Very interesting at every turn

I don't have much to add to all the other reviews I've seen of this book. The only downside is the quality of the recording. It sounds like it was recorded on a laptop.

Humans have long turned to gardens—both real and imaginary—for sanctuary from the frenzy and tumult that surrounds them. Those gardens may be as far away from everyday reality as Gilgamesh’s garden of the gods or as near as our own backyard, but in their very conception and the marks they bear of human care and cultivation, gardens stand as restorative, nourishing, necessary havens.

Another excellent book by Robert Harrison
Revisado: 05-19-17
Harrison's vision is always to connect how we live with insights from civilization's literary heritage. And he does a breathtaking job. His language is erudite but accessible and often poetic. The only nit I have with this audio book is the reader sounds a bit too much like a Top-40 radio announcer, and while his voice is good it's not well matched to the material.

Cute

A bit too twee for my taste. But that's just me. I liked Steve Martin's stuff better when he was just plain silly.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 430
In the century after the Civil War, an economic revolution improved the American standard of living in ways previously unimaginable. Electric lighting, indoor plumbing, home appliances, motor vehicles, air travel, air conditioning, and television transformed households and workplaces. With medical advances, life expectancy between 1870 and 1970 grew from 45 to 72 years. The Rise and Fall of American Growth provides an in-depth account of this momentous era.

Excellent study
Revisado: 04-27-17
Gordon does a masterful job in presenting extreme complexity without simplification. He makes a case for the one time growth window of 1870-1970 and, in almost sheer poetry, cites everything from haircuts to train tickets demonstrating the forces of productivity.
