Benjamin Franklin
starring: Dylan Baker, Richard Easton, Colm Feore
directed by: Ellen Hovde, Muffie Meyer
Everyone knows about the kite and the key, the Declaration of Independence, and Poor Richard's Almanac, but nonscholars will find much to learn in this documentary tracing the epic of Benjamin Franklin's life. Using actors Dylan Baker and Richard Easton as Franklin speaking his own words, the makers of this PBS offering bring his writings to life without resorting to corny dramatizations. The documentary first explores his education as a minister, career as a printer, and retirement to a life of science at the age of 47. The second part explores his transformation to revolutionary: his life in England and eventual rejection of its domination, the resulting painful split with his son, and his colonial radicalism at age 70. The final chapter of his life takes place in France, where he operates with subterfuge to win France's support against the English and more or less invents diplomacy. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Body Atlas DVD 5-Pack
This series takes the viewer on the most amazing journey in the Universe - the journey through the human body.
This series takes the viewer on the most amazing journey in the Universe - the journey through the human body.
New techniques film the interior workings of the body in action. A computer-graphic "see-through" man and woman show the complex geography inside the human body. But these programs are far from purely medical. Each program matches the interior process to the way it affects our everyday lives - from the chemicals that control our biological clock to the growth of a baby in the mother's womb.
We will view the human body not only with new understanding but with new respect.
