In a book of unprecedented scope Iain McGilchrist presents a fascinating exploration of the differences between the brain’s left and right hemispheres and how those differences have affected society, history and culture. McGilchrist draws on a vast body of recent research in neuroscience and psychology to reveal that the difference is profound: the left hemisphere is detail oriented, while the right has greater breadth, flexibility and generosity.

Charles Dickens' classic story, A Tale of Two Cities, is set before and during the French Revolution. The people are divided not only by class but by war. It shows the cruelty shown by both sides of French society toward one another and compares these acts to those happening in London in the same time period. Listeners are sure to enjoy this timeless narrative.

This is more than a story: It is a performance
Revisado: 06-28-16
This story is probably much easier to listen to than it is to read. I had never read it before so I can't really compare but this audio version is one that you should not miss.
The real excellence here is the pairing of story and narrator. Gildart Jackson must be some kind of vocal genius and I would award him all the prizes for his work on this book. The voices of Jerry Cruncher and Miss Pross are very memorable. There are many highlights but, to me, the best was the scene where Miss Pross confronts Madame Defarge, and wins!

Virtually all human societies were once organized tribally, yet over time most developed new political institutions which included a central state that could keep the peace and uniform laws that applied to all citizens. Some went on to create governments that were accountable to their constituents. We take these institutions for granted, but they are absent or are unable to perform in many of today’s developing countries—with often disastrous consequences for the rest of the world.

Few forests, but lots of trees

Good voice; great material
Revisado: 05-22-15
The narrator actually takes on the tone of the author and has a good voice. The material is quite unique and it teaches history alongside politics and basic economics. Now for the second book...
