The Great Courses - The Modern Scholar - Volume - V,W,Y and Z The Great Courses V–Z collection offers a sweeping journey across the major forces that shaped civilization and the intellectual frameworks humans use to understand the world. Volume V opens with cultural history—Victorian Britain, visual literacy, Enlightenment philosophy—before expanding into World Wars, global diplomacy, economic rise and fall, the psychology of evil, medical science, probability, evolution, and geology. Courses like War, Peace, and Power, World War I, World War II (Pacific, Europe, Social History) and War & World History provide a panoramic understanding of global conflict, while courses like What Darwin Didn’t Know, What Einstein Got Wrong, What Science Knows About Cancer, and Wonders of the National Parks explore scientific breakthroughs that redefine how humans view life, the universe, and the planet. The collection also highlights the humanities and human expression—from Shakespearean drama to Nietzschean philosophy and the study of ancient writing systems. Practical creativity is nurtured through courses in creative nonfiction, fiction techniques, and effective written communication. The final volumes (Y and Z) pivot toward personal mastery, including Yoga for a Healthy Mind and Body, Your Best Brain, Critical Thinking, and Self-Presentation, empowering learners to improve well-being and mental performance. The set concludes with foundational scientific explorations such as Zero to Infinity: A History of Numbers and Zoology, tying together human culture, natural history, cognition, and scientific progress. Collectively, these courses form a grand interdisciplinary library—a complete toolkit for understanding the human story, the natural world, and the inner workings of the mind.

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.
