My wife and I recently discussed getting cable precisely because of shows like this. Produced along the same lines as the excellent BBC series Planet Earth and Life this look at how natural phenomena such as soil erosion and movement, fire, water and wind, have shaped human history isn't as lavish but almost as interesting. Leading the way is acclaimed Geologist Iain Stewart whose unique perspective on the power of climate and geography is reminscent of the thoughts of Jared Diamond in the marvelous PBS series Guns, Germs and Steel. This two disc set is ideal for teachers or anyone who just wants to be impressed with dirt in high definition.
