Historia
Walter F. White led two lives: one as a leader of the Harlem Renaissance and the NAACP in the early twentieth century; the other as a white newspaperman who covered lynching crimes in the Deep South at the blazing height of racial violence. Born mixed race and with very fair skin and straight hair, White was able to “pass” for white. He leveraged this ambiguity as a reporter, bringing to light the darkest crimes in America and helping to plant the seeds of the civil rights movement.

Historia
Biographer and historian Stephen B. Oates tells the story of the coming of the American Civil War through the voices and perspectives of 13 principal players in the drama, from Thomas Jefferson and Henry Clay in the Missouri crisis of 1820 down to Stephen A. Douglas, Jefferson Davis, and Abraham Lincoln in the final crisis of 1861. This innovative approach shows the crucial role that perception of events played in the sectional hostilities that pushed the United States irreversibly toward a national calamity.

absorbing and informative
Revisado: 10-10-23
this book is a treasure trove effects presented in an engaging style. you get a good long time to absorb the details of many individual lives, major players in the lead up to the civil war. the individuals are well chosen and represent diverse viewpoints. it feels like acquiring an intimate knowledge of these individuals' biographies and characters, while at the same time gaining higher level facts about the societies in which they lived, and the major events leading to the war, with the interpretations given to them by the players themselves. the author has done the work to make reading these older voices easier for a modern reader. in sum, an excellent work.

hilarious
Revisado: 05-22-23
extremely funny. it is a medieval epic pasted onto a satire about modern Life. absurdist, even kind of sweet. don't miss the poking fun of corporate speak.

Historia
Geology is often thought of as simply the study of rocks. In reality, geology is the study of our planet on all scales, from microscopic to planet-wide, and ranging in time from almost instantaneous events, like earthquakes, to the glacially slow motion of the tectonic plates. Everything we know about our world from a geologic perspective is based on information locked into the rock record and the job of a geologist is to tease out that story through a wide variety of observations. This insightful course explores a range of topics that help to tell the story of Earth and to explain the discipline of Geology and the role of the geologist.

Historia
Jack Diller is just one more struggling actor on the road to nowhere. He’s got an agent who barely remembers his name, his ex-girlfriend has hooked up with a Silicon Valley dude, and the milk in his fridge is so far past its sell-by date it’s historic. The only way Jack can scrape together a bare existence is by delivering food to exactly the types of successful people he wishes he could be. Then, one day, a very strange audiobook shows up on his phone.

Historia
In his Introduction, Abraham Kaplan places Dewey's philosophy of art within the context of his pragmatism. Kaplan demonstrates in Dewey's esthetic theory his traditional "movement from a dualism to a monism" and discusses whether Dewey's viewpoint is that of the artist, the respondent, or the critic.

Your life can be a work of art
Revisado: 11-20-20
This book can positively change your life, because it shows you that your life can be a work of art, and inspires you, and gives you the tools for creating that work. Dewey argues that art is not something that hangs in a museum, but is rather an experience rooted in the active exercise of living a significant and whole-hearted life. Therefore this theory of art is applicable to living your life.
You can read this book when you are feeling down, and it can give you energy and hope. You can read this book when you are confused, and it can show you a path to follow. Although the only reality acknowledged in this work is a natural and not a supernatural one, this book is like a Bible to me, because it brings me solace during times of tribulation, and helps me to see the deepest meaning of my own life. If, when reading it, you compare what it says to your situation and to your prospects, then perhaps you can take as much encouragement and assistance from it as I have. Good luck.
