Puede que esté video haya salido ya porque tiene ya 5 años, pero es un buen ejemplo para ver por dónde va el camino.




Kurzgesagt me parece un canal buenísimo, lo utilizo en una de mis clases de inglés con un chaval y me parece súper educativo. Siempre muestran las dos caras de la moneda y están narrados de una manera que fomenta la comprensión y el entendimiento de la posición contraria. Son muy buenos.


Edito: @sikander, me suena que una vez preguntaste sobre información. No es un libro ni muestra una información extensa pero por si te sirve.
