This latest audiobook from John Brockman and edge.org presents an outstanding collection of essays and roundtable discussions of the state of the biological sciences and evolutionary theory today. This far- reaching but accessible material is presented by a scintillating trio of voices who will make listeners feel they're in the presence of the great minds of science themselves. The fast pace of the deliveries and the mixing of voices keep the wonder flowing as listeners segue from topic to topic. And when the narrators deliver the authors' disagreements and debates, common phenomena among cutting-edge scientists in the same or allied fields, the feeling is of authentic disagreement. The energy in the voices keeps the material animated and listeners engaged to the end. M.C. � AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
