From the BBC's internationally renowned, award-winning Natural
History unit comes the first release in an extraordinarily ambitious
undertaking, BBC Atlas of the Natural World, a unique survey of life on
Earth in all its remarkable richness and beauty.
This six-disc set brings together four landmark BBC series that
combine to give one of the most comprehensive portraits of the Western
Hemisphere and Antarctica ever assembled. From the teeming wildlife and
rich geography of the Americas to the inhospitably frozen landscape at
the bottom of the world, from the spectacular rainforests of South
America to the remarkable variety of plant and animal species in Central
America and the Caribbean, from the songs of the Native Americans to the
migration of the Emperor Penguin, these programs offer remarkable
insight into the complex relationship between humans, wildlife, and
nature on these three continents and in the waters that surround them.
