Commentary/review
Three lectures by Alfred North Whitehead delivered at Princeton University in 1929. The audiobook production is provided with a synchronized ebook. The text is calmly, elegantly, expertly read by Albert A. Anderson.
The process of arriving at a discovery explained in the lectures reminds me of Cédric Villain describing how he earned his Fields Medal. The mind has to be ripe for creating knowledge and the process of making it ready for it is the deep, abstract speculation. The lectures are wonderfully reasoned and the entire electronic production is pure pleasure.
The cover is perfect, clear and tension-free. Nothing more is expected from that kind of audiobook+ebook.
