Story4.5 out of 5 stars 106
There’s no shortage of books about public speaking or language or song. But until now, there has been no book about the miracle that underlies them all - the human voice itself. Beginning with the novel - and compelling - argument that our ability to speak is what made us the planet’s dominant species, John Colapinto guides us from the voice’s beginnings in lungfish millions of years ago to its culmination in the talent of Pavoratti, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Beyoncé - and each of us, every day.

So much information! It's worth reading and reading to catch what you missed while thinking! In my case of listening to the book; a plan to listen-again has already formed. so much information and important content especially regarding the power of the voice on persuasion!

I love this series. I often wish they could be made into a movie series as well. alas, its likely not to be, but it is still quite enjoyable to imagine what actors would play each character.
