SCIENTIST E.O. Wilson: A Life in Nature

Narrator Lincoln Hoppe is in stellar company here. Biographer Richard Rhodes and his subject, naturalist E.O. Wilson, can both take credit for a long shelf of fine audiobooks ranging in subject from the sociobiology of ants to the making of the atomic bomb. Wilson is one of the towering thinkers of our time, and Rhodes is unsurpassed in his ability to convey complicated technical processes--and their inherent drama--in narrative the listener can easily comprehend. They are served well by Hoppe, a narrator whose fine pacing and flawless delivery convey in every phrase the clarity and restraint of plain, immaculate prose. D.A.W.
