Historia
Mo Rocca has always loved obituaries - reading about the remarkable lives of global leaders, Hollywood heavyweights, and innovators who changed the world. But not every notable life has gotten the send-off it deserves. His quest to right that wrong inspired Mobituaries, his number one hit podcast. Now with Mobituaries, the audiobook, he has gone much further, with all new essays on artists, entertainers, sports stars, political pioneers, founding fathers, and more. Even if you know the names, you’ve never understood why they matter...until now.

Historia
How did the Wendels, one of New York’s most famous Gilded Age families, disappear from history? The Wendels built a fortune from New York real estate, and rubbed shoulders with the Astors, Vanderbilts, and Stuyvesants. But as the 19th century came to an end, the Wendel family tore itself apart. Following six years of painstaking archival research, Claire Prentice has prised open the door of the Wendels’ Fifth Avenue mansion—dubbed “the house of mystery” by the press—to reveal a fascinating and dysfunctional family imprisoned in a gilded cage.

The Roaring Twenties—the Jazz Age—has been characterized as a time of Gatsby frivolity. But it was also the height of the uniquely American hate group, the Ku Klux Klan. Their domain was not the old Confederacy, but the Heartland and the West. They hated Blacks, Jews, Catholics and immigrants in equal measure, and took radical steps to keep these people from the American promise. And the man who set in motion their takeover of great swaths of America was a charismatic charlatan named D.C. Stephenson.

Resumen del Editor
"One of the 50 Best Nonfiction Books of the Last 25 Years" (Slate)
On New Year’s Day 2013, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Gene Weingarten asked three strangers to, literally, pluck a day, month, and year from a hat. That day - chosen completely at random - turned out to be Sunday, December 28, 1986, by any conventional measure a most ordinary day. Weingarten spent the next six years proving that there is no such thing.
That Sunday between Christmas and New Year’s turned out to be filled with comedy, tragedy, implausible irony, cosmic comeuppances, kindness, cruelty, heroism, cowardice, genius, idiocy, prejudice, selflessness, coincidence, and startling moments of human connection, along with evocative foreshadowing of momentous events yet to come. Lives were lost. Lives were saved. Lives were altered in overwhelming ways. Many of these events never made it into the news; they were private dramas in the lives of private people. They were utterly compelling.
One Day asks and answers the question of whether there is even such a thing as "ordinary" when we are talking about how we all lurch and stumble our way through the daily, daunting challenge of being human.

A Best Book of the Year
The Washington Post
Slate
Parade
New York Post
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
"The book adds up to something greater than the individual stories...Weingarten taps into the wonder of what it is to be alive." (Mike Hill for the Associated Press)
"An absorbing snapshot of America." (The New Yorker)
"As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become less interested in elaborate fictions or spectacular histories and just want to know how life is lived. I want a book about how other humans get things and lose things, and deal with both, how they cope and how they fail and how they live and how they die. This is the book I’ve been waiting for. The people described in this book are wonderful and flawed, some of them evil, some of them impossibly good. But none of them have lived the kind of lives that normally get told in books, and in finally seeking them out and telling their stories, Gene has done them, and us, a priceless service." (Peter Sagal, host, NPR's "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" and author of The Incomplete Book of Running)

Historia
After his first grisly crime, Harvey Louis Carignan beat a death sentence and continued to manipulate, rape, and bludgeon women to death - using want ads to lure his young female victims. And time after time, justice was thwarted by a killer whose twisted legal genius was matched only by his sick savagery. Here, complete with the testimony of women who suffered his unspeakable sexual abuses and barely escaped with their lives and of the police who at last put him behind bars, is one of the most shattering and thought-provoking true-crime stories of our time.

Historia
The most common triggers for homicide are fear, rage, revenge, money, lust, and, more rarely, sheer madness. This isn’t an exact science, of course. Any given murder can have multiple triggers. Sex and revenge seem to be common partners in crime. This book offers my memories of homicide cases that I investigated or oversaw. In each case, I examine the trigger that led to death. I chose this theme for the book because even though the why of a murder case may not be critical in an investigation, it can sometimes lead us to the killer.

It was a bleak November in 2012 when Cari Lea Farver vanished from Omaha, Nebraska. Cari, 37, was a devoted mother, reliable employee, and loyal friend - not the type to shirk responsibilities, abandon her son, and run off on an adventure while her dying father took his last breaths. Yet, the many texts from her phone indicated she had done just that. While Cari's boyfriend, Dave Kroupa, and her supervisor were bewildered by her abrupt disappearance, they accepted the texts at face value. Her mother, Nancy Raney, however, was alarmed and reported Cari missing.

A riveting, cautionary tale rooted in history that continues to echo today, The Killer's Shadow is a terrifying and essential exploration of the criminal personality in the vile grip of extremism and what happens when rage-filled speech evolves into deadly action and hatred of the “other" is allowed full reign.

