Beavers, those icons of industriousness, have been gnawing down trees, building dams, shaping the land, and creating critical habitat in North America for at least a million years. Once one of the continent's most ubiquitous mammals, they ranged from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Rio Grande to the edge of the northern tundra. Wherever there was wood and water, there were beavers - 60 million (or more) - and wherever there were beavers, there were intricate natural communities that depended on their activities.

Understanding beavers and their history.
Revisado: 01-20-24
I enjoyed learning about facts, research, and stories about beavers. The narration was a bit slow.

In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe.

Important but sad story.
Revisado: 11-15-23
The narration was okay with three different narrators. Listen to a sample if concerned about the first narrator based on other reviews. An important story was told about the injustice and criminal activity toward the Osage community. I learned about the newly formed FBI who played an instrumental role in bringing some justice for the Osage community.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 903
In this myth-busting book, Daniel Lieberman, professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University and a pioneering researcher on the evolution of human physical activity, tells the story of how we never evolved to exercise - to do voluntary physical activity for the sake of health. Using his own research and experiences throughout the world, Lieberman recounts without jargon how and why humans evolved to walk, run, dig, and do other necessary and rewarding physical activities while avoiding needless exertion.

Lots of science presented but in interesting format. A personal touch including author’s and others excise experiences. Making this excise book unique author included studies with the few hunter and gatherer communities still present. Great narration.

From award-winning writer Leila Philip, Beaverland is a masterful work of narrative science writing, a book that highlights, though history and contemporary storytelling, how this weird rodent plays an oversized role in American history and its future. She follows fur trappers who lead her through waist high water, fur traders and fur auctioneers, as well as wildlife managers, PETA activists, Native American environmental vigilantes, scientists, engineers, and the colorful group of activists known as beaver believers.

Excellent narration. The author’s investigative journalism flourishes in an compelling story. I learned a lot about beavers and the role they played and are playing in history and the environment.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 90
In 1851, at a remote village in the Scandinavian tundra, a Lutheran minister known as Mad Lasse tries in vain to convert the native Sámi reindeer herders to his faith. But when one of the most respected herders has a dramatic awakening and dedicates his life to the church, his impetuous son, Ivvár, is left to guard their diminishing herd alone. By chance, he meets Mad Lasse’s daughter Willa, and their blossoming infatuation grows into something that ultimately crosses borders.

One of the Best Stories ever written!
Revisado: 06-09-23
Hanna Pylväinen tells a story with such depth of intimacy, that I felt a part— feeling the emotions of the moments as the story unfolds. Throughout the story the author weaves in the Sami’s way of life and how the settlers affect the Sami people. The narrator gets a 5 Star rating.
