Title: Before the Swarm

Author: Nicholas Griffin

Format: Unabridged

Publisher's Summary:

Intrepid naturalist Mark Moffett is tracking an ant species on a march toward bug-world domination. What a controversial theory of insect society may tell us about our own.

Mark Moffett doesn't just study ants, he travels among them. Moffet holds a Harvard Ph.D. in entomology and is an accomplished scientist, an award-winning author and journalist, and one of the best nature photographers of his generation. Years ago, this free-spirited naturalist left academia behind to plunge into the deepest jungles and observe insect societies up close. Now author Nicholas Griffin takes us inside Moffett's own world, to explore his death-cheating quest for discovery and his end-run around the scientific establishment. We'll follow Moffett into the rainforest as he chases a groundbreaking theory of ant superorganisms and supercolonies, one that may help us understand our own increasingly urbanized society. Along the way we'll meet a fascinating cast of battling army ants, farming leafcutter ants, and the insatiable Argentines: an ant species built to take over the world.

Nicholas Griffin is the author of four novels and one work of nonfiction. He lives in New York City. His next book comes out in 2013.

The power of Insight

Following a 52 year old, bearded, "world leading" entomologist fascinated with crickets and ants, in a Honduras jungle is an adventure extraordinaire. But why Mark Moffett left his office in Greenport Long Island,- where he has "a single tweed jacket and a bow tie with pattern of orange butterflies" - to face mosquito bites the size of a grape to study bullet ants in humid hot jungle? Maybe because he has a heavy Canon 5D Mark II camera and he is one of the best photographers in "National Geographic"?

It takes an insightful writer to capture this essence, Nicholas Griffin stays in the background and extracts the juice.

Officially Moffett is after evidence that "ants form superorganisms -colonies that effectively function as a single body." But in reality, "Ants are melodrama. You can take a box of dirt with a colony in it and stare for two weeks, until you know the ins and out of their society"

"The fact that ant society is generally dictated by hierarchy and specialization" comments Griffin, "makes it more attractive toa man who can't seem to stand either one"

Moffett, an iconoclast is a media star figure, enraging the Academia. The Universities , says Moffett, (including Harvard, who doesn't pay him a cent anymore) are "filled with nervous people". Yet he is a living proof of Charles Darwin saying that "general and popular Treatises are almost as important for the progress of science as original work".

Moffett has never taken a class in entomology. He had a lifetime problem with authority "I don't like exams. I don't like giving exams. I don't like meetings."

I recently wrote about the mathematics of miracles The story of that Mr. Griffin tells us is a history of miracles. Extraordinary miracles wake us up to the fact that all of life, down to the minute details, is one big miracle.

For the author

To Nicholas Griffin:

As a Literary Journalism major at the University of California, Irvine I've read and critiqued a lot of articles, books, and short pieces through the past four years.

Title: Dewey: Bolinda Beginner Guides

Author: David Hildebrand

Narrator: Christine Williams

Format: Abridged

Length: 7 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-04-12

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Science & Technology Leaders

Publisher's Summary:

An informed biography on a leading intellectual and educational pioneer of the early 20th century. An icon of philosophy and psychology during the first half of the 20th century, Dewey is known as the father of functional psychology and a pivotal figure of the pragmatist movement, as well as the progressive movement in education. This concise and critical look at Dewey's work examines his unique take on art and religion, his naturalistic approach to science and psychology, and his contribution to political thought.

The author of over 40 books across a range of topics, Deweys legacy remains not only through the works he left us, but also through the institutions he founded, which include The New School for Social Research in New York City and the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools. Hildebrand's biography brilliantly interweaves the different strands of Dewey's thought, and examines the legacy he left behind.

Editorial Reviews:

Few have done as much work across as many disciplines in America as the philosopher and psychologist John Dewey. Throughout his long life, Dewey was a pioneer in the world of psychology, education, philosophy, and sociology. With this accessible audiobook, Professor David Hildebrand takes a unique look at one of the 20th centurys leading intellectuals. Performed with an engaging delivery from veteran narrator Christine Williams, this biography examines in detail Deweys take on everything from art and religion to his work on functional psychology.

Title: Steve Jobs: A Day in His Life in the 1970s & His Wisdom

Author: Deaver Brown

Narrator: Deaver Brown

Format: Unabridged

Length: 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-27-11

Publisher: Simply Media

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Science & Technology Leaders

Publisher's Summary:

Steve Jobs visited the author in the 1970s to find out what it was like to be an entrepreneur. It was still a pre-tech age with computer companies being like other corporations of the era, complete with suits and ties. Steve was the new wave; he sought out the author because his company was different than the old line companies but not what Steve imagined. The conversations were scintillating and imaginative. The author acts the role of Boswell with Dr. Johnson, Steve Jobs. The author also lists the 14 rules of Steve Jobs. As the author says, this is a Sherwood Anderson, Winesburg, Ohio moment, never to be repeated.
