The joy of science [videorecording] / by Hazen, Robert M.,1948-(CARDINAL)138121; Burgstaller, Andreas.(CARDINAL)849104; Teaching Company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Producer, Andreas Burgstaller ; editor, Sal Rodriguez ; content supervisor, Ann Waigand.Sixty lectures of thirty minutes each by Robert M. Hazen, Clarence Robinson Professor of Earth Science at George Mason University, and researcher at the Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.English novelist and scientist C. P. Snow classed certain scientific ideas with the works of Shakespeare as things every educated person should know. The lectures in this series explore the fundamental discoveries and principles of the physical and biological sciences--physics, genetics, biology, astronomy, chemistry, meteorology, thermodynamics, and more--providing a comprehensive and integrated introduction to all of science. The Joy of Science, through enhancing an understanding of the physical world, offers a source of endless wonder and intellectual joy.MPAA rating: Not rated.
