Fascinating microphotographyand animated graphics show the
development of a tiny salamanderegg from a single cell to larva. Keyterms for each phase are provided,and the changing embryo isviewed from several angles,providing a clear look into thisintricate life process.CD-ROM + video + ATM, $69.95Ages 15 - 18, order 1-8266NL102
The Lungs
Using typical land mammals asexamples...the horse, sheep,
and dog...this film focuses on lungand air passages. It demonstratesthat the respiratory system ofmammals enables exchange ofgases between blood and externalenvironment.
The lung's structure is shownthrough dissection of a sheep'slung.

The Human Brain
Over the centuries, humans have accomplished remarkable feats
in science, technology, art andculture. What has helped ussucceed in these areas over allother animals on the earth? Theanswer is, the human brain, whichis considered to be the mostpowerful computing machine inthe world. This fascinating program explains why.
Intricate, microscopic photography, graphics and a cross sectional view of an actual human brain show the unique structural componentsfound within the brain, while thenarration explains theircorresponding functions.
The brain's profound evolutionarydevelopment is compared to thatof other vertebrates, and its phases of development within a gestatingfetus are explored.
