About this listen
Our world is ruled by chemistry. It is the study of matter and energy at the scale of atoms and molecules. As the most all-embracing discipline there is, it should be at the top of everyone’s list of must-learn subjects.
Chemistry and Our Universe: How It All Works is your in-depth introduction to this vital field, taught through 60 engaging half-hour lectures that are suitable for any background or none at all. Covering a year’s worth of introductory general chemistry at the college level, plus intriguing topics that are rarely discussed in the classroom, this amazingly comprehensive course requires nothing more advanced than high-school math. Your guide is Professor Ron B. Davis, Jr., a research chemist and award-winning teacher at Georgetown University.
With passion and humor, Professor Davis guides you through the fascinating world of atoms, molecules, and their remarkable interactions, showing you how to think, analyze problems, and predict outcomes like a true expert in the field.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Not really suitable as audio-only lectures.
Lectures were designed for video, making many parts hard to follow, especially when solving formulas.

Consider the value!
This course was made as a video lecture, as were other Great Courses, but in this case there was no consideration given to the audio only version. It was hugely annoying to regularly hear "..so this interacts with that to produce this here..." having no idea what this or that is. The Don Lincoln lectures have a narative and supporting pdf that makes them great for audio only. Chemistry doesn't!
However the material is excellent and the presentation is good so, if you only pay 1 audible credit for this course, you are still getting good value, even though you won't be able to understand the whole course. Wikipedia helps fill in the gaps.

More like a filmed lecture than an audio book
This was irritating and frustrating as it was obviously taken from a filmed series of lectures and not made as an audiobook. Experiments were not described but we are told to see what is happening. I gave up.

Dissapointed customer
This is the second time I bought an audio of the great courses that was recorded as a video. It just does not work and we obviously miss out on the visuals. Secondly I don’t think we should be paying full price when we’re not getting the full experience. It would be even better if TGC should make the video content available to us. But in the meantime I will be returning this one too.

Clearly the audio from a TV series
This a real shame, I love audiobooks about science however I struggled to keep listening to this one. The narrator often refers to diagrams or graphs that we obviously can’t see.
I feel cheated and will be looking much closer to the descriptions and ratings/reviews of books in the future.

Not really an audio book
This is a recorded series of visual lectures; it relies a lot on experiments and mathematical demonstrations you can’t see and can’t follow just on audio.
