CLIMATE, WEATHER AND PEOPLE and THE CHANGING EARTH - DVD
"The history of scientific research in meteorology and climatology from ancient times to the present day is traced. Climate, Weather and People explores past beliefs about weather from Aristotle through the Middle Ages to the development of the first weather chart in the U.S. in the mid-1800s. The importance of weather and climate is also explored, and current knowledge about continental drift as well as the radical climate changes over billions of years is presented. Climate, Weather and People presents current knowledge about weather and climate. The role of land, air, water and most importantly, the sun, is thoroughly explored. The increasing importance of computers in weather forecasting is explained. The ice ages, greenhouse effect, global warming and a variety of other factors and variables are also investigated. This segment provides a good overview of the current state of the art in weather forecasting and climatology." Vito Marrone, Garden City Junior High School, NY in School Library Journal.
