Elvis Presley – Audio Book
Elvis Presley: The Man, the Life, the Legend is an audiobook by Pamela Clarke Keogh and narrated by Anna Fields.
“Before Elvis there was nothing.”John Lennon
“It was like he came along and whispered some dream in everybody’s ear, and somehow we all dreamed it.”Bruce Springsteen
“Her bottom line is that Elvis was cool, cooler than any other man of the twentieth century.”Booklist
It was that voice, those eyes, that hair, the cars, the girls. Elvis Presley revolutionized American pop culture when, at age twenty-one, he became a modern superstar. A Memphis Beau Brummel even before he found fame, Elvis had a personal style that, like his music, had an immediate impact on his audience that continues to influence us today.
“Elvis Presley is the greatest cultural force in the twentieth century,” proclaimed Leonard Bernstein. The author writes, “His appearance on Ed Sullivan ripped the
1950s in half.” By any measure, Presley’s life was remarkable. From his modest
beginnings in a two-room house to his meteoric rise to international fame, everything about his life, from his outsized talent to his car collection, clamored
for attention. And he got it.
Keogh compellingly examines Elvis’s life and style to reveal the generous, complex, spiritual man behind the fourteen-karat-gold sunglasses and answers the question,
“Why does Elvis matter?”

Break No Bones Audio Book
Break No Bones is an audiobook by Kathy Reichs.
Temperence Brennan returns… in a smart, taut thriller from the bestselling author of cross bones
The inspiration for the hit Fox series Bones , Kathy Reichs explores another high-stakes crime from today’s headlines-in a case that lands forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan in the middle of a gruesome international scheme.
Summoned to South Carolina to fill in for a negligent colleague, Tempe is stuck teaching at a lackluster archeology field school in the ruins of a Native American burial ground on the Charleston shore. But when Tempe stumbles upon a fresh skeleton among the ancient bones, her old friend Emma Rousseau, the local coroner, persuades Tempe to stay on and help with the investigation. When Emma reveals a disturbing secret, it becomes more important than ever for Tempe to help her friend close the case.
The body count begins to climb. Tempe follows the trail to a free street clinic with a belligerent staff, a suspicious doctor, and a donor who is a charismatic televangelist. Clues abound in the most unlikely places as Tempe uses her unique knowledge and skills to build her case, even as the local sheriff remains dubious and her own life is threatened.
Kathy Reichs is forensic anthropologist to the medical examiners in North Carolina and Quebec and a professor of anthropology at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. The author of numerous bestselling thrillers, she lives in Charlotte, North Carolina and
Montreal, Canada.
Acclaimed Canadian actress Dorothee Berryman has appeared on film in The Barbarian Invasions (Academy Award, Best Foreign Film), The Red Violin, The Decline of the American Empire , and A Paper Wedding . Her television credits include Ciao Bella, Dice, and The Audrey Hepburn Story.
