A celebration of American history through the music that helped to shape a nation, by Pulitzer Prize winner Jon Meacham and country music legend Tim McGraw Through all the years of strife and triumph, America has been shaped not just by our elected leaders and our formal politics but also by our music--by the lyrics, performers, and instrumentals that have helped to carry us through the dark days and to celebrate the bright ones. From "The Star-Spangled Banner" to "Born in the U.S.A.," Jon Meacham and Tim McGraw take readers on a moving and insightful journey through eras in American history and the songs and performers that inspired us. Meacham chronicles our history, exploring the stories behind the songs, and Tim McGraw reflects on them as an artist and performer. Their perspectives combine to create a unique view of the role music has played in uniting and shaping a nation. Beginning with the battle hymns of the revolution, and taking us through songs from the defining events of the Civil War, the fight for women's suffrage, the two world wars, the Great Depression, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and into the twenty-first century, Meacham and McGraw explore the songs that defined generations, and the cultural and political climates that produced them. Readers will discover the power of music in the lives of figures such as Harriet Tubman, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King, Jr., and will learn more about some of our most beloved musicians and performers, including Marian Anderson, Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, Duke Ellington, Carole King, Bruce Springsteen, and more. Songs of America explores both famous songs and lesser-known ones, expanding our understanding of the scope of American music and lending deeper meaning to the historical context of such songs as "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," "God Bless America," "Over There," "We Shall Overcome," and "Blowin' in the Wind." As Quincy Jones says, Meacham and McGraw have "convened a concert in Songs of America," one that reminds us of who we are, where we've been, and what we, at our best, can be.Binding Type: Hardcover

Not all it’s cracked up to be.
Color: Aqua
Doesn’t really bounce all that much. Doesn’t really stay on either. My dobe could care less about it.

Super entertaining toy if your dog likes balls and hunting
Color: Aqua
Love this! We got a similar ball for our dog about 6 months ago and she has been obsessed! We have 2 dogs, one hasa zero interest whatsoever in this toy (as expected) and the other will bark at it while its sitting on the charger so she can get it. Dogs, amirite? lol anyway, the issue we had with the previous one was that it was so loud on our wood floors because it was a solid plastic. The Cheerble ball has made a huge difference in sound for us!
The ball itself is very quiet. When it rolls or bounces on something other than the floor you can barely hear it. With the previous ball we had, we couldn't be on the phone or watching a movie, etc if our dog was playing with the ball because it was so dang loud but this solves our problems! Its made of a hard silicone like material (thing a Nerf ball or something) so it remains quiet. The battery lasts as listed and its easy to charge. It took some time to figure out which setting our dog liked the best but after that it was smooth sailing.
My only only negative to this is that the power on/off switch is inside so you have to twist it open to turn it off and on. The ball will naturally get some saliva on it so its kinda gross to put your hands all over it once its been played with and I'd prefer a button on the outside but understand why that isn't possible with this design.
This ball is perfect if your dog is ball obsessed like ours. Shes a pitt/black lab/aussie mix so ball and hunting/chasing lizards are her favorite past times. If your dog prefers ripping toys apart to kill the squeaker (our other dog) or chewing bones, they may not take to this. Ball is life at our house and this ball is at the top of our pups list, there isn't a day that passes that she doesn't start her daily routine of seeking this out and begging us to turn it on. Highly recommend for the right pup!

Great toy
Color: Blue
Great toy, too bad my Shih Tzu is afraid of it. I love the way the movement is subtle and random.

I wouldn’t recommend this for strong chewers.
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Is it fun? Sure. Was it easy to charge and set up? Yep. That being said, this toy kind of fell flat for me. It really didn’t do any big movements once charged that I expected it to, so that was a bummer. I initially got it for my dog, but my cats were more interested in this than my dog was. The battery does seem to last a long time and the motor is pretty quiet. I WOULD NOT recommend this toy for strong chewers as the material for this is a foam rubber and I don’t think it’s durable enough for strong chewers. While the material makes this ball extremely lightweight for more movement, a strong chewer would have this disintegrated in five minutes flat. My Dog is a super strong chewer. I don’t think I would feel comfortable leaving him unattended with this because I know he would destroy it.
