More free stuff. (I'd like to think that some of the sites / materials suggested here might be of some use in FE. This one's probably stretching the elastic naivety (nativity, anyone?) to breaking point). Anyway...
The Western Tradition is a video instructional series on Western civilization for college and high school classrooms and adult learners; 52 half-hour video programs.
Covering the ancient world through the age of technology, this illustrated lecture by Eugen Weber presents a tapestry of political and social events woven with many strands — religion, industry, agriculture, demography, government, economics, and art. A visual feast of over 2,700 images from the Metropolitan Museum of Art portrays key events that shaped the development of Western thought, culture, and tradition. This series is also valuable for teachers seeking to review the subject matter.
It's nearly 20 years old now but still good stuff. Now, a bottle of 20-year-old, that's the real good stuff!
