地球造人

如果你对地球的脾气感到好奇，又不想被干巴巴的数据砸晕，《地球造人》会是很好的选择。主持人Iain Stewart本身就是地质学家，他的解说刻意保持着克制而富有论证张力的语速，在展示比如红海裂谷如何塑造亚伯拉罕诸教发源地时，会搭配航拍断层剖面与模拟动画的交叉剪辑，使抽象的地壳运动具备了戏剧性的逻辑递进。这种“地球即推手”的线性叙事，避免了传统历史纪录片的人物罗列，转而让地质运动成为暗线主角。 这部纪录片没有炫目的特效堆砌，而是以扎实的实地考察和清晰的动画还原，让地质演变变得像侦探破案般引人入胜。 每集从一个地貌切入，像剥洋葱一样慢慢揭开文明背后的地理密码——尼罗河的水位变化竟然跟法老们的信仰挂钩，这你没想到吧？节奏紧凑又有悬念，看的时候老想“然后呢”。片子不讲大道理，而是带你看真实的地貌——尼罗河怎么让古埃及人算准了历法、火山喷发怎么帮罗马人搞出了混凝土，每集都有这种“原来如此”的瞬间。

　　BBC最新纪录片，讲述地球的力量如何改变了人类的历史。2010年1月19日首播，共播出了5集：'Water'，'Deep Earth', 'Wind', 'Fire'，'Human Planet'。节目中，Iain Stewart教授带领观众探究几个世纪以来，地质学、地理学和气候是如何影响人类生活的。
　　我们的星球拥有惊人的力量，但却很少在教科书中被提起。这个系列节目第一次通过电视展现地球的神奇力量对人类发展的影响。节目将历史故事的讲述和炫目的摄影镜头紧密结合，给我们呈现一幅原汁原味的人类历史图景。
　　Iain Stewart tells the epic story of how the planet has shaped our history. With
　　spectacular images, surprising stories and a compelling narrative, the series discovers the central role played in human history by four different planetary forces.
　　Episode 1: Water
　　Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. This time he explores our complex relationship with water. Visiting spectacular locations in Iceland, the Middle East and India, Iain shows how control over water has been central to human existence. He takes a precarious flight in a motorised paraglider to experience the cycle of freshwater that we depend on, discovers how villagers in the foothills of the Himalayas have built a living bridge to cope with the monsoon, and visits Egypt to reveal the secret of the pharaohs' success. Throughout history, success has depended on our ability to adapt to and control constantly shifting sources of water.
　　Episode 2: Deep Earth
　　Iain Stewart tells the epic story of how the planet has shaped our history. With spectacular images, surprising stories and a compelling narrative, the series discovers the central role played in human history by four different planetary forces. In this first episode, Iain explores the relationship between the deep Earth and the development of human civilisation. He visits an extraordinary crystal cave in Mexico, drops down a hole in the Iranian desert and crawls through seven-thousand-year-old tunnels in Israel. His exploration reveals that throughout history, our ancestors were strangely drawn to fault lines, areas which connect the surface with the deep interior of the planet. These fault lines gave access to important resources, but also brought with them great danger.
　　Episode 3: Wind
　　Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. Iain sets sail on one of the fastest racing boats ever built to explore the story of our turbulent relationship with the wind. Travelling to iconic locations including the Sahara desert, the coast of West Africa and the South Pacific, Iain discovers how people have exploited the power of the wind for thousands of years. The wind is a force which at first sight appears chaotic. But the patterns that lie within the atmosphere have shaped the destiny of continents, and lie at the heart of some of the greatest turning points in human history.
　　Episode 4: Fire
　　Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. Iain explores man's relationship with fire. He begins by embarking on an extraordinary encounter with this terrifying force of nature - a walk right through the heart of a raging fire. Fire has long been our main source of energy and Iain shows how this meant that the planet played a crucial role in Britain's industrial revolution, whilst holding China's development back. Along the way he dives in a mysterious lake in Oregon, climbs a glacier of salt, crawls through an extraordinary cave in Iran and takes a therapeutic bath in crude oil.
　　Episode 5: Human Planet
　　Series in which Professor Iain Stewart looks at how four geological forces have shaped human history. He explores the most recently established force, humans. It's easy to think of the human impact on the planet as a negative one, but as Iain discovers, this isn't always the case. It is clear that humans have unprecedented control over many of the planet's geological cycles; the question is, how will the human race use this power?
