| This really is a great movie. Wells does a fantastic job as narrator. It's great fun and great entertainment. I remember watching this movie in the mid 80's on VHS and being freaked out about the end of the world predictions. Time passed and we're still here. The story is filled holes and lies, but it's all good fun just the same. |

| This video is a good intro into the life of the Amazon. I enjoyed how it balances the strangeness appeal of different creatures in the jungle with the scientific rigour to explain the terrain and the different environments animals and plants face throughout the year (rainy flooded season, dry season, etc.) I strongly recommend this video for someone planning to visit the Amazon for the first time, just to have an idea of what to expect and to better be able to understand the explanations ...

| This is one of my family's favorite videos. Kids as young as 5 are engrossed in the footage of Vesuvius and the remains of the city of Pompeii. My son's first grade teacher has requested this video to share with all the first graders in their study of Ancieng Greece & Rome |

| I showed this video to my 7th grade science class and they were blown away. It's definitely not overflowing with educational tidbits, mainly because they talk about so many things in such a short movie. However, I showed the video following our unit on earth science, including a section on volcanoes. We took over a week to discuss the ins and outs of volcanoes.
I would never use this video to TEACH about volcanoes, but used after the students have learned about them, it's excellent. There ... Read More: |

| This video was reasonably interesting, especially in its discussion of the Classic Maya Cities of Copan and Dos Pilas. I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of diversity regarding sites covered. Copan is certainly one of the more important Maya cities and it deserved coverage, but what about Tikal, Palenque, Yaxchilan, and Bonampak, just to mention a few others. They also might have considered some coverage of some of the Epi-classic & Post-Classic cities, such as Uxmal, Chichen-Itza, and Tulum; as ... Read More: |

| I remember liking this video as a child so I was anxious to see it again. It's funny how times change. The old Geographic with their big booming narrator voice and documentary scenes that look like they were staged for the camera just don't do it for me anymore. Some of the scenes are still touching but I would reccomend keeping your memories intact and avoid watching this. It's just not worth your time and any expense. |

| Recently, I showed this video to my 6th grade world cultures students and they were really captivated by it. I wasn't sure how they would like it, but they loved seeing the crafts and various artists of Japan. The video is great, because it gives you short pictures of different important people and a real overview of all of Japan's amazing talent. My students particularly liked the fighting puppets. It was a BIG hit. I would definitely recommend it. We are watching it again next year without a doubt. |

| I remembered seeing this National Geographic special- "Egypt: Quest For Eternity" on PBS back in the early eighties and recently spotted a slightly used VHS copy which I picked up(hopeing it still played okay-it did, whew!). Although an older production from the early 1980's, it was very well produced & one of National Geographic's best video productions- with great nariation and a beautiful soundtrack. Includes some heart touching moments on the life of an elderly Egyptcologist who passed away a few days after filming. ... Read More: |

| I purchased this DVD for my graduate class. They found it very enjoyable (I noticed they leaned forward as it played). We focused on the infertile couple, as this was related to the course content. Watching them we felt as if we were in the room with them - throughout their nail-biting experience. My only objection was having to skip around throughout the DVD to complete their story - as each person's medical issue was "sprinkled in" throughout the DVD. The picture was clear and the narration struck a good balance between science ... Read More: |
