"Completely entertaining"
If you like science and history and good documentaries on television, you will thoroughly enjoy this audiobook. The reading material itself is gold and really brought to life by the excellent narration of Richard Matthews. Funny, illuminating, inspiring and all encompassing, this audio book is very long yet never drags. I grabbed it on a whim, decided to test out a chapter to see how it was and sat transfixed for hours! Volcanism, dinosaurs, astronomy, anthropology, the human genome...it's as good as non-fiction audio gets.
