 overview of planet Earth August 31, 2008
This is a very good visual introduction to Earth for anyone whose interests are not directed to the physical and biological sciences. The videography is vivid and captivating. Overall, it is well executed.
 Wonderfully done and educational! August 31, 2008
Saw this originally on TV, and wanted it in my video library. There are so many things on this earth to learn about, and this was a fantastic way to increase that knowledge!
Brilliant Documentary !! Great accent !! August 31, 2008
I am from the french speaking part of Canada and started speaking proper (or at least acceptable) english in late high-school so I dont quite understand why a native english speaking north-american would have difficulties understanding a scottish accent when I do so without even having to rewind any part of the program.br /I got my copy from the UK a few months ago (where it is known as 'Earth: The Power of the Planet') and I actually quite enjoyed Iain Stewart's accent since it gave a nice touch to the production.br /Cheers !!
Better than "Planet Earth" series? August 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I see several reviewers not liking "Earth: The Biography" as much as "Planet Earth", both of which I own. I found the BBC version "Earth: The Biography" to be far more useful on a broader scale, packing an enormous amount of information and understanding into only 4 main episodes, and finally the amazing "Rare Planet" finale. I have a background in Biology Genetics, but I would recommend this series to anyone- layperson or scientist. It is in-depth enough to satisfy my questioning nature, while clear and succinct enough for my 10 year old and totally non-science daughter to understand! br /br /If you want an understanding about "the big picture" about the dynamics of our planet, then this is the right series. I feel that "Planet Earth" is more for those who would appreciate a huge in-depth episode about each little thing- a whole episode dedicated just to caves! For a broad understanding in far less time though, "Earth: The Biography" is the way to go. br /br /Ok, well truly I'd recommend them both! :-) It just depends on your personal taste as to which style you like: everything in a nutshell, or much longer detail under the microscope kind of view.
Big Picture Hope - with a Scottish Host August 16, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
As one who feels some despair about the state of the world on socioeconomic and environmental levels, I found EARTH: THE BIOGRAPHY wide-reaching enough that I regained some energy to work for the future of the planet. Geology and geography, environment and the human footprint are dealt with here rationally and clearly alongside excellent photography and computer graphics. I buy a DVD once every 4-5 years on average; this one was an instant-buy even before its release date.
