Worth a listen for the author's perspective on history. It has layer upon layer and each time I listen a new gem sparkles. Hoopla now has the audiobook.David McCullough gave this terrific talk at the Jefferson Lecture in Humanities in 2003 and I listened to the 38 minute audio book spoken by the author. Your answer will determine how you will “walk the walk” the remainder of your days.Funny, I haven’t even thought about how hot this June day is for the last couple of hours. I love that this is an easy listen, but can really get your "wheels" turning. I am going to check out the authors other book. How important was its message? This book made me march around my bedroom recalling days gone by when I used to wear red, white and blue sequins in the Days of 47 parade. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly. So much so that I listened to his reading of it twice back-to-back. McCullough also explains how he came to love history and how we should all read more of it. So much so that I listened to his reading of it twice back-to-back. I can appreciate this being someone who has always been interested in and drawn to history, particularly early American history and World War 2 history.
Second Read 01/28/16: I still just love David McCullough. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of Jesus’ first visit to this earth in human form certainly conveys the urgency of “when in the course of human events it becomes necessary…,” for indeed humanity needed a way to spiritual salvation. The human condition shows this to us plainly, with today’s North Korean missile launches, anti-Semitic rhetoric coming out of Tehran, butchery in Baghdad and the human hopelessness of Darfur.Are the words of Jesus, Mary and Isaiah just lost in the wind, or is there yet one more dynamic convergence of time when “in the course of human events it becomes necessary” for actions that will alter all human history—not merely for 230 years, but forever?Matthew’s Gospel speaks of the time in which God must forcibly stop man’s inhumanity to man, if the human race is to exist for even one more day. This was a great tribute to America and the Founding Fathers. He is a guru preaching from the mountaintop, and it's a blessing to hear his lessons. David McCullough gave this terrific talk at the Jefferson Lecture in Humanities in 2003 and I listened to the 38 minute audio book spoken by the author. When your mind is on big things, all the little things just seem to melt away, leaving us a clear view of what is truly important.I wonder if Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, Livingston and Sherman had the same experience as they toiled away at explaining in detail how “in the course of human events it becomes necessary” to do what they were about to do. Mine is the Kindle copy so not expensive but the lecture is on line for less.This is an audio CD of a speech that David McCullough--a famed writer of historical works like 1776--gave in 2003. I think we all need to read this and then get together and gush over it. The things that we have here and now were created by the sacrifices of the past. The feel of the air and the time of month take me far back to a long-ago summer when others gathered to write in these same last weeks of June.In the sweltering heat of colonial Philadelphia, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Livingston and Roger Sherman were crafting a document that would revolutionize Americans’ social contract with one another.
He begins by talking about John Trumbull's painting of the Declaration of Independence that hangs in the United States Capitol Rotunda and the artist's intentional inaccuracies.
Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Released as an audiobook in 2005 as The Course of Human Events, this speech is a 45 minute love letter to the field of history itself, and a joy to listen to for those who share McCullough's passion.In 2003, historian David McCullough delivered the Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities in Washington, DC.
Welcome back. In May of 2003, David McCullough wrote and presented The Course of Human Events in The 2003 Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities, in Washington, DC, forty years after he began writing his first book. Freedom always demands sacrifice. I really respect his ability to retain what he studies, his research, and every thing that makes a book for him. I love McCulluogh's writing and his topics. The book is a rip-off. Barely more than half an hour of audio, read by the author.A cheat in terms of its length, but I could squirrel way more from its 38 minutes than from some books that ran several hundred pages.I am so bad at this thing called review, so I will just say that McCullough's writing encourages learning about our history, and this lecture is no exception. Hear McCullough’s voice a few times and you can always hear his voice in his writing. It also makes me want to read all the numerous books he mentions.
