National Geographic Hidden Hawaii (2009) - This nature documentary takes an intimate look at the recent home to the Papaha-naumokua-kea Marine National Monument, located in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. A massive sanctuary, the area has remained largely unseen by humans, though it's brimming with rare species of shallow-water marine life, and vast coral reefs.

Audi traces its history back to 1899 when August Horch established a brand, Horch, to compete with Benz and Mercedes. Horch had a dispute with his business partners and he left the company. Since he no longer owned the rights to his own name, he started a new company, naming it “Audi,” Latin for horch or “hark.”

Science is at long last within grasp of one of its "holy grails" – the location of an alien Earth. In the search for this intergalactic haven, astronomers have been shocked by the wide variety of planets around other nearby stars. Some are types of planets totally unknown before this past decade including monstrous gas giants, massive "water worlds", and hulking "super earths" three to five times more massive than our own planet. Scientists have discovered odd ways planets behave: one world is on a highly elliptical orbit, while some planets may have escaped their parent stars altogether, adrift in the murky lanes of the Milky Way.

The Wolfman, a one-hour special, tells the unique story of Shaun Ellis, a man who has given up everything to take a daring and unorthodox approach to understanding wolves’ every move — living and behaving like them, teaching three abandoned wolf pups by example how to survive in the wild. Howling, licking and snarling like them, even eating carcass meat like them.

With fewer than 4,000 black rhinos left in the world today, Emmy-award-winning National Geographic filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert are teaming up with the Botswana Defense Force to launch a massive relocation effort.

Once upon a time, long ago, in a land not so far away, our beloved planet was bunched together into one giant super-continent. It was inhabited by very small and similar creatures. But over the next millions of years, the land began to break apart, and its creatures began to grow apart-becoming bigger and weirder than ever before. Bodies with tiny arms grew massive heads. Tiny heads adorned giant crests. Long necks steadied long tails. The time of the bizarre dinosaur had arrived. Immerse yourself into a lost world of strange beasts that roamed our planet a hundred million years ago - how their stories of life, death, combat, and sex can tell us about evolution and give insight into life on our planet in National Geographic's Bizarre Dinosaurs.

Note for users of proposed collection of 538 high-quality maps from National Geographic various species which were collected for 100 years: geographic, physical, cultural and educational cards with illustrations. Maps of North America, Central and South America, California, Florida, the Arctic and Antarctic, map of the Moon, Mars, Milky Way and more. This compendium is a collection of maps from the official, 8-disc edition of National Geographic: National Geographic Maps: The Complete Collection.

Our planet is heating up and one of the first casualties will be our food. Solutions to this crisis lie within Mother Nature herself in the form of diverse genes found in the wild ancestors of our staple foods - and the man to hunt them down is Dr Ken Street, the Indiana Jones of agriculture. Ken and his team will travel to the land where agriculture began nearly 10,000 years ago. In the remotest parts of the Middle East and Central Asia, the genetic origins of our daily bread and other food still survive. The crops growing here have taken centuries to develop robust genetic traits that allow them to thrive in the harshest of climates. Scientists around the world want access to these genes so they may be integrated into food crops compromised by global warming.

Since 2004 two intrepid explorers have been trekking across the surface of Mars. Surviving in the hostile landscape and persevering in the face of elemental and mechanical difficulties, rovers Spirit and Opportunity now face the final stretch of their mission.

Death Valley National Park is a land of extremes. It's the driest place in the United States, the lowest place in the Western Hemisphere and, at one time, the hottest single location recorded on earth. Yet here–in this seemingly inhospitable chasm–life thrives. More than 1,000 species of plant call this park home. And, several animal species here live nowhere else on Earth.

Join leading astronomers on a visual journey beyond our solar system in search of planets like Earth. Using CGI animation, we’ll explore bizarre worlds that stretch our imagination: planets with iron rain and hot ice, with diamonds everywhere, and endless oceans of gas. Planets with abnormal orbital patterns and planets with no pattern at all that drift alone in the Milky Way. Planets so strange we never could have predicted them before. Could life exist there?

Recycling gets a makeover with a quirky group of young "eco-capitalists" at TerraCycle, Inc. Using only materials found in the trash, the team will transform cereal boxes into notebooks, newspaper into pencils and cookie wrappers into kites.

Designed to forge new routes between the Hawaiian islands, the massive Hawaii Super Ferry combines innovation with stability and speed. Can this ambitious design be turned into a functional ferry?

California's Big Sur coastline is one of the most pristine wildernesses on Earth. This scenic meeting of land and sea boasts more than 200,000 acres of prime wildlife habitat - almost all of it undisturbed by humans. So why has it been only in the last few years that this rare ecosystem has experienced an explosion in wildlife? As we solve the mystery of why Big Sur is the newest beacon for wildlife in the West, we'll soar over, plunge into and crawl through scenes of spectacular beauty.

New science is changing everything we thought we knew about the world’s most famous and feared dinosaur. With the help of high-tech imaging and the almost miraculous discovery of 70 million-year-old T. Rex soft tissue, scientists are getting closer to our planet’s largest predator than ever before. We’ll join some of the world’s top scientists for a one hour look at who Tyrannosaurus Rex really was, from new insights into the hunting techniques that made this “tyrant lizard” a super predator to the miraculous discovery of an expectant dino mommy named “Bob.” Follow dinosaur builder Hall Train and renowned paleoartist Jason Brougham as they try to create the world's most accurate mechanical replica of a walking juvenile T-Rex.

North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a joint organization of two countries in North America – Canada and the United States that provides aerospace warning, air sovereignty and defense for North America, except Mexico.[3] It was founded on May 12, 1958 as a joint command between the governments of the Dominion of Canada and the United States, as the North American Air Defense Command. Its main technical facility has been the Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center in Colorado, and for this reason NORAD is sometimes unofficially referred to as Cheyenne Mountain. In addition, in Canada East and Canada West Sector Air Operations Control Centres are located in the underground complex at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) North Bay in Ontario in Canada

On the edge of the Canadian Arctic, the frigid Ekati Diamond Mine is one of the most remote mines on earth. To work in this brutal sub-Arctic land, Ekati demands some of the world's fiercest digging tools: a DeMag 655 hydraulic shovel so powerful that it scoops the weight of 900 school buses every hour, a Cat 793C haul truck so strong that it can carry the weight of three dozen elephants in one trip and enough explosives to demolish 50,000 tons of frozen granite in a single day. Diamond Diggers explores the volcanic history and incredible discovery of the frozen Ekati Mine, the inner workings of its monster machines that move mountains of gem-studded earth, and the extreme conditions braved by workers to unearth nearly five million carats of diamonds each year.
