What do historians know about the earliest farmers and herders, and the evolution of cities? Newly emerging evidence about the
Global 3000 is Deutsche Welle's weekly magazine that explores the intersection of global development and the environmental and social conditions of the diverse cultures of the world. In each program, host Michaela Kufner presents three to four video-rich segments that profile a different part of the planet where man's quest for economic and industrial strength is jeopardizing the ecosystems and the social and economic structures of people thousands of miles away. The program not only documents where those struggles are taking place - but how some groups and individuals are finding solutions to the growing problems of global development.
Singapore: Gateway to Southeast Asia
A consumer revolution was fueled by coal, public transportation, and new city services.n
How did the many paths of human migration people the planet? From their origins on the African continent, humans have spread across the globe. This unit explores how and why early humans moved across Africa, Eurasia, and the Americas, based on recent studies in archaeology and linguistics.
The Enlightenment brought new ideals and a new notion of selfhood to the American colonies. This program begins with an examination of the importance of the trope of the self-made man in Benjamin Franklin
Systems of synchronization occur throughout the animate and inanimate world. The regular beating of the human heart, the swaying and near collapse of the Millennium Bridge, the simultaneous flashing of gangs of fireflies in Southeast Asia: these varied phenomena all share the property of spontaneous synchronization. This unit shows how synchronization can be analyzed, studied, and modeled via the mathematics of differential equations, an outgrowth of calculus, and the application of these ideas toward understanding the workings of the heart.
Watch Videos 11 and 12 in the 10th session for grade 6–8 teachers. Explore how the concepts developed in this course can be applied through case studies of grade 6–8 teachers (former course participants) who have adapted their new knowledge to their classrooms.
Species are being lost at a rapid rate in rainforests and coral reefs. Yet many species still have not been discovered. Tropical scientists struggle to keep ahead of the bulldozers as they work to understand this complex ecosystem. And an ocean biologist predicts the death of life and the "rise of slime" in the sea. How can we protect the biodiversity of these vulnerable ecosystems?

In Good Shape is the weekly health show on DW, covering all aspects of health care: what's new in medical treatment, alternative medicine, wellness and fitness - as well as nutrition and beauty. In our studio interview we discuss topics in-depth with specialists, and offer you opportunities to pose your own questions. Dr. Carsten Lekutat and Stefanie Suren are alternate hosts of the program and will provide a combination of video-rich features and insightful interviews that grapple with some of the larger issues in medical treatment and healthcare. As an interactive feature of the program we also ask viewers to request a program topic Dr. Carsten Lekutat is a qualified General Practitioner and works as a doctor in Berlin. He is also responsible for training medical students at the Berlin Charite hospital. Stefanie Suren is executive producer and presenter of In Good Shape. 'Keep it simple and straightforward' - that is her goal as a reporter, producer and presenter.
This episode of GED Connection focuses on formulas. Formulas are written in the language of algebra using letters to stand for numbers. These letters are called variables. A list of formulas will be supplied to the GED test taker but it is important to understand what the formulas mean in order to put them to use. The formulas covered in this program are: the formula for the area of a rectangle, how to calculate distance, circumference of a circle, area of a circle, volume of an object, and areas of two separate shapes or odd shapes. An architect shows the viewer how she uses algebraic formulas to calculate the volume of a basement in an ancient building; and a construction manager goes through a series of formulas as he calculates the volume of a cylindrical hole and the cost of the concrete to fill it.
Earth's essential systems are being stressed in many ways. There are many tipping points in the environment, beyond which there could be serious consequences. Will human ingenuity, resiliency, and cooperation save us from the worst outcomes of our global experiment?
