poorly written overview of evolutionary biology

Revisado: 09-06-20

The content of this book is seemingly meant to supply a narrative of the main tenants of evolutionary biology across the earth's timeline. But the poor writing, pedantic style of the author, bad organization of the material, injection of superfluous and unrelated examples, and lack of important details on crucial issues showing critique of this approach leave this book tiresome and painful to endure. The reading of the content by this audio book performer further renders this text into an uninspiring range of drivel to rant.

There are dozens of alternatives from which you can garner this information in a more scholarly or lay format, whichever you prefer. Several of the Great Courses provide much better focused learning on segments of this micro and macro evolutionary process. This book is best left off your shelf (physical or electronic).

Good audio book on an important topic

Revisado: 07-26-17

this thoughtful book raises many good questions and presents some strong thinking about how to approach solutions. Strong writing with some minor detail error on technical topics.

an astounding work

Revisado: 05-01-17

The audio rendition of this classic, now updated, book is worthy of the text. The author delivers what amounts to the best narrative sketch of complete church history that is available to us. The narration of this title is excellent , well paced, clear voiced and enjoyable to listen to.

a titillating story in place of insightful history

Revisado: 10-03-16

pros: narrative history with detail that attempts to bring the reader into the world of the Caesars.

cons: in attending to the salacious details of the personal depravity of emperors of the Julio-Claudian line , left to the wayside is any semblance of geopolitical, economic, military, or scholarly insights . Rather than explaining the Roman times and rule through the era, we are left with the author explaining the hidden truths of phallic thrusts and gender reassignment surgery as a 1st century metaphor for building canals through Italy and Greece. if you've read a lot of ancient Greek and Roman history, this will be a stark departure that will add no historical value, but may indeed be a Hollywood script.

excellent narrative approach. riveting history

Revisado: 09-06-16

I've read dozens of history books in the last few years. almost all on ancient Greco-Roman civilizations. this unique book on Byzantine history helped me immensely. it shows a far different perspective than western European sources such as Gibbon's "Fall & Decline of the Roman Empire" and modern day reincarnations.

the narrative approach was at first less interesting to me, but as the book moves along it becomes almost essential to the vast number of turns in the chronological explanation of the Byzantine story. in the end using this approach proved excellent and rewarding.

riveting. understandable. but not detailed

Revisado: 08-11-16

I loved this book. I haven't read very much physics since the 80's and wanted to catch up on what has been learned and developed in the realm of cosmology and physics , relativity and quantum theories. this provided a good review of those areas and recent ideas. enjoyable.