It’s hard to avoid innovation these days. Nearly every product gets marketed as being disruptive, whether it’s genuinely a new invention or just a new toothbrush. But in this manifesto on the state of American work, historians of technology Lee Vinsel and Andrew L. Russell argue that our way of thinking about and pursuing innovation has made us poorer, less safe, and — ironically — less innovative. Drawing on years of original research and reporting, The Innovation Delusion shows how the ideology of change for its own sake has proved a disaster.

The Sinner and the Saint is the deeply researched and immersive tale of how Dostoevsky came to write this great murder story - and why it changed the world. As a young man, Dostoevsky was a celebrated writer, but his involvement with the radical politics of his day condemned him to a long Siberian exile. There, he spent years studying the criminals that were his companions. Upon his return to St. Petersburg in the 1860s, he fought his way through gambling addiction, debilitating debt, epilepsy, the deaths of those closest to him, and literary banishment.

When the United States was founded in 1776, its citizens didn’t think of themselves as “Americans.” They were New Yorkers or Virginians or Pennsylvanians. It was decades later that the seeds of American nationalism—identifying with one’s own nation and supporting its broader interests—began to take root. But what kind of nationalism should Americans embrace? The state-focused and racist nationalism of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson? Or the belief that the US Constitution made all Americans one nation, indivisible, which Daniel Webster and others espoused?

As Chief Justice of the United States - the longest-serving in history—he established the independence of the judiciary and the supremacy of the federal Constitution and courts.

In this powerful, urgent essay, Robert Kagan elucidates the reasons why American withdrawal would be the worst possible response, based as it is on a fundamental and dangerous misreading of the world. Like a jungle that keeps growing back after being cut down, the world has always been full of dangerous actors who, left unchecked, possess the desire and ability to make things worse.

Beautiful
My only complaint; too short. What a beautiful work of art. I laughed, I cried, I held my breath, I restrained myself from Googling endings and when I felt like he was starting to wrap it up, I screamed "wait... no! this is just going to be the end of part 1 or something right????"
Perfect for anyone; great gift idea.

One day you won’t forget
Weingarten is an under-appreciated (and yes, that’s with the two Pulitzers) genius. His writing is beautiful, his guts extraordinary. That would be enough, but there’s more. There’s always more, and Weingarten knows it, and THAT is his true genius. He’s the rare reporter, the rare person, who finds what he’s looking for and keeps looking.

Great!!
Fascinating story! I was hooked from start to finish. I’ve never finished an audiobook this fast! It made me laugh, cry, and gasp. The narrator had a great voice too.

Decent Read, Don't Come Looking for Inspiration
This book contains a great premise. the authors do a thorough job of reporting, and I appreciated their following each story through to the end. However, this is a slog in depressing news, with brief moments of uplifting commentary. I walked away not knowing if I should feel worse about humanity, or in awe that these tiny moments mean so much in the end.

I finished this book...
And I agree with the author that it is a bit of a stunt: as explained in the introduction, it is an attempt to tell the history of 24 hours in American life. It's quite the undertaking. The author doesn't limit himself to a "24"-style chronological plot, instead emphasizing the significance of this single date in a larger context. Many of the stories are not over, and require "as of publication" clauses, even though the narrative begins in 1986.
If you are wondering whether you will enjoy listening to this book, consider whether you have ever enjoyed listening to This American Life, The Daily, or another news/narrative podcast. The author's humorous prose, full of interview questions and personal descriptions, reads aloud like something that would last a long time on the air if the concept "One Day" were taken to producers.
If you are wondering if the book might disappoint you in some way: in two stories, the connection to the date felt a little tenuous. The book is most interesting when the author tells the story, not when he tries to philosophize about the book's premise or possible conclusions from the story. There were a few uninspired forays into "drawing conclusions". Hardly a deterrent to enjoying the book as a whole.

It'll make you say "OK, Boomer."
Weingarten's tin ear for race and identity make this book a rough slog. That's doubly true because so many of the "compelling" stories he chooses pivot around the ways that minority groups were marginalized in the 1980s and continue to be marginalized in similar (or even identical) ways.
He flat-out doesn't understand women, people of color, or queer subjects, and shows time and again that he probably shouldn't be the one to tell the stories of the people for whom this day is special.

I'm giving this book more credit for its concept
Because if I didn't like the idea of this book so much, I would probably not have finished it. It's not that the stories contained within aren't interesting (some of them are banal, but you'd expect that from a book about life in one day), but that the execution is a bit flawed.
That, and the prose is so purple, even Prince would have asked the author to tone it down some. Really. All the manly men in this book walk with a hitch and a little swagger, and it was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.
I guess you can forgive that a little, given the author's roots are from newspaper journalism, where literary aspirations take a back seat to deadlines. But I also would have appreciated an increase in the book's scope. There was a whole world of things to cover from December 28, 1986, and I felt like we barely got out of our American backyard.
I give it an A for the idea, but a C for production.
