One of my favorite texts back in my college days was The Ascent of Man by Jacob Bronowski. USA folks may not be familiar with this. It was actually more of a polished transcript of his TV series, which had aired in the UK and some other countries (including Malta, where it was required reading for getting into college in fact). Leo Szilard is a familiar name from that text - he certainly gets plenty of airtime in there.

The Ascent of Man series was shown in the US on public television and I was a huge fan. I had forgotten that Szilard was featured in it. I'd really like to go back and re-watch that series.

I believe it's all on Youtube these days...
