Your senses aren't just a part of you-they define you. Nothing you experience would be possible without the intricate power of your senses. But how much about them do you really know? Your ability to sense and perceive the world around you is so richly detailed and accurate as to be miraculous.

An Excellent Course!

Highly recommended as an introduction and overview to the fascinating and rapidly evolving subject of human sensory perception. Well organized, well presented! This is worth listening to repeatedly.

Did not gel with the narrator
Revisado: 03-14-21
Although I managed to finish the audiobook (because I typically enjoy Judith Tarr’s stories), the narrator’s odd choice of accent made it somewhat of an effort of stubborn perseverance rather than true enjoyment on my part. I rapidly came to regret that the English language contains so many words that end in “d”. Or “s”. Or “-age”. Like any tiny but frequent irritation, the accent quickly assumed exaggerated significance, especially with the narrator’s mispronunciation of “Richildis” and other words. I checked samples of some other audiobooks she has narrated, and discovered that her normal speaking style does not include the “d” and “s” and “-age” pronunciations I found so annoying. I remain baffled by her choice of this accent. I will use caution in the future and listen to the sample recordings prior to purchasing an audiobook.

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child—not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power—the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.

Well worth the Audible time
Revisado: 05-27-20
It took me a bit to become captivated by this story, but persistence was definitely worth it. Ms Miller takes a dry lump of mythology and crafts it into a complex, poetical, glowing tale. Ms Weeks’ performance brings the tale to vivid life with her exquisite diction and range of characterizations. I will be looking for more books by Madeline Miller and more audio performances by Perdita Weeks.

Most children go through a dinosaur phase. Learning all the tongue-twisting names, picking favourites based on ferocity, armour, or sheer size. For many kids this love of ‘terrible lizards’ fizzles out at some point between starting and leaving primary school. All those fancy names slowly forgotten, no longer any need for a favourite. For all those child dino fanatics who didn’t grow up to become paleontologists, dinosaurs seem like something out of mythology. They are dragons, pictures in books, abstract, other, extinct.

Thoroughly enjoyable!
Revisado: 08-24-19
Professor Garrod provides a concise summary of the rise and fall of a fascinating group of animals. Remembering the early days of the Alvarez’ hypotheses about the iridium layer at the K-T boundary, I am enchanted to learn about all the other scientific dinosaurian knowledge which has accumulated in the interim. I appreciated the entertaining and easily understandable format, presenting scientific discovery as an exciting journey to be enjoyed by all.

Wishing for unabridged versions
Revisado: 10-11-18
While Ellis Peters is well worth a good read or a pleasant listen in any form, the abridged versions lose the fine detail and much of the color that make her work so enjoyable. Derek Jacobi could read the phone book and make it come alive!
