Description

Preview of the excellent series "Growing Up in the Universe" by Richard Dawkins, and a reading from the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. I highly recommend the full series which is available here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLED4BA3683D0273ED&feature=plcp Oxford professor Richard Dawkins presents a series of lectures on life, the universe, and our place in it. With brilliance and clarity, Dawkins unravels an educational gem that will mesmerize young and old alike. Illuminating demonstrations, wildlife, virtual reality, and special guests all combine to make this collection a timeless classic. The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures were founded by Michael Faraday in 1825, with himself as the inaugural lecturer. The 1991 lecturer was Richard Dawkins whose five one-hour lectures, originally televised by the BBC, are now available free online, courtesy of The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science.
