Recommend DVD - Earth, Power of the Planet

The Frog Blog would like to recommend another DVD to our readers. This DVD, Earth - Power of the Planet, is another BBC production and tells the story of how Earth works and how, over the course of 4.6 billion years, it came to be the remarkable place it is today. Presented by Dr Iain Stewart the great forces that shape the earth are examined - volcanoes, the ocean, the atmosphere and ice - the programme explores their central roles in our planet's story. How do these forces affect the earth's landscape, its climate, and its history? CGI gives the audience a ringside seat at these great events, while the final episode brings together all the themes of the series and argues that earth is an exceptionally rare kind of planet - giving us a special responsibility to look after our unique world. This is a series that shows the earth in new and surprising ways. Extensive use of satellite imagery reveals new views of our planet, while time-lapse filmed over many months brings the planet to life. Offering a balance between dramatic visuals and illuminating facts, specialized imaging and gripping narrative, this ground-breaking series makes global science truly compelling.
