A knowledge of China's imperial history is vital for any understanding of its present, as modern China is linked in many ways to the extraordinary culture of its empire. These 24 lectures take you to the heart of life during China's imperial era, through the lives of individual subjects of all social ranks. Across the arc of the course, you'll witness what daily life was like for government bureaucrats, for scholars, for women of the court, for soldiers, merchants, craftspeople, courtesans, imperial cooks, and many others.

Great job, mislabeled chapters

The actual lectures are great. Some of the lectures are out of order to the chapter headings.

What is masculinity? Ask ten men and you'll get ten vague, conflicting answers. Unlike any book of its kind, The Way of Men offers a simple, straightforward answer - without getting bogged down in religion, morality, or politics. It's a guide for understanding who men have been and the challenges men face today. The Way of Men captures the silent, stifling rage of men everywhere who find themselves at odds with the overregulated, overcivilized, politically correct modern world.

Bestselling author Leonard Shlain explores the life, art, and mind of Leonardo da Vinci, seeking to explain his singularity by looking at his achievements in art, science, psychology, and military strategy (yes), and then employing state of the art left-right brain scientific research to explain his universal genius. Shlain shows that no other person in human history has excelled in so many different areas as Da Vinci and he peels back the layers to explore the how and the why.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The narrator was fine, not my favorite but does a good job.
Would you ever listen to anything by Leonard Shlain again?
I doubt it. There was a lot of speculation pretending to be fact as well as a great deal of misguided interpretation. His grasp on history and religion is not great. He cherry picks a lot of information about brain science. Overall felt like a clever person with an inch deep knowledge on his subjects.
Have you listened to any of Grover Gardner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
yes. Good job.
Any additional comments?
I was really excited to listen to this book. I enjoyed it initially, but as the book progressed the leaps in logic were just too extreme. I feel sorry for someone who reads this book and does not have a background in anyone of the various areas he addresses, as they might think that he knows what he is talking about.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
