Summary: Simple...Very Simple
Review: I enjoyed watching this DVD but I had to run for other sources to satisfy my curiousity .Great to watch but don't expect it to answer all your weather questions.

Summary: Donal Macintyre THE WEATHER
Review: I'm a science teacher in California and have previewed in detail this work. For myself, I found the way Donal Macintyre organized the themes was ingeneous and caused the whole concept of weather to come alive to the point of being able to feel it and experience it in a powerful way. The fast pace, background music, true stories and historical background had a tendency to cause me personally to retain the details in vivid recollection

I'll be using this in my classes starting next week.

Summary: OK but lacked great footage
Review: This DVD is well organized into four sections:Wind,Wet,Cold, and Heat.

Wind; Covers twisters, Hurricanes , and jet streams
Wet; Covers Storms,flash floods, monsoons
Cold; ice storms etc..
Heat; deserts etc..

As a tutorial on weather, this DVD is great, but it didn't have any shocking footages such as giant waves crashing over piers or roofs flying off by the power of a hurricane. I found World Almanacs-Extreme Weather more interesting.
