DVD: National Geographic ...     DVD:       National Geographic - Eye of the Leopard14 reviews National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007 Breathtaking! I was fortunate enough to watch this wonderful documentary on the National Geographic Channel and it stole my heart. They aired it again a couple of months later and I was ecstatic! I've wanted to own this work of art and finally received it as a gift last week. It was worth the wait. I've always loved animals, and over the years I've watched many documentaries. I'm in heaven! It is an ...             National Geographic: World's Most Dangerous Drug10 reviews National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007 Quality Documentary. This was a very educational production with considerable first hand footage and field reporting. That's what we expect from National Geographic and that's what we get here. The photo comparisons of the premature aging of meth users--"Faces of Meth"--was as depressing as it was compelling. The side effects of this drug are absolutely horrific, and the parts about "meth mouth" are tough to watch. ...             National Geographic: In the Womb - Multiples6 reviews National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007 A fascinating journey This documentary follows the multiple pregnancies of three different women, from conception to shortly after the birth. Rachel (the only one who isn't a first-time mother) is having fraternal twins (a boy and a girl), Jennifer is having triplets (two identical boys plus one fraternal brother who was conceived on a different day), and Julie is having identical quads (girls). All three of these ...             In God's Name National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2008             National Geographic's Strange Days on Planet Earth13 reviews National Geographic National Geographic Video, 2005 Excellent and enjoyable series on our small and fragile planet Strange Days is so well put together, and Edward Norton is a powerful narrator. I show at least one of the four episodes in classes that I teach. Students from Middle School to Grad School enjoy it equally. Episode 2: The One Degree Factor is my favorite documentary on Climate Change. Episode 4: Troubled Waters is one of the most chilling environmental segments ever aired. And the other two ...             National Geographic - World's Most Dangerous Gang3 reviews National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007 Forget what you know about other gangs and take a serious look at this menace to society You've probably heard about high profile gangs that make up some of the American landscape and those would include some like the Crips, Bloods, Hell's Angels, Mexican Mafia, The Latin Kings, Chinese Triads, Japanese Yakuza, and Skinheads. These are just a few and they are all notorious in their own right but there is an even more insidious gang that is growing at a frightful rate on a global ...             National Geographic - Relentless Enemies5 reviews National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007 Awesome DVD - Graphic Lion vs Buffalo Action This is one of the best lion documentaries I have ever seen, the Jouberts have done it again. Several giant-sized powerfully built lionesses have specialized in hunting buffalo, massive bulls and newborn calves alike. The buffalo are equally dangerous defending their own. If you enjoy real world wildlife battles as opposed to fake, computer generated conflict this film is for you. The notorious ...             National Geographic - Volcano!5 reviews National Geographic National Geographic Video, 2003 Real Toasted Coast! This is one of NGs better productions - partially because the subject itself is so fascinating - partially because of the spectacular footage of the eruptions of Mt Unzen (Japan) and the famous blast at Mt Pinatubo some years ago. Overall, the program gives a good general description of the geological issues, the different types of eruptive activity, as well as larger historical and disaster ...             National Geographic - Secrets of Jerusalem's Holiest Sites3 reviews National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007 If you are looking for God, come to Jerusalem!!! There's a saying: "If you need water, you build an aqueduct. If you are looking for God, you come to Jerusalem." Jerusalem means "City of Peace." But as a focal point of three major world religions, and home to some of those faiths' holiest sites, Jerusalem has witnessed 3,000 years of bloody conflict, intrigue and passion. This compelling documentary from National Geographic, with exclusive ...             Stress: Portrait of a Killer2 reviews National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2008 Stress Is Like Ice Cream............. So, how is stress like ice cream? Well, a little now and then is ok, a triple serving may only make you temporarily sick, but "all you can eat" might kill you! I've followed Robert Sapolsky's work for 10+ years and he definitely is the #1 expert on the effects of stress on the brain. Prolonged, sustained, excessive stress and your similar response to it, not only causes deterioration of ...             