    Richard Dawkins, the world’s most famous evolutionary biologist, presents a gorgeously lucid, science book examining some of the nature’s most fundamental questions both from a mythical and scientific perspective. Science is our most precise and powerful tool for making sense of the world. Before we developed the scientific method, we created rich mythologies to explain the unknown. The pressing questions that primitive men and women asked are the same ones we ask as children. Who was the first person? What is the sun? Why is there night and day?

    Story

    For anyone seeking to know more about our universe, how we got here, and why reality is more fulfilling and amazing than any myth or holy book, this is for you.

    If facts and evidence don't matter to you, this book will do nothing for you. Then again, no book will do anything for you.

    Drawn from the work of StoryCorps, the largest and most ambitious private oral history project in American history, comes this tapestry of the stories Americans have been sharing from their lives to leave behind to their loved ones.

    Story

    Every year I can always count on Audible to notify me via email of their generosity. I use the term "generosity" loosely, as in "Audible was generous enough to send me some anthrax spores!". Perhaps anthrax spores might have been a more generous gift, as I could have snorted it halfway through this book and never had to endure another Audible holiday gift again.

    When it comes to the holidays, no story brings us back to the true spirit of giving like O. Henry’s classic "The Gift of the Magi". So this year we’ve asked some of your favorite Audible narrators—Audie Award winners Katherine Kellgren, Oliver Wyman, and Jonathan Davis—to bring to life this timeless tale, plus two more of O. Henry’s gems: "The Cop and the Anthem" and "The Last Leaf", in this holiday collection.

    Thank you Audible for brightening my holiday. This is an excellent listen when I've exhausted all of the other great holiday past times such as watching paint dry, dipping my head in a vat of asphalt or being the middle tier of a man pyramid at Abu Ghraib prison. Not to sound ungrateful, but I'd rather be waterboarded than spend my time listening to "Holiday Classics".
