The Ascent of Man

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A personal view by J. Bronowskl in 13 programmes.
8: The Drive for Power
This programme is about the industrial and political revolutions of the 18th century which revised man's concept of power. The forces of nature were harnessed and the basis of political power was shifted.
Human inventiveness came to full flower and DR BRONOWSKI argues his case for believing that, in man's progress, the Industrial
Revolution was a step forward as significant as the Renaissance.
