James Burkes's Connections

That is an excellent series. I can't recommend it highly enough. The same goes for the book which I've read at least three times. The way he distilled all of human rational thinking down into 7 or 8 "moments" when the way we think about the world changed forever is brilliant.
The particular brilliance is in the way it's totally compatible with the Connections theme, which is a web not a line. Apart from one particularly cool teacher, James Burke has had the most influence on my way of understanding history.
