'The Ascent of Man' Jacob Bronowski (1973) BBC 4-Disc DVD box set | 13 episodes (663 mins) | Includes 48-page illustrated booklet of viewing notes
The 13-part documentary series written and presented by Polish mathematician and historian of science, Jacob Bronowski, tracing the steps of scientific imagination through history as they happened, where they happened - from the evolution of humans from proto-ape 400,000 years ago, to the Industrial Revolution and the dark science of cloning.
Shot on 16mm film, the series received acclaim for Bronowski's highly informed but eloquently simple analysis, his long, elegant monologues and its extensive location shoots.
