The complete 13 part series of Jacob Bronowski's wide-ranging account of the intellectual and technological history of the human race from prehistoric times to the present day. Designed to compliment Kenneth Clarke's earlier BBC documentary series 'Civilisation', Bronowski concentrates on the growing development of human science and technology, of the ways in which humanity seeks to harness and dominate its environment, and the ways in which scientific and intellectual theory across the ages, from Galileo to Einstein, have broadened our horizons.
