DVD Description

Oxford professor Richard Dawkins presents a series of lectures on life, the universe, and our place in it. With brilliance and clarity, Dawkins unravels an educational gem that will mesmerize young and old alike. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for kids, 14 Mar 2008

By	Mr. Pg Morgan "urbanmutant" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What's interesting about this DVD the lack of flashy graphics and 3D animations that would be included had this been filmed today. Richard Dawkins explains the theory of evolution and makes it wondrous for children (and adults) by talking to the children in the audience with just the aid of a few basic props.

My daughter found it fascinating and it just goes to show that kids do not have the limited attention span that adults always imagine.

Excellent stuff.
