Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 62
Broadway takes us on a mile-by-mile journey that traces the gradual evolution of the 17th century's Brede Wegh, a muddy cow path in a backwater Dutch settlement, to the 20th century's Great White Way. We learn why one side of the street was once considered more fashionable than the other; witness construction of the Ansonia Apartments, Trinity Church, and the Flatiron Building and the burning of P. T. Barnum's American Museum; and discover that Columbia University was built on the site of an insane asylum.

Chefs, Drugs and Rock & Roll transports listeners back in time to witness the remarkable evolution of the American restaurant chef in the 1970s and 1980s. Andrew Friedman goes inside Chez Panisse and other Bay Area restaurants to show how the politically charged backdrop of Berkeley helped spark this new profession; into the historically underrated community of Los Angeles chefs, including a young Wolfgang Puck; and into the clash of cultures between established French chefs in New York City and the American game changers.

Living History
Revisado: 12-04-24
How fun to read about a time that I lived through. The San Francisco food scene in the 70's and 80's was bursting with new restaurants, new ideas and celebrity chefs. Friedman, captures the era from Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York at a time when chefs were all doing their thing and did not realize they were making history. He takes the reader from the early days of restaurants , not just Chez Panisse, but so many others. His interviews with the chefs and their colorful language has a really earthy feel, just like the food they were cooking. Like other reviews, I cringed at some of the pronunciations from the narrator. Simply appalling he would not find the correct way to say things, and not just French food terms, but towns and cities .

I hesitated to read this because of " one more " nazi story. It is wonderful.
Beautiful writing, and captivating story. No matter how much you have read of WWII, or if you are new to the genre, this is a must read.

Intelligent, majestic, and loyal, with lifespans matching our own, elephants are among the greatest of the wonders gracing the African wilds. Yet in the 1970s and 1980s, about 1,000 of these captivating creatures were slaughtered in Zambia each year, killed for their valuable ivory tusks. When biologists Mark and Delia Owens, residing in Africa to study lions, found themselves in the middle of a poaching fray, they took the only side they morally could: that of the elephants.

This is history that we should all learn from. Two dedicated Americans who save the elephants from poachers. Though past tense, I totally enjoyed their story.

Behind the wheel is the young Dust Bowl rowdy Woodrow.

A very sweet story with a lot of lessons for life.
Good history of the dust bowl.
At first the narrator was annoying, but then you realize it's the perfect voice for the character who is speaking. You come to love him, Woody Nickel!

Kentucky, 1850. An enslaved groom named Jarret and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding that will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the South. When the nation erupts in civil war, an itinerant young artist who has made his name on paintings of the racehorse takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous night, he reunites with the stallion and his groom, very far from the glamor of any racetrack.

I loved this book! The narration is excellent and the story is fascinating. It's amazing that the author was able to create a story from the pieces of actual history about this race horse. Even if you are not interested in horses, or horse racing, this is a story that will not only grab you from the first page, but will stay with you long after the book is finished.
