Marylee’s Reviews > The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt's New World > Status Update

OMG. This is very dense subject matter, and while the author has done her research and knows (and obviously cares for) her subject, I am unable to multitask while listening. I cannot do anything except listen to the book. If my mind wanders on a topic tangential to her text for even a moment, I’m lost and must replay the previous minutes. I’ve even slowed down the narration in order not to miss anything. Dang!!
