Plastic, the silicon chip, and rock-and-roll were invented. Airplanes, rockets, satellites, televisions, computers, and atom bombs were built. Traditional ideas about logic, language, learning, mathematics, economics, and even space and time were overthrown and radically refashioned. People of the Century presents the most influential leaders, artists, intellects, and heroes who shaped this monumental era. <br></br> This century's most influential people were selected by the editors of Time magazine and featured in a series of documentaries produced by CBS News. Here, their profiles are crafted by this era's finest writers, from Salman Rushdie and Elie Wiesel, to Gloria Steinem, George Plimpton, Robert Hughes, and more. Memorably narrated by some of the century's most accomplished actors, People of the Century is the ultimate millennial keepsake. . Audio Book. Audio CDs. Fine/Original Plastic Case.

New York: Audioworks, 1999. 1999 Unabridged audio book 10 cassettes play very well Original box worn, some tears, creases rubs chips Complete book on 10 cassettes Read by author Book description: 'Tis, the story of Frank's American journey from impoverished immigrant to brilliant teacher and raconteur. Frank lands in New York at nineteen, in the company of a priest he meets on the boat. He gets a job at the Biltmore Hotel, where he immediately encounters the vivid hierarchies of this "classless country," and then is drafted into the army and is sent to Germany to train dogs and type reports. It is Frank's incomparable voice -- his uncanny humor and his astonishing ear for dialogue -- that renders these experiences spellbinding. When Frank returns to America in 1953, he works on the docks, always resisting what everyone tells him, that men and women who have dreamed and toiled for years to get to America should "stick to their own kind" once they arrive. Somehow, Frank knows that he should be getting an education, and though he left school at fourteen, he talks his way into New York University. There, he falls in love with the quintessential Yankee, long-legged and blond, and tries to live his dream. But it is not until he starts to teach -- and to write -- that Frank finds his place in the world. The same vulnerable but invincible spirit that captured the hearts of listeners in Angela's Ashes comes of age. Frank McCourt's 'Tis is one of the most eagerly-awaited audiobooks of our time, and it is a masterpiece. . Unabridged Audiobook. AudioCassettes. Very Good/Fair. Audio Book.

In 10 LB. Penalty the focus is George Julian, a rising political star, whose son, Benedict, passionately wants to pursue his career as an amateur jockey. Martin Jarvis has won acclaim for his recordings of Dick Francis's novels for British listeners, but this is the first American release. He treats the trainers, race officials and horse owners as old friends, and the addition of a political twist gives Jarvis more characters on which to work his magic. Jarvis delivers such a diversity of accents and voices that each character is imaginatively and distinctively identified. The dynamics between father and son, and among political rivals, are astutely balanced. . Abridged Audiobook. Good/Good. Ex-Library.

Accordion Crimes, a masterpiece of storytelling that spans a century and a continent. Accordion Crimes opens in 1890 in Sicily as an accordion maker completes his finest instrument and dreams of owning a music store in America. He and his eleven-year-old son, carrying little more than the accordion, voyage to the teeming, violent port of New Orleans. Within a year, the accordion maker is murdered by an anti-Italian lynching mob, but his instrument carries Proulx's story as it falls into the hands of various immigrants who carry it from Iowa to Texas, from Maine to Louisiana, looking for a decent life. The music is their last link with the past -- voice for their fantasies, sorrows and exuberance -- but it, too, is forced to change. - Proulx's prodigious knowledge, heartbreaking characters and daring storytelling unite the sections of Accordion Crimes -- a stunning novel, exhilarating in its scope and originality. .

Crack cocaine has made its devastating appearance. Violence is escalating. An innocent 12-year-old girl is brutally kidnapped; the kidnapper has made a deadly mistake. He has brought Boomer Frontieri, a retired New York City detective, back to the streets, and back into action. When an old friend turns to him for help, Boomer has the excuse he needs to return to the life he loved. He bands together with others like him: Dead-Eye. Pins. Geronimo. Reverend Jim. Mrs. Columbo. They were great cops. The best cops. Now they are apaches-- a renegade unit working on their own. Some might call them criminals. Some might call them heroes. But theirs is a world where good is always shadowed by bad, where right is almost indecipherable from wrong, and where the living can, within mere moments, cross over to the world of the dead. With this novel, the author of the stunning #1 bestseller Sleepers returns to the mean streets he knows so well. . Audio Book. Very Good/Very Good.

Simon & Schuster Audio, 1993. ex-library w/ usual stamps stickers 2 tapes play very well Plastic clamshell case w/some of original art inserted Read by the author About 3 hours<br></br>From AudioFile: Beating the Street examines famed money manager Peter Lynch's common sense approach to the stock market and individual securities analysis. His investment principles, which he refers to as "Peter's Principles," are introduced in this audio edition with a brief, self-mocking fanfare. By acknowledging its audio audience and addressing itself directly to it, this tape is more of an adaptation of the original text than a faithful reading (though the book itself is an adaptation of earlier public remarks made by Lynch). While his passion sometimes impedes his articulation, Lynch's narration is always personable and engaging. For both layman and expert, he provides clear insights into the seemingly complex task of making money in the stock market. R.W.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine . Abridged Audiobook. Good/Good.

It's a relief, therefore, when James Naughton takes the microphone and the tangle of current events becomes a clear and absorbing narrative. Naughton's deep voice has just the right gritty edge. You can almost hear tank treads on stone. There are boxes of cash and another box with dry ice for Bin Laden's head. "I'm not a textbook player," Bush says. "I'm a gut player." Nobody knows yet how the war on terror will end, but Woodward shows you how it started. B.H.C. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine . Abridged Audiobook.

Feeling less the golden boy than a jaded cynic, Stapleton retrains in forensic pathology and relocates to find an uneasy niche for himself in a city that suits his changed perspective: the cold, indifferent, concrete maze of New York. Stapleton thinks he is past pain and past caring, but as a series of virulent and extremely lethal illnesses - capped by a particularly deadly outbreak of a rare strain of influenzastrikes the young, the old, and the innocent, his suspicions are aroused. When the apparent epicenters of these outbreaks are revealed to be hospitals and clinics controlled by the same for-profit giant that cannibalized his old ophthalmology practice, Stapleton fears he has stumbled upon a diabolic conspiracy of catastrophic proportions: Could the for-profit giant be engaged in the systematic elimination of its more costly subscribers? Getting at the truth leads to Stapleton's unlikely pairing - both professionally and personally - with Terese Hagen, an art director at a hot Madison Avenue advertising firm. Together they discover that the real explanation behind the killer contagious is even more Machiavellian than could be imagined. . Abridged Audiobook. Very Good/Good.

His singular performance convinces the listener that these stories are meant to be heard aloud. Through volume, inflection and emphasis, Scourby makes the plots easy to follow as interior monologue and dialogue alternate. Both his men and women sound honest and convincing. Though the stories deal with emotionally intense situations, they both develop calmly through Scourby's subtleties of expression and deep sympathy for the characters. This performance is a must for connoisseurs of recorded literature. P.W. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine . Audio Book. Good/Good. Ex-Library.
