Reflect and remember

Calmly voiced narrative introduces each episode of natural sounds. This episode is soothing and engaging.

Fantastic

Beautiful. I probably consciously missed 3/4 of it. It kept putting me to sleep. The sound’s of nature were the best I ever heard. My mind immersed itself again and again in the multitudes of beauty. Must experience it for yourself. I have Parkinson’s and the medical field continues to tell me to meditate, and I am never able to but when I awoke so peaceful and calm falling asleep listening to this book I can’t wait to hear it again soon.

Mr. Smaller does a great narration.

I have trouble falling asleep and can’t wait to listen to this again tonight. The bird and insect sounds remind me of my childhood . Love it!!

Very Pleasant

I listen to this at the end of the day. The sounds of nature and occasional, soft music is relaxing. The narrator has an easy voice to listen to.

Natural Perfection in Audio Narrative Form

Beautiful field recordings, a soothing narration, fascinating scientific insights, a contemplative musical score, and an altruistic intention encouraging us to care for the earth, ourselves, and our common wealth. Perfect! If only there were more such projects…

Wonderful!

The narration is lovely, the narrator has a beautiful voice and the sounds of nature is very soothing. But I also found the subject matter very interesting! Overall 5 stars!!

I want to buy this series so badly!

I'm really not interested in anything else on audible at this time but this series. I love it so much! I wish it was for sale. I'd willingly pay a higher price. I can't justify a membership for this alone which is why I would willingly pay a higher price for the download. hopefully I can find something like this that doesn’t require a subscription. or maybe just maybe audible will be nice and release it for sale someday.
