Outstanding
This series is an invaluable tool in the World History classroom. Please consider offering it in DVD.

A fantastic series
I also agree that it's inexplicable why they've never offered this in DVD. I guess I should be glad I saw the original series. Excellent. CNN: Please offer on DVD!

Global History at its most thrilling, memorable and effective
This is a truly extraordinary feat - bringing to life and visualising key moments and developments in the past 1000 years from a truly global perspective - for once leaving behind the usual Euro- or Western-centred approaches so often dominating popular history. Zooming in and out on different parts of the globe at critical points of time is a device that works a treat. And, no doubt largely thanks to Prof. Fernando-Armesto's input, the treatment is autoritative too: the lively and entertaining presentation never once descends into oversimplification, and is never patronising. Just as enjoyable and effective for young teenagers (as I observed with my own eyes) as for students and all sorts of 'grown-ups'. I even made it a central part of a course on international affairs and 'Civilisation' I developed for a foreign government training programme. But WHY, WHY is there no DVD available? I cannot for the life of me understand this. CNN, or anyone out there who may grab the copyright: PLEASE get get moving on this!

When the DVD
It is the greatest series I have ever seen. Done on DVD is a must for everyone.

Best series yet, I hope another 1,000 years is made soon.
I am a football coach and not some profeesor, but a video series like this has never been made. Just turn on the VCR and learn why we live the way we do. This video set is by far the best and most enjoyable out there. The facts enlighten even the most naive viewer to the history of the world as it will be seen hundreds of years from now. People only understand the view of religion, culture, and history as that of there own country. This amazing set opens your eyes to facts your history teachers never understood, and does so with the use of great computer graphics to take you back to the age talked about. One can only wait for the wonders of knowledge CNN/TIME will offer in the future. I am waiting for the previous 40,000 years to be made.
