BIG HISTORY Highly recommended by Bill Gates

A recent article in The New York Times Magazine described Bill Gates’ experience with The Great Courses, specifically Big History: The Big Bang, Life on Earth, and the Rise of Humanity. “I just loved it," he said. "It was very clarifying for me. I thought, God, everybody should watch this thing!” After getting in touch with award-winning Professor David Christian — a pioneer of this ground-breaking academic discipline — Gates started down the path to bring Big History to schools across the country.
