Discovery Channel: Best of Collection, Volume 4 DVD - 5 Disc Set (Mythbusters: Outakes and Revealed / Prehistoric Park: T-Rex & Mammoth / Deadliest Catch: Best of Season 2 / Panda is Born & Baby Panda's First Year / 2057: The Body. The City. The World)

I bought this collection to use in teaching my communication courses at the graduate level.I show segments from the 2057s in my Human Communication on the Internet course. Some students find some of the ideas disturbing, but all students find the information thought-provoking. The presentations of the 2057s are a little cheezy, but the content is great. The 2057s DVDs are a great way to help students picture the possible future of the Internet and computer use.The giant panda special is one of the best ever made. Now follow me on this, if my veterinarian-daughter helps with the artificial insemination, then she's at least a little bit the father, and I'm the grandmother. (grin) They filmed this baby's life from planning through the first year, and it is the best documentary done on the topic of the giant panda. Plus, he's the cutest grandbaby ever!I use Mythbusters as discussion prompts for teaching experimental research. By showing segments by these guys--and doing some of the experiments in class. We have a fun way to discuss the scientific method, variables, and other principles from the research. The students love the Myth Busters, and it makes an excellent prompt for discussing research and experimentation.

What to expect. Five DVDs, with one, two or three episodes on each. The Deadliest Catch has one episode the season finale, a recap of what happened during that season of the show. The Panda DVD tells the story of Pandas being successfully bred at the National Zoo in Washington D.C. And the Panda developed during his first year. Prehistoric Park has Nigel Marvin time traveling to end of the age of dinosaurs to collect dinosaurs and to the ice age to collect megafuana. Two special episodes of Mythbusters. And three episodes of the science fiction drama/documentary miniseries 2057. Each episode of 2057 is centered around science fiction drama edited with cuts about the science and technology that are mentioned in the drama. My favorite episode has to be "The City" where a teenager hacks into his hometown's civil computer network system and unintentionally creates all manner of mayhem.

This collection has a little bit of everything in it so it is sure to be entertaining for anyone who buys it. I love it.
