My book Science Education in the Early Roman Empire is now available in audio format! As for all my other audiobooks, I voiced the text myself for Pitchstone Publishing. They invest a lot in making these audiobooks possible, paying for professional studio time and audio engineers, so I encourage everyone to support their continuing to do that for the secular community by buying Pitchstone audiobooks! You can buy the audio edition of Science Education now through Audible.com or Amazon.com and possibly iTunes.
For the visually impaired I have also created a file containing the footnotes and bibliography, to use with text-to-speech software, as I have done with most of my other books before this, all of which are now audiobooks as well. See bibliographies for the full list of these companion resources for those books, with links to the companion files for Science Education in the Early Roman Empire.
Hi Richard,
This post came just in time. I had a long drive ahead of me yesterday so I bought the audio book version, despite already having the hard copy. It was a great drive and I find this a very good book.
I’m looking forward to The Scientist in the Roman Empire. When can we expect that next instalment?
Sincerely,
Richard Martin
Sometime next year.
Any updates on The Scientist as an audiobook? I’m fiending for it.
Yes! I finished recording it last month. So it should be available on Audible in a month or two.
One other thing: Was the encyclios paidea taught in Greek?
Yes. There is no distinct evidence of it being taught in Latin. The information was available in Latin. But schools and teachers as far as I can tell expected students to study it in Greek. So, see the book’s index for “bilingualism” for what this meant in practice.
Awesome! I have been waiting for this. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your books. With such detailed material, I find it much easier to absorb with an audio book.
