This series focuses on the geographic and biological evolution of the Australian continent since the formation of the Earth. Dr. Richard Smith narrates the entire series, starting with the formation the first lifeforms on Earth, up until the modern time. Good series and worth a watch.
Cambridge Nights, the name of a Vimeo channel, interviews professors and scientists working in Boston. Just to name a few: Steven Pinker, Woodie Flowers, Nicholas Christakis, Geoffrey West, and Albert-László Barabási.
I’ll be attending a talk by Geoffrey West soon. Many of his ideas are great additions to the work of Stuart Kauffman, Ricard Sole, and others at the Santa Fe Institute.
List of talks and lectures by Geoffrey West:
On Metabolism and Scaling Laws
Geoffrey West: The surprising math of cities and corporations
I enjoy watching documentaries about Earth. Yesterday I watched Home (2009), directed by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. This film contains many nice panoramic visuals of locations around the globe. As you are watching these scenes the narrator takes you through the story of life and evolution.
Watch Home here on YouTube.
Well done NOVA. Earth From Space, a NOVA documentary detailing the information revealed about Earth through satellites, is a must see. The visual images of the atmospheric processes and natural phenomenon are the best I have seen and really show the inter-connectedness of the environmental processes on Earth. Follow this link to watch it on YouTube.
