The Jefferson Lecture is a tribute to McCullough's lifetime investigation of history. <P>In this short speech, this master historian tracks his fascination with all things historical to his early days in Pittsburgh where he "learned to love history by way of books" in bookshops and at the local library. <P>McCullough eloquently leads us through the founding fathers' attraction to history, letting us in on his composition of 1776 as well as the Pulitzer Prize winning John Adams. His obvious affection for history is inspiring, because it encompasses the whole reach of the human drama. In McCullough's able hands, history truly "is a larger way of looking at life."<P> 54349 24 5 2004 The Course of Human Events total:57|5:29|4:18|3:9|2:1|1:0| 57 246 145 13 55766 0743550382 9780743550383 57 13 4.32 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170451843m/55766.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55766.The_Course_of_Human_Events 5 3 false Fri Jul 18 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 13 21:38:12 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 18 00:36:26 -0700 2008 more...]]> 55766 0743550382 9780743550383 57 13 4.32 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170451843m/55766.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55766.The_Course_of_Human_Events 5 4 false Wed Feb 20 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 22:49:56 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 23:12:56 -0800 2008
