This audiobook consists of 206 short essays by just as many authors on important but neglected scientific ideas: memes such as Navier-Stokes equations, confirmation bias, surreal numbers, and so many more, covering a great variety of thinkers from antiquity to the Middle Ages and to modern times. Charles Constant presents those from the male contributors, and Cassandra Campbell those from the female contributors. Both are skilled narrators with friendly intonation and accurate pronunciation—essential to a work such as this. If you think you know everything, be forewarned—you’ll find many little- known but useful ideas in this audiobook. Brockman is the editor and publisher of Edge.org.
