Soporific dullness is in the ear of the listener, and what's tedium incarnate to one person will be another person's passion and delight. However, it is hoped that at least one from the range of topics here presented will lull the busy mind to a state of sweet sleep.

Introduction by Cori Samuel. (16 hr 2 min)

Critiques

Great Compilation- Very Effective!


(5 stars)

This brilliantly curated collection does the stuff. Between chronic pain and hot flashes, sleep is a much coveted commodity in my life. I’ve tried pills, herbal teas, hot milk, meditation, you name it. But “University Ideals, Past and Present” sends me right off. It’s better than a white noise machine. I collect parasols, so I was afraid the history of umbrellas might be too interesting to me to work, but no fear! Out like a light! Check out “volumes” 1 and 3, they’ve got other great stuff. “The First Thousand Digits of Pi”? Magic!

worked for me too!


(4.5 stars)

the one about umbrellas and another about currents did the trick. even better , I had some really cool half- waking dreams listening to the the one about currents

My favorite is The Rules for Dueling


(5 stars)

dueling was a common practice to settle disputes in the U.S. from the 1770's to the mid-1800's. in fact Alexander Hamilton died in a duel against Aaron Burr

Lulls me to sleep.

Good book, however, better with one reader.
