The Great Courses - The Modern Scholar - Volume - A These lectures and writings span a wide range of human knowledge, blending history, philosophy, religion, science, mathematics, art, and economics into a broad intellectual tapestry. Figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Augustine, Alexander the Great, and America’s Founding Fathers are explored not only for their achievements but also for the enduring influence of their ideas and values. Courses on American history chart the nation’s development through war, diplomacy, religion, slavery, and economic change, while global histories shed light on civilizations from Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome to India, Russia, and Eastern Europe. Together, these works provide both a chronological and thematic view of human progress—highlighting the struggle for freedom, the evolution of culture, and the transformative power of leadership and ideas. Complementing these historical and cultural narratives are courses that sharpen critical thinking and scientific literacy. Topics such as argumentation, logic, infectious diseases, anthropology, economics, and mathematics (algebra, number theory, and more) encourage analytical skills and practical understanding of the world. Meanwhile, explorations of art across eras, folklore, planetary science, and even cinema bring richness to intellectual life, emphasizing how creativity and inquiry shape societies. Taken as a whole, this collection invites learners to engage with humanity’s deepest questions, greatest struggles, and most inspiring achievements, forming a well-rounded foundation for both academic and personal growth.

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.
