Professor Eric Laithwaite presents his second televised series of CHRISTMAS LECTURES exploring the world of engineering. A sequel to his 1966 series, 'The Engineer in Wonderland', Laithwaite was the first person to present two series of Lectures on national television. His five lectures explore the varied work of engineers across gravitation, inertia and electromagnetism, including the controversial fourth lecture where Laithwaite used the behavioural gyroscopes in an attempt to challenge the validity of Newton’s Laws of motion and the laws of thermodynamics.
