Taking his typically in-depth, historically-informed view, Thom Hartmann examines the brutal role guns have played in American history, from the genocide of the Native Americans to the enforcement of slavery (Slave Patrols are in fact the Second Amendment’s “well-regulated militias”) and the racist post-Civil War social order. He shows how the NRA and conservative Supreme Court justices used specious logic to invent a virtually unlimited individual right to own guns, which has enabled the ever-growing number of mass shootings in the United States.

Really twisted the truth
Revisado: 06-28-23
Not a balanced version of the facts, very left wing point of view. Trying to compare the US with other non democratic countries is pointless.

Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as he found it in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to “write a history of the world without leaving home.”

Not exactly what I was expecting
Revisado: 07-11-13
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I enjoyed the book and the information but I did not always see how the information related to the room that Bill was discussing.
Would you recommend At Home to your friends? Why or why not?
Yes, if they like mostly British history.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes
Did At Home inspire you to do anything?
I made me thankful I live in the 21st century.

Nothing useful
Revisado: 07-11-13
What disappointed you about The First 20 Hours?
I was looking for more technique and motivation. I was not interested in what Josh learned only in the process. This book could have been reduced to three chapters.
What do you think your next listen will be?
The rise of Theodore Roosevelt. I like more bio's, I learn more others accomplishments, than I did from this book.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Josh Kaufman?
No, I think he needs to find someone else to narrate his books.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I only learned about two web sites and one wind meter.
Any additional comments?
I already knew that I needed to research and practice and the information that Josh provided was not new.
