It also shows how, with proper use, children can benefit even from some of the things parents may not like about television. #6: And We Were Sad, Remember? Theme: "Death" This program shows how our attempts to conceal death from children are not only ineffective, but harmful to children. It shows why children need to know about death, and how parents can help children deal with death when it happens. #7: Love Me and Leave Me Theme: "Attachment and Independence" This program focuses on the bond between parent and child. It shows how this bond forms, and how it affects the development of the child. Practical suggestions are offered for making separations between parent and child easier. #8: Spare the Rod Theme: "Discipline" This program attempts to give some perspective to the subject of discipline and some of the different disciplinary techniques available to parents. Most importantly, it provides guidelines for deciding among these different techniques. #9: What's Cooking? Theme: "Food Habits" This program explores how young children acquire their diet likes and dislikes, their feelings about food and their patterns of eating. #10: True Blue Theme: "Play and Fantasy" This program illustrates why children put so much energy into play, what play means, what parents can do to encourage and support their children's play, and how they too can benefit from this important aspect of growth. #11: I Love You When You're Good Theme: "Security and Acceptance" This program talks about how parents influence the development of self-worth and security in children. Even when parents love them, children may be getting a different message. The program demonstrates that there are special things parents can do to help their children feel loved. #12: The Secret of Little Ned Theme: "Listening to Children" Listening "between the lines" is explored in this program, showing the different ideas and feelings young children have to talk about, the way in which they express their concerns, and how parents can hear and respond to what they are saying. #13: Tightrope Theme: "Parenting Extremes" This program demonstrates how attitudes toward childrearing have changed over the past fifty years and how children are affected by some extreme approaches. It shows in parenting, as in many other areas, moderation is the best rule. #14: New Kid on the Block Theme: "Social Skills" This program illustrates what social skills are, how young children acquire them, and some ways parents can make this learning possible. #15: The Scratching Pole Theme: "Developmental Tasks" This program is about the concept of developmental tasks. Parents will be shown how to gain practice interpreting children's behavior in terms of developmental tasks and will learn ways they can build upon their children's desire to grow up. #16: Hairy Scary Theme: "Childhood Fears" This program describes some of the fears that young children experience. It suggests reasons why children become afraid and ways their parents can help them face and overcome these fears. #17: There Comes a Time Theme: "Societal Support" This program discusses some of the things parents need in order to do a good job raising their children, some resources that are available to meet these needs, and some ways in which parents can go about finding the help they need. #18: Stacking the Deck Theme: "Teaching Competence" This program shows how each of us develops self-confidence or self-doubt, and how we learn whether or not we are competent. Some guidelines and special activities for increasing competence in children are also included. #19: Christinitas Theme: "Creativity" The program defines creativity in its broadest sense. It tries to show that people of all occupations and ages can think creatively. #20: I'll Dance at Your Wedding Theme: "Handicaps" This program gives a brief introduction to the kinds of handicapping conditions and the sources of help for handicapped children and their families. It demonstrates that the way handicapped children feel about themselves and the way others respond to them helps to determine how fully these children develop. #21: Act Two Theme: "Stepparenting" When a stepfamily comes into being, its members are likely to feel anxiety and uncertainty as well as joy and anticipation. Some tension may be a result of the pain caused by divorce or death before the stepfamily began. This program shows how talking about these feelings and involving children in physical preparations for a new family life help to lessen tension and bind the family together. #22: Tangled Webs Theme: "Problem Behavior" This program dramatizes the fact that punishment alone may aggravate a problem behavior, but that looking for the cause behind the behavior and dealing with it is more likely to eliminate the problem. #23: Double Exposure Theme: "Values" This program shows parents how strongly influenced children are by their values and serves to remind them to be sure that what they say is consistent with what they do. Parents also help children develop clear values when they encourage them to examine their own beliefs and act accordingly. #24: From A to Zach Theme: "Preparing Children for School" This episode encourages parents to prepare children for their new school experiences by telling them what is expected of them ahead of time. The start of formal schooling is a big step for both parents and children, and with a positive attitude and preparation - an exciting and rewarding step, too. #25: On The Brink Theme: "Child Abuse" This dramatization demonstrates why it is often said that there are two victims in child abuse - the child and the parent. Today there are many sources of help for abusing parents. As seen here, one of the most effective is the support of a friend. #26: If You Knew April Theme: "Know Thy Child" Parents have a lot of help today - a whole backup team of teachers, doctors, psychologists, and other specialists to help them provide the best for their children. But, because they have been on the scene since the beginning, parents have unique knowledge about their children. In this program, we see how parents should use this knowledge to interpret what is said about their children in the mass media, school, and health services. The expertise of parents should be shared with the specialists who can then help them raise their children. #27: Pre-Op! Theme: "Illness and Hospitalization" Children have emotional as well as physical needs when they are sick, injured, or receive medical attention. Easing their fears and anxieties is an important part of treating their illness or injury. As seen in this program, parents need to be aware that their own feelings and reactions may be frightening their children. Also, parents, doctors, and nurses should explain what they are doing and why because children feel more secure when they understand what is happening to their bodies. #28: War and Peace Theme: "Sibling Relationships" This program shows that be interfering and trying to settle sibling squabbles, parents may just make the situation worse. They are, in fact, more likely to minimize sibling rivalry by dealing with its underlying causes. #29: On Our Own Theme: "Responsibility" This episode demonstrates that children learn to be responsible when their parents set a good example, expect them to give as well as receive, and show them how to do things themselves. Most children are capable of taking on more responsibility for themselves and others than they are given. #30: Pals? Theme: "Peers" As dramatized in this episode, parents have the responsibility of helping a child to follow his or her own beliefs despite peer pressure to do otherwise by helping to find ways they can assert themselves or even leave a peer group.

