This is a summary of The Selfish Gene, a reformulation of the theory of natural selection developed by Charles Darwin. This classic is focused on the nature of altruism and selfishness that creatures have. Despite that any living creature is focused on his well-being, the study reveals that they have a natural sense of altruism as well. Many creatures have a tendency of sacrificing themselves for their loved ones’ safety.

False starts, poor production.

False starts, poor production. Good concept poorly executed. This publisher would benefit from better quality control.

Disclaimer: This is not the original book. Time is an extremely complex subject that has given birth to countless interesting questions; Stephen Hawking answers a lot of them. A Brief History of Time is a book written by one of the most brilliant scientists in the world, reviewing great theories of widely known scientists and following it with his own work which reveals many secrets about time and black holes. Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time is definitely a must for any person curious enough about the universe surrounding him.

Questionable Review Authenticity, Mispronunciation
Revisado: 05-12-19
Questionable Review Authenticity, Mispronunciation, poor production.
The initial reviews for this publisher’s piece here are all near perfect and within two days time and then cease.
The narration is erratic and stilted in timing with words running together and mispronunciations.
“Ptolemy, another astrone-MAY.”
Many of this publisher’s titles suffer from these problems. The concept is good, execution poor.

For nearly four decades, David Sedaris has faithfully kept a diary in which he records his thoughts and observations on the odd and funny events he witnesses. Anyone who has attended a live Sedaris event knows that his diary readings are often among the most joyful parts of the evening. But never before have they been available in print. Now, in Theft by Finding, Sedaris brings us his favorite entries. From deeply poignant to laugh-out-loud funny, these selections reveal with new intimacy a man longtime fans only think they know.

If you get David Sedaris you’ll love this. If you don’t you won’t. Laughed out loud. Looking forward to the next volume.

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?

Excellent in performance and composition
Revisado: 01-30-16
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, a fantastic examination and presentation on the subject.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Life Unfolding?
The interrelationships of geometry and chemistry in the formation of the embryo.
Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed the narration. I would consider Ryan for a comparable video production's narration. I don't care for the popular Ira Glassian style.

Objective? No. For Objectivists? Oh Yeah!
Revisado: 04-16-13
Would you be willing to try another one of Joyce Bean’s performances?
The narrator's performance is fine save for inflections that are a little insulting and corny. After we hear about Hank and Dagny's superior moral constitutions and Hank's fidelity to his marriage vows in a strident proud tone we hear in shy, dulcet tone "then they made love" as Hank throws his marriage contract under the bus, or should I say train, and does "it" with that other paragon of individualist virtue, Dagny. There's plenty of this.
Was Atlas Shrugged: CliffsNotes worth the listening time?
It's a great listen when you can't being yourself to waste precious days reading 1200 pages of a horrible one dimensional deluded screed by a psychopath. It gives you character breakdowns and reduces some of the rehashed and profoundly boring text to the essential message--corporate power, awesome, public governance, evil! Cliffs is a quality product. Side note: Professor Bernstein (not surprisingly) is a "radical for laissez-faire capitalism." as per his website.
Any additional comments?
If you actually think you need to plumb the depths of this traumatized psychopath, Alisa Rosenbaum, and have any semblance of empathy and at least one pinky toe rooted in reality, this is one of the lesser painful ways to accomplish this.
