This book is an extremely thorough look at the history of how Race relates to daily in the United States. Alicia Simmons has been teaching college courses on these topics for years and has a wonderful ability to provide a very engaging and accessible look at this often emotional and challenging topic.
I think this book will provide an important perspective to anyone who listens to it.

Drawing on the letters and records of individual soldiers, this compelling audio course invites you to explore the relationship between events on the battlefield and life on the home front. With more than 600,000 casualties, the Civil War cannot be understood by looking exclusively at famous figures like Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, and Ulysses S. Grant. As you’ll see, ordinary people — volunteer soldiers, runaway slaves, civilians in both the North and South — shaped the course of history.

The Skipped Facts of the American Civil War
- De Anonymous User en 01-10-20
Was this sacrifice needless?
Revisado: 02-19-20
Peter is one of the biggest history buffs I've heard of. You can hear the awe and joy in his voice as he explores a topic that he clearly loves. This product explores the Civil War in a very in-depth analysis and review of the US Civil War.
He spent years working at and around many of the historic sites, so has a personal connection (and even recommendations on which to visit) to the locations.

This 21-lecture course uses the shared heritage of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as a springboard for interfaith dialogue. As you progress through the course, you’ll explore the ways in which this conceptual framework promotes peace and understanding while recognizing difference. Reframing an old idea, the concept of “Abrahamic religions” endeavors to improve Christian--Muslim relations by patterning them after 20th-century Jewish--Christian dialogues.

What do drugs do to you?

What do drugs do to you?
Revisado: 02-19-20
Let's be honest, the main reason you're here is to see how those drugs you took in college have effected your brain long term.
Tom Borowski went into psychopharmacology for the same reason. This is a fascinating look into your brain. It can be a bit dry at times, but I feel that Tom does a great job of grounding the technical details with some relatable stories.

Is there other intelligent life in the universe, or are we all alone? Now you can explore this question through 17 compelling conversations with leading experts on extraterrestrial life. The prospect of alien intelligences has long captivated cosmologists, perplexed theologians, and provided rich fodder for science fiction writers. While we may doubt that the large-eyed, green-skinned figures of sci-fi films will one day descend to Earth in UFOs, it is far harder to reject wholesale the possibility that intelligent life - in some form yet unknown - exists.

Robert Brigham is a the kind of professor I WISH I had in college. I would have had much better grades if I had someone as knowledgeable and engaging as Robert. Definitely worth a listen if you have any interest in the history of the US.
