The Treasure Of Our National Parks

Oct-9-2009 By Barbara Zak

Ken Burn’s highly-anticipated documentary THE NATIONAL PARKS: AMERICA’S BEST IDEA arrived in stores, on DVD and Blu-ray October 6, 2009 from PBS Home Video and Paramount Home Entertainment.  It is loaded with bonus material, including a behind-the-scenes making of a featurette, contemporary stories from the National Parks, outtakes and much more.

Directed by Burns and co-produced with his longtime colleague Dayton Duncan, who also wrote the script, the 12-hour film epic, is the story of an idea that is uniquely American.  We are indeed fortunate, to have the most special places in the nation preserved, not for royalty or the rich, but for everyone. Filmed over the course of more than six years,it showcases,some of nature’s most spectacular locales — from Acadia to Yosemite, Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon, the Everglades of Florida to the Gates of the Arctic in Alaska.  It is a story of people from every conceivable background: rich and poor; famous and unknown; soldiers and scientists; natives and newcomers; idealists, artists and entrepreneurs; people who were willing to devote themselves to saving some precious portion of the land they loved, and in doing so, reminded their fellow citizens of the full and true meaning of democracy.

The Winner(s) of “Earth”!

Sep-5-2009 By Barbara Zak

Update:

I didn’t know when I posted the winner’s here on Saturday, that I could have three!  I had asked on Thursday, but didn’t hear back until this morning.

So, Congratulations goes to Shelly Thomas,  of the blog Futurism Now.    Do stop by and check it out.  It’s full of futurism and opinion, in an interesting and enjoyable read.

I enjoy making people happy.  I just wish I could have given “Earth” to everyone who entered.  It is a wonderful DVD!

———————————————————————

I’ll admit I love giving things away, so it is difficult for me to choose just one winner.  So, it is with great pleasure, I have chosen two winners to receive the “Earth” DVD.

Congratulations to Bob Johnson, of the wonderful blog Blackholes and Astrostuff.  Please stop by and visit him.

Congratulations, also goes to Connie Foggles, and her wonderful blog brainfoggles.  Another fun blog, to check out and visit.

Both of these people are nature lover’s, whom I’m sure will enjoy this spectacular DVD!

They have 48 hours to respond, and receive their prize!
