About this title

Synopsis

This series of cassettes on Science & Discovery recreates one of history's most successful journeys -- 4,000 years of scientific efforts to better understand the physical world. Science has often challenged and upset conventional wisdom of accepted practices; these are the stories of vested interests and independent thinkers, experiments and theories, change and progress. Aristotle, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Einstein, and many others are featured. Narrator Edwin Newman is a celebrated journalist, author, and lecturer. He was for 35 years a television jouranlist for NBC News, and he's familiar to millions as a moderator of presidential debates.

Reviews

Good history is such a joy. This program's pedestrian title gives no clue to the treasure-trove of information it contains. We learn how the library at Alexandria fired the ancient imagination, the real impetus behind alchemy and why the early theory of inertia was considered heretical. Edwin Newman's authoritative narration and the interesting, accented, sometimes eccentric voices representing historical characters and contemporary experts on the subject make this a wonderful listening experience. Newman moves at a lively pace, and musical bridges separate major ideas or periods. Only some overpowering cameo voices detract from this terrific program. R.I.G. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Store Description

I started selling used books in 1985 in Davis, California, and online in 1998. I enjoy the process of using language to fully describe the advantages and blemishes of each book. Language can capture details that a photograph might miss, but if you are visually-oriented, I am happy to send a photo--please include your phone number, since it is easier to send a picture via text than email. I am of "mature" years, but will continue to sell books as long as I am able: I enjoy it too much! I am a mere temporary custodian, sending each book to its ultimate shelf--the one where it is appreciated the most.
