I first saw this documentary when I was considering going to medical school. I watched it again when I was in medical school. I watched it a third time when I was an intern. And I just watched it again now that I am in my last year of residency during a night on call with one of my junior residents. This is a wonderful set of videos. When I first saw it I had no idea how accurately it portrays the process of medical training. Each time I see it, there are things the individuals state that resonate loud and clear with me. And each time I see it, they get louder and clearer. There are certain universal experiences in our training, and many of them are captured here on film. When I watched the video last month with my junior, she also found it to be a great collection. I ... Read More

2.Nova - Trillion Dollar Bet starring: Nova, David Ogden Stiers, Malcolm Clark, Alan Greenspan, Myron Scholes February 29, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $54.95
I want to second the reviewer that says much of the most interesting part of this film is the discussion about the dynamic between those who adopt purely quantitative strategies and the tried and true belief in following one's gut. I was also quite impressed by the extent to which Trillion Dollar Bet managed to communicate using visuals. This is, after all, not a visual subject. The many shots of trading floors were no surprise. However, I took delight in seeing the wealthy investment gurus in their cars, in their offices, and in their homes. That said quite a bit about their personalities.

3.Nova: Anastasia Dead Or Alive starring: Nova March 28, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $18.95 You Save: $1.00 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $7.48
I watched this amazing Nova documentary in awe. In part because 'yes' it finally puts to rest the controversy/legend of Princess Anastasia somehow surviving her execution along with the rest of the Romanov royal family. But awe because viewers are given an insight to the fanatical belief systems of people who are so heavily invested in a myth that, even when given irrefutable proof, they choose their myth instead. Shades and premonitions of OJ's jury abound. It goes beyond stunning when you compare the video interviews of the proponents at the start of the documentary stating that if the DNA proves that Anna Anderson is not Anastasia - they would relent with no more argument. They're seem like solid, logical, even-tempered citizens. Then, when the results are finally revealed, their ... Read More

4.NOVA : Back to Chernobyl starring: Nova Series July 27, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $49.99
I work in the nuclear industry and have viewed most of the Chernobyl videos, & documents regarding this industry event. It is a shame that this video is no longer available. This video should be mandatory viewing in all high schools. - FIVE STAR RATING!!

5.This Old Pyramid starring: Nova October 11, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.31
Accurate, shmaccurate. I have wonderful memories of catching this episode of nova on television with my family, and went looking for it on Amazon on a whim. I ordered it and watched it again, and if anything it has gotten better. I guess I don't really care if Nova lied about their methods, or if they inaccurately claim their data supports that of "Egyptology" - (what, the entire field of Egyptology?) - I do however value the oafish and volatile humor of the Massachusetts stonemason, boarishly out of place in his tourist clothes and big sunburnt nose, bonding with his non-English speaking crew while not speaking adequate Arabic himself. Take Mr. This Old House and pair him with a dorky version of Indiana Jones, and you have CHEMISTRY, people, CHEMISTRY! Watch with guilty pleasure as the bookish archaeologist ... Read More

6.Nova: Ice Mummies Return of Iceman starring: Nova-Ice Mummies March 28, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $18.95 You Save: $1.00 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $13.99
A long time ago, an older man covered his tattooed body with a grass cape and put on insulated footwear to trek through the Alps. The RETURN OF THE ICEMAN did not take place until some 5,300 years later when he was found by hikers. The Nova team covers carbon dating and CAT scanning, deciding whether Austria or Italy had the stronger claim to keeping the mummy, and preserving the artifacts and the body. With the closeups of the iceman's tools and weapons and with the impressive mountain scenery, the video is in good company with Cathy East Dubowski's ICE MUMMY: LOST...AND FOUND, David Getz's FROZEN MAN, Ron Knapp's MUMMIES, Don Lessem's THE ICEMAN, Dorothy Hinshaw Patent's SECRETS OF THE ICE MAN, and Charlotte Wilcox's MUMMIES & THEIR MYSTERIES. Some of the scientists in Austria went on to help Dr Johan Reinhard with ... Read More

7.Nova: Lincoln's Secret Weapon starring: Nova November 14, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.46
While the title is incorrect, the material about the Union ironclad Monitor is accurate. For the ship was hardly a secret weapon. As much a submarine as it was a warship, it revolutionized naval warfare and did more to save the Union than is generally historically acknowledged. Furthermore, the battle between it and the Merrimac was witnessed by thousands of soldiers on both sides of the battle. The primary focus of the tape is on a salvage operation being mounted by diving experts of the United States navy. Shortly after the Civil war ended, the Monitor sank in 230 feet of water off the coast of Cape Hatteras in North Carolina. Once the wreck was located, an operation was mounted to recover some of the rapidly deteriorating ship. While modern technology allows for diving to be conducted at that depth, the operation ...

Really, a quite well-done documentary. I found it engaging from a theological, anthropological and (though not my strong suit) scientifically.
