Best Narrator I've ever heard
Revisado: 01-23-25
Great enthusiastic narrator. Content is top quality as usual from the great courses, but I came here to write a review in celebration of the narration specifically. Thank you great courses.

Great coverage and very interesting

Great coverage and very interesting - albeit the distracting pauses of the author drinking or making various mouth noises. *shudder*

Centuries ago, Spanish conquistadors searching for gold and new lands encountered a group of independent city-states in Mesoamerica. Sophisticated beyond the Spaniards' wildest imaginings, these people were the Aztecs, the Maya, and related cultures that shared common traditions of religion, government, the arts, engineering, and trade. In many ways more advanced than European nations, these societies equaled the world's greatest civilizations of their time.

Great Presentation and a Wonderful Narrator

Ed shares his Great field in this Great course
Revisado: 12-20-21
Ed shares his field with a clarity and enthusiasm one would expect from a master in their field. Dealing with ancient cultures and our ancestors, he also deals with it in a curiously respectful manner, something I'm sure allows us to gain a humbler and more genuine insight into the lives of those whose shoulders we stand on.
Thanks Ed - I'm currently awaiting for my next credit to grab his other great courses.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 101
Where did I come from? Why do I have two arms but just one head? How is my left leg the same size as my right one? Why are the fingerprints of identical twins not identical? How did my brain learn to learn? Why must I die? Questions like these remain biology's deepest and most ancient challenges. They force us to confront a fundamental biological problem: How can something as large and complex as a human body organize itself from the simplicity of a fertilized egg?

Brilliant
Revisado: 12-09-16
A clear culmination of the knowledge and principles behind our understanding of embryology and biology in general. Easily understood by anyone with an amatuer grounding in biology, but go slow on the heavy parts, if you miss something you'll miss the foundations for later concepts. Well worth the time to take it in.

We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

Inspiring
Revisado: 05-04-16
Concepts from many researchers work laid out and built up with a wealth of experimental findings with wonderful clarity. Enthralling side notes and stories into the part of seeds in history and ever pertinent philosophical paradigms. A core maintained throughout of the story of his own research into the Almendro tree woven perfectly within the wider subject and a sincere admiration of nature's core principles. Brilliant. Thank you Thor, thank you Nature.

Can a whale attack a ship? The shipwrecked crew of the whaleship Essex was living proof that it could when a whale displayed a fury never before witnessed, ramming and sinking their vessel in a matter of minutes in November 1820. The story of their survival is one rarely spoken of by Nantucketers even to this day, but National Book Award-winning author Nathaniel Philbrick courageously brings every shocking detail into the light.

No need for an Albino Whale
Revisado: 04-29-13
What does Taylor Mali bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Pronounces the 'H' in Whale... a minor annoyance
Any additional comments?
Great true story. If you want a maritime adventure of survival and a historical account of the yester-year whaling days, together with the power a true story envokes, this is for you.
