Join best-selling author Kenneth C. Davis on an entertaining trek across the globe as he answers some big questions about the world in the amusing style that has won millions of listeners. With fascinating anecdotes about the world’s most unusual places and notable quotes from world travelers throughout history, Davis leads you to the longest river, coldest desert, tallest waterfall, most powerful volcanic eruption and much more. Amazing stories make the “boring” facts of geography come to life as you hear about Marco Polo’s adventures in China and discover that people in Latin America speak Spanish and Portuguese–not Latin at all!

      These two nonfiction books provide entertaining and interesting explorations of natural science. Narrator Oliver Wyman, along with an ensemble cast of questioning youngsters, reads these books in a way that presents sometimes difficult material without talking down to readers. Don't Know Much About Space looks at the planets, the stars, and the history of astronomy. Don't Know Much About Planet Earth is an in-depth introduction to geography and cartography. Both of these are worthy programs for the 8 to 15-year-old crowd, whether as edifying distractions or as supplements to schoolwork. S.E.S. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
