“A Short History of the United States” by Robert Remini
In A Short History of the United States, National Book Award
winner Robert V. Remini offers a much-needed, concise history of
our country.
This accessible and lively volume contains the essential facts
about the discovery, settlement, growth, and development of the
American nation and its institutions, including the arrival and
migration of Native Americans, the founding of a republic under
the Constitution, the emergence of the United States as a world
power, the outbreak of terrorism here and abroad, the Obama
presidency, and everything in between.
“Stay Interesting” by Jonathan Goldsmith
Jonathan Goldsmith has many answers to that question. For years he was a
struggling actor in New York and Los Angeles, with experiences that included
competing for roles with Dustin Hoffman, getting shot by John Wayne,
drinking with Tennessee Williams, and sailing the high seas with Fernando
Lamas, never mind romancing many lovely ladies along the way.
A memoir told through a series of adventures and the lessons he’s learned
and wants to pass on, Stay Interesting is a truly daring and bold tale, and a
manifesto about taking chances, not giving up, making courageous choices,
and living a truly adventurous, and always interesting life.
