Members Reviews:

Very pleasant

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would have loved to listen to this in one sitting. Not always possible with small children, but it is nice to listen to in the garden on a summer's day or in the park.

Any additional comments?

A lovely gentle recording and quite relaxing.

Lovely programme

Series of programmes about garden birds. Fantastic, I highly recommend it for anyone interested in the birds in their garden.

excellent guide for beginners and refreshers.

easy to listen to in car or in one go. clear and memorable. also repeats birds heard in earlier parts.

Great introduction to UK garden bird song

If you could sum up A Guide to British Garden Birds in three words, what would they be?

Informative, entertaining, relaxing

Any additional comments?

A casual introduction to common garden bird calls. Full of interesting facts and doesn't take itself to seriously. Sadly only an hour long!

Editorial Reviews:

Who hasn't told a tall tale? Pulled a leg or even the wool? Yanked a chain? Blown smoke? "Natural Born Liars," the cover article of this special edition of Scientific American, examines why we lie and why we are so good at it. Other articles in this issue look at innocent people who confess to crimes, dreams, hypnosis, and the correlation between stress and heart attacks. The narrator employs an intellectual, but comfortable, tone. His enunciation is impeccable. You don't need to be a scientist to love this series of audio magazines; the articles are fascinating and digestible enough for any curious listener. And that's no lie!

Members Reviews:

Disturbing Feature Article

Scientific America Mind is always a good magazine.

The feature article, argues that humans lie all the time, at all different levels, that we're wired to lie, and that it's advantageous to lie. The core argument would seem to be that lying bridges the gap between societies needs and individual needs, which are assumed to be fundamentally in conflict. There would seem to be some scientific support for this idea among other primates.

The whole thing feels very Maoist.

I suspect that there are environments and cultures where this is truer than in others. I suspect that the more oppressive an environment, be it a bad employer or a totalitarian government, the more lying is necessary, adaptive, and even a sign of political intelligence. But I also suspect that the less oppressive an environment the more being able to tell the truth is necessary, adaptive, and a sign of emotional intelligence. Current scientific thought, perhaps as a reflection of current American culture, seems to have swung in the direction of "Lying is good".

Excellent!

Fascinating!

Good listen, good price

The narrator was good and the special price made the months articles a good deal and a good listen. Very interesting stuff. I may try a few more one packages.

Blocking gut reactions could help defend against heart disease.
