SCIENCE SET FREE 10 Paths to New Discovery

Britain’s champion of alternative science reads his own comprehensive response to the mechanistic orthodoxy of modern science. Sheldrake effectively shatters the myth that modern science is objective and open to new possibilities. As he sketches out his alternative worldview, his performance has both the advantages and drawbacks of an author reading: He knows his vocabulary and where to place emphasis. He is more inclined to monotone than a professional actor. He is always clear and well paced. His cultivated accent reminds the listener of his scientific credentials. For longer quotes, Sheldrake uses secondary readers with accents vaguely like those of the thinkers quoted. This can be distracting. F.C. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2012]
