Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this week’s distinguished lecture, documentary & interview symposium. James Burke is a British broadcaster, science historian, author, and television producer known for his Connections and The Day the Universe Changed documentary television series, which focused on the history of science & technology, leavened with a sense of humour. The various series traced paths of invention & discovery through their interrelationships in history, and explored the philosophical aspects of scientific change on Western culture. This week, for your delectation, here are links to those shows now available at YouTube.
