It is 1870 and Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd travels through northern Texas, giving live readings to paying audiences hungry for news of the world. An elderly widower who has lived through three wars and fought in two of them, the captain enjoys his rootless, solitary existence. In Wichita Falls, he is offered a $50 gold piece to deliver a young orphan to her relatives in San Antonio. Four years earlier, a band of Kiowa raiders killed Johanna's parents and sister; sparing the little girl, they raised her as one of their own.

This is a beautiful story. My family came to Texas in 1835, They must have felt the terror of possible Indian raids. This book is so gentle with the presentation of what it was like when civility of the white man clashed with the civility of the indigenous people. Two ancient cultures with impossible barriers to coexistence left wreaking their damage on innocent children.

Narrated by Emmy Award–winning actor Martin Sheen, The Home Front: Life in America During World War II takes listeners into the lives of Americans at home—part of the Greatest Generation—who supported the war effort and sustained the country during wartime. The war brought immediate, life-changing shifts: the rationing of meat, dairy products, and sugar; an explosion of war-related jobs; and, despite mixed signals, a greater role for women working outside the home.

World War II
Revisado: 11-10-19
This book tells a story about the USA in a time that changed us forever. My own family left the farm for work in Houston. Now I have an idea of the forces that came together to change America from a rural nation to an economic powerhouse. My family never forgot their rural roots, but we put down new roots in a boiling, bubbling city and had to hang on as it exploded in growth and industrial power around us.

Faced with the ceaseless stream of news about war, crime, and terrorism, one could easily think we live in the most violent age ever seen. Yet as New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows in this startling and engaging new work, just the opposite is true: violence has been diminishing for millennia and we may be living in the most peaceful time in our species's existence.

Difficult listen
Revisado: 02-09-18
Would you try another book from Steven Pinker and/or Arthur Morey?
Yes
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The theory and analysis is very thorough, but it is very difficult to listen to the data-heavy material without succinct conclusions surfacing. This book has a great amount of data, a testament to the author's depth of research, but it is overkill without enough summarization to enable the listener to make sensible progress through the data.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The clarity of the voice is overpowered by the firehose quantity of data.
Do you think The Better Angels of Our Nature needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, unless it was a summary and comparison between this theory and others.
Any additional comments?
This is one of the few audiobooks I could not bring myself to complete.
