The favorite of students and educators everywhere, James Burke the scientific detective is back tracking the fascinating links between technological invention, social history, economics, and, well, everything. Life is a giant 3-dimensional globe made up of millions of threads that cross and recross each other, says Burke as he traces the lines that lead from a French loom to IBM, from a kink in a water pipe to a carburetor. He makes two dozen international stops by way of explaining how the steam pump led to carbon paper, to the entire Industrial revolution and the moon landing, with drill bits, X-rays and genetic engineering along the way; says New York Newsday. In one half-hour! Your head spins, but its the same as splendid champagne. TV is rarely this tasty or this smart, and hardly ever both in such a whiz-bang package. Programs in this series: Disc 1: Revolutions Disvover how the steam engine led to safety matches, imitation diamonds and the moon in a wild ride. Sentimental Journeys What has Freud got to do with maps: Or prison reform with blue dye? Or the inside of a star with the Himalayas: India reveals the answers. Getting It Together Start by examining a SWAT team, which leads to hot air ballooning, the root of many inventions. Whodunit? Who stole a set of billard balls in 1902 and why was he the most famous crook in history? The clues: maps from 1775, Charles Darwins cousin and the FBI. Disc 2: Something for Nothing Something impossible happened 400 years ago. And we wound up in outer space, thanks (en route) to piegon lovers, the Pope, and electric Italian frogs.

The sequel to the racing smash THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS may not have Vin Diesel as its star but it burns with even higher octane than its predecessor and a whole lot less extraneous drama. Back in action is undercover cop Brian O'Connor Paul Walker whose career has hit the skids since he let Diesel's character escape at the last film's end. He has sunk in status and is now a fringe dweller on the Miami street racing scene. A chance at redemption arrives when the fuzz recruits him to investigate Carter Vellone Cole Hauser a top-dog street racer with dangerous drug connections. O'Connor recruits his bickering childhood pal modelsinger Tyrese now a nitro-burning ex-con from the Diesel school of toughness to help him pull the bad guys to the curb with a tire-spinning vengeance. John Singleton BOYZ IN THE HOOD HIGHER LEARNING directed and obviously had great fun delivering a straight-up racing thriller that's free of the message-bearing pressure of being a "John Singleton film." 2 FAST fairly roars off the screen with comic book exuberance and a cheerful disregard for anything that gets in the way of its forward momentum. Best of all is Tyrese a natural laid-back star--he's not afraid to poke fun at his own shirtless model-boy image and amply compensates for the mighty Vin's absence. Rapper Ludacriss is also memorable as O'Connor's mechanic as is model Devon Akoi as a cute female racer. Minimize

The world’s longest continually running police drama A hard-driving cop drama with a hard-edged Scottish burr, Taggart deals in a world of prostitutes, drug dealers, crime lords, and killers. In eight tightly crafted episodes, a team of Glasgow detectives use their collective wits and street smarts to tackle murder in this very tough town. Sometimes that means taking on hardened crime bosses, sometimes innocent victims with years to plot their revenge. Each time it means getting inside the mind of murderers--how they think, how they act, how they kill. With its deadpan humor, sordid setting, and "witty scripts rich with Glasgow patter" (The Guardian, U.K.), this quintessentially Scottish series has won universal appeal. Starring Blythe Duff, John Michie (To Walk with Lions), Alex Norton (Patriot Games), and Colin McCredie. Minimize

Over 700 photos taken over the course of three summers at the world's capital of nudism where clothing is optional every day of the year: Cap d'Agde in France. The photos document family-sponsored summer camp activities open to the public for teenage girls during peak season for visitors. After registering their daughters, parents chip in with their time and help out as volunteers in the Junior Miss programs. Release in book form for 754 photos was prohibitive in size and weight. Since Amazon's software cannot accommodate photo CDs, the DVD format was created for release and registered with the Washington DC copyright office (copyright.gov/records). Minimize

