How does it compare with the series? I'm not familiar with either, and curious whether one is clearly preferable to the other as an introduction to the ideas both appear to cover.
Sadly I wouldn't know - But if the content is mostly the same, I assume the visual component is great: my one gripe was that I kept having to google high-res images of the paintings mentioned, because the ones in the book were tiny and unhelpful.
It's all on YouTube.
Contrary to what another commenter implied, the TV series preceded the book.
Personally I think it's all a bit of an ego trip for Berger.
Either or, or both. The book is short.
No doubt. But, with no electronic edition available, it represents a larger investment of time and effort than otherwise; I can much more easily watch videos on the train than schlep a paper book along.
