Section 10 - good reading, only one minor thing - at 00:30 you do not need to repeat "chapter 10" twice. Please cut one of them out. The rest is good!
One wonders why some of these appliances did not live to our day... And even more wonderful is that all those modern appliances we are today feeling proud of as achievements of the modern science, are already in this chapter, in 1910! Of course, in a simpler or cruder form, but nevertheless!

Keep your mind here and now, where it belongs.

Section 8 has several things that need to be attended to:
long pauses at 1:21- 1:29; 6:02 - 6:07
repeat "at the north" around 5:34
repeat "the hanging gardens of Babylon are said..." around 6:51
During the whole recording the volume is very inconsistent, spiking at 3:08 and dropping at 4:08, to spike again at 4:28 and so on. After somewhere around 12:15 the volume gets constantly very low (too low for comfortable listening) and the overall sound quality deteriorates considerably. One can see it very well in the Audacity wave form - the actual spoken text is very low but there are a lot of loud spikes, hisses, plosives etc. Which is probably why the checker shows the overall volume as good.
And, finally, as this is not the last chapter of the book, no need to say "end of the Marvels of Modern Science" at the end.

I'll take it, if you don't mind. It would make a fun weekend project for me.

Thank you! MW updated.
Since 10 was an easy edit, and I haven't heard back from Nick, I have made the cut myself and reuploaded.
I haven't heard back from the reader for section 8 either. Looking at the recording, it does not seem to be salvagable, the differences in volume are too high, and there is a dreadful whine throughout. What do you think, Kiki?

I am afraid that it will be impossible to salvage the existing recording...
Sections 10 and 12 - PL OK now!
