Listeners to this audiobook can share the delight of the live audience as John Julius entertains us with a compilation of anecdote, prose, poetry and even song that is as charmingly conceived as it is delightfully performed. The Venice in Peril Fund was created after the great flood of 1966. Since then, the Fund has disbursed millions of pounds for the restoration of Venetian monuments, buildings and works of art.

Green at the 92nd Street Y Author: Peter H.R. Green Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 12-08-06 Publisher: 92nd Street Y Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 49 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Interviews & Panels Publisher's Summary: Peter H.R. Green, MD, is the director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University, a professor of clinical medicine at Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons, and the author of Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic. Editorial Reviews: "A hidden epidemic" is what expert Peter H. R. Green, M.D., calls Celiac Disease, an auto-immune condition that inappropriately attacks the protein component called "gluten" that people eat in products containing wheat and other grains. The inflammatory condition, explains Dr. Green, begins in the intestines and can adversely affect every system. Whats worse? One percent of the population has it, 97% of those are undiagnosed, and most doctors are completely unaware of the diseases pathogenesis because medical textbooks are out of date! Thankfully, Dr. Green leavens this heavy subject with a nice Australian accent and some genial humor.

Title: Malcolm Gladwell with Robert Krulwich at the 92nd Street Y Author: Malcolm Gladwell, Robert Krulwich Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 09-15-05 Publisher: 92nd Street Y Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 179 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Interviews & Panels Publisher's Summary: This event took place on April 21, 2005. Editorial Reviews: Now an acclaimed author and journalist, Malcolm Gladwells ascent was long and tortuous , much like the subject matter of his groundbreaking works, which mine the psychological depths of success and failure as they relate to both individuals and organizations. Here, the strikingly original Gladwell is paired with an equally inventive interviewer, NPR journalist Robert Krulwich. The two discuss Blinks resounding success, with Gladwell elaborating on his notion of "thin-slicing" - the tendency of humans to make spontaneous decisions based on their own narrow, subjective body of experience. Acerbic and amiable, Gladwell proves his points with examples from such far flung fields as science, sales, medicine, and pop culture. Krulwichs own capacity for thin-slicing is impressive, as he plays a droll devils advocate to Gladwells ganderings.
