James Burke (born 22 December 1936) is a British broadcaster, science historian, author, and television producer, who is known, among other things, for his documentary television series Connections (1978), and for its more philosophically oriented companion series, The Day the Universe Changed (1985), which is about the history of science and technology. The Washington Post called him "one of the most intriguing minds in the Western world".
James Burke was born in Derry, Northern Ireland, and was educated at Maidstone Grammar School, and at Jesus College, Oxford, where he earned an M.A. degree in Middle English. Upon graduation he moved to Italy, where at the British School in Bologna he was lecturer in English and director of studies, 1961–63. He also lectured at the University of Urbino. Thereafter he was head of school at the English School in Rome, 1963–65. He was also involved in the creation of an English–Italian dictionary, and the publication of an art encyclopedia.

James Burke`s forgotten series: This TV series was the program that got me interested in philosophy and science at a very early age. I own James Burke a debt indeed for this. This collection of programs still has great resonance today regarding the questions that are again very popular today. What is reality? What do any of us really have in common with others in order to be sure that `the real thing` is indeed real? The recording is not great but it is watchable, although the sound may need to be turned up in order to comfortably hear. Enjoy!
The Neuron Suite - A James Burke Special 1982
The extraordinary special effects we enjoy in films today are based on principles established more than 500 years ago by Renaissance masters such as Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, and Raphael. This film examines artistic and scientific discoveries of the Renaissance, provides new insight into a remarkable visual revolution, and uses modern technology to analyse the old masters in amazing new ways. This documentary hosted by James Burke is a fascinating examination of the concept of how we see things, specifically how images that appear to our eyes to be three-dimensional are rendered convincingly on flat surfaces. Starting out in a movie studio special effects lab, Burke explains how visual illusions practiced today actually began during the Renaissance, when p...
I'm not making this a regular thing... Even thought it seems like I am... haha, just another bunch of hand made tags to go out with my most recent shipment of books :) I've taken all of your comments into consideration, but this video is sped up (otherwise it would have been hours long or in 12 parts...) I hope you're OK with the voiceover, still learning a lot about my video making process, which things work for me and which don't. This is simply a video showing my creative process, I know some people are eager to learn so I have tried to talk about a lot of the products I use and why, but please remember this is not a tutorial- those will come in the future :) (^_^) James ETSY: https://www.etsy.com/shop/JLBCreativeCo INSTAGRAM: @jameslukeburkecreative FACEBOOK: https://www.face...
December 15th 2016 / Official Press Conference Footage: Long Island Escort Claims Disgraced Ex-Police Chief James Burke Is Connected To The Giglo Beach Unsolved Murders Case: OAK BEACH, N.Y. — Suffolk County's disgraced former Police Chief James Burke, long suspected of keeping the FBI in the dark about the Gilgo Beach murders, faces a new accusation from a sex worker who says there's a link between him and the killings, an attorney for one of the slain victims said Thursday. It’s been six years since the bodies of more than a dozen women -- all sex workers -- one man and one toddler were first found, but there's still no suspect and no one in custody. Now, the attorney for the family of one victim, Shannan Gilbert, says there’s a connection among Burke, prostitutes and Gilgo Beach. “Th...

This week on New Mexico in Focus, correspondent Gwyneth Doland spends some time talking with James Burke, British broadcaster, science historian, author and television producer renowned for his PBS series "Connections" and "The Day the Universe Changed." Burke was giving a lecture at UNM this fall, exploring the intriguing possibility that the future is no longer what it used to be, and he spoke with Doland about the challenges the future holds.
James Burke is probably the greatest historian who´s ever lived... so far.
This short clip comprises the main point of James Burke's excellent series- the day the universe changed. Against a backdrop of a buddhist monastary, high in the himalayas, James Burke envisions a utopic future. Stopping just short of presaging the singularity, communities like digg and /. are quite obviously foretold. I'm quite surprised that this hasn't been heavily sampled for electronic music.

Burke predicted back in 1978 that we’d one day need better tools than just search alone if we were to avoid the pitfalls of siloed information and confirmation bias, and this month he launched a Kickstarter campaign to help create just such a tool - an app that searches connectivity and produces something Google and...

Dan has another visit with the always fascinating science historian and TV host James Burke. He also catches up a bit on early Trump cabinet picks and the Dakota pipeline protests. ---- SUBCRIBE - https://goo.gl/bNMlvX Dan Carlin's Hardcore History https://youtu.be/3bdyPlcv2JA Common Sense with Dan Carlin Show https://youtu.be/imOk3VMf3A8 Common Sense with Dan Carlin is an independent look at politics and current events from popular New Media personality Dan Carlin. Carlin's self-described "Martian" viewpoints infuse each episode with a political alien's take on the world around us and the problems it faces. It's a smart, unique (and admittedly U.S.-centric) program that doesn't dumb down the information or analysis for the slowest person in the room. Carlin's rapid-fire staccato voice ...

Historian Edward E. Baptist visited Google's Cambridge, MA office to discuss his book, "The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism". As he shows in the book, slavery and its expansion were central to the evolution and modernization of our nation in the 18th and 19th centuries, catapulting the US into a modern, industrial and capitalist economy. In the span of a single lifetime, the South grew from a narrow coastal strip of worn-out tobacco plantations to a sub-continental cotton empire. By 1861 it had five times as many slaves as it had during the Revolution, and was producing two billion pounds of cotton a year. It was through slavery and slavery alone that the United States achieved a virtual monopoly on the production of cotton, the key raw material of t...
