| I have bought/studies different methods of Natural horsemanship, from Clinton Anderson, Parelli, John Lyons.... I really liked his simplicity and getting to the most important aspect of enjoying our horses and loving them. I have 3 colts and have done all the exersises to a point where they are programed but lost the real communication that you have when your a kid and are not embarressed to show your feelings and connect as if you were a horse communicating. I grew up around horses as a kid and ... Read More: |

| 22.The Civil War - A Film by Ken Burns (Boxed Set) starring: David McCullough June 03, 1997 |

|
| Ken Burns' epic documentary about the Civil War is perhaps the greatest and most all-encompassing history lesson of the North/South conflict that has ever been put on film or page. Not only is every important detail of the war covered (and in such a way that the details are interesting and important, not boring), but two entire episodes are devoted to the build-up and aftermath of the conflict. Essentially, if you were teaching a class on the Civil War, this video is all you would need, as it both conveys ... Read More: |

|
| This two volume set; each video fifty minutes long, is like a cliff note version of the Irish coming to America. Talks about English rule over Ireland and the reason they first came to the colonies and the strugles to find themselves in the United States. I just though it could of been more informative and the a little bit longer. |

| Although this video was shot some time ago, by the famed photographer Mary Ellen Mark, the conditions are as applicable now as they were back when it was made some years ago. This video "Streetwise" portays the life of several street kids in Seattle: "Tiny", the prostitute, who can't be any more than about 13 or 14; "Rat" who goes dumpster-diving for food; and Roberta Josephine (Bobbie Jo) who was eventually strangled to death by Gary Ridgway, the "Green River Killer", active in Seattle at that time and responsible for the deaths ...

|
| There are no reenactments by second-rate actors; neither are there detailed examinations of ruins, nor are there dry recitations of historical facts from graying academicians. This is a four-hour journey through 20,000 miles in the company of an entertaining, charming, knowledgeable guide, Michael Wood - some of it on foot as Alexander, himself, would have pressed ahead to his destiny into the rumored, legendary, imagined and unknown. What is the legacy of the greatest of all conquerors? What evidence remains on the lands and their peoples today ... Read More: |

| This sad but powerful video is a must-have for any English or History teacher dealing with the Holocaust. I *do* agree with many Holocaust survivors who urge teachers to NOT begin their units with such a film, but to use it as a tool that complements a balanced discussion of this horrific time period. I begin my unit with a study of poems from the book, "I Never Saw Another Butterfly," recommended by another teacher, and then proceed to this video. Finally, we read the book, "Night," by Elie Wiesel. I feel all the first-hand accounts really hit home the ... Read More: |

|
| This documentary shows Elvis as he starts to go down a destuctive path. You can sense in certain scenes that his heath is in decline. It gives a "behind the scenes" feel as to what life on tour with Elvis was like. He sings great and looks cool as only he can. |

| The greatest compliment to this series is that it has created a torrent of discussion and the debates are still raging. I enjoy this series so much, I watch it nearly every year.
My critique has been discussed at length, so I summarize this way: I appreciate Wynton Marsalis' discussion of the jazz with which he is familiar. This does not qualify Wynton Marsalis to decide, for everyone else, what constitutes jazz when the question of "fusion" comes up. Much of fusion, both then and now, is largely rhythm section dominated (electric bass, ... Read More: |
