Two retired Texas Rangers, Captains Woodrow Call and Augustus "Gus" McCrae, lead a cattle drive from the small town of Lonesome Dove to the unsettled Montana territories. On their grueling journey, they are joined by Joshua Deets, a Black scout and former Ranger, Jake Spoon, a fugitive, and Newt Dobbs, a 17-year-old boy who may have family ties to Call. Richly authentic, beautifully written, always dramatic, Lonesome Dove will make listeners laugh and weep, dream and remember.

From primitive man's cowrie shells to the electronic cash card, from the markets of Timbuktu to the New York Stock Exchange, The History of Money explores how money and the myriad forms of exchange have affected humanity, and how they will continue to shape all aspects of our lives--economic, political, and personal.

interesting but elementary
Revisado: 11-17-20
Interesting and educational, but too much unrelated side tracking. subject matter also does not get into much depth, leaving me to think it was all pretty obvious, but I had never thought of it clearly before.

Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 128
In a London Pub called The Coach and Horses, four men gather. Three of them have been friends for half a lifetime, having fought in the same war, drunk in the same pubs, and bet on the same horses. Now they have come together to deliver the ashes of a fifth man, Jack Dodds, to the sea. Their journey, which will take them deep into their collective and individual pasts, lies at the center of an astonishingly moving novel of friendship, memory, and fate.

A greedy, philandering Baptist minister, Elmer Gantry turns to evangelism and becomes the leader of a large Methodist congregation. Often exposed as a fraud, he is never fully discredited. Elmer Gantry is considered a landmark American novel and one of the most penetrating studies of hypocrisy in modern literature. It portrays the evangelistic activity that was common in 1920s America as well as attitudes toward it.

Con man dressed up in preacher's clothing.
Revisado: 09-22-20
Very relevant for today. A con man convinces himself of his saintliness while destroying other people's lives while he amasses wealth and power, but always beholden to someone else. Sound like anyone you know? Consistent with other great books by Sinclair Lewis.

A must read for all Americans.
Revisado: 02-10-20
A must read for all Americans. Rather than simply accept or reject the information provided and arguments presented, listen critically, compare these to your knowledge of the events described and argue with yourself and others based on confirmed information. Finally, absorb the final plea of the last chapter. Despite the popular conception, this is not a partisan book.

The Sepher Yetzirah or Book of Formation is perhaps the oldest rabbinical treatise of Kabbalistic philosophy which is still extant. This thoroughly re-edited and revised version helps bring this text to life.

Good, but missing something
- De Michael en 12-28-12
Not as good as anticipated
Revisado: 05-30-19
Had difficulty getting to the end. The first several plats were very enjoyable, and the interviews interesting, but the themes became repetitive and the acting somewhat blah, particularly with Plaza Suite and The Odd Couple. As to that last one, I guess I was spoiled by the movie version with Walter Matthau and Tony Randall. I definitely expected more from this set of plays.

It was the decade of a World War and a Cold War. It was the decade of the Zoot Suit and FDR. But most of all, it was the decade of Jack Benny! Radio's favorite comedian truly came into his own during the 1940s.
