Joseph F. Smith was born in 1838 to Hyrum Smith and Mary Fielding Smith. Six years later both his father and his uncle, Joseph Smith Jr., the founding prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, were murdered in Carthage, Illinois. The trauma of that event remained with Joseph F. for the rest of his life, affecting his personal behavior and public tenure in the highest tiers of the LDS Church, including the post of president from 1901 until his death in 1918.

We all think we know the South. Even those who have never lived there can rattle off a list of signifiers: the Civil War, Gone with the Wind, the Ku Klux Klan, plantations, football, Jim Crow, slavery. But the idiosyncrasies, dispositions, and habits of the region are stranger and more complex than much of the country tends to acknowledge. In South to America, Imani Perry shows that the meaning of American is inextricably linked with the South, and that our understanding of its history and culture is the key to understanding the nation as a whole.

It jumps around so much that I got whiplash. no line of thought or reason to follow. Had to give up half way through.

This is a terrific audiobook. It's interesting, well-written, and timely. It's the story of a textbook editor who retires, reads the popular book The Wild Effect and decides to hike the Appalachian Trail - and have an unexpected adventure! The tone is wry humor, tongue in cheek - the author has a great sense of humor, is perky, and as she learns in this adventure, is often in over her head! She is a very likeable character.

Appalachian Trail ...personal memoirs

Really?
Revisado: 09-09-18
Listened to this on the way to a long backpacking trip. Parts are so inaccurate as to make me laugh. She pitched her tend on a 45 degree slope.... and then slept in it... Really? She could only walk 20 steps and then stop... for the entire AP.... Really? She would place her feet in the exact place as her hiking partners foot steps..... Really? Later she closes her eyes whenever they traverse scree or boulders so she wont see how her partner crossed.... Really? Look at the cover with the rather new boots with brand new duct tape stuck on... Really? She hiked the AP.... Really?

Fascinating but a bit numbery and dry
Revisado: 09-09-18
Awesome and I enjoyed it but I am kind of a numbers guy. The numbers and machinations get a bit long but if you into that stuff, it is a great tale.

Harriet Tubman is one of the giants of American history - a fearless visionary who led scores of her fellow slaves to freedom and battled courageously behind enemy lines during the Civil War. And yet in the century since her death, next to nothing has been written about this extraordinary woman aside from juvenile biographies. The truth about Harriet Tubman has become lost inside a legend woven of racial and gender stereotypes.

Sad that we know so little
Revisado: 09-09-18
The book is mostly about the times around Tubman. Regrettably this wonderful life has been mostly lost as so little first hand information was recorded. The story is as good as it can be given the limitations.

In this extraordinary work, Beth Macy takes us into the epicenter of a national drama that has unfolded over two decades. From the labs and marketing departments of big pharma to local doctor's offices; wealthy suburbs to distressed small communities in Central Appalachia; from distant cities to once-idyllic farm towns; the spread of opioid addiction follows a tortuous trajectory that illustrates how this crisis has persisted for so long and become so firmly entrenched.

Useful, but recommend Dreamland instead

Every health care provider should read this book.
Revisado: 09-09-18
Everyone with a DEA license must read this book. It is terrifying and eye opening. I have always considered myself to be very tight with writing of narcotics. This book reinforces and increases my concerns with every script I sign. It is not a dry numbers book, rather a heart tearing tale of the destruction of lives, families and communities.
Must read.
