Few inventions evoke such nostalgia, such deeply personal and vivid memories as radio. Ask anyone born before World War II about radio, and you'll see that person time-travel to the lost world of Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Arturo Toscanini; to the jokes of Jack Benny and Burns and Allen; to the sobering commentary of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Edward R. Murrow. Those born after World War II grew up tuned to Jean Shepherd in the darkness of their bedrooms; cruising with Sam Cooke, the Beatles, or the Doors; talking back to Howard Stern, Rush Limbaugh, and Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Listening In is the first in-depth history of how radio culture and content have kneaded and expanded the American psyche.But Listening In is more than a history. It is also a reconsideration of what listening to radio has done to American culture in the twentieth century and how it has brought a completely new auditory dimension to our lives. Susan Douglas explores how listening has altered our day-to-day experiences and our own generational identities, cultivating different modes of listening in different eras; how radio has shaped our views of race, gender roles, ethic barriers, family dynamics, leadership, and the generation gap.How we listened, where we listened, who we listened to and why: With her trademark wit and erudition, Susan Douglas has created an eminently readable cultural history of radio that fixes its place in our lives as shaper and reflector of our passions and obsessions.

"Written for children 1–5 Donna Douglas loves all kinds of animals, and this inspiring picture book for children reveals how important that love was when she was about to lose the family farm. How did the animals, and one old horse in particular, save the day?This is the first in a series of Mulberry Acres Farm books published by Bridge–Logos Foundation, Inc. It conveys an important motivational message for both children and their parents about never giving up, the power of love, and the importance of prayer, devotion, and faith.Children will love this book, because it is about all kinds of animals and life on the farm. The illustrations and the story combine to give the reader a sense of adventure and the ultimate triumph of perseverance in the face of seeming defeat. What does Old Thunder, the horse, show us? He lets us know that what others say is less important than what we believe deep within and what we do with that belief."
