Editor reviews

iMinds has helpfully divided its audio encyclopedia into broad categories like Arts, History, Pop Culture, etc., so listeners know how the content of each eight-minute learning segment will be oriented. In this volume of Specialist, the learning company has selected topics that fall under the topical umbrella of Science & Nature. The entrancing male and female narrators on these tracks explore such celestial phenomena as meteorites and the Aurora Borealis, as well as more Earth-bound topics such as evolution and wind power. Each listener-friendly segment is brief (around eight minutes), potent, and penetrating due to the iMinds company's unbeatable formula of careful research and superb production value.

Critic reviews

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)

Good basic outline of various things…

Decent, quick outlines of various unrelated items. If you’re looking for in depth info, you need to get something else.
