If you could sum up The Modern Scholar in three words, what would they be?
Concise, Informative and Entertaining.Any additional comments?
I had no idea, honestly! I have fairly good grasp of the late Paleolithic up until today. I even have a fair grasp of the big bang to the formation of the solar system, plants and early life. But what about this middle bit. The missing bit. The bit about dinosaurs. Nope had no idea. Out with some cartoon imagery and basic names of dinosaurs from a child I knew nothing. Now I do. It is actually, ironically, the most interesting period, and the bridge.I always scoffed at it as a time of some kind of irrelevant giant lizard birds and some crazy safari clad men going about digging up bones (fossils). Oh how wrong was I! It is so much more, it really is, and it is not irrelevant at all.
So if this is how you ended up here to find out about the mesolithic I can tell you this title is very enlightening while being concise and informative. A real find and contrast to the great courses perfectly practised more intensely academic style. I like that a great deal but this is more what a lecture hall is like actually in the real world. It is a bit more casual, a bit less scripted. Have a listen it will bring back your student days - but this time giant lizard birds are brought to life. ;) Enjoy!
I had no idea!

What made the experience of listening to The Modern Scholar the most enjoyable?
I have never written a review for any of the many audio books I have listened to in the past. However, I felt obligated to write a review for this one as it is the best performance I have ever listened to. Kept me highly entertained throughout. Did not want it to end!Amazing!

Professor Kricher touches lightly, but intelligently on the history of dinosaur hunters and their Museum directors, the earth's geological timeline and which dinosaurs existed in which era, and the anatomy of the subgroups of dinosaurs. If the man did not go deeply into each topic, it is because it would have taken several semesters of intensive course work to just to scrape the top of the geology, comparative anatomy, and the social history of the people who originally found and named the prehistoric bones. I enjoy listening to scholars who obviously enjoy their subject. I recommend this work to anyone interested in geology and history, not just dinosaurs.
John Kricher is a terrific teacher

Would you listen to The Modern Scholar again? Why?
Already have - about 3 times!Any additional comments?
Professor Kricher knows his subject and makes it accessible and interesting! It was like being a kid again and discovering how cool dinosaurs were for the first time. He doesn't just talk about the dinosaurs but also the history of fossil hunting, the personalities of the people who found and studied the fossils, and there's even a chapter of dinosaurs in film. Finishing this lecture had me searching (fruitlessly) for other audiobooks about dinosaurs.Worth every moment!

That said, the man knows his stuff and presents in a way that is informative and yet meted out at a pace that’s easy to follow and to create an ever developing sense of the scope that the dinosaurs played in the history of life on this planet. He presents the material in a light hearted manner that allowed me to take in what he was saying without having to struggle to understand what fits where and when. Overall, it’s very educational and enjoyable and well worth a listen.
An enjoyable, educational trip through the real Jurassic Park

Where does The Modern Scholar rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Modern Scholar is among my favorites for history, science and technology lectures.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Modern Scholar?
The authors time line description of the chronological order in terms of one year. It gave me a sense of how much time elapsed between first life and first complex life.What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The authors narration is wonderfully inspiring. Plenty of explanations of terms and theorythat are very understandable.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did in fact listen to it in one sitting.Very informative most entertaining
