I truly love love David Haskell's latest song in the guise of a book. It is as melodious and poetic as the sounds of evolution at work must have been the way he describes it over millions and billions of years and reveals the creative poet-philosopher-scientist-sage that he is...

The narrator also made the work more accessible with his pleasant and easy-to-listen-to voice.

And I'm also so glad David Haskell chose to read the preface. It was magical to hear his voice after however many years since I last heard it... I hope to hear his voice again.

Having finished the Audible version, I will now probably need to read the digital version, time-willing... With Audible, you can do two things at the same time and I was listening to David Haskell's creation while cooking meals and walking the dog thus combining several of my favorite pastimes : )

One suggestion to make the listening experience even more seamless would be to include the examples of the many sounds David Haskell has collected and posted on his website at the appropriate points in the Audible version.

Full disclosure -- There are many in the Sewanee community who have been wonderful mentors to me during my four years growing up there back in the day.
And David Haskell was very important to me from the the get-go as a student advisor and to working with him as an intern writing code for computer simulations.
