The Great Courses - The Modern Scholar - Volume - N & O This section of The Great Courses catalog spans natural sciences, philosophy, history, and self-improvement, continuing the broad and interdisciplinary reach of the series. Under “N,” we see explorations of both the physical and human worlds: Frank Summers’ New Frontiers surveys the solar system’s latest discoveries, Lawrence Weinstein’s Nuclear Physics Explained demystifies atomic science, and Roberta Anding’s Nutrition Made Clear connects everyday life to health and diet. Human experience and thought come through Daniel Cobb’s Native Peoples of North America, Joseph Koterski’s Natural Law and Human Nature, and Robert Solomon’s No Excuses: Existentialism and the Meaning of Life, while Jackson Crawford’s Norse Mythology revives ancient sagas. Art Benjamin’s No Calculator? No Problem! shows math’s playful, practical side, and National Geographic Polar Explorations blends adventure with geography and environmental science. The “O” section continues with an emphasis on origins, the human mind, and self-mastery. Harold Tobin’s Oceanography delves into Earth’s least understood wilderness, while Robert Hazen’s Origins of Life and Kenneth Harl’s Origins of Great Ancient Civilizations connect science and history to humanity’s beginnings. Peter Mancall’s Origins and Ideologies of the American Revolution ties politics and culture to the foundation of a nation, while Stephen Hinshaw’s Origins of the Human Mind explores psychology and development. Edward Murphy’s Our Night Sky celebrates stargazing and astronomy in an accessible form, complementing the scientific curiosity of earlier works. Finally, Richard Restak’s Optimizing Brain Fitness and Peter Vishton’s Outsmart Yourself emphasize cognitive health and applied neuroscience, showing how brain science translates into practical tools for better living. Together, these courses reinforce The Great Courses’ hallmark: blending scientific exploration, cultural insight, and personal growth into accessible lifelong learning.

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.
