From AudioFile
These tapes bring together Stephen Jay Gould's most recent essays on topics as diverse as evolution, Edgar Allen Poe and the meaning of the millennium. The presentation alternates between readings by MacRae and Zimbalist. The former presents with a reedy lyricism befitting the author's lighter moments, and the latter provides the raspy, stentorian baritone of the distinguished professor. Simply packaged and powered by dense prose, this volume teaches us that great scholarship can delight and instruct. J.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
