Publisher's Summary:

"The conscience is the result of suppressing instincts"...In his lecture, Dr. Ben Tolila analyzes the psychoanalytic philosophy of Sigmund Freud. This psychologist, who lived from 1856-1939, discovered that the main component of the human soul is the subconscious. It is important to mention that his teaching influenced and continues to influence, a large number of people and therapeutic methods of therapy.

Even if after his death, Freud became a controversial figure, it can be stated definitively that his unconventional ideas caused people to reassess their personalities.

Dr. Yossi Ben Tolila is a graduate of the Department of Jewish History in Bar Ilan University, who lectures in various social contexts about historical personalities. In the lectures he discusses the biographies of the people in light of their times; the circumstances that contributed to their appearance on the stage of history; their thought and activity; and the influence of all these on their generation and future generations. As we know, biographies are of assistance in the study of history, and shed light on the personal, social and political factors, that formed the basis of past events.

Title: Amy Johnson, 1903 - 1941: The Famous Women Series

Author: Alan Reid

Narrator: Valentine Palmer, Shirley Dixon, Carole Ann Ford

Format: Original Recording

Length: 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-30-08

Publisher: Ivan and Inge Berg

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Science & Technology Leaders

Publisher's Summary:

Amy Johnson's greatest achievement was her solo flight to Australia, made within a year of her obtaining a full pilot's licence. (At the time she was the only woman in the world to hold a full ground-engineer's licence.) In the remote jungles and islands of south-east Asia, her flying ability and engineering knowledge enabled her to complete the flight. Throughout her life she fought anti-feminine prejudice, becoming a major pioneer in aviation. Her tragic and mysterious early death in an air crash helped to turn her life into an aviation legend.

© and (P) 1976 Ivan and Inge Berg

Editorial Reviews:

This biography of record-breaking English aviatrix Amy Johnson combines real-life testimonials with innovative character acting. Johnson set numerous long-distance aviation records, among them her famous 1930 solo flight from England to Australia. Johnson is also remembered for her mysterious disappearance, her body never recovered after it was last seen floating from a parachute above the Thames on a stormy 1941 day. Here a multitude of prolific actors combine to voice the primary players in Johnsons brief, but accomplished career. Shirley Dixon (Wallace and Gromit, Inspector Morse) imbues Johnson with unflappable ambition and playful working-class wit, following the pilot from her humble beginnings as a typist through her pioneering womens rights advocacy. Impeccable English orator Valentine Palmer hosts the proceedings with finesse and fluidity.

Title: The Immortalists

Author: David M. Friedman

Narrator: Todd McLaren

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs

Language: English

Release date: 09-21-07

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Science & Technology Leaders

Publisher's Summary:

Lindbergh and Carrel met not long after Lindbergh's "victory lap" around the world, which followed his historic solo flight from New York to Paris in 1927. Fueled by their shared goal to find a scientific path to life without death, they spent five years in Carrel's laboratory at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York, where they secretly built a machine that could keep organs alive outside the bodies that created them. This device was the forerunner of today's artificial heart and heart-lung machine.

Although they obviously failed in their ultimate quest, Lindbergh and Carrel's experiments established them as two of the most ambitious thinkers in modern history, as well as unacknowledged pioneers of biotechnology.

Critic Reviews:

"Makes complex science accessible...an absorbing cautionary tale." (Publishers Weekly)

"A captivating study of medical innovation, the fallibility of science and two adventurous minds." (Kirkus Reviews)

Members Reviews:

Fascinating and sobering

A fascinating and cautionary tale of scientific and engineering hubris. I thought I knew about Lindbergh but was surprised and saddened by his anti-Semitism and belief in eugenics. I whiled away many long hours on planes with the well-written story. The reader captures the mood of the times and presents the narrative well. This is worth your time.

Surprisingly interesting and relevant

The remarkable stories of the two larger-than-life personalities that feature in this audiobook have a great deal to say to all thoughtful modern-day technoprogressives, transhumanists, futurists, and life-extensionists. Frequently surprising. Highly recommended.
