Historia
Throughout human history, certain drinks have done much more than just quench thirst. As Tom Standage relates with authority and charm, six of them have had a surprisingly pervasive influence on the course of history, becoming the defining drink during a pivotal historical period. A History of the World in 6 Glasses tells the story of humanity from the Stone Age to the 21st century through the lens of beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola.

Historia
David M. Potter's Pulitzer Prize-winning The Impending Crisis is the definitive history of antebellum America. Potter's sweeping epic masterfully charts the chaotic forces that climaxed with the outbreak of the Civil War: westward expansion, the divisive issue of slavery, the Dred Scott decision, John Brown's uprising, the ascension of Abraham Lincoln, and the drama of Southern secession.

An In-depth Study

Excellent dive into the political, economic, and social forces that brought the United States to Civil War. I teach early American history, and I found this book to be very informative. A basic knowledge of this period of U.S. History is necessary to fully appreciate the information in this book.

Interesting Material but Mediocre Narrator
Revisado: 12-28-24
Like many of the Great Courses series, this has some good material. However, the professor who narrates his material is too monotone; too soothing. Be careful if you listen to this while driving, because he will lull you to sleep.

Historia
Killing the Witches revisits one of the most frightening and inexplicable episodes in American history: the events of 1692 and 1693 in Salem Village, Massachusetts. What began as a mysterious affliction of two young girls who suffered violent fits and exhibited strange behavior soon spread to other young women. Rumors of demonic possession and witchcraft consumed Salem. Soon three women were arrested under suspicion of being witches—but as the hysteria spread, more than 200 people were accused. Thirty were found guilty, twenty were executed, and others died in jail or their lives were ruined.

Interesting and Engaging BUT Almost Feels Like 3 Books in One
Revisado: 10-16-24
Like other books in the Killing series, there is lots of good information and the style is very engaging. However, this one feels a bit disjointed at times. The first half of the book is devoted to the Salem Witch Trials. Then, roughly the next third deals with religious liberty within the context of the Revolution and Constitutional Convention. Finally, the book rounds out with the modern account of the true story behind the book and movie, The Exorcist. Everything is tied together at the end of the book, but it’s not exactly clear where things are heading at times. Still, well worth the listen - some very interesting history all around.

This would probably best serve someone with limited knowledge of the American Civil War. However, it has some bits of info that would serve those who are more versed in the subject, as well. Overall, well done.

Historia
Between 1861 and 1865, the clash of the greatest armies the Western hemisphere had ever seen turned small towns, little-known streams, and obscure meadows in the American countryside into names we will always remember. In those great battles, those streams ran red with blood-and the United States was truly born.

Historia
Four decades ago, the areas around Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks sheltered the last few hundred surviving grizzlies in the lower 48 states. Protected by the Endangered Species Act, their population has surged to more than 1,500, and this burgeoning number of grizzlies now collides with the increasingly populated landscape of the 21st-century American West. Montana journalist Robert Chaney chronicles the resurgence of this charismatic species against the backdrop of the country's long history with the bear.

Seeking to undermine the very fabric of the Empire with their arcane warp-sorcery, the skaven, twisted Chaos rat-men, are at large in the reeking sewers beneath the city. Led by Grey Seer Thanquol, the servants of the Horned Rat are determined to overthrow this bastion of humanity. Against such forces, what possible threat can just two hard-bitten adventurers pose?
