It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 61,437
How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

Gladwell chooses a topic that is so pressing. He connects our evolution, our habits, our policies, and our assumptiond. His ability to blend the individual and a global gives his work such power. Read with great presence by the author- always a plus - with production enhancements added.

The Michel Thomas Method teaches everyday conversational language that will allow you to communicate in a wide variety of situations, empowered by the ability to create your own sentences and use the language instinctively, having absorbed the vocabulary and grammatical structures. These all-audio courses were perfected over 25 years by gifted linguist and teacher Michel Thomas, and provide an accelerated method for language learning that is truly revolutionary.

- SPQR
- A History of Ancient Rome
- By: Mary Beard
- Narrated by: Phyllida Nash
A great way to learn what Roman history means
Reviewed: 05-20-22
Rather than taking us through year by year, wars, emperors, and events, Mary Beard shows us trends, significance, turns of tides, and problems of history. She shows us historical evidence in a realistic light. This book is easy to understand. There's not a lot to memorize. There is a lot of richness. This is not your middle school Roman history unit. It is a grown-up's history, with meaning and connection to our life in the 21st century.
This is the 1st time I've heard a nonfiction audiobook read by someone other than the author when I didn't feel that a distracting layer of artifice had been inserted. Phyllida Nash does a great job. It surprised me every time I realized she was not Mary Beard.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 564
What story begins in a bedroom in suburban New Jersey in the early '60s, unfolds on some of the country's largest stages, and then ranges across the globe, demonstrating over and over again how rock and roll has the power to change the world for the better? This story. The first true heartbeat of Unrequited Infatuations is the moment when Stevie Van Zandt trades in his devotion to the Baptist religion for an obsession with rock and roll.

Story5 out of 5 stars 3,320
Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis of 2008 to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure, she found a root problem: racism in our politics and policymaking. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all.

Ty Seidule grew up revering Robert E. Lee. From his southern childhood to his service in the US Army, every part of his life reinforced the Lost Cause myth: that Lee was the greatest man who ever lived, and that the Confederates were underdogs who lost the Civil War with honor. Now, as a retired brigadier general and Professor Emeritus of History at West Point, his view has radically changed. From a soldier, a scholar, and a southerner, Ty Seidule believes that American history demands a reckoning.

In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.

Life-changing, Not to be Missed
Reviewed: 09-01-20
This book is so powerful. I love it for the individual stories. They will stay with me. The lens of caste, rather than racism, gets out of arguments about what people feel in their hearts and gets down to the practices and laws that create inequality. I wish everyone would read this book. I will make changes in my life to help dismantle the United States' caste system. It is relentlessly brutal to those at the bottom and cheats all of us.

In September 1998, Michael J. Fox stunned the world by announcing he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease: a degenerative neurological condition. In fact, he had been secretly fighting it for seven years. The worldwide response was staggering. Fortunately, he had accepted the diagnosis and by the time the public started grieving for him, he had stopped grieving for himself.
