"...certainly one of the most useful works on the basilica...I'm impressed and delighted...It seems that one can never exhaust St. Peter's, and that is very evident in this guide."

"Lucid and lively. Hazen and Trefil have a particular genius for picturing even formidably abstract ideas in concrete images. . . . Science Matters is as good as they get"

“Good work. An unpretentious 4-CD set, which delivers a comprehensive overview of the fourteen-plus centuries of classical music. Well-written by freelance writer and film director Richard Fawkes, it's a true Beginner's Guide which nevertheless offers a welcome refresher course to old classical hands as well. Read with freshness [and] good will by the British actor Robert Powell and illustrated with 150 musical examples, it's perfect for the car, Walkman, or laptop. And -- like everything Naxos does -- the price is right.”
