Colin, etc., Thank you for the update. As someone reading Vygotsky's work for the first time, I'll testify that the Professor Veresov's videos on *Thinking and Speech *are indeed extremely helpful, as well as charming. Veresov introduces that set <http://vimeo.com/10069459> of (Vimeo) lectures thusly: “This book, *Thinking and Speech*, is a kind of unknown country, unknown land for you, and to find orientation in this land, you need to have a map or navigator in your car, so I would like to help you to escape the superficial reading that very often brings knowledge but doesn’t bring understanding. So I will give you the theoretical and methodological contexts, and you will find them in the content – not to be lost in this huge book.” The lectures are great, and I took plenty of notes on them<http://antbarra.wordpress.com/2010/11/04/thinking-speech/>. One great thing about that series is that I could download the videos to my iphone (and therefore watch them on the treadmill at the gym!). Unfortunately, I am unable to view the new ones on my phone. If anyone has advice in this regard, please share.
