Understanding our humanity - the essence of who we are - is one of the deepest mysteries and biggest challenges in modern science. Why do we have bad moods? Why are we capable of having such strange dreams? How can metaphors in our language hold such sway on our actions? As we learn more about the mechanisms of human behavior through evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, and other related fields, we're discovering just how intriguing the human species is.

In this 24-lesson course aimed at non-scientists, noted particle physicist Dr. Don Lincoln of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory covers more than a century of progress in physics, describing exactly how scientists reach the conclusions they do. He starts with the atom, which was long hypothesized but wasn’t definitively proven until a paper by Albert Einstein in 1905. That was just the beginning, as researchers probed ever deeper into the atom’s complex structure, leading to the weird findings of quantum mechanics.

Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind them are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone. These dynamic and illuminating lectures begin with a brief overview of theories of physical reality starting with Aristotle and culminating in Newtonian or "classical" physics.

Why do you have trouble controlling certain behaviors? Why do you behave differently as an adult than you did as an adolescent?Since the start of recorded history, and probably even before, people have been interested in answering questions about why we behave the way we do.

What is Western Civilization? According to Professor Noble, it is "much more than human and political geography," encompassing myriad forms of political and institutional structures - from monarchies to participatory republics - and its own traditions of political discourse. It involves choices about who gets to participate in any given society and the ways in which societies have resolved the tension between individual self-interest and the common good.

What makes evolution such a profoundly provocative concept, so convincing to most scientists, yet so socially and politically divisive?

Publisher's Summary
One of the greatest scientific feats of our era is the astonishing progress made in understanding biology-the intricate machinery of life-a progress to which the period we are living in right now has contributed the most.
As you read these words, researchers are delving ever deeper into the workings of living systems, turning their discoveries into new medical treatments, improved methods of growing food, and innovative products that are already changing the world.
The 72 lectures in this comprehensive exploration of living systems at all levels-from biological molecules to global ecosystems-will give you all the information you need to grasp this fascinating field and its impact on both our own lives and our understanding of the life that surrounds us.
Professor Nowicki presents his subject in a conceptual format, emphasizing the importance of broad principles. Though facts and details are offered in abundance, it is always in the context of developing a context listeners can readily absorb.
Your newfound mastery of the fundamentals of biology will serve you in many ways-whether you want to read the headlines with greater insight, update a subject you studied long ago, view the natural world with new appreciation, become a better-informed voter and consumer, or gain the intellectual stimulation of understanding the basic principles that unite all living things.

Great purchase even for a bio major!
Any additional comments?
I am using this audiobook to review some of the concepts I learned during my time as a Biological Sciences major. Although I am already familiar with most of the material being covered, I have been using this audiobook to review for the MCAT. I would totally recommend this to anyone looking for an easy way to review major concepts. He does an excellent job of describing mechanisms and processes in a way that is easy to comprehend. I typically listen to this while driving or on the bus. However, I should mention that this may not be an easy listen for someone who has never taken an introductory biology course at the university level. For those people, I would suggest getting a general biology book containing related figures and diagrams or better yet getting the video version of these lectures because it may be difficult to visualize certain processes just by his description.

PDF images in black & white
Any additional comments?
Colorful images are a powerful tool to learn many scientific concepts, and help to retain information. Audio-only is rather difficult for so much information; thus, the workbook. The images were clearly created in color but converted to black & white for the PDF, diminishing the value considerably. Of course, the book cover on the PDF is in color, just nothing else. I will now need to search the web for each concept, where the book includes images, for a better learning experience. How very disappointing,

Good place to start but outdated.
If you could sum up Biology: The Science of Life in three words, what would they be?
A great place to begin even for laymen, but the fact that this audiobook is from 2003 shows. This audiobook deserves a 2nd edition.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Biology: The Science of Life?
When Junk DNA (via retro viralesque means) was talked about as a viable possibility, BTW Junk DNA has been proven wrong.
This does not mean that this audiobook is useless, as there are a lot of relevant stuff in there as well.
What about Professor Stephen Nowicki’s performance did you like?
calm, clear, and easy to understand.
I would petition Stephen for a 2nd edition.
The way Stephen talks about the various subjects, as well as the way he structures his lessons, does credit to the initial goals, stated in lecture 1, that this is meant to be the layman's entry to the world of biology as well as useable by students seeking to get a college degree.
Any additional comments?
The title and intro (the opening lines of chapter 1) of this audiobook suggests that this is made for non-scientists as well. You cannot expect non scientists to be completely up to date on current scientific literature. Genetics happens to be an interest of mine(and i have Sadava's understanding genetics from the great courses), therefore i knew about junk DNA.
But the average curious Georges and Janes are not necessarily going to have my interest, and they will most likely not appreciate the 41$ price-tag (15 if they subscribe to audible), just to get outdated teaching material.
Now i know i have just blitzed this audiobook, but i still encourage you, dear fellow layman consumer, to at least consider this audiobook.
My tirade about junk DNA is about 5 sentences in one lecture, and junk DNA is served as a hypothesis and not as a theory, There are 72 lectures and most of this (at least to my knowledge) is still correct.
The course guidebook even comes with several graphs and models. so you get lectures as well as what is basically a biology book.

