Hero With a Thousand Faces
Author: Joseph Campbell, Reader: Ralph Blum

Despite their infinite variety, the myths of the world offer only a limited number of responses to the riddle of life. In this bestselling audio, Campbell presents the composite hero. He begins his interpretation of timeless symbols by examining their relationship to those rediscovered in dreams by depth psychology. The psychological view is then compared with the words of such spiritual leaders as Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Lao-tse, and the "Old Men" of the Australian tribes. From behind a thousand faces, the single hero emerges, archetype of all myth.

Religion and Science
Author: Bertrand Russell, Reader: David Case

This popular challenge to religious dogma ranges from demonology to quantum physics. Yet science, he concedes, can't touch the real feelings of personal religious experience. Profound insights from a Nobel Prize-winning philosopher. "Thought-provoking study...
