Rough Science DVDs

Posted on 12. May, 2010 by Jenny in Articles, General

For one week only (the offer ends on May 14) we are offering the six Rough Science DVDs at a special price of just £12.99 each, a saving of around £5 per title on the normal price.

These programmes, made by the BBC in collaboration with the Open University between 2000-2005, were critically acclaimed when first shown on TV and are still regarded as classics of the present age. The series  features four or five scientists, all of whom are specialists in their own field. In each programme( four on the DVD of Rough Science 1, six on each of Rough Science 2-6) a scientist is given a task that they must complete using the natural resources of the surrounding area together with limited supplies.  The series features Kate Humble, Mike Bullivant, Kathy Sykes and a young geologist Iain Stewart.

The titles are strongly recommended to anyone interested in science at any level , combining expert information with first class entertainment.
