you How to Read a Book with
A Treasure Found, Restored, and Now Available Three years after writing the wonderfully expanded
third edition of How to Read a Book, Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren did a series
of thirteen 14-minute videos about the very essence of the book. The videos
were produced and published by Encyclopaedia Britannica. For unknown reasons
sometime after their original publication, these videos have been lost all
these years.
What does the
DVD contain? The DVD includes all thirteen 14-minute programs for
a total of three hours of video. Each section includes Mortimer Adler and Charles
Van Doren in a lively, candid discussion of the art of reading and why it is
so important and demonstrating its use in their own reading. Why
you should see this video if you have read the book. If you have already read How to Read a Book, you will;
1. Find the videos an excellent review and a reminder
of the advanced reading skills. 2. See a superb demonstration of reading skills in
action that will inspire you to put them to use in your own reading. Why
you should see the videos if you have not read the book. If you have not yet read How to Read a Book, you will;
1. Get an introduction to reading skills that make so
much sense you will wonder why you never learned them in school. 2. View the advantages these reading skills create in
their users that will inspire you to buy and read the book and begin to put
the skills to use in your own reading. The
