Growing Up in the Universe, by Richard Dawkins
Growing Up in the Universe (2-DVD set)
Oxford professor Richard Dawkins presents a series of lectures on life, the universe, and our place in it.

Illuminating demonstrations, wildlife, virtual reality, and special guests (including Douglas Adams) all combine to make this collection a timeless classic.
The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures for Children 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 for the first time on DVD, courtesy of the Richard Dawkins Foundation.
