Who thought what and when?

I actually have the six DVD set. The DVDs give you something to focus on while absorbing the lectures. Unfortunately, they do not come with subtitles. There are, however, a few intertitle cards and charts that are strategically dispersed throughout the lectures. The title well describes what you are about to receive, as a history of scientific ideas is mostly in chronological order. You may know most of the people in history, but there will be quite a few that you have not heard of. Even though many of the earlier writers may have missed the mark of today’s knowledge, I am still collecting their books to read instead of just taking this fast-paced lecture at face value. This series will require you to go back over and over to obtain what you may have missed or overlooked. You will also have a different view when re-watching. I even find just going over the last lecturer again before moving forward. Professor Steven L. Goldman sometimes goes off into left field before remembering what he is supposed to be lecturing on. Many times, he repeats himself, but that can help.
