Non-Fiction DVDs

Nothing worth watching on television tonight? Why not learn something while also being entertained?! Borrow some of the Kelley Library's many non-fiction DVDs and enjoy them with your family.

I recommend the History Channel series, How the Earth Was Made. (The series is comprised of twelve episodes on four disks.) Who knew Geology could be so fascinating?!

Improvements in technology and research over the past few decades have greatly advanced our understanding of how the Earth was formed, and how it continues to move and change today.  Many geological wonders are explained -- both here in the United States (the Great Lakes, San Andreas fault line, Hawaiian Islands) and around the world (the Swiss Alps, Loch Ness, Krakatoa).

Did you know that beneath Yellowstone National Park is a super volcano that feeds the many hot pools and geysers there?!

Other non-fiction DVD topics include history, travel, documentary, animals, music, comedy, sports; and for the more ambitious: exercise, dance, yoga, home-improvement, etc. Enjoy one tonight!
