American Almanacs: A Living History DVD and VHS
American Almanacs: A Living History. If you are interested in the science behind predictions and in learning how you too can predict things -- this groundbreaking program is for you!
Breathtaking photography, beautiful scenery and rare historical images escort you during a journey through the history of almanacs and timekeeping, from prehistoric cave walls to the 21st century.
Discover how the secrets of ancient civilizations - Mayan, Aztec, Egyptian, Native American and African - became the foundation for early American almanacs, whose publishers then ignited the American Revolution!
Was the publisher of Poor Richard's Almanac one of the country's first con artists? Is there a scientific basis for almanac weather folklore? Does the Earth 'exhale' during a full moon? Scientists, astronomers, weather forecasters, historians and others explore the answers.
You'll also delve into the mysterious world of long-range weather forecasting and learn what modern science has to say about hunting, fishing, digging fence posts and planting gardens by the moon! All this and more in American Almanacs: A Living History.
As a bonus, 'Martha Matilda,' from the beloved Keeping Hearth and Home book series, brings you 100-year-old gardening techniques, household tips, recipes and natural remedies that still work!
A first of its kind program, American Almanacs: A Living History, was written and produced by award-winning television and print journalists under the direction of accomplished film and television documentary directors, whose work has been showcased in theaters, on home video and on television networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, CNBC, PBS, Fox, CNN, the BBC, A & E and the History Channel.
