audiobook/B071LTHW6G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/64/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Tracing how these ideas evolved, and drawing from history, the authors disrupt long-held and enduring myths such as: Each chapter deftly shows how these myths are rooted in the fears and prejudice of European settlers and in the larger political agendas of a settler state aimed at acquiring Indigenous land and tied to narratives of erasure and disappearance. Accessibly written and revelatory, All the Real Indians Died Off challenges listeners to rethink what they have been taught about Native Americans and history. Critic Reviews: "Dunbar-Ortiz and Gilio-Whitaker admirably aim to explode popular, damaging, and inherently limiting myths about Native Americans, continuing the work begun in Dunbar-Ortiz's well-received An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: An OK Listen A myth that should have been included is that "Indians cannot be black". I appreciate the research done for this title. Especially bringing to light how the European whites try to taint a culture. Instead of focusing on white people and their relationship to Indians, focus on ethnic people as well. Caucasians do not want to admit that Indians were melanated. The ones in existence now are white washed. I am ethnic, and my grandmother has Chocktaw blood. Proof that melanated people have more Indian roots than whites. More research is needed.
