The ongoing debate over popular music ignores the true power of music. Shattering the assumptions of pop's critics and defenders alike, this cultural critic proposes a rediscovery of the musical wisdom of Plato and Aristotle. This audiobook shows that music is both more dangerous and more beneficial than we think – and will change the way we think about it.

A masterful, hard-hitting account of how American Christianity has gone off the rails, and why it threatens to take American society with it. The New York Times columnist defines "bad religion" as the slow-motion collapse of traditional faith and the rise of pseudo-Christianities that stroke our egos, indulge our follies, and encourage our worst impulses.

*So you need another job? The author of Nickel and Dimed extends her sincerest sympathy. Focusing on the white-collar unemployed, she finds few social supports for the new disposable workers, and little security even for those who have jobs. A searing exposé of economic cruelty where we least expect it. "Twomey's warm, steady voice is both compassionate and wryly indignant at all the chicanery afoot."—Washington Post

First published in 1961, this is a startling and enraging picture of what it was like to be black in the South before the landmark Civil Rights legislation in the mid-sixties. A white Texas journalist in disguise saw for himself. Eye-opening and tragic, a very important work. "Childs renders this recounting even more immediate and emotional with his heartfelt delivery and skillful use of accents."—Publishers Weekly
