Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The whole video is highly informative, engaging, and if you're a teacher (I recommend high school or above)you'll be sure to have your class's attention. If you yourself are a history buff or maybe just a regular pbs watcher, you'll love learning about the trebuchet nova style.
