MEMBER REVIEW: This 2015 production is a mini course in the history of the Earth and the geological forces that shaped the planet and allowed life to evolve. The information is up-to-date and cutting edge. They have a different group of scientists and some different video and emphasis from the usual Nova productions, and that is a good thing because we enjoy a few different voices. It is an excellent view for anyone wanting to know how we all got here and what the Earth runs on to make it the place we can call home. A must-see for geology enthusiasts. DESCRIPTION: Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and extreme weather. Has Earth always been this way? Featuring footage of top geologic hot spots on every continent, the film traces the scientifically-based story of the 4.5 billion-year-old Earth, from the core to the crust and up into the atmosphere.
