Minimumlist book with a twist.

Revisado: 04-12-18

The author describes how and why you can and should do more with less. It can help someone who wishes to exist our self centered materialistic culture. He further encourages one to turn outward and use the gains of needing less to helping others more. I have been moving this way slowly for years and found joy all along the way. Wish I’d read this book twenty years ago. Author who reads the book has a nice voice.

Well done.

This is what it says it is. It is a description of slavery as it exist in the world today. Obviously written by abolitionist, it chronicles everything from to the debt slavery so common in India to the Human trafficking prevalent in the West. While it does include some very specific narratives, it is a big picture book. Well done.

Learned much. Very pleasant.

Dr. Berkson had a very pleasant voice and pace. There is much to be gleaned in this lecture which covers a multitude of different traditions. I like that he presents as much history in the formation of the belief systems as he does the belief systems themselves. He makes a pitch for religious tolerance in the final lecture that I subscribe to.

The Cajun Story 1600-1803

Revisado: 03-01-16

This is wonderful. It tells of how some Frenchmen came to live in Acadia.
It tells how these Acadian came to live life there. It tells how these Acadian were forced to leave and the hardships they faced in diaspora. It tells how they came together again in South Louisiana.
It tells how these Cajuns first thrived amongst the swamps and prairies.
It tells of strong families, innate stubbornness, and joy that still mark these beautiful people.

Good history of New Orleans 1800-1920

Revisado: 02-28-16

I grew up on the Westbank and downloaded this hoping to find out a little more about the hometown.
Not only does the book cover Storyville, but it lays out much of the race relations and history of NOLA in the hundred years preceding it. Jazz is a side item in the book as it focuses more on prostitution and efforts to control it at the turn of the century.

Good Solid Information

Revisado: 12-25-15

This series has been very useful to give a basic overview and history of a region.
I like format and am grateful as they supply a good synopsis of whatever country/region that they cover. I only wish that they were longer and more detailed.

Fantastico!

The best way to learn Spanish I have found. And I've tried many things.
They state a short phrase in English.
They then state the Spanish twice.
Very effective.

12 year old demigods thought

Revisado: 06-26-15

I am pretty much in love with this story, I have to admit I didn't cry a little when it ended. I liked the narrator for some of the previous story's slightly more but I still enjoyed this one just as much. Wish there were more books :)
