このコンテンツについて
Many Americans remember a family road trip to visit one of our 63 national parks. Whether it is the geologic majesty of the Grand Canyon, the geysers of Yellowstone, the mountains of the Shenandoah region, or the swamps of the Florida Everglades, the landscapes and ecology of the United States are as rich and diverse as our population and cultural heritage.
Why did Americans start preserving these sites of natural and historic interest? How were these parks selected, and what steps did conservationists, activists, philanthropists, politicians, and others take to protect millions of acres against the booming developments of an expanding nation?
An award-winning writer, researcher, and American Studies scholar, Dr. Megan Kate Nelson tackles these questions as she takes you on a marvelous journey through some of the most beautiful places on Earth. Join her in Stories of America’s National Parks for an ideal introduction to a national treasure—our National Park System.
In 12 inspiring lectures, Dr. Nelson traverses America to give you an insider’s look at a dozen national treasures. You’ll explore the origins, cultural legacy, and environmental import of sites from the Hawaiian islands to the Atlantic seaboard, as you:
· Explore the ancient Pueblo cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde, Colorado,
· Bundle up for a hike through the high peaks of Denali National Park,
· Learn about the timber industry and the protection of the great sequoias in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, and
· Experience paradise on Earth in Maine’s Acadia National Park.
One important theme of this course is that national parks are not a given. Americans have often disagreed about their importance—and which landscapes are worth saving. From the depths of Mammoth Cave in Kentucky to the ancient ruins of Mesa Verde to the dark sky of Death Valley, Dr. Nelson shows that the conflicts over the past 150 years are an important part of the National Park System’s phenomenal achievements and complex history.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Education can be enriching and transformative. It can also be downright excruciating—even demoralizing. When it comes to learning, why are some of us lovers and some of us haters? Welcome to the world of educational psychology, which uses science to explore what causes people to engage and learn, and what we can do to make learning opportunities more enjoyable and impactful. Spoiler alert: Teachers can only do so much. Students, too, must take control of their learning. Unfortunately, many of us never, ahem, learned the skills to do just that.

It is often thought that the story of Tutankhamun ended when the thousands of items discovered by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon were transported to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and put on display. But there is far more to the story. Tutankhamun and the Tomb that Changed the World explores the 100 years of research on Tutankhamun that have taken place since the tomb's discovery, from the several objects in the tomb made of meteoritic iron that came from outer space to new evidence that shows that Tutankhamun may actually have been a warrior who went into battle.

Religion is foundational to what it means to be human. Our quest for meaning is as ancient as our very existence, stretching back to a time when Neanderthal burials and Paleolithic figurines suggest our ancestors recognized a power that transcended visible reality. From ancient civilizations to the 21st century, belief in a higher power seems to be a universal human instinct. These 12 thought-provoking lectures introduce you to the world of comparative religion, giving you insights into a variety of religious expressions and human cultures.