If you could sum up Biology: The Science of Life in three words, what would they be?
Science is awesome
What about Professor Stephen Nowicki’s performance did you like?
This could be terribly dry material in other hands, but Nowicki is a very good speaker, and makes things seem alive.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I'm listening to it on daily walks. Today I listened to the episodes about the discovery of DNA, however, and it was so gripping I walked an extra half mile to get to the end.
Any additional comments?
This is really helping me with the biology class I'm taking. Everything is explained thoroughly, but Nowicki doesn't get bogged down with details that aren't pertinent at the moment. I've been recommending this series very highly to my classmates!

Learn to Talk to your Son
Would you listen to Biology: The Science of Life again? Why?
I periodically return to lectures to see what I missed. The course is a tour-de-force. My son is taking AP Biology and plans to make a career in biology. I thought, as a lawyer and programmer who never took a college science course, that I should meet him half way. Perhaps, if I had taked a course with Prof. Nowicki, my career path would have changed.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Biology: The Science of Life?
I finally understood what the fuss was over "creation vs.evolution" and why the creationists are driving real scientists totally crazy. The classes on the origins of life, and on Darwin were fascinating and explained why treating the 2 schools of thought as "absolute truths" are completely incompatible. As an ethical guide and parable, maybe, ... but as absolute truth, modern man, committed to the scientific method finds that approach an anathema.
Which character – as performed by Professor Stephen Nowicki – was your favorite?
This was a science lecture. The discussion of the discovery of DNA was a great story.

Professor Nowicki of Duke University starts out his first lecture with this quote from 75 years ago. He wants to make Biology more accessible to ordinary people also and that is what this course is. I have to be honest and say this was the toughest course I have taken yet in the Great Courses I own. There are a total of 72 thirty-minute lectures and a 460-page book that also comes with the course to get through. I probably retained about a third of what the Professor was teaching and will definitely listen to this again and again until I can absorb it all.
What I really loved about this book was the in depth study of how life begins, what each part of a living being does and how it is determined. My other favorite parts were about Mendel and his Peas that he studied and how they differ from Darwin and his Evolutionary theory.
I also was fascinated by the Professor talking about how many Humans the Earth can sustain and what is the next step when we finally reach that threshold. I am retired and have tried to keep my brain active by learning something new every day and this course really helped to stretch my mind.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who loves science and Biology especially as this is a great overview of the subject. I certainly was entranced by everything the Professor taught.

Excellent book for Biology lovers
Would you listen to Biology: The Science of Life again? Why?
The book has a lot of scientific information helpful in getting a good grasp in introductory Biology. It has been helpful in repeating and revising the material learned in a university class and a great addition to the regular text book. I would recommend it to students, especially those who commute to school as a supplemental material.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Biology: The Science of Life?
The course is both wide and deep, and presents a good review material.
What about Professor Stephen Nowicki’s performance did you like?
Very knowledgeable and passionate, carries the listener away into the scientific world.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Emotions are not a part of scientific approach.
Any additional comments?
Best use of your time if you are into the material presented.

Surprisingly more biochemistry-focused
It was good enough to keep me listening, but didn't stir the "soul". There are long periods of dry and cold material that leave you wanting a bit more inspiration. Otherwise, it was good and I appreciate the subject matter so I have bias towards this audio book.

More for a second year Biology student than 1st yr
Nowicki knows the subject well, unfortunately he doesn't know how to communicate what he knows.
First thing he tells you is that while the majority of Biology courses (including the one you're likely studying for...) proceed to teach in a general order of A, B, C, D, etc... he is going to instead teach us in his own special, special, special way in order of 1, R, Blue, %, etc. Basically - he recategorizes biology to suit his view then teaches 'beginning to end' in each category... and those categories do NOT follow along with most Biology 101 & 102 class texts. He moves up into some advanced ideas before even covering the basics but hey - it's his own very special, special, special way of teaching.
You can't even jump around to follow by going to the various categories he's set up as each of them start with the assumption that you understood everything that he tossed into the prior category.
You'll also find yourself ready to scream as he subdivides a thought three or four degrees before actually making a point he started to make.
Useless to help study for Bio 101 & 102 but would be helpful for advanced students.

