Part of the seven-volume Natural Wonders of the World series, Natural Wonders of the United States takes viewers on a breathtaking journey featuring stunning footage of several World Heritage sites recognized by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization), including Yosemite National Park, the Grand Canyon, and the Florida Everglades. Viewers are treated to gorgeous scenery during various seasons of the year (such as the granite monoliths El Capitan and Half Dome in the Sierra Nevada), while learning about the history of each area and man's impact on (and steps towards preserving) these fragile national treasures. Organized into three separate 12-minute programs (with discussion questions and activities on the DVD version), this video overview does a fine job of whetting the appetite for an “in person” visit. Other titles in the series include Natural Wonders of East Africa, Natural Wonders of Europe, and Natural Island Wonders. Recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (L. Stevens)
