Historia
In the grand storytelling style that is his signature, James Michener sweeps us back through time to the very beginnings of the Jewish faith, thousands of years ago. Through the predecessors of four modern men and women, we experience the entire colorful history of the Jews, including the life of the early Hebrews and their persecutions, the impact of Christianity, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition, all the way to the founding of present-day Israel and the Middle East conflict.

Captivating historical fiction

It was wonderful to read an unbiased account of the history of Judaism and that region that was told in a series of short stories.

Historia
What makes us fall in love with a song? What makes us want to write our own songs? Do songs help? Do songs help us live better lives? And do the lives we live help us write better songs? After two New York Times bestsellers that cemented and expanded his legacy as one of America’s best-loved performers and songwriters, Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back) and How to Write One Song, Jeff Tweedy is back with another disarming, beautiful, and inspirational book about why we listen to music, why we love songs, and how music can connect us to each other and to ourselves.

Historia
Daniel Everett, then a Christian missionary, arrived among the Pirahã in 1977 - with his wife and three young children - intending to convert them. What he found was a language that defies all existing linguistic theories and reflects a way of life that evades contemporary understanding. The Pirahã have no counting system and no fixed terms for color. They have no concept of war or of personal property.

Historia
For almost three decades, the Grateful Dead was America's most popular touring band. No Simple Highway is the first book to ask the simple question of why - and attempt to answer it. Drawing on new research, interviews, and a fresh supply of material from the Grateful Dead archives, author Peter Richardson vividly recounts the Dead's colorful history, adding new insight into everything from the Acid Tests to the band's formation of their own record label to their massive late career success, while probing the riddle of the Dead's vast and durable appeal.

Best of the dead bios
Revisado: 03-09-22
I’ve read 4-5 dead histories over the years and this is the most interesting one. It is full of intriguing insights and colorful anecdotes. The focus is on the cultural history and how the dead’s story fits in the broader picture of western history and arts.

Coffee is an indispensable part of daily life for billions of people around the world - one of the most valuable commodities in the history of global capitalism, the leading source of the world's most popular drug, and perhaps the most widespread word on the planet. Augustine Sedgewick's Coffeeland tells the hidden and surprising story of how this came to be, tracing coffee's 500-year transformation from a mysterious Muslim ritual into an everyday necessity.

Lively book that relates a grand historical narrative spanning a century+ using one export crop, coffee, and one family as a central focus. I loved it!

Great story, odd narration
Revisado: 07-06-21
I’m enjoying this so far, great story though, I hope this doesn’t sound ageist, but the narrator sounds very old (or a heavy smoker or I’ll etc). Clearly she is a great voice actor and deliver the lines well but I can hear the vocal strain with every sentence. Perhaps this is intentional as it is a story of old Hollywood but it’s a bit odd.

The telenovela story was great
Revisado: 03-22-21
That is the only I have listened to but it was well done, an entertaining insightful look at trends in Mexican television and it answered some questions I have been wondering for a while regarding portrayal of race and social class in Mexican media. The media landscape there seems to be slowly improving, good news.

Historia
No longer dismissed as relics of the hippie era, a new generation has lionized the Dead for creating a culture that paved the way for social networking, free music swapping, and the uncompromising anticorporate attitude of indie rock. Now, fifty years after the band first began changing rock 'n' roll both sonically and psychically, So Many Roads paints the most vivid portrait yet of the Grateful Dead, one of the most enduring institutions in American music and culture.

Enjoyable, well written & researched but pretty negative
Revisado: 03-03-21
I loved this book, great story telling and unique anecdotes but it has to be mentioned that the band and especially its followers are often viewed through a very negative lens and not much focus on what made the band special, especially the last decade when they at times were still amazingly good and always true to themselves (for instance the band’s activism and charity was mostly ignored) Likewise the followers have many positive qualities, highly artistic, entrepreneurial people who value community and culture.
