Renowned paleontologist Kirk Johnson takes us on an epic adventure through time at the polar extremes of our planet. Following a trail of strange fossils found in all the wrong places—beech trees in Antarctica, hippo-like mammals in the Arctic—Johnson uncovers the bizarre history of the poles, from miles-high ice sheets to warm polar forests teeming with life. What caused such dramatic changes at the ends of the Earth? And what can the past reveal about our planet’s climate today—and in the future?

Cada cierto tiempo emerge un gigante en el campo de la ciencia, alguien que transciende las ajustadas fronteras de una línea de investigación especifica y transforma nuestra perspectiva del mundo, Edward Osborne Wilson es uno de esos hombres, su temprana fascinación por las hormigas fue el comienzo de una deslumbrante carrera científica que le llevo a levantar sus ojos de la superficie de la tierra para explicar el magnifico orden de la vida misma. Cuando escribió su libro “Sociobiología”, trazando los orígenes del comportamiento animal social de las hormigas a los humanos, no podía llegar a imaginarse la polémica que originaría. La biología evolutiva no había provocado un debate tan encendido desde “El origen de las especies” de Charles Darwin.

Could scientists recreate Hollywood's Jurassic Park using 100-million-year-old dinosaur DNA? Director Steven Spielberg, author Michael Crichton, actor Jeff Goldblum, and a host of scientific experts answer this compelling question in the award-winning Nova documentary, The Real Jurassic Park. Behind-the-scenes clips, interviews, and demonstrations with leading paleontologists investigate the viability of reviving the extinct species. All phases of logistics are addressed, including extracting prehistoric insect DNA, creating embryos for placement in host eggs, and more. The scientific analysis of the process leads to the examination of the ethics of recreating a vanished life form.
