What is it like to be a dog? A bat? Or a dolphin? To find out, neuroscientist Gregory Berns and his team began with a radical step: they taught dogs to go into an MRI scanner - completely awake. They discovered what makes dogs individuals with varying capacities for self-control, different value systems, and a complex understanding of human speech. And dogs were just the beginning. In What It's Like to Be a Dog, Berns explores the fascinating inner lives of wild animals from dolphins and sea lions to the extinct Tasmanian tiger.

Very little to do with dogs
Revisado: 02-21-23
While the books starts with dogs in MRI machines it quickly veers to dolphins and seals and thyloceins and road trips to Tasmania etc. The title seems quite misleading given most of the story isn't about dogs. It sheds no light on its title "What It's Like to Be a Dog". It's good information and a fun listen but not what it's presented to be.

The Seven Storey Mountain is the extraordinary spiritual testament of Thomas Merton (1915-1968), a man who experienced life to its fullest in the world before entering a Trappist monastery. By the end of his life, he had become one of the 20th century's best-known and beloved Christian voices. This autobiography deals...not with what happens to a man, but what happens inside his soul.

As moving and brief as Mertons life.

Merton is well known and important to Catholics as a remarkable Trappist monk. He is important to the rest of us for his in incredible relationships with those of other faiths. The Dali Llama called his his Buddhist brother. This sharing of core beliefs and mutual respect is always beautiful.

Did you know that most of our dinosaur fossils were discovered because two grown men absolutely hated each other? It’s true! Rivals! Frenemies Who Changed the World is a riotous audio exclusive, like if Monty Python taught your history class. Each volume of four 30-minute histories will dig into the petty name-calling and grumbling grudges that led to many of the world’s greatest advancements, all delivered with a cheeky sense of humor. Choose sides: Cope or Marsh, the jerks who discovered so many dinosaurs; Hamilton or Burr, whose rivalry fueled American politics; and many more....

Shakespeare's works are among the greatest of humanity's cultural expressions and, as such, demand to be experienced and understood. But, simply put, Shakespeare is difficult. His language and culture - those of Elizabethan England - are greatly different from our own, and his poetry, thick with metaphorical imagery and double meanings, can be hard to penetrate.

I'm a long time lover of all things Bard. Still, every chapter added perspective and corrected long held errors and assumptions. From historical context to different ways to see old topics this title delivers. I've had this title for years and listened to it several times now.

A Modern-day Classic
Revisado: 09-06-20
Keeping abreast of science is a struggle sometimes. From Brian Greene to Lee Smolin to Carlo Rovelli the available titles are enthralling but more than can be absorbed for the non-PHD enthusiasts. Quanta Magazine really helps. Their content, highlighted in this excellent book, is able to cover difficult topics without watering them down to an unrecognizable soup. If you get it, great! If you don't you can go learn what you are missing to understand. Its a great listen and a modern-day classic.

More than ninety percent of dog owners consider their pets to be members of their family. But often, despite our best intentions, we are letting our dogs down by not giving them the guidance and direction they need. Unwanted behavior is the number-one reason dogs are relinquished to shelters and rescue groups.

A team of the leaders in the field share scientifically derived as well as personal observations about dog psychology. The second read was as good as the first. This is the most valuable resource I've read on the subject. I believe this is a must have for every dog owner.

There are 83 copies of the First Folio in a vault beneath Capitol Hill - the world's largest collection. Well over 150 Indian movies are based on Shakespeare's plays - more than in any other nation. If current trends continue, there will soon be more high school students reading The Merchant of Venice in Mandarin Chinese than in early modern English. Why did this happen, and how? Ranging ambitiously across four continents and 400 years, Worlds Elsewhere is an eye-opening account of how Shakespeare went global.

I didn't expect such a history to exist, much less to be found and narrated so engagingly. The author takes us into the hearts of people and places far from England but we find a common love of the Bard and his remarkable work.

Fifteen-year-old Christopher Boone has Asperger's Syndrome, a condition similar to autism. He doesn't like to be touched or meet new people, he cannot make small talk, and he hates the colors brown and yellow.

Britain's most esteemed scholar of 16th and 17th century literature, Frank Kermode is also a noted author and professor. In this Modern Library Chronicle, he uses the context of the Elizabethan Era to link each of Shakespeare's plays to their probable years of creation. By portraying the bard's England in terms of its society, economy, and arts, Kermode provides an invaluable guide to understanding Shakespeare?s works.

Puts Shakespeare in context
Revisado: 05-09-11
I love Shakespeare but sometimes the plays seem harsh and very non-PC. In an age where people paid to see dogs tear a live bear to shreds the works of Shakespeare seems much kinder. The Age of Shakespeare dlves deep into a time that seems at once distant and familiar.
It's very entertaining and informative.

Becoming Shakespeare begins with his death in 1616 and relates the fascinating story of his unlikely transformation from provincial playwright to universal Bard. Unlike later literary giants, Shakespeare created no stir when he died. Though he'd once had a string of hit plays, he had been retired in the country for six years, and only his family, friends, and business partners seemed to care that he was gone.

An entertaining look at the making of a legend
Revisado: 05-09-11
You don't need to know the plays and sonnets to enjoy this unusual book. There was little said about Shakespeare for several years after his death. Had his friends not published the first folio of his works seven years after his death, Shakespeare might still be little known. Becoming Shakespeare explains how the son of a glove maker became a superstar and the most loved author in English literature.
