The Fragile Species

Imagine a witty, distinguished writer with as much common sense and warmth as scientific knowledge. Whether the topic is AIDS research, global warming or the amorous ways of crickets, George Guidall consistently sounds the part in these diverse, progressive essays. His affable voice reveals the hope, apprehension and passion behind Thomas's ideas. Guidall's ability to present each opinion as his own, combined with his well-seasoned, mature timbre, make him an extremely plausible and appropriate stand-in for Dr. Thomas. Guidall conveys the humor and enhances the accessibility of the book with his comfortable, personal delivery. D.J. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
