[close] CBC Massey Lecture Series.

The CBC Massey Lectures, Canada's preeminent public lecture series, are a highly anticipated annual fest of ideas. Yet tragically, some the the finest lectures, by some of the greatest minds of modern times, have been lost for many years - unavailable in any form to the public.

Now, at last, a selection of these lost lectures is available to a world hungry for innovative ideas. Each lecturere addresses a subject at the heart of his or her concerns - Martin Luther King, Jr. on racial prejudice and non-violent civil disobedience, John Kenneth Galbraith on economics and poverty, Jane Jacobs on Canadian cities and Quebec separatism, Paul Goodman on the moral ambiguity of America, and Eric Kierans on globalization and the nation-state.

Their words are not only historically significant but remain strikingly relevant to the problems we face today.