Languages: French Subtitles: ENGLISH, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified) Overview: Speed freak taxi driver Daniel along with the only cop in France he likes, the bumbling Emilien, are back for more misadventure in this sequel to the highly entertaining and highly successful French action film, Taxi. The movie opens up with Daniel taking a slight detour through a rally on the way to drop off a customer and her husband at the hospital. Oh yeah, the customer just happens to be giving birth. This is just an indication of the crazy stuff that goes on in Taxi 2. This time around, the Japanese ambassador is visiting Marseilles to view the city police's anti-terrorist tactics. During the visit, however, he is kidnapped by a group working for the Japanese yakuza. Young officer Emilien is determined to rescue the ambassador and officer Petra (his girlfriend), who was also kidnapped, and restore the honor of his department. Once again, speed demon taxi-driver Daniel (from the first Taxi movie) is called upon to save the day with his high-speed driving skills. Tsuyu plays a Japanese spy who is trailing Daniel throughout the film. Concurrently, she is shooting a television series for the French TF1 network, in which she plays an undercover cop with a mean karate kick. Plenty of cool car chases, action and martial arts keep the movie pace fast and interesting. Cast: Samy Naceri, Frederic Diefenthal, Emma Sjoberg, Bernard Farcy, Marion Cotillard, Tsuyu Shimizu. . .

JACOV BRESSLER Jacov began his training at age 16 with an Argentinian master instructor who is a direct disciple of legendary Okinawan Karate master Gogen Yamaguchi's Son. That style - Goju Ryu Karate - is still one of the most "hard core" martial art styles in the world today. There are two DVD's in this set. First, Jacov reveals his most important "single lesson to street level fighting mastery" material. This is the "speed-learning" shortcut hand-to-hand tactics he teaches cops and soldiers who don't have time for practice. Second, he does the BEST job on teaching civilians about improvised weapons. (This is a SPECIAL ART, and one that Jacov perfected long ago, during the days he sometimes HAD to fashion weapons out of thin air to survive.) Last, Jacov insisted on providing an extra lesson showing you how to use these simple new skills in REAL situations. It was expensive, setting up these real-life scenarios. But oh my God, it was worth it. Just watching these lessons will give you access to stunning new (and very simple) fighting skills that will make you almost INVULNERABLE in any real-world fight.

Love, betrayal, and adventure in a timeless historic drama "Romance and pure escape" --The New York Times "Sweeping, swashbuckling, exotic" --The Washington Post As seen on Masterpiece Theatre "Raging ambition, terrible betrayals, frustrated loves, daring deeds, and a marvelously dashing hero" --The New York Times A sensation on PBS and based on the beloved novels by Winston Graham, Poldark tells the story of a gallant English army officer who finds the trials and travails at home every bit as perilous as what he faced in war.

Discharged from his regiment with marsh fever, Ross finds his home life in turmoil and relations with his wife, Demelza (Angharad Rees, Close to Home), often strained. The social order is in similar flux, with threats on all sides--from rioters and robbers, the hungry poor, and the ruthlessly ambitious George Warleggan (Ralph Bates, Dear John), Ross’s sworn enemy.

Ever wonder where America gets most of its oil? If you thought it was Saudi Arabia or Iraq you are wrong. America's biggest oil supplier has quickly become Canada's oil sands. Located under Alberta's pristine boreal forests, the process of oil sands extraction uses up to 4 barrels of fresh water to produce only one barrel of crude oil. It goes without saying that water - its depletion, exploitation, privatization and contamination - has become the most important issue to face humanity in this century. At the same time, the war for oil is well underway across the globe. A struggle is increasingly being fought between water and oil, not only over them. Alberta's oil sands are at the centre of this tension. As the province rushes towards a large-scale extraction, the social, ecological and human impacts are hitting a crisis point. In only a few short years the continent will be a crisscross of pipelines, reaching from the arctic all the way to the southern US, leaving toxic water basins the size of Lake Ontario, and surface-mines as large as Florida. H2Oil follows a voyage of discovery, heartbreak and politicization in the stories of those attempting to defend water in Alberta against tar sands expansion. Unlikely alliances are built and lives are changed as they come up against the largest industrial project in human history. Ultimately we ask what is more important, oil or water? And what will be our response? With hope and courage H2Oil tells the story of one of the most significant, and destructive projects of our time. Minimize
