The companion to a BBC television series probing the origins of Western attitudes and institutions focuses on eight periods in history when a change in knowledge dramatically altered human understanding of ourselves and the world around.
James Burke did some pretty amazing television series back in his day. Starting with Connections in the late 70's and repeating his feat with The Day the Universe Changed. The unabridged book is much better, but this still is very helpful in getting his points across. Definately a good listen, 4 stars.
