KNOW THIS Today's Most Interesting and Important Scientific Ideas, Discoveries, and Developments

From "the world's smartest website," edge.org, comes an audiobook that analyzes ideas from across the spectrum: music, particle physics, psychology, and human progress. The audiobook's goal is to expand our knowledge base and the way we think, and it succeeds to a large extent. Both narrators, Gabra Zackman and Dan John Miller, have pleasant, friendly voices that propel the audiobook forward and keep it interesting. Miller has a deep tone, and he approaches his material with a conversational style and an energetic pace. Zackman has an equally accessible voice and a bit more variation in her delivery, which emphasizes key words and phrases more specifically. Each one brings enthusiasm and zest to a book that focuses on ideas that have made our lives more productive and more fun. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2017]
