Great book by two brilliant authors, now a spectacular to show on Amazon. A real delightful creation. Be advised.
Oh hell yes! I knew the show was coming but didn't realize it came out! One of my favorite books ever. Thanks for reminding me!
Try "The Ascent of Man" by Jacob Bronowski. The Ascent of Man is a 13-part British documentary television series produced by the BBC and Time-Life Films first broadcast in 1973; it was written and presented by British mathematician and historian of science Jacob Bronowski. It is also a book.
I hadn't realized it was a book, but the show looks good. Michael Sheen and David Tennant seem perfect for it.