My new addiction
I love all things science, so go figure this is in my top lectures. If you don't have a basic understanding of organic chemistry, this could be a bit overwhelming. For those that want to know more about biology or want to dust off their knowledge in general, this lecture is great. I will be listening to this lecture again.

Biology brought to life!
What made the experience of listening to Biology: The Science of Life the most enjoyable?
This series of lectures is written and read in such a lively, engaging manner, its a pleasure to listen to and promotes effortless learning. I have been hoping in earnest for a series like this to appear (vast improvement over the lacklustre modern scholar title I tried previously) and I can't wait to sample other courses in the series.
The professor - whose performance is bright and bouncy enough to carry you the distance with his enthusiasm- gives an extremely well structured overview of the life sciences, pitched at about A level. I am fairly familiar with the material but It is suitable for those with limited knowledge of the subject- however such a reader might need to supplement their learning with diagrams from books to gain a more complete understanding of some topics.

High calibre education
I have completed my under graduate degree in biochemistry, a masters in protein engineering, and am about to begin my PhD in protein engineering of biopesticides. I have had a love for biology my whole life and have read Darwin, Gould and Dawkins. And yet not a single part of this audio book was mundane or over simplified. The level of complexity covering molecular biology and genetics, organismal development and homeostasis, the cell, immunity, evolution, biogeography and geology and so many more areas is brilliant. I have listened to it multiple times and the excellence of this series still baffles me. Not only is it scientifically heavy, but the stories of scientists through out history and today is told so well!
This is perfect for anyone with a keen interest in biology. It may however be starting at too advanced a level for anyone with no prior knowledge in biology. But by no means is that restrictive. If you want to learn and have any schooling at all, get this audio book!

Content good, music bad
I've reached chapter 5'ish so far and the subject and narrator are brilliant, excellent actually, but, the music and fake(?) clapping between each lecture can be a little much, whether through headphones or a fairly decent Hi-Fi.
Although it's not too loud or longer than a few seconds, the brass instrument is high pitched and completely pointless; it feels like someone left their phone on and sat next to you :D and why the introductory clapping?
All-in-all, brilliant content and well worth it if you're ok with distractions

Thorough and well structured course
Amazing listen for the knowledge hungry. As a scientist in a totally different field, with no education in biology beyond high school, this audiobook gave me so much useful material, in a very approachable way and following a nice structure to retain all the key concepts.
Arid at times, skip through if a particular chapter doesn't interest you. Great knowledge lays ahead.

um er, er um, umer. n'OK.
Nowicki has produced a facinating introduction / revision for biology from the atom to global ecosystems. The course is cleverly structured and is well suited to audio only format. Unfortunately Mr. 'one take' Nowicki's mouth works much faster than his brain so the narration crashes every few sentences. What ever you do don't start comparing the number of ers to the number of ums.

Very detailed but doesn't work as an audio book.
The lecturer is fine and the information is excellent. However, unless you are already a biology graduate and use this for nostalgia (as I have personally with physics courses), you will need to be making notes and using reference material. A lot of the content in the first half would only really be followable with diagrams etc in front of you. The last third of the lecture series is more straightforward and easy to follow. For some people this would be fine but for me it wasn't great in audio book format for what I wanted.

Great course from The Great Courses
As someone who didn’t take biology in high school I’m happy to have found a series of lectures that gets me up to speed on knowledge I’ve missed out on.
Only criticism is that the accompanying PDF should have more diagrams, especially in the sections that cover microbiology.

Charles Darwin's theory of organic evolution-the idea that life on earth is the product of purely natural causes, not the hand of God-set off shock waves that continue to reverberate through Western society, and especially the United States. What makes evolution such a profoundly provocative concept, so convincing to most scientists, yet so socially and politically divisive?

Understanding our humanity - the essence of who we are - is one of the deepest mysteries and biggest challenges in modern science. Why do we have bad moods? Why are we capable of having such strange dreams? How can metaphors in our language hold such sway on our actions? As we learn more about the mechanisms of human behavior through evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, and other related fields, we're discovering just how intriguing the human species is.

"It doesn't take an Einstein to understand modern physics," says Professor Wolfson at the outset of these 24 lectures on what may be the most important subjects in the universe: relativity and quantum physics. Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind them are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone. These dynamic and illuminating lectures begin with a brief overview of theories of physical reality starting with Aristotle and culminating in Newtonian or "classical" physics.

Iliad remains not only among the greatest adventure stories ever told but also one of the most compelling meditations on the human condition ever written.

Every day of your life is spent surrounded by mysteries that involve what appear to be rather ordinary human behaviors. What makes you happy? Where did your personality come from? Why do you have trouble controlling certain behaviors? Why do you behave differently as an adult than you did as an adolescent?Since the start of recorded history, and probably even before, people have been interested in answering questions about why we behave the way we do.
