From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of John Adams.

On May 15th, 2003 David McCullough presented The Course of Human Events as The 2003 Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities in Washington, DC. The Jefferson Lecture is a tribute to McCullough's lifetime investigation of history.

In this short speech, this master historian tracks his fascination with all things historical to his early days in Pittsburgh where he "learned to love history by way of books" in bookshops and at the local library.

McCullough eloquently leads us through the founding fathers' attraction to history, letting us in on his composition of 1776 as well as the Pulitzer Prize winning John Adams. His obvious affection for history is inspiring, because it encompasses the whole reach of the human drama. In McCullough's able hands, history truly "is a larger way of looking at life."

Audio books, unlike ordinary books, are a lot more useful and time efficient in the long run. To sit down and read a book can be a very enjoyable experience but unfortunately only when time permits. A lot of us therefore find us putting aside the books for more pressing matters, with audio books however you can do both. Audio books give you the freedom to listen anywhere, just by simply putting it on a MP3 player. For most book fanatics space is a real issue and usually their houses end up looking like a library. Since audiobooks are portable and in music file format such as Mp3 or WMA the space that’s really being used up is your hard drive which takes up a minuscule amount in comparison. So for the busy individual where free time is somewhat of a luxury, audio books may just be the solution you have been looking for, a way to combine free time and work effortlessly.
