4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Nov-06-2008; Demanding but essential viewing of European history through art; Kenneth Clark's Civilisation is important because without this format there would not have been Jacob Bronowski's The Ascent of Man, or any of David Attenboroughs nature programs or Carl Sagan's Cosmos. This is the brand that started...; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Apr-08-2008; It's best when it's witty.; "Civilisation" is the product of its era and its media, and is the perfect dissemination of BBC upper-middle class entertainment. The self-assured, oftentimes humorous Clark takes us on a televised tour of great works of European art,...; read full review | report as inappropriate
