The Ascent of Man

on BBC Two England

A personal view by J. Bronowski
The Hidden Structure Fire and flame are the elements of magic and of science, as Dr Bronowski examines man's probing of the hidden structure below the visible world. The programme follows the beginnings of chemistry; from the techniques of ancient metallurgy, the casting of the great Shang bronzes of China and the ritual forging of the Samurai swords, to the mystical searchings of the alchemists.
