It was almost as if the professor was scrapping and scraping for lecture topics (eg. "arguments among friends"). Many sections were a tad dry. Two stars for entertainment value; four stars for typical TC academic excellence. ( ) The Teaching Company Audio CD`s as well as Modern Scholar series are highly reccomended learning tools - College level courses that you can learn from in your car. This is part of the mixed media I use in my pursuit of knowledge. I love music and on the weekends my car primarily blasts music from XM - but during the week , the 45 min - 1 hour a day I spend in the car going to and from work and misc errands , I have these Audio Books that I get from libraries. Sometimes I get lazy with reading the non-fiction I am trying to consume. These courses make it so I am always thinking , always stimulating my mind. As soon as I hop in the car in the AM , I`m forced to use that most important muscle. This is the glue to my self-education. no reviews | add a review
