I have been looking online to find copies of the wonderful videos done
by John Ramsay and Chris Hawkesworth on structure in the Alps, as part of
the EARTH EXPLORED series from the BBC-Open University about three decades
ago. Our old VHS copies are now too worn and useless.
Does anyone have good copies of these or know where we might obtain them,
either to purchase or to "rent" and make copies?
I also would like everyone to consider the value of videos covering classical or
other exemplar sites of structural freatures. Still photos are OK but nothing
short of actually visiting can compare with our students seeing the field context
of what we teach. The EE example mentioned above proves that nothing has to be
elaborate or too complex. Unfortunately, most of the video programming done
on geology these days is commercial, poorly narrated and of course, not of all
we desire in locations. For example, the US-based series EARTH REVEALED that
came later tan EE is too broad, too basic and not well produced.
As we had gotten response to the inquiry about animations of models, perhaps the
list can give good input concerning what videos are already available.
Thanks, Jeff
