David Attenborough's Private Life of Plants has an episode that is very
similar to ***ual Encounters. The narration is scientifically accurate
(mostly), but without the cheesy quasi-lecherous innuendo as ***ual
Encounters. Also the examples are mostly identical or very similar. I
recently purchased a copy of Private Life from someone who advertises on
Amazon.com (Amazon Marketplace?). It was definitely worth the money, and
it does work on our DVD player.
If anyone knows of a DVD source for ***ual Encounters, I would like to
hear about it.
I recently discovered the Rotten World. I wish I had known about it
earlier.

Subject: [Plant-education] Videos for Botany Class
I teach the third class in our introductory biology series that covers
plant biology and ecology. Išve inherited the course and they use several
videos that are old.
The Rotten World Around Us--- great video but out of print and our copy is
slowly deteriorating. Any suggestions of replacements?
***ual Encounters of a Floral Kind- great video, but again aging.
The Green Machine< this covers basics about plant anatomy and physiology
but
is old, tired and not that well done. I would love to find something else
that covers interesting ideas about the major themes of plant biology.
Genetic Time Bomb< about genetic diversity in crop plants . Again a very
good video but was made in the 1980šs, 1990šs and is out of date. Any
ideas
of what might replace it?
Cadillac Desert: The last oasis< a good video about world wide water
issues,
but also 10 years old and out of date. Any replacement ideas?
Further if there is anything you show that you think does a particularly
good job of conveying a concept, I would appreciate your thoughts.
