Patrick Stewart narrates this eye-popping global spectacle that probes oceans and scales mountains to explain our planet's catastrophic past and violent present. What you don't know about your planet will thrill, amaze - and even frighten you. The facts featured in this eleven-chapter DVD are as starling as they are fascinating. Did you know that each year an average of 18,000 meteorites hit the earth; that it's 3,000 degree Fahrenheit just four miles below you or that the top of Mount Everest was once part of the ocean floor? Take part in the exciting story of Earth: scoop molten lava from an active volcano Explore the Moon with Apollo astronauts. Be present at the world's largest subsurface exploration. See Earth's oldest geological artifact - a 3.7 billion-year-old rock in Australia. Discover how Africa and South America split apart millions of years ago. Witness the devastating effects of an earthquake as it happens. Flee form deadly lightning-fast lava flows from an erupting volcano and much more. Buckle up, you won't believe the power of this amazing earth!

Great Dvd!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Amazing Earth (Full Screen) (DVD)
I highly recommend this DVD.CD Universe $10.45 In Stock DVD Empire $11.23 IN-STOCK Barnes & Noble $12.99 In Stock:Ships within 2-3 days Amazon.com $13.03 Usually ships within 24 hours I highly recommend using Amazon for the site to buy it from because from beginning to end is top notch service & shipment! PLUS if you buy this & another DVD...you could qualify for free shipping & also if you buy from other sites...they tax you like Walmart.com...Amazon is about to be my only source for dvds...I do use Borders and Walmart.com but Amazon has slowly creeped up there to be my main source because they email you for future releases...even dvds not even available for pre-order yet!

A grim outlook for our future,
By "iamthelorax" (Palmdale, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amazing Earth (Full Screen) (DVD)
Patrick Stewart takes us on a fascinating journey on our Earth's evolution from the compression of "space junk" to the ultimate end of the planet as we know it. I first watched this on the Discovery Channel about a year ago and had taped it (alas it was taped over unknowingly) so that I could digest all of the information presented. It will take several times of viewing before I will be able to take in all of the facts. Don't suppose that this DVD is dry and boring though. All of the information is presented in layman's terms, with any technical terms being fully explained as far as I can tell. The DVD presents it all in beautiful scenes of our planet as few have ever seen it, by taking us to exotic locales and making us look a little closer at things we may see every day. There is one scene along the San Andreas fault line that shows a tortured cross section of rock by a freeway that is literally just down the street from my house. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who has more than a passing interest in how our planet came to be as we know it today. The future of the planet may be grim, but hey, I won't be around to complain about it in a couple million years ;)

As an environmental science teacher, I am always looking for tangle alternatives that depict the lesson I am trying to convey. This DVD does it! It is exciting, fascinating, and breathtaking! I highly recommend it to any high school teacher!
