When the American Film Institute ranked its top 50 screen legends of the 20th century, many of the people named had careers spanning several decades, but one of them managed the feat despite living less than three decades. Ranked as the 22nd greatest actress of the 20th century, Jean Harlow was on the screen for less than 10 years, but in that time the “Blonde Bombshell” became the most popular ... Read more

Narrated by Michelle Humphries ...

Unabridged

4 hours 54 min

The Mutiny on the Bounty is one of those great stories in history that most people have heard of but few people know much about. In fact, those who think they know what happened are likely to have formed their opinions from what they saw on a movie screen than what they read in a book. Fortunately, the true story itself is every bit as exciting as anything Hollywood could dream up. In the end, ... Read more

The Founding Fathers have held a special place in American society since the nation gained its freedom, and many of them had become national heroes even before then. Over 200 years later, Americans still look with reverence to these men, often debating with each other what the Founding Fathers would think about a certain issue, or how they would judge a certain law or legislation.

Louis Armstrong once claimed that “Every time I close my eyes blowing that trumpet of mine—I look right in the heart of good old New Orleans…It has given me something to live for.” This statement conjures an image which most anyone familiar with jazz music can recall: Armstrong clutching his trumpet forcefully, his eyes closed in a manner that distances him from his physical surroundings in favor ...

Fashion in Ancient Asia: The History of Clothes and Jewelry Worn in China, Japan, and Korea

by Charles River Editors ...

Narrated by Michelle Humphries ...

Unabridged

1 hour 8 min

For most of recorded history, the peoples of East Asia dressed themselves according to a single elegant idea. They did not cut cloth to the shape of the body and stitch it close, the way the tailors of Europe learned to do. They wrapped the body instead, taking long panels of woven silk or hemp, crossing one over the other at the breast, and binding the whole with a sash so that a person stood ... Read more

Fashion in Ancient Mesopotamia: The History of the Clothes and Jewelry Worn by Different Mesopotamian Civilizations

by Charles River Editors ...

Narrated by Michelle Humphries ...

Unabridged

1 hour 17 min

Unfortunately, virtually no ancient Mesopotamian textiles survived because of the climate. Southern Mesopotamia is a floodplain with a high-water table, built of mud brick that dissolves back into mud, and organic materials rot there rather than desiccating as they do in Egypt. Thus, civilizations that manufactured cloth at an industrial scale for over 3,000 years only left mineralized fragments ... Read more

Fashion in Ancient Rome: The History of the Clothes and Jewelry Worn by the Romans

by Charles River Editors ...

Narrated by Michelle Humphries ...

Unabridged

1 hour 29 min

More completely than almost any people before or since, the Romans turned clothing into a legal and political language. Far from being worn simply because they were warm, fine, or fashionable, clothes were a statement about where an individual stood in Rome’s rigid social hierarchy, and that hierarchy very much enforced itself through fashion, sometimes with codified laws. A boy wore one thing and ... Read more

When the Spanish came face to face with indigenous groups in the Americas, they discovered that the natives had solved the oldest human problem, how to clothe the body, in strikingly different ways. The Europeans wore fitted garments of wool and linen, cut and stitched to the shapes of the arms and torso, fastened with buttons and laces. The peoples of the Americas wore something else entirely. ... Read more
