This book delivers a major paradigm shift in how you view history. It is engaging, enlightening, thought provoking, and at time quite funny. It is incredibly well written ans read. One of my all time favorite books. If I could rate it higher I would.

They did a great job bringing a classic story to life. I hope they have this crew working on another. I'd like to hear them do Mark Twain's " Roughing it"

The difinintive audio version of a classic. I was laughing out loud in some parts. Mr. Twain himself would enjoy this reading.

One of my all time favorites. Your understanding of the modern world will be greatly deepened. The nomads were pot smokers who drank from the skulls of their enemies, and terrorized settled societies for thousands of years until the 1500's. The first couple of lectures, like most Great Courses, are the necessary setup and can be a bit dry. Then things really get moving. Professor Harl has delivered a really great course.

Moving writing and reading. Audible chapter breaks are misplaced. The book begins at 15 minutes into chapter two.

Thoroughly enjoyable brain food. There are chapters you'll listen to multiple times because this is really enjoyable stuff to think about, and it rewards careful though. As usual Professor Carroll is engaging and a pleasure to spend time with. He makes challenging concepts clear and removes the intimidating mathematics that usually accompany them. You'll walk away with a new model of the world in your mental toolbox. If you choose to go deeper and into the mathematics you will be starting with a solid conceptual framework

I have listened to this multiple times. Particle physics is a tough field to digest and it rewards taking some time to really think about it. This course will give you a solid understanding of it. Professor Pollock is a great teacher. He clearly has a passion for and deep knowledge of the subject. He speaks clearly, moves at a good pace. and has a pleasant voice. To go deeper check out the other Great Courses on the Higgs, Time, and The Theory of Everything.
