Title: All the Leaves Are Brown: How the Mamas & the Papas Came Together and Broke Apart

Author: Scott G. Shea

Narrator: Michael Butler Murray

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16:09:22

Language: English

Release date: 07-11-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Arts & Entertainment

Summary:

Few songs have captured the contradictions and ambiguities of the 1960s as memorably as 'California Dreamin',' the iconic folk music single that catapulted the Mamas & the Papas into rock and roll history. In All the Leaves Are Brown, author Scott Shea details how John Phillips, Denny Doherty, Michelle Phillips, and 'Mama Cass' Elliot became standard-bearers for California counterculture, following their transformation from folk music wannabes to rock sensations and chronicling the tumultuous events that followed their unexpected success.

Shea gives a definitive account of the group's short time together, from their hitmaking approach with legendary producer Lou Adler to John's unique songwriting to tours and friendships with other musicians riding the folk-rock wave. He explores the emotional vicissitudes that came with being in the Mamas & the Papas, from Cass's unrequited love for Denny, his affair with Michelle, and the ebb and flow of dysfunction in John and Michelle's marriage. And he explains how it all came to a crashing end with John's brainchild, the Monterey Pop Festival, which should have launched the group even further into the musical stratosphere, but only served to be their undoing. All the Leaves Are Brown is a layered, revelatory tale of overnight stardom and its many pitfalls.

Twenty-three intelligent species. One ancient mystery. And two humans thrust into the middle.

Daniel Rice hasn't felt right since his return from a dystopian future. Curious dreams repeat with detailed precision. A voice-or something-seems to be calling him. His problem isn't medical, it's not even scientific, and it's driving his wife crazy.

Nala is worried, and she's not the type to pace the halls while her overly analytic husband procrastinates. Earth's scientific power couple is soon halfway around the world to consult with alien android, Aastazin. Zin is no doctor, but he has friends in high places.

Next stop, a thousand light years from home where an alien megacity shaped in a six-petaled flower hosts species from dozens of worlds. But there is more going on at this gathering place than meets the eye-aggressive security bots, an ancient mystery, and a pending vote that could shun humanity from the greatest collection of civilizations the galaxy has ever known.

Summary:

When Emma Daniels's well-to-do family finds itself destitute, she answers an ad for the Gilbert Company seeking young women to be waitresses at hotel restaurants along remote railroad lines out west. The rules for a Gilbert Girl are strict: work hard, act respectably at all times, and no courting allowed. None of them present a problem for Emma, at least until she meets the hotel's builder, Monroe Hartley. His smile and teasing manner were the last things Emma expected to find on the Colorado frontier. But as intriguing as he is, Emma would be risking her job-and her family's lives-if she allowed his attentions.

Building this hotel for the Gilbert Company is the perfect opportunity for Monroe. Not only will it advance his career, it barely gives him a moment to drown in guilt over his wife's death. When Emma arrives, he finds himself drawn to her. But he can't promise her anything, not unless he wants her to end up with the same fate his wife suffered.

Giving in to their feelings would mean losing everything, yet they find themselves growing closer as the summer stretches on. When a man who covets Monroe's job discovers their secret and threatens to reveal it, they must each decide whether their love is worth uprooting everything they've worked so hard for.

Title: From Barbycu to Barbecue: The Untold History of an American Tradition

Author: Joseph R. Haynes

Narrator: Jonathan Yen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:05:49

Language: English

Release date: 07-11-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Cooking, Non-Fiction, North America

Summary:

An award-winning barbecue cook boldly asserts that barbecuing is a unique American tradition that was not imported.

The origin story of barbecue is a popular topic with a ravenous audience, but commonly held understandings of barbecue are often plagued by half-truths and misconceptions. From Barbycu to Barbecue offers a fresh new look at the story of southern barbecuing. Award winning barbecue cook Joseph R. Haynes sets out to correct one of the most common barbecue myths, the 'Caribbean Origins Theory,' which holds that the original southern barbecuing technique was imported from the Caribbean to what is today the American South. Rather, Haynes argues, the southern whole carcass barbecuing technique that came to define the American tradition developed via direct and indirect collaboration between Native Americans, Europeans, and free and enslaved people of African descent during the seventeenth century. Haynes's barbycu-to-barbecue history analyzes historical sources throughout the Americas that show that the southern barbecuing technique is as unique to the United States as jerked hog is to Jamaica, and barbacoa is to Mexico. A recipe in each chapter provides a contemporary interpretation of a historical technique.

Title: General Grant and the Verdict of History: Memoir, Memory, and the Civil War

Author: Dr. Frank P. Varney

Narrator: Al Kessel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:21:13

Language: English

Release date: 07-11-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Biography & Memoir, North America, Military

Summary:

General Ulysses S. Grant is best remembered today as a war-winning general, and he certainly deserves credit for his efforts on behalf of the Union. But has he received too much credit? Have others who fought the war with him suffered unfairly? General Grant and the Verdict of History explores these issues.

Professor Frank P. Varney examines Grant's relationship with three noted Civil War generals: the brash and uncompromising 'Fighting Joe' Hooker; George H. Thomas, the commander who earned the sobriquet 'Rock of Chickamauga'; and Gouverneur Kemble Warren, who served honorably in every major action of the Army of the Potomac before being relieved less than two weeks before Appomattox.

Dr. Varney had studied the tempestuous relationship between Grant and Union General William S. Rosecrans. During the war, Rosecrans was considered to be on par with Grant himself; today, he is largely forgotten. Rosecrans's star dimmed, argues Varney, because Grant orchestrated the effort. Grant used official reports, interviews with the press, and his memoirs to influence how future generations would remember the war and his part in it. Aided greatly by his two terms as president, his memoirs, and the dramatic backdrop against which those memoirs were written, our historical memory has been influenced to a degree greater than many realize.
