honest history and nothing else

Revisado: 01-25-24

The details, accuracy, and use of personal corespondence from such historic figures, like President Lincoln, General Grant, General Lee, or a common enlisted soldiers journal entries, or articles from news paper published during the war provides alot of the context required to understand everything that was occurring leading up to and through out the American Civil War. When nuanced understanding is required more than ever in today's political, social, and educational environment a 'Glorious Cause' delivers. Do not rush the book take you time, and book mark all the facts that you will learn while listening. The truth sometimes is crazier then fiction.

life of a stoic

Revisado: 12-22-18

great to listen too but better to read. the stoic philosophy of marcus aurelius is not for the faint of heart. nor is it for those who want to read it once and change the course of their life. to right the ship takes much work.

In 25 hours, you can listen to the history that makes up our legal system. From the roots in common law traced to England to modern tort cases that make every day citizens ask if the legal can handle the complexity of the modern word and every landmark case in between.
