WAITING FOR APHRODITE Journeys into the Time before Bones

Warning: If you listen to this wonderful book while driving, you will detour irresistibly to the nearest shoreline. Award-winning science writer Sue Hubbell makes the world of invertebrates as intriguing as the best mystery. And narrator Barbara Caruso’s honey-warm voice and exquisitely timed delivery will captivate even the most science-phobic listener. Her moderate pace, clarity, and obvious enjoyment of the book ensure that listeners both understand what they are hearing and are hooked by it. It’s a perfect pairing--Hubbell writes beautifully and Caruso reads beautifully. From stories about wading about in tidal pools to the evolution of horseshoe crabs, this book is pure pleasure. A.C.S.
