THE GREAT COURSES:
Once a month I eagerly wait for the catalogue of the great courses. When I open
the thick, slick magazine advertising these amazing courses I am never disappointed.
Immediately I notice I can save 70% on 110 courses offered --- from “The Search
for Exoplanets: What Astronomers Know,” to “Critical Business Skills for Success.”
My half-hour commute to and from work turns into an educational adventure,
listening to renowned award-winning professors lecture about science, history and
math.
The following is a sample of some of the GREAT COUSES offered in the latest
catalog:

