Exquisite Performance
Reviewed: 01-26-22
This is probably one of the greatest performances of Oedipus the King on record. Professional actors, spectacular mood music, and riveting performances. Harry Lennix as Oedipus leaves you shaken at the end with his marvelous rendition.
I only wish Audible had the rest of the Theban plays with this cast and caliber of direction.

"It doesn't take an Einstein to understand modern physics," says Professor Wolfson at the outset of these 24 lectures on what may be the most important subjects in the universe: relativity and quantum physics. Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind them are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone. These dynamic and illuminating lectures begin with a brief overview of theories of physical reality starting with Aristotle and culminating in Newtonian or "classical" physics.

Great primer for hard SF fans and physics laymen

Magnificent and Illuminating
Reviewed: 08-13-19
A spectacular reading and explanation of ultracomplex ideas for the non-scientist! This work slowly and clearly unravels the history of physics through the centuries, leads the reader to understand the problems that lead to special relativity, then explains in detail how the theory works—both in principle as well as in observable and measurable phenomena.
Following this, the author takes the reader through the rudiments of more complex concepts like general relativity and quantum physics. The entire lecture series is intelligible without having to understand high-order mathematics. For ANYONE who wants to see the universe in a completely new light, GET THIS BOOK!!!!
