Explores a complex topic with elegance and clarity
Revisado: 07-14-19
In this long-form intimate essay Harris explores the many facets of a complex topic with remarkable elegance and clarity, presenting a nuanced and expansive perspective on consciousness that synthesizes philosophy and neuroscience. Her viewpoint is profound and inspired despite her strict materialism, moving beyond the reductionist view that consciousness is nothing more than an emergent phenomenon of electrochemical networks one step removed from an anthill. For the sake of clarity and precision, some alternative arguments are quickly dismissed based on exceptions and edge cases, but this is a delightfully condensed and sweepingly broad summary of advanced thinking for the general audience as well as the expert. Narrated by the author with a voiceover tone that is warm, effortless, unforced, polished and delightful to hear.

J. M. W. Turner is one of the most important figures in Western art, and his visionary work paved the way for a revolution in landscape painting. Over the course of his lifetime, Turner strove to liberate painting from an antiquated system of patronage. Bringing a new level of expression and color to his canvases, he paved the way for the modern artist.

Balanced biography of a complex artist
Revisado: 05-05-17
This meticulously researched biography paints a comprehensive chronology if Turner's life, relations, and the intellectual pursuits that accompanied his prodigious artistic output. A sober and fact-based analysis of Turner's life which carefully avoids the myths, hyperbole and cliches that have plagued Turner's legacy. The audio performance uses regional accents to add color and distinguish the various characters.
