 Highon flash, low on content November 8, 2008
I was hoping to be able to use these for high school anatomy classes, but it is too hard to dissect the meat from the fluff. There is a lot of good information in the video, but it is surrounded by these sensational stories that make good TV but are just filler when it comes to learning the material. I wish I could easily take out the anatomy/physiology information and lose the stories.
 Understanding the Human Body like Never Before October 26, 2008

This series premiered back in March and it blew me away! After watching all 4 episodes, I knew that I going to get it.
I agree with fellow reviewers that this DVD will appeal to students. It's educational, engaging, and very entertaining. The groundbreaking CGI effects displays the human body like never before. Also, the amazing real-life stories are riveting. From the ordinary to the extraordinary, there are great survival lessons to be learned, and how our bodies push to every extreme and challenge.
In addition to this DVD, I also highly recommend NGC's National Geographic - Incredible Human Machine, which further explores the physiological functions and inner organs of the human body. For the life of me, I don't know why it's labeled as being produced in 1975. The documentary premiered late '07, if I recall correctly. Anyway, it complements DC's series very well.
If you want to know why the human body is the greatest machine ever created, then do yourself a favor. Buy these DVDs!
Was looking for supplemental materials for class and SCORED! October 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the first year that I am teaching a human anatomy and physiology class in high school. I was looking for some materials to supplement the usual textbook/memorization that accompanies a course like this. This is an excellent video(s). It's too long to show at one long stretch in class, but broken up, it really helps to break up the monotony that can so easily come to an anatomy class. And it's well done, so the kids enjoy it for it's entertainment value as well. It can be difficult to find videos that are educational and entertaining without being cheesey, but this video accomplishes that task well.
Excellent series! September 15, 2008

This 2-disc set presents 4 episodes focused on different areas in which the human body is "pushing the limits": sight, strength, sensation, & brain power. I have actually shown some clips in my general psychology class as the material is presented in an easy to follow & interesting format -- perfect for freshmen! For anyone who is a Discovery Channel geek like myself, whether you're an educator or it's just a hobby (or both), this is a must-have for your collection. My only regret is that I bought it directly from the Discovery Channel website rather than Amazon.com -- I could've saved about $15!