National Geographic - Dinosaurs Unearthed (Dino Autopsy / Dino Death Trap)1 review National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2008 dinosaurus THese two interesting documentaries follow one another quite well. The first, Dino Deathtrap, is a story of a huge deposit of dinosaur bones found in overlaying segments in a single location in China. Several new to science species are uncovered. The title is well approached in this episode. The second episode is not so well put together and arrives at no finality. At the end, we are left ...             National Geographic: In the Womb - Animals1 review National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007 Three fascinating journeys This documentary, part of National Geographic's great 'In the Womb' series, takes us into the wombs of three different animals. Using new 4-D ultrasound imaging, we're able to see a picture of life in the womb like never before. All of the embryonic/fetal animals are very different, yet they're all mammals, and all have a number of similarities in addition to their differences. Following a ...             National Geographic - Inside Grand Central5 reviews National Geographic National Geographic Video, 2006 A wonderful look at an incomparable national landmark Grand Central Station, on its own, can probably be summed up into a couple of words: simply amazing. As the world's largest railroad terminal, some of its known facts are incredible. About 700,000 commuters a day (250 million per year) utilize 538 different trains spread out over 48 acres of real estate that enclose this massive structure. The main concourse encompasses 80,000 square feet of ...             Secret Yellowstone5 reviews National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007 Have seen this on TV Having seen this on TV and having a good friend that does tours in Yellowstone, I ordered it as a gift for her, nothing like being able to impress a tour group with information about areas of the Park they will never see. Yellowstone is the oldest and grandest park in the USA, and this DVD shows you how big and how wild it really is...             National Geographic: The Great Inca Rebellion2 reviews National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007 Reading History from Bones A handful of corpses are found outside of Lima, Peru. The documentary asks what does the damage on the bodies of these Inca tell us about their deaths and the history of the Andes. It also asks whether these bones corroborate what the contemporary Spanish said about their victory in South America. This was a major look into forensics, very similar to what you might watch on "Court TV." ...             National Geographic: Prehistoric Predators3 reviews National Geographic Nat'l Geographic, 2008 EXCELLENT AND EXCITING! THIS IS A VERY EXCITING AND VISUALLY STIMULATING. LOTS OF FACTS AND SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE IS USED. GREAT ANIMATION.             A Man Among Wolves4 reviews National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007 Outstanding to say the least!! I saw this on tv about a month or so ago. Wow!! This is totally outstanding. Never have I seen anything, I mean anything like this before! This is not your typical wolf movie. Get it and be amazed.             Hooked: Monster Fish National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2008 Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 08/05/2008 Rating: Nr             National Geographic: King Tut's Final Secrets2 reviews National Geographic Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2005 Competent look at the topic This feature looks at many of the matters surrounding the finding of the tomb, the principal characters, and the "curse". It also purports to find the answer to how Tutenkhamon died (I am not completely convinced). It is detailed and well resourced but could have been made more interesting (it drags a little in parts). There is also a litle too much of Dr Zawi Hawass (Supreme Council of ...             National Geographic - Diamonds of War: Africa's Blood Diamonds1 review National Geographic, Blood Diamond Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2007 A(nother) Tragedy in Africa Let me admit that I have not seen DiCaprio's film "Blood Diamond." Like many documentaries produced after films, I think this one was intended for people who want to learn more facts after seeing a fictional portrayal. The point of this work is to show that even if the diamond industry wants to ban illegal "blood" diamonds, it would be difficult to do. Like Latin American farmers who say ...              search for DVDs africa, animals, autopsy, central, dangerous, diamonds, dinosaurs, enemies, geographic, holiest, hooked, inside, jerusalem, leopard, monster, multiples, national, planet, portrait, predators, prehistoric, rebellion, relentless, secret, secrets, strange, stress, unearthed, volcano, yellowstone DVD:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
