<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2936188, member: 74968&quot;]Thanks for saying that. Yes, there are some &quot;stuffy&quot; academics. I certainly hope I am not one of them. In fact, I spend lots of time working on how to make my lectures interesting. I have even used my coins in lectures to illustrate certain points. </p><p><br /></p><p>Neil Degrasse Tyson is excellent. There are a couple of others who are notable. I would suggest watching the youtube videos of Mary Beard. She really brings history to life. I would also recommend Simon Schama&#039;s History of Britain. If you go back a few decades Joseph Campbell&#039;s &quot;the Power of Myth&quot; is fascinating. Just one spoiler about this, the journey of Luke Sywalker is the journey of the hero. Campbell wrote an entire book on hero mythology called &quot;The Hero with a Thousand Faces&quot;. Here is another clue to Campbell&#039;s influence. The shows aired on PBS for &quot;The Power of Myth&quot;. The interviews were filmed at George Lucas&#039; Skywalker ranch.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you find something interesting in these recommendations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
