In many ways, insects are just like us. Elaborate mating rituals, a variety of parenting styles, and a plethora of careers — from architects and engineers, to farmers and ranchers. Like us, they’re able to share complex information essential for survival, significantly impact their environment, and recycle. But insects outdo us in so many respects. They are terrestrial, but some can live underwater.

An unanticipated pleasure
Revisado: 05-23-22
Of the nearly one hundred Teaching Company Great Courses that I have listened to over the years, this ranks among my five or six favorites. It was a surprise to me that I would enjoy these lectures so much on a topic for which I had little prior affection. But the combination of a fascinating subject with the excellence of the presentation was a joy. Being able to share the speaker’s knowledge with his obvious enthusiasm was a privilege.

Bringing the past to life
Revisado: 12-03-15
Professor Barnhart's lectures on the Andean cultures was the perfect followup of his series on the Mayan and Middle American cultures. I am sorry to see the lectures end. You cannot surpass a gifted teacher sharing first hand knowledge of what he clearly loves, and there is no substitute for that enthusiasm. Thank you for bringing this history to life.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 and the culmination of a life's work, The Denial of Death is Ernest Becker's brilliant and impassioned answer to the "why" of human existence. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie: man's refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. In doing so, he sheds new light on the nature of humanity and issues a call to life and its living that still resonates more than 30 years after its writing.

Most excellent.

What made the experience of listening to The Denial of Death the most enjoyable?
Becker had it right. Freud was right on target except for one small thing, the sex thing. It is DEATH that is the root of all neurosis.
