omnibozo22's review against another edition
2.0
The best aspect of this audiobook was hearing Edwin Newman's narration. Haven't heard his voice in decades. Unfortunately, a major downside was the decision to use readers with phony accents voice quotations from scientists from other cultures. Major mistake. The science history was breezy and superficial, but it did provide a clear sequence of discoveries and inventions that migrated around the world. If you've read any science history, skip this.
