DRAWN FROM NATURE: JOHN JAMES AUDUBON (English)
The story of John James Audubon is a dramatic and surprising one. The history of his life reveals much about his era and his nation - he was at once a merchant, artist, businessman, woodsman and scientist - a one-man compendium of American culture of his time. His tale is larger than life, and his legacy lives on in the conservation movement of today. (Lawrence Hott, 2006)
RETURNING HOME: BRINGING THE COMMON MURRE BACK TO DEVIL'S SLIDE ROCK (English)
In 1986, an oil spill off the coast of California between San Francisco and Monterey killed an estimated 10,000 sea birds, including over 6,000 Common Murres, a small diving seabird native to Northern California. The breeding colony of Murres on Devil's Slide Rock was wiped out, but a small group of scientists from various government and nonprofit groups was determined to bring the Murres back to the rock. Returning Home documents their innovative restoration project and shows how a small group of dedicated people really can make a big difference. (Kevin White, 2000/2006)
