Thanks for this Chris. I've just watched 30 minutes of the second video - pure joy. Apparently, the first one isn't available to Canadian viewers, so I wasn't able to check that one out.

Sorry you can't watch that video, LevV. I'm curious why they would block that video to Canadian viewers. But there are enough other great interviews to enjoy. Tyson is sure a master communicator.

Okay Chris, I have watched the first, and part of the second interviews with Dr. Tyson. I have also purchased the book and read the first two chapters, and obviously, the Preface. My point (other than reaffirming my admiration for him) is that if you still need a discussion leader, I will gladly volunteer for the position.

And there was. And I saw that it was good.

I've just received my copy from Amazon and delighted to see it's a hardback and its not thick! I'm not good with audio or videos as, unless it's trad jazz, I fall asleep. X. When can we start?

You can start now. ;-)

You're in the forum and you can start making posts after reading each chapter if you like.
