Then, we learn that even though the universe we live in is getting older, that doesn't mean its glory days of galactic collision and black-hole formation are over. Also in this edition, we'll hear about the advent of considerate computers, the resurrection of a World War I-era killer flu virus, and the dangers of the self-esteem myth.

Short, but interesting

There's a lot of encounters packed into this audio book. Most of them are shorter than 8 minutes in length. The down side is that nothing is explained in massive detail, but the upshot is that you get the point and are able to cover more ground.

The reading wasn't too bad, and overall I enjoyed listening to it. I caught myself squirming in my seat a few times.

Don't waste your money

Could this concept have been really interesting if written by another author? Until that happens we won't know. Skip this one.

Title: Antarctica

Subtitle: An Intimate Portrait of the World's Most Myserious Continent

Author: Gabrielle Walker

Narrator: Bernadette Dunne

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-05-13

Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury

Genres: Science & Technology, Environment

Publisher's Summary:

Antarctica is the most alien place on the planet, the only part of the Earth where humans could never survive unaided. Out of our fascination with it have come many books, most of which focus on only one aspect of its unique strangeness. None has managed to capture the whole story - until now.

Drawing on her broad travels across the continent, in Antarctica Gabrielle Walker weaves all the significant threads of life on the vast ice sheet into an intricate tapestry, illuminating what it really feels like to be there and why it draws so many different kinds of people. With her we witness cutting-edge science experiments, visit the South Pole, lodge with American, Italian, and French researchers, drive snowdozers, drill ice cores, and listen for the message Antarctica is sending us about our future in an age of global warming.

This is a thrilling trip to the farthest reaches of Earth by one of the best science writers working today.

ice

great story a real eye opener,interesting story of the frozen south and all what happens there in a year,thank you.

it's a different world!

I couldn't stop listening, it was such an interesting read you just had to find out what amazing revelation was going to be offered next.

Entertaining and very informative

Why do some glaciers race while others crawl? Is the life inside stones? Were do you find most meteorites? And why do penguins take a new mate if their partner is just a day or two late? This books gives answers to questions you would probably not have come up with. Entertaining, informative, great popular science. I had so many "wow, I didn't know that"-moments. Warmly recommended.

Title: Encounter

Subtitle: The Black Bear and Man

Author: Carl Semencic

Narrator: Jon Goffena

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 30 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-09-13

Publisher: Digital Fabulists

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Environment

Publisher's Summary:

The American Black Bear is far from the docile, friendly creature often depicted in TV and movies. While it's able to live beside people when it's borders and boundaries are respected, events take a far different turn when those boundaries are crossed by bears - or man. In Encounter: The Black Bear and Man, naturalist, outdoorsman and hunter Carl Semencic, author of Gladiator Dogs, explores those encounters, the tragedies that result and how education and respect leads to better outcomes for everyone, bear and man alike.

Members Reviews:

The Definitive Black Bear Education

What other book might you compare Encounter to and why?

The book reminds me of Omnivores Dilemma where author Micheal Pollan joins other outdoorsmen.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The story of a father confronting a black bear attempting to drag his son down an embankment.

Any additional comments?

I learned from the book that most black bear attacks are triggered by dogs, and I have two of them. Thanks to Carl, I'll be prepared now.
