I just looked up Rufus Fears. Which ones do you recommend most? I'm going on a long, cross country trip with the kids this summer, and listening to interesting CDs will sustain me.
Sometimes the kids get a great deal out of them too. I think they miss Greenberg this semester, since I'm not teaching anything interdisciplinary with music.
Let me know which are your favorites, and I'll check out the Teaching Company sales.
My favorite is the 12 lecture biography of Winston Churchill which I've listened to 3 times so far. Fears is a passionate admirer of Churchill and sees him as the archetype great man who changed history through his personal courage. The courses on Famous Romans and Famous Greeks are also excellent and highly recommended. His course on History of Freedom was also quite good although a bit of a survey course. I'd recommend them in that order. And if you took a chance on his newest course on great books I'm sure you wouldn't go wrong. In fact, I think I'll order it today.
BTW, Prof. Kenneth Harl of Tulane also has a great series of courses covering history going from Rome to the fall of Constantinople. Great stuff as well.
