My take on the Great Courses:
Once a month I eagerly wait for the catalogue of the great courses. When I open the thick, slick magazine
advertising these amazing courses I am never disappointed.
Immediately, I notice I can save 70% on 110 courses offered that range from “The Search for Exoplanets: What
Astronomers Know” to “Critical Business Skills for Success.”
By taking advantage of these great offers, my half-hour commute to and from work turns into an educational
adventure, listening to CDs of renowned and award-winning professors lecture about science, history, religion,
philosophy, music, and math.
The following is a sample of some of the great courses offered in the latest catalog:
• Darwin and
Unnatural Selection: The Coming Extinction of Book Shelves
The Growing Threat of Capitalism When It Becomes Capitalized
Four Laws of Thurman’s Dynamics
Integrating Mind, Body, and Shoes
The Everyday Guide to Whining: A Tour Through the Valley of the Naps
Understanding the Relations and Implications between the Nose and Bisexuality
Understanding the Implications of the Higgs-Bosom Discovery for the Modern Marriage
The Art of Persuasion: Half-Truths and Whole-Lies
Understanding Why Small People Have Deep Roots: A Short Introduction to Genealogy
Sex, the Big Bang, and Arguing
A Biopsychosocial Approach to Understanding How and When to Tell a Highway it is Adopted.
