1) Audio Cassette Book Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller by Books on Tape. I purchased TITAN when if first came out, but never got around to reading it. When I spyed the title of audio cassette I was at first reluctant to tackle a book with 13 tapes in just the first part. However, it was an excellent decision.
The narrator, Edward Holland does an outstanding job. He makes the story come alive.
The book reveals a side of Rockefeller that I was totally unaware of. We all know he was a philathropist but did you know that his money cured hook worm disease in the American South and most of Central America? I was totally unaware of his contributions to the University of Chicago and that his giving virtually started research institutes in America.
Of course there is a down side to Rockefeller and his trust and Standard Oil, but the amount of giving that Rockefeller gave in his life and through his contributions to the arts, science, medicine and social issue is so fast it can hardly be measured.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
