Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Harmsworth Popular Science was a fortnightly (14 days) series of magazine publications forming an encyclopaedic series of science and technology articles published in the early years of the 20th century, and completed about 1913.
It was humanist and modernist in tone, and supported the then-fashionable ideas of eugenics and free market economics. Britain (especially Birmingham) was then considered by the British people to be "the workshop of the world" and the magazine duly celebrated British technical and cultural innovation from Charles Darwin to Guglielmo Marconi.
