Book Review: First Ladies: An Intimate Group Portrait of White House Wives by Margaret Truman

First Ladies: An Intimate Group Portrait of White House Wives by Margaret Truman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this audio book, a fascinating and informative look at the role and history of the white house through the efforts and influences of the first ladies. This mostly ignored role in history has much to offer in understanding not just the politics but the people who have run this country.

Book Review: Living Biographies of Great Philosophers by Henry Thomas & Dana Lee Thomas

Living Biographies of Great Philosophers by Henry Thomas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I Listened to this an Audio Book.

Living Biographies of Great Philosophers is a great addition to understanding the lives, thinking and the works of the great philosophers. By presenting the philosophies in a way that is detailed enough to be informational but not so in-depth that it is readable and understandable.

Discussed in the book are Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Epicurus, Marcus Aurelius, Thomas Aquinas, Francis Bacon, Descartes, Spinoza, Locke, Hume, Voltaire, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Emerson, Spencer, Nietzsche, William James, Henri-Louis Bergson, and Santayana.
