8.0 DVD Talk | David Cornelius

Anyone with even the slightest interest in science and "deep" history will find a treasure trove of information here. It's just the highlights, but the highlights are enough to thrill.

8.0 DVD Town | Christopher Long

"How the Earth Was Made" is a welcome no-nonsense documentary from the History Channel which sticks rigidly to the cosmic timeline with no New Age pseudo-philosophy or Nazi prophecies to distract from the proceedings.
