The one and only transcript available

The trial of Ruby McCollum had two transcripts. Both of these transcripts were buried in portions in various archives until Dr. Ellis retrieved them and made his best effort at constructing a close approximation of what actually transpired during the trial. The book has extensive annotations of each day of the trial with information reported from a writer who knew all of the characters involved in the story. It also has items not contained in any original version of the transcript to assist the reader in understanding the context of the trial. Readers are forewarned that this is a copyrighted work and not in the public domain.

I just started listening but I cannot put it down. This is exactly what I am looking for to leave the rat race. I was so impressed I wanted a kindle version but found out there was none and a print version is only available in UK.  Can you please make a kindle version and let it be available in the US? Thanks.

I purchased my set of this (NLT One-Year Chronological) at the end of 2013 and have listened to it on my car stereo [all year] whenever I'm in my car. It is 70-hours long so it takes a while to get thru it (I'm retired so I don't drive as much as I used to). It is Oct 3rd and I have about 2 days to go to finish it. The greatest thing I like about it is 2 things, one is the very understandable translation of the NLT, and the other is the amazingly kind and expression-filled voice of the narrator Todd Busteed, both of which make the Bible very interesting and easy to follow; he doesn't sound at all overbearing like All other audio-Bible versions (DVD) I have heard. The car is a good place, in one way, to listen, as it seems a good use of one's time when nothing else to do, however I've found that when getting in traffic-situations I've often missed the import of what was being said; so I hope to now use it on my computer or DVD-player to listen very carefully to certain parts of the Bible I want to learn more from. (I got my set from a retail store from which I'd rcvd a coupon, so my Review does not show I purchased it from Amazon, tho I do order very often from Amazon)

The combination of audio CD and written commentary make this a `must have' for the serious student of oratory and contemporary American politics. Writers Dallek and Golway present over 30 speeches (some edited) from one of the finest political orators of the 20th century.

The vast majority of the speeches are probably well known to Kennedy aficionados, but probably only in written form. It is a delight to hear such a diverse range of speeches ranging from early in his campaign - January 1960 thru November 21 1963, the day before his assassination.

The authors give a profile / overview of each speech. By its nature, these have to be brief and do not provide a lot of detail. For those interested in learning more about Kennedy's speech development, read Theodore Sorensen's Counselor, Thurston Clarke's Ask Not and Richard Tofel's Sounding the Trumpet.

Occasions make great speeches. Kennedy was a fine orator who came to power at a time of great tension, achievement and change. The words he spoke when put in this context have become memorable.  Thus Kennedy's address to protestant ministers of the Greater Houston Ministerial Association, his inaugural, the Berlin crisis address and the Cuban missile crisis address are memorable not just because of well crafted words, well delivered, but because they were important narrative about crucial events.

The presidential debates with Richard Nixon feature prominently in the book. Many historians suggest that those listening on radio thought Nixon won the debate. I have never seen statistics to support that point, but Nixon does come across as well as Kennedy on audio although much of the Vice-President's commentary was pretty ironic given what we now know of the only man to resign the presidency.

Kennedy's final speech on November 21st is worthwhile because of its poignant closeness to his assassination one day later.
Overall, this is one of those books / CDs that you will constantly refer back to. Well worth adding to your library.

I enjoyed this book as much as about everyone else did. When I searched for it, I saw the hardcover, paperback, and bargain audio CD version. No Audible version was listed at the time. I've been listening to audiobooks lately, so I ordered the reasonably priced audiobook. I just did not see any reference to its being abridged. I guess with thought I should have known since six CDs hold less than seven hours of content, and that it is not very long for telling the "Epic History of the Founding of the U.S. Navy. But Amazon should really be more careful.

Now I'll have to decide whether to buy the unabridged book. Maybe I'll wait six months. With the current state of my memory I'll have forgotten 75% of the audiobook by then.

No audio ???? -- It would be useful to many more people if there were audio ( or even phonetic transcription) , but there apparently isn't any ...  -:(

Luther's 95 Theses is without question a very important historical document.  However, I don't think most of us would buy, say the Gettysburg Address, as a stand-alone book.  First, you can never find it on the shelf.  Second, you can get it as part of many almanacs, encyclopedias, etc.

I own the cassette which was one of my most inspirational gospel recordings during my college years. I almost want to buy a high quality device or service to make it digital. If anyone knows the copy-right holder, PLEASE encourage a re-release!!!

I own the individual volumes as well as this single volume in hardcopy. As an electronic copy,  I feel this is the best way to go and was pleased to purchase it when it became available.

My thanks to whoever transcribed Joel S. goldsmith's series of lectures in 1948 from wire-recordings! This is a week's worth of class on exactly how to: "keep the word of God alive in your consciousness, you will never know lack or limitation." Goldsmith embodied the spiritual truth and learned to teach it, clearly and simply. With this book-- these transcribed classes on spiritual healing and transcendence-- you have the same opportunity his students had in 1948. We have the opportunity to break free from the chains of human thought and experience the connection to our spiritual reality and it's love and peace. It's often been said, "this is the only book you ever need read." This time it's true!

The *content* is invaluable and fascinating; the fact that someone has copied the transcripts from the website of the JSC Oral History Project and packaged them into a Kindle book and is *profiting* off them, is despicable and may even be illegal. Each of the oral history sessions is available as a downloadable PDF file, free to the public.

I think the previous reviewer didn't understand that this was a transcript from a 30 minute podcast that the author does weekly.  I'm sure she has much more knowledge on the subject which is why she hosts these weekly podcasts that covers various subjects.  I'm just grateful that the transcripts are available for purchase as sometimes I'd rather read something than listen to it.

Easy to use.  Take this with me to all of my classes and listen to it throughout the day in order to review.

No language course has ever, can, or ever will be comprehensive enough to cover EVERY aspect of learning a "tongue" that is not one's primary form of communication.  Even the most encompassing language acquisition programs need supplemental materials.  McGonagle's "Irish Grammar:  A Basic Handbook"  is one such essential supplement that is easily used in tandem with any and every Irish Gaelic Program available today.  McGonagle cuts to the chase, guts out all the superfluous grammar  gooble-de-goop, and serves up a grounding in grammar necessary to grasping the Irish Gaelic Language.  The fundamentals are dished up in "bite size" portions,  and is an easy to use reference guide for beginner and "brush-up" students alike.  The only negative observation that needs to be mentioned about the "Handbook" is that it does not come with an Audio CD so a novice can hear the examples of various points and vocabulary, perferably spoken by "Native Speakers."  Maybe future editions could include an audio CD or two.

As a student of the Arabic immersion program at Middlebury College in VT, I have to say that of all the texts I've come across this is the most accessible and thorough in terms of gaining a useable knowledge of the language. While I wouldn't recommend it for independent study, I wouldn't recommend independent study of the Arabic language at all with anything more than the smallest aspirations. Arabic is not a language that can be learned in isolation. No where, are you going to find a book that, having read it, you will be able to say, "I speak Arabic." However, in a classroom environment Al Kitaab simply cannot be beat. Also, as a plug for the Middlebury program, I give the strongest recommendation possible to the the 9 week immersion program at Middlebury College in VT. The professors are AMAZING, the student body is motivated, and the unique language pledge makes the school and unquestionably sound investment for students of Arabic at any level.

Great audio version of the whole masterpiece!

I have been looking for this for a long time - and now that I have it, I don't think my car CD player will ever have anything else in it!

I asked the Universe for this and its here!
