Story3.5 out of 5 stars 7
Though several historians had published works on America's westward expansion prior, Paxson's Pulitzer Prize winning study was groundbreaking in its complete and unified presentation. Beginning with a survey of the frontier at the end of the French and Indian War and proceeding to follow the frontier westward until the close of the period of settlement in about 1890, Paxson's cross-sectional method carries the narrative in a wide windrow of detail, serving as a detailed and scholarly synthesis of the fragmentary work of previous historians.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 27
Uta Hagen, one of the world's most renowned stage actresses, also taught acting for more than 40 years at the HB Studio in New York. Her first book, Respect for Acting, published in 1973, remains a best seller in print. In this brand new audio edition of her second classic book, A Challenge for the Actor, she greatly expands her thinking about acting in a work that brings the full flowering of her artistry, both as an actor and as a teacher. She raises the issue of the actor's goals and examines the specifics of the actor's techniques.

Must-listen for all actors! I agree wholeheartedly with the other reviews-- not sure why that one person's star rating is so low though, as it seems like the reviewer loved the audiobook. Such a great audiobook, and narrated amazingly by Barbara Rosenblat.

In Lost Tribes and Promised Lands, celebrated historian and cultural critic Ronald Sanders offers a compelling and ideology-shattering history of racial prejudice and myth as shaped by political, religious, and economic forces from the 14th Century to the present day. Written with clear-eyed vigor, Sanders draws on a broad history of art, psychology, politics, and religion to inform his striking and soundly reasoned assertions.

fascinating book and great narration
Reviewed: 08-11-20
I came to this book by way of Malcolm Gladwell's "Talking to Strangers" and I'm so glad I did! Dr. Levine's approach is incredibly thorough but still very accessible to a layperson like me. I was given this audiobook for free in exchange for an honest review. Speaking candidly, this is a must-listen for anyone interested in the science of deception.
Also, special shout out to the narrator-- he carries you through a lot of very complex concepts, relayed in great detail, in a way that is dynamic and compelling enough to maintain rapt interest. Very well read and well done all together.

Timothy R. Levine’s Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Social Science of Lying and Deception recounts a decades-long program of empirical research that culminates in a new theory of deception-truth-default theory. This theory holds that the content of incoming communication is typically and uncritically accepted as true, and most of the time, this is good. Truth-default allows humans to function socially.

I learned a lot from this audiobook-- there's some great information on Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD, and Autism that was illuminating and supplemented the exercises really well. Good narration too-- very pleasant to listen to Camille Thurmond's warm and knowledgeable voice.

The original Spiritual Midwifery, published in 1976, introduced an entire generation of young women to the possibility of home birth and breast feeding. It also breathed new life into the all-but-vanished field of midwifery. The current edition of this classic book on home birth is now an audiobook, with updated information on the safety of natural childbirth, new birthing stories, and the most recent statistics on births managed by The Farm Midwives.

Camille Mazant does justice to these inspiring stories. I learned so much about different people's processes of natural birth and genuinely enjoyed listening to her reading. Ina May Garten has done and seen some amazing things; she is a veritable wealth of knowledge and we are lucky she's shared so much of it in this work!
