These sound like great items to request your local library purchase. At $49.95 for the first video and $29.95 for each additional video added to a DVD they are pricey. Most are no more than 15 minutes long.
Some of the finest educational films and videos ever made are now available online from the Britannica Video Store, just introduced by Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc.
The new online outlet, located at http://www.tangibledata.com/britannica, features scores of Britannica’s most famous videos on subjects ranging from history and biography to mathematics and science to the humanities.
Eighty-six titles are currently available, including 13 in Spanish, but the total will rise to about 200 this summer. Current titles include biographies of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln; programs on Chaucer and Shakespeare; surveys of Africa, Europe and South America; an instructional video on maps; and science titles on matter and atomic-molecular theory.
