The Great Courses - The Modern Scholar - Volume - H This collection offers a remarkable sweep of history, culture, science, and practical learning, reflecting both timeless themes and modern challenges. Elizabeth Vandiver’s Herodotus: The Father of History, Gregory Aldrete’s History of the Ancient World, and Philip Daileader’s How the Crusades Changed History root the set in global historical foundations, while Thomas A. Shippey’s Heroes and Legends and Gary Wolfe’s How Great Science Fiction Works show how literature and imagination shape our understanding of human experience. Explorations of discovery and innovation appear in Vejas Gabriel Liulevicius’ History’s Greatest Voyages of Exploration, Lawrence Principe’s History of Science: Antiquity to 1700, and Michael Wysession’s How the Earth Works. Practical but culturally rich explorations—Ken Albala’s History of Bourbon and Paul Wagner’s History of Wine in 10 Glasses—pair well with Sharon Hirsh’s How to Look at and Understand Great Art and Eric Williams’ How to View and Appreciate Great Movies, which deepen appreciation for culture. A strong thread of “How To” skill-building and self-development runs throughout. Anne Curzan’s How Conversation Works, Carol Ann Lloyd’s How to Build Meaningful Relationships, and Jane Friedman’s How to Publish Your Book focus on communication and creativity, while Jeremy Silman’s How to Play Chess, Pamela Pike’s How to Play Piano, John Keyser’s How to Program, and Dawn Pierce’s How to Sing emphasize artistic and intellectual mastery. Kimberlee Bonura’s multiple works (How to Boost Your Physical and Mental Energy, How to Stay Fit as You Age, How to Make Stress Work for You) and Heidi Sormaz’s How to Live a Yogic Lifestyle highlight wellness. Scientific insights emerge in Charles Adler’s How Science Shapes Science Fiction, David Kung’s How Music and Mathematics Relate, Indre Viskontas’ How Digital Technology Shapes Us, and Ryan Hamilton’s How You Decide. Jonah Berger’s How Ideas Spread and J.D. Roth’s How to Achieve Financial Independence and Retire Early focus on influence and economics, complemented by Ramon DeGennaro’s How the Stock Market Works. With Robert Greenberg’s masterful How to Listen to and Understand Great Music and Opera, Marc Conner’s How to Read and Understand Shakespeare, and James Scott Bell’s How to Write Best-Selling Fiction, the collection becomes both an academic journey and a practical guide to lifelong enrichment.

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.
