A new addition to our popular and still growing collection: Intelligent Video: The Top Cultural & Educational Video Sites … (The list now has close to 50 intelligent video sites.)

Big Ideas, a program that comes out of Canada, features a “variety of thought-provoking topics which range across politics, culture, economics, art history, science…. The program has introduced Ontario viewers to the impressive brainpower of people like Niall Ferguson on American empire, Daniel Libeskind on architecture, George Steiner on the demise of literacy, Camille Paglia on aesthetic education, and Noam Chomsky on U.S. politics.” You will also find talks here by Umberto Eco, Margaret Atwood, Richard Florida, Steven Pinker, Lewis Lapham. See the full list of videos here.
