BBC最新纪录片,讲述地球的力量如何改变了人类的历史。2010年1月19日首播,共播出了5集:'Water','Deep Earth', 'Wind', 'Fire','Human Planet'。节目中,Iain Stewart教授带领观众探究几个世纪以来,地质学、地理学和气候是如何影响人类生活的。 我们的星球拥有惊人的力量,但却很少在教科书中被提起。这个系列节目第一次通过电视展现地球的神奇力量对人类发展的影响。节目将历史故事的讲述和炫目的摄影镜头紧密结合,给我们呈现一幅原汁原味的人类历史图景。 Iain Stewart tells the epic story of how the planet has shaped our history. With spectacular images, surprising stories and a compelling narrative, the series discovers the central role played in human history by four different planetary forces. Episode 1: Water Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. This time he explores our complex relationship with water. Visiting spectacular locations in Iceland, the Middle East and India, Iain shows how control over water has been central to human existence. He takes a precarious flight in a motorised paraglider to experience the cycle of freshwater that we depend on, discovers how villagers in the foothills of the Himalayas have built a living bridge to cope with the monsoon, and visits Egypt to reveal the secret of the pharaohs' success. Throughout history, success has depended on our ability to adapt to and control constantly shifting sources of water. Episode 2: Deep Earth Iain Stewart tells the epic story of how the planet has shaped our history. With spectacular images, surprising stories and a compelling narrative, the series discovers the central role played in human history by four different planetary forces. In this first episode, Iain explores the relationship between the deep Earth and the development of human civilisation. He visits an extraordinary crystal cave in Mexico, drops down a hole in the Iranian desert and crawls through seven-thousand-year-old tunnels in Israel. His exploration reveals that throughout history, our ancestors were strangely drawn to fault lines, areas which connect the surface with the deep interior of the planet. These fault lines gave access to important resources, but also brought with them great danger. Episode 3: Wind Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. Iain sets sail on one of the fastest racing boats ever built to explore the story of our turbulent relationship with the wind. Travelling to iconic locations including the Sahara desert, the coast of West Africa and the South Pacific, Iain discovers how people have exploited the power of the wind for thousands of years. The wind is a force which at first sight appears chaotic. But the patterns that lie within the atmosphere have shaped the destiny of continents, and lie at the heart of some of the greatest turning points in human history. Episode 4: Fire Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. Iain explores man's relationship with fire. He begins by embarking on an extraordinary encounter with this terrifying force of nature - a walk right through the heart of a raging fire. Fire has long been our main source of energy and Iain shows how this meant that the planet played a crucial role in Britain's industrial revolution, whilst holding China's development back. Along the way he dives in a mysterious lake in Oregon, climbs a glacier of salt, crawls through an extraordinary cave in Iran and takes a therapeutic bath in crude oil. Episode 5: Human Planet Series in which Professor Iain Stewart looks at how four geological forces have shaped human history. He explores the most recently established force, humans. It's easy to think of the human impact on the planet as a negative one, but as Iain discovers, this isn't always the case. It is clear that humans have unprecedented control over many of the planet's geological cycles the question is, how will the human race use this power?
这是三架飞机改变世界的旅程:SR-71黑鸟、DC-3和空中客车A380。每一架非凡的飞机都有与之匹配的非凡故事,包括大型堵住、特立独行的人物和威胁生命的挑战。这一切尽在纪录片《改变世界的飞机 Planes That Changed the World》。 SR-71黑鸟侦察机能够以三倍音速飞行在8,000英尺高空,且接近大气的边缘。不过,它最伟大的遗产是当世界陷入核战争边缘时维护了世界和平如今看来,这仍然是世界最快的载人飞机之一。通过采访与之建造和驾驶相关的男性和女性了解它卓越的历史。 一个圆形机身,后掠机翼,今天的每架飞机都存在着DC-3的印记,创建于20世纪30年代颠覆性的航空杰作,不过效果显著,并且是革命性的创作。DC3促进了当时仍然不景气的经济。在诺曼底登陆中扮演了重要角色,通过它的高可靠性,高地形适应性,和经济性,一直影响着当今航空界。 起因于要具有波音天空女王之称的波音747相同任务,建造世界上首个超大飞机,双层甲班喷气机。建造它不是一件小事,如果失败意味着空客的结束。这是一个A380的故事。从它的规划,到它的建造,再到它的首次试飞。这是一次高风险的挑战,工程和后勤都会面临前所未有的挑战,这种庞然大物能飞离地面本身是一个奇迹,任何风险都会导致事故发生。
