风暴追逐者、幸存者和急救人员讲述了他们在火山、龙卷风、飓风和地震中的悲惨经历。
我们将尝试解释数学，并非学校里教的那样，而是一种诗意的、神秘的思维结构。它强调逻辑，即数学让我们掌握的现实中的实际应用。这个系列旨在让好奇的观众发现数学新奇的一面，让他们觉得数学是思考的一部分，是文化的一部分。
3D技术揭示了一个全新的层面，在植物的生命，从最离奇最美丽的。在这种耸人听闻的系列，拍摄超过一年的过程中，戴维·阿滕伯勒探索他们迷人的世界。3D微距摄影中使用三维时间推移和开拓技术，他从他们的土地上开始追溯其性质的重要场所今天，一路上露出新的启示。他走到他们从我们的时间尺度，揭示植物的本色，是每一个位动态和积极的作为动物的生物。大卫发现这是肉眼看不见的微观世界，昆虫饲料和品种，花的荧光和植物相互沟通与动物利用气味和声音。他会见了非凡的动物和真菌有牢不可破的关系，与植物的世界，从天蛾和蝙蝠微小的箭毒蛙...
Ancient Worlds is about people and places, politics and economics, art and war, trade and technology, but above all it’s the story of the painful birth and difficult growth of a radical idea first tried and tested some six thousand years ago, and which we are still struggling with today; civilisation. Civilisation has not come easily; it’s something we’ve had to fight hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain, and the greatest threats to it have come from our own talents for destruction. But when we’ve managed to get it right, the benefits have been enormous. When we talk about the ancient world we tend to think of rare and exotic artefacts or the monumental remains of epic architecture; but these are just the empty shells that got left behind when the tide of history turned! The living creatures, the civilisations, that once inhabited these shells were rarely if ever static or stately; they were dynamic, chaotic, and always threatening to spin out of control, because civilisation is based on an improbable idea; that strangers can live and work together in dense urban settings, forging new allegiances that replace the natural ties of family, clan or tribe. It’s an idea we’re still coming to terms with today, but one of the best ways to understand the challenges that are involved is to look at how our ancestors tackled them the first time around. From ancient Iraq to Imperial Rome, Ancient Worlds examines how our ancestors struggled with the levers of religion and politics, art and culture, war and diplomacy, technology and trade in order to keep the complex machinery of their civilisations turning over. Their insights and blind-spots, their breakthroughs and dead ends, their triumphs and disasters are the milestones on the long and winding road that leads directly from their ancient to our modern world.
