As much as nature documentaries are informative and at times amazing to watch...?

I feel for you because I'm just the same. Nature has this way of making you cringe!! I would enjoy something less gory, and more almost animated. You're not a wimp just care about animals.

I noticed you answered a question about carbon dating. One of the most fascinating combinations of history and science (and of course my own passionate interest) is Geology. There's a few billion more years of history to study than the history majors have. As for science, the coolest part about geology is that it overlaps EVERY other field of science. There is biology (paleontology), chemistry (geochemistry), biogeochemistry, DNA analysis, physics, mathematics, geography, hydrology, or you can even study other planets!

Well, if you are really interested in knowing about his life and his work, I strongly recomend you to watch the film "Hawking". It is a really great show. I too also admire him a lot. He is still alive till today.

A Lion in the House - Real life PBS documentary that follows five families struggling with the devastating effects of childhood cancer. Extremely gut wrenching as we watch three children lose their battle and the desperation of parents when they realize that there is nothing left to be done. The children are astonishing and beautiful. If you have a shred of compassion, than this one will haunt you.\n\nhttp://www.pbs.org/independentlens/lioninthehouse/index.htm

O..M..G. They are amazing =) I imagine on youtube there are probably videos and stuff, but definitely, if you have chance to go see them, take advantage of it!

for the same reason there are a multitude of books on any natural phenomenon, there is always new things to learn about them. Personally though, I am more into learning through experience :)

I think that film documentaries tend to appeal to a wider audience and the makers know that they will make money and perhaps cause a stir if the documentary gets a cinema release. Some "made for tv" documentaries would not be worth putting on in cinemas, as not enough people would pay to see them.

Visit diverse places.  Take biology, especially ecology classes.  Finally keep your mind open!

I watched a show on the history channel last night and it talked about "darkening" From what I heard it still balances nature. The program said without "darkening" the "global warming" rate would increase 5-10 fold. The whole concept is interesting but I'd need to hear more.\n\nJason

I used to watch it over the summer when I had directv. I didnt always believe everything I saw, but that channel would have alot of fascinating documentaries on life in the middle east for women and children and the such and islam and different things.

I don't watch TV that much but whenever Amazing Race & Survivor is on, I am glued in my seat! It's the same with Animal Planet's Funniest Animal Videos & Rescue shows such us, Animal Cops or Animal Precinct. \nI like watching documentary shows from Discovery Channels, National Geographic, History Channel or from Military Channel.I'll even have classes to take that I need to sit down and watch TV and it's about U.S. History, it's being shown in PBS...

How about...the history of small countries in Southeast Asia?  Or the pleasures of bicycling?  The Punic Wars?  Canadians' ideas about the US?  Life in Japan?  Unique wildlife of Australia?  Modern-day piracy in the Straits of Malacca?\nThat's all I can think of in 1 1/2 minutes.
