Have you heard of Terence McKenna? A very eloquent ethnobotanist, public speaker and author. Has a lot to say about the universe, us and the symbiosis between the two. Very much recommended!

Looked for it on YouTube a couple of years back and was delighted to find the links. Then made a thread about it on gaming sites.
Relapse is obviously showing the cyclic nature of humanity. I had to do a search to see if I started a recommendation thread here, but I didnt. It did so on the Battletech forums instead.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514702/5403011.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514702/5403011.page GMT The Day the Universe Changed

To me, it's one of the best shows ever put on television anywhere. I was extremely, pleasantly surprised to find it on youtube and plan on sitting my kids in front of it and talking about it with them.
Horrible histories is another series that I got my kids into watching, and now they go around the house singing the Henry the 8th song.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514702/5404010.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514702/5404010.page GMT Re:The Day the Universe Changed

I assume you mean Wonders of [the universe/the soolar system/ life] with Brian Cox.
He's quite easy to follow, but doesn't explain much.
He does sell DVDs and books, though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514702/5414406.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514702/5414406.page GMT Re:The Day the Universe Changed

Brian Cox does some good stuff too, however even then its somewhat more simplified, though that isn't a bad thing. However even programs like The Day the universe Changed were far from unique in the 80's, whereas Brian Cox is a dim candle in a room stocked with mindless drivel which is the BBC broadcasting schedule.
However Cox while having an approachable face doesnt explain things half as well as his predecessors.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514702/5414439.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514702/5414439.page GMT
