A massive survey of science from flint tools to the theory of relativity. It was made as a science counterpart to Sir Kenneth Clark's series Civilisation, with Jacob Bronowski presenting his own view of science and mankind.

Investigates what would happen if every single person on Earth simply disappeared. The Earth would be a world where city streets would still be populated by cars, but without drivers. Nobody to fix bridges, repair buildings, or maintain power facilities. After being controlled by humanity for millennia, the Earth would be reclaimed by nature.

From these accounts of people living close to the land and close to the edge emerge a larger story about sustainability...

All people are equal but, as Human Diversity explores, all groups of people are not the same -- a fascinating investigation of the genetics and neuroscience of human differences. The thesis of Human Diversity is that advances in genetics and neuroscience are overthrowing an intellectual orthodoxy that has ruled the social sciences for decades. The core of the orthodoxy consists of three dogmas: gender is a social construct, race is a social construct,...

Earth is full of suffering and war until one little girl seeks Old Turtle, who tells her about a "broken truth" and how mending it will help her community to understand the common bond of all humanity.

We are often made to feel that the physical world has little or no impact on our inner joy. Increasingly,...

Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus continue to lead the revolt against the Machine Army. In their quest to save the human race from extinction, they gain greater insight into the construction of The Matrix and Neo's pivotal role in the fate of mankind.
