I was interested in "attending" this lecture so I could determine if I wanted to go on the Panama Canal trip offered by Road Scholar. I've decided to sign up!

James went into depth about the history of canals (going back hundreds of years), and the problems of building the Panama Canal. His choice of short videos and still pictures really helped explain the whole thing. His manner of speaking is relaxed and easy to listen to. I would definitely recommend this online course.
