Now digitally remastered, this 13-volume series attempts a massive survey of science, from flint tools to the theory of relativity. Made as a science counterpart to Civilisation and shot in 27 countries, Dr. Jacob Bronowski makes an unorthodox narrator, his non-scripted delivery ranging from hushed awe to trembling passion. He uses the crawling infant, the performing athlete, the development of the hunt and the discovery of fire to illustrate the most distinctive feature of man: imagination.
