BBC The Ascent of Man 07of13 The Majestic Clockwork x264 AAC [MVGroup]

Information
This 13 volume series attempts a massive survey of science, from flint tools to the theory of relativity. The series, a co-production of the BBC and Time-Life Films was made as a science counterpart to Kenneth Clark's "Civilisation". It is given superb technical support, with two crews using innovative filming techniques, shooting in 27 countries. Dr. Jacob Bronowski makes for an unorthodox narrator, his non-scripted delivery ranging from hushed awe to trembling passion. He uses the crawling infant, the performing athlete, the development of the hunt and the discovery of fire to illustrate the most distinctive feature of man: imagination. His Scientific-Humanism is often spectacular, always provocative. The DVDs extra is a recent interview with Sir David Attenborough who recalls the making of "The Ascent of Man" series.

Release Notes
Thanks to H2O for the episode cover photos and info!

Also, BIG thanks to the sub makers.

This release is a big improvement over ebwoy's AVI version. That said, the source is old, noisy and grainy, so don't expect miracles

Happy 2012 to my fellow MVGers! :yahoo:
