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.

Not that it was awful, it was just - useless. I saw lots of supposition about supposed traditions, which by the way, have little or no standing in real history. But of course, there could not have been any code in DaVinci's work unless it was put there from a much later time that knows about back masking and making something out of lots of gibberish nothings. It was VERY unfortunate that one with the credibility and class of Patrick McKnee was shouldered with the host position. The lack of class in production of the piece, the lack of accurate historical evidence and the lack of a clear line from the offered "evidence" to the conclusion (that there is a connection between DaVinci and a code secreted in his work, etc.) is very bad.

Wolverine. The name stirs images of the wild, the savage the untamable. Legend paints it as a solitary, blood-thirsty killer who roams the icy heart of the frozen north, taking down prey as large as moose and crushing bones to powder with its powerful jaws. But there is another image of the wolverine that is just beginning to emerge, one that is far more complex than its reputation suggests. Hard-wired to endure an environment of scarcity, wolverines are among the most efficient and resourceful carnivores on Earth. Few people are tough enough to chase this phantom, but those who’ve entered their world have found a true marvel of the wilderness, with a fierce appetite for survival… and for surprise.

Playing cards are an everyday object used for gambling and game playing the world over. But the familiar deck of cards conceals hidden meanings that have links to secret societies and the occult. Why are there four suits and why hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs? What is the significance of the picture cards? What is the meaning of the symbolism of the Tarot? We look beneath the surface of the playing card and reveal an intriguing journey from their much disputed roots in China, Persia, and Egypt. And we uncover the secrets of card design, investigating rumored Masonic links and the way the design has changed to mirror the cultures and beliefs of the people who used them through the ages. What emerges is an extraordinary story that reveals the mysteries and meanings of the humble playing card–a history that is intimately entwined with the occult, voodoo, and man's fascination with mystical beliefs.

Though sociobiology was a controversial new discipline at the time, today's science shows that genes do play a role in aspects of behavior.

Female jumping spiders will attack and eat anything that moves. This often includes males who may be courting them. So, if a male falls short in convincing a female that he will be a good mate, he may become lunch. This is a compelling reason for males to work hard in perfecting their courtship dances. In the mating game, it is not always “do or die,” but the penalties can be severe, and there is no single tried and true approach when it comes to the fascinating strategy of attracting a mate. Charles Darwin called it “sexual selection.” NATURE is calling it What Females Want and Males Will Do for love — a two-part miniseries about sexual selection.

The Second World War In Colour is a three-part documentary which reveals hours of previously unseen colour film of World War II. As almost all newsreel film was shot in black and white, this DVD offers a completely new portrait of the war. Dramatic colour footage from as early as 1933 shows home movies of Adolf Hitler and his cohorts, the devastation wrought by the Blitzkrieg, life on the home front, D-Day and the Allied invasion of France, British bombers defying German fighters, the horror of the Holocaust that troops met as they entered Germany, and the jubilation of the final Allied victory. With John Thaw's narration intercut with spoken accounts from the letters and diaries of those who fought, those who survived, and those the war claimed as victims, this documentary is an extraordinary remembrance of a monumental time in world history.
