The Prof has a quality that delights, a sense of humo(u)r. Missing from all the profs that I had, back in the dark age of the 20th Century. By the way, I am 85 and Professor Raia taught me stuff I didn't know. My advice to you kids is, never stop learning.

Great lecturer. Always seems so organized and not a minute is wasted on Q&A or tangents.

Love this- combining this with Ryan Reeves lectures keep me well informed on the history of The Church, but your lectures explain the reason tor the history so well.

Kind of skips the fact that Newton was a serious student of Magic and alchemy as was Bruno.
