NOVA continually delivers quality educational programming.
No this is not a copy cat of BBC's Planet Earth. This is a scientific program from years of collecting data from satellites and researchers put their findings all together. You'd be amazed how much detective work goes into it, such as how 1/5 of the planet's oxygen is seemingly trapped in the Amazon forest, but travels out via method of rich sentiments dumped into the ocean and then allowing plankton to regenerate the o2. Just watched 2 hours of this on PBS, and thinking, if every nookie of earth still remains to be discovered, man's thirst and quest for knowledge just never ends. You can view this program on PBS website before deciding if buy.

stunning graphics and clearly explained science
"The Earth from Space" is one of the best Nova productions ever. It presents what we have learned about climate, ecology, geology and a host of other topics from satellites. Stunning graphics show how Earth systems work in unison to make this home of ours function. I knew a lot of the facts that were presented in the video but the graphics gave me an even clearer picture of how things coordinate. I am purchasing this one because it is so amazing.
SHould be AWARDED the NOBEL PRIZE & an OSCAR
THis is by far the BEST Nova program I have watched. I pre ordered.... I doubt that anyone will give it less than a 5...
If I could I would give it an 8 out of 5....
JUST as a follow up. This Video is free to watch on PBS/Nova.... There is also a DISCOVERY Version on Utube. The discovery
version is NOT as good as the PBS version. In fact the reason I can follow the Discovery version is because I watched the PBS version.
SO if they are BOTH available online , why did I pre order the PBS version. I want to copy it to my IPAD.. The retinal display
is STUNNING... So what are you waiting for ... ORDER NOW!!!!
