A great summary of the human endeavor: Cosmos. Carl Sagan does a wonderful job outlining the history of the universe. After watching the series, a viewer will have gained a deep insight into everything. This series would be a perfect choice for high-school students; I am surprised I only heard of it recently. It’s a must see for everyone.

John Bogle on Investing: The First 50 Years provides a good insight into the mind of John Bogle, the founder of The Vanguard Group. The only book I have read by Bogle, it explains in detail his belief that individual stock picking is not worth the effort. Instead, Bogle argues that the variance of the return on a total market index decreases as an investor considers a longer time horizon. In other words, the fifteen year return will tend to converge toward the fifteen year average return. A more detailed explanation is provided in the book. This approach suggests that the best strategy would be to invest in a low expense fund that follows either the S&P 500, the Wilshire 5000, or some market index. (ISBN-13: 978-0071761031)
I ran across this website, Stuck In Customs, a few years ago. The website’s creator, Trey Ratcliff posts HDR photographs of many different places around the world. His pictures are stunning and he allows anyone to download the hi-res versions of his photographs. Check it out!
Possibly my favorite website: Infinity Imagined. The pictures and themes posted are incredibly beautiful and insightful. Pictures range from the entire universe to the inside of an atom; from animal cells to river deltas; fractals; physics biology, and chemistry – all portrayed in images.
