The Great Courses - The Modern Scholar - Volume - U This set of Great Courses forms a comprehensive intellectual toolkit designed to help learners understand the foundations, mechanics, and meaning of the world around us. It covers core scientific domains—genetics, quantum physics, astronomy, electronics, calculations, multivariable calculus, complexity science, and the science of perception—providing both conceptual explanation and real-world applications. Complementing this scientific base are courses on biology, anatomy, physiology, modern inventions, structures, and the inventions that shaped civilization, as well as explorations of misconceptions in science, tomorrow’s emerging technologies, and the hidden history of DNA. Together, these works give the listener a strong grounding in the physical and biological sciences that govern life and the universe. Equally robust are the humanities and social sciences courses, which delve into human culture, language, behavior, and civilization. Learners can explore cultural geography, imperial China, Russia and Japan’s cultural histories, U.S. government, world politics, Middle Eastern history, utopian and totalitarian movements, and the New and Old Testaments. Additional courses illuminate the human mind and emotions, the darker sides of human nature, nonverbal communication, literature, music, drama, and linguistics. Practical human-centered topics—such as self-defense strategies, unexpected economics, and investments—round out the collection. Altogether, these courses map the intricate interplay between science, society, and the human condition, offering a panoramic view of how we understand both our world and ourselves.

Let customers speak for us
This series was discontinued due to issues with the two authors as well as the publishing house. You can't buy the first 4-5 books in the series in print, ebook, or audiobook. An old print copy for one of them can go for like $200 on ebay. So to find the entire audiobook series for such an insanely good price made me take the plunge and buy. I figured even if it didn't work, it was worth the attempt. But the CD came, had everything on it, and I've since converted it to listen to the Books app on my iPhone. Soooooo worth it.
Couldn't believe the great price for this series. CD came in good time, even during the holidays. The audio is slightly lower quality than expected, but once you get into the groove of listening you stop noticing.
arrive in a timely manner and works well
A rare and hard to find series of audiobooks. And a fantastic find in this case. The sound quality varies, but considering the source material, not too bad at all.
Prompt and efficient delivery (to UK).
Certainly good value for money.
