Discovery ChannelRezensionen

This book is adorable. My daughter loved hearing of Kip and Kamuela's adventures. It is perfect for any child that is ready to sit through longer reads or reading well on their own. I love the look of the old school style illustrations.

Good Book.

Very helpful book when I was out stargazing with my telescope in my late teens. Easy to use, easy to understand. Turn the wheel and find the star.

James Cameron, il regista vincitore del premio Oscar con il film Titanic, ha ricostruito in questo documentario l'incredibile avventura della Bismarck, la supercorazzata tedesca che ha dominato i mari nel corso della Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Un vero e proprio film di guerra, con effetti speciali hollywoodiani, a cui si alternano le ricerche del relitto, riprese da un minisommergibile a 4900 metri di profondità. La Bismarck, dotata di una corazza quasi impenetrabile e di cannoni di grandissima potenza, rappresentò la principale minaccia per i convogli nel Nord Atlantico e per lungo tempo riuscì a sfuggire agli Alleati. Ma la sua sorte era segnata e si compì il 27 maggio 1941 quando, colpita al timone, fu braccata e raggiunta dalla Marina Inglese. Ci vollero 400 colpi di grosso calibro andati a segno e 3 siluri per affondare il colosso di acciaio che colò a picco con 2080 marinai. Il filmato ha vinto l'Emmy Award. (fonte: dvdweb.it)

Shark Week, by Martha Brockenbrough, is a nonfiction book with everything you need to know about sharks.(hence the title) Since sharks are often mistakenly classified as man-eating monsters, there is a portion to why sharks aren't as dangerous as they seem. As well as sharks' habitats, the author also writes what different types sharks eat. For instance, whale sharks eat plankton, while others eat fish and other marine mammals. There is also a section to shark senses. If you haven't already heard, sharks have an sixth sense along with our five main senses. The sharks' extra sense allows them to feel electricity and movement in the water. This is helpful when hunting because injured prey might be thrashing in the water, and this sixth sense allows the shark to locate where the prey is. Overall, I think the author did an amazing job writing this book.
I rated this book a five because it is full of fun facts and interesting information about sharks. This book also includes a ton of pictures to get a feel of how spectacular sharks are.

Gives the example of text-features and realistic pictures and facts about sharks.

A couple special effects guys and various cohorts test whether various urban legends are possible.

Some of the better episodes. They don't all feature major explosions as the title implies, but there are quite a few good ones. Includes the exploding cement truck episode (which was also edited into a special which is on an earlier "Collection"), and the water heater rocket episode, both of which are pretty crazy.½

It's frustrating how off-track they get at testing myths this season. It's often more about messing around on the theme of a myth. Still, it's fun to watch them messing around.

Who was Jesus? What was his childhood like? What was his message and mission? "Who was Jesus" is the story of what it was like to be Jesus: to be born into tyranny and executed for preaching harmony, love and forgiveness to one's own warring people. It's also the story ;of his disciples who risked death by carrying Jesus' message of salvation. Three expert guides - a historian, archaeologist and theologian - examine the evidence and paint a contextual picture of the times in which Jesus lived.

This book presents very interesting facts on animals of all species and locations that leave the reader fascinated. It gives details about many different animals capabilities and statistics on animal characteristics often providing references to human qualities to compare. The information contained in this book is very interesting to all readers, animal-lovers or not. It's a great book for students to get ideas for projects or research. It's definitely a book I would like to have in my classroom library.

Cute!!!
And well-written and informative.

I need to go to NYC, hail a cab, and cross my fingers that I get picked up by the Cash Cab, I could win some serious money.

Fun trivia book, love the set up, questions get harder as they become worth more. Great for the trivia lover!

This book allows the reader to "play" cash cab. Each chapter has $50 questions, $100 question, $200 questions and a bonus question. It even includes red-light challenges and tidbits of information about famous places and events in New York City.

Substance: Brief review of the making of Mount Rushmore's monument, and why those four presidents were selected.
Style: Standard documentary, minimal production. This documentary does not do justice to the subject.

Helpful video about tsunamis.½

The biggest, the smallest, the fastest, and the slowest are covered in Discovery Channel's tour of the animal kingdom. In Mammals we learn about our animal “classmates” and the fabulous variety they come in today. We also find out why they rule the earth. Reptiles have been walking, slithering or lumbering around the Earth for millions of years. Fish and Amphibians take a look at the most prominent creatures under water. Learn how fish and the amphibian's behaviour changes as they adapt to their environment. Take flight with Birds so you can take a closer look at our feathered friends. Did you know that you can guess what a bird eats by looking at its beak?

Discovery Channel takes you from the bottom of the Earth to the stratosphere on a tour of our home planet. In the Volcanoes section you can feel the heat as you learn about old myths and legends, and then explore the scientific methods and tools used by volcanologists today. In Weather and Climate you learn that even if you cannot change it you can predict its behaviour very accurately. From fair weather to cloudy days to destructive extremes like tornadoes and hurricanes you will get a comprehensive weather report. Earthquakes takes an earth-shattering look at underground plates and rocks which have caused so much damage to life and limb down the ages. In Oceans you discover that oceans have many mysteries and secrets still left to be explored.
