How The Earth Changed History is that rarest of documentaries: it has an actual, profound thesis at its center, and it doesn’t seem to be the slightest bit aware of it. Ostensibly, this is a series about how geographic features and natural phenomena influenced social migrations and technological innovations, but at its core, it has something very sharp to say about the way that people interact with the world around them. The moments where this comes out, unfortunately, are few and far between, and the significance itself is almost lost in a work that comes across largely as anecdotal rather than penetrating.
History is broken up into five different hour long chapters, each with a focus on a different natural element, and all of them are hosted by Iain Stewart, whose cheerful and inviting demeanor keeps them from ever treading into dull, staid territory (though the belaboring of points...

Photo: Warner Home Video Released on DVD and Blu-ray on July 22, 2008 I am finally getting around to watching what amounts to an almost five hour "biography" on the Earth. Originally broadcast in the UK on BBC in November 2007, "Earth - The Biography" is narrated by Dr. Iain Stewart, a Scottish geologist with a heavy accent that may actually turn off some viewers. Presented in conjunction with the National Geographic Channel this five part doc has some spectacular visuals as it sets out to explain how the Earth was created, where it is today and where it will be in the future. The biography is broken up into five different parts ranging from Volcanoes, Atmosphere, Ice, Oceans and ending with the theory driven fifth part called Rare Planet. Based on the names alone it should be pretty easy to figure out what each part is about. On top of phenomenal camera...

Where in the world is Iain Stewart?
That could be anywhere. On any given day, he might be peering down into the bubbling mouth of a volcano in Ethiopia, exploring an ice cave 200 meters beneath an Arctic ice sheet, observing an Icelandic geyser, or driving alongside miles of buttes, mesas and canyons carved into the American West by rushing waters at the end of the last Ice Age.
Stewart is a Scottish geologist who traveled the globe to produce this five-part history of our planet called "Earth: The Biography."
He's the second of his kind...
