The history of human civilization is an astonishing story of migration, innovation, and social development. Now, the exciting new field of “big history” allows us to explore human civilizations in ways unavailable to historians of previous generations. Big history scholars take a multidisciplinary approach to study great spans of time, unlocking important themes, trends, and developments across time and space.
Unlike a traditional survey of history - with its focus on dates and events, kings and battles - The Big History of Civilizations is your chance to apply this cutting-edge historical approach to the epic story of humanity around the world. Taught by acclaimed Professor Craig G. Benjamin of Grand Valley State University, these 36 sweeping lectures trace the story of human civilizations from our emergence as a species, through the agricultural and industrial revolutions, and into the future.
It only takes a few minutes of one lecture for you to discover that Big History is an amazing approach to history. Its grand vision will give you powerful new insights into human civilization, and it offers a profound analysis of some of our biggest questions: What makes us human? Where did we come from? And where are we going? There may be no easy answers, but Professor Benjamin takes you on a powerful journey to the limits of our understanding.
What differentiates big history from any other field is the way it combines divergent fields, from archaeology and anthropology to ecology and philosophy, and ties them together, allowing you to see patterns of our past, present - and even future. From the just-right “Goldilocks factors” that allow civilizations to emerge to different ways civilizations have emerged across time and around the word, this riveting approach to history offers a multidisciplinary toolkit to tell the story about what makes us human.

Some problem with file - The Big History of Civilizations 01.mp3 33 MBs
July 30th, 2017
Playing the file on VLC seems to appear normal. Not noticing any issue with the file.
What are you using to play it. I would suggest VLC.

Exactly what was the problem, and is it still a problem?
July 31st, 2017
The first file showed 4 hours + listening length.
And when I tried to navigate the first file, audio skipped to next file.
i am using potplayer.
I will download it again to confirm.

Yeah. Works ok with VLC. Thank you, ssafe05 & rick11. :) Sorry for the incomplete info earlier.
However, shows 17 hours 49 minutes of listening length on potplayer. And whenever I try to skip forward, audio stops. (this is the first time I am encountering problem with potplayer)
First file does not work with Windows Media Player either.

Does it work with Plex’s player is the question though?
Anyone tried playing through plex?

Download the above torrent file ( don’t use magnet). Then double click the torrent file and check only the first audio file to download. Its only 33 mb and should download very quickly.
You can easily check whether it is compatible with your favourite player or not.

I used to down these Teaching Company books all the time.
Then I very quickly got sick and tired of applause and music. It’s just not what one should have to put up with in this type of information. It’s shiet. As interesting as some of TTC topics are, I just can’t get past music and applause.
This is no reflection on the uploader, by the way.