The wooden watering tub and horse-drawn sled that Ben makes for his neighbors are a unique link with an earlier age. Ben's mill is a last survivor of a tradition of water powered technology that supported this country's settlement and development and is now, notes Joseph J. Ermenc, the subject of a relatively new branch of archaeology. But Ben and his neighbors also represent a more local tradition, for, as Scott Hastings points out, Vermont has history and people all its own. #3: Franz Boas (1858-1942) Studying the Indians on the northwest coast of America was an odd career for a young German physicist in the late 19th century. But by virtue of his fieldwork with the Kwakuiti, his involvement with museums, his teachings, and his theories on race, Franz Boas was singularly responsible for shaping the course of anthropology in America. #5: Margaret Mead - Taking Note A creative scholar who was both a humanist and a scientist, Margaret Mead was a dominant personality of twentieth century America.

No one yet knows why Maya civilization collapsed, but in this program we witness the quest for an answer as archaeologists investigate temples and monuments, piece together the meaning of the complex hieroglyphic language and analyze Maya trade routes and agricultural techniques. #7: Myths and the Moundbuilders The huge earthworks and mounds scattered through the eastern half of the United States prompted people in the nineteenth century to speculate that a lost civilization had preceded the Indians then living among the mounds. Though we've known for some time now that the ancestors of those Indians actually built the mounds, archaeologists are still exploring their contents for a better understanding of their builders. #8: On the Cowboy Trail Cowboys still ride herd in southeastern Montana, but new agricultural techniques and strip mining threaten the traditions of ranching - and the land itself. Our love of cowboys - from its origins in the last century to its current manifestation in popular song, movies, and fashion - is explored in this program. #9: Other People's Garbage Although written documents recount more than 350 years of events in America, they reveal little about what day to day life was like.

How and why these people developed such a sophisticated technology is only now becoming clear after 50 years of study. #13: The Incas In just 100 years, the Incas created an empire that stretched over some of the world's highest mountains.

At the age of 13, Emeline Gurney, was placed aboard a "slaver" by her parents. But Emeline did more than just work in the Lowell mills: in spite of the community's stiff rules and regulations, she bore a child out of wedlock within a year. This video weaves together town and church records, archival material and dramatic recreations of the tale of Emeline Gurney. Interviews with those few people left who knew Emeline - and those whose lives were affected by her story, reveal attitudes about morality, childhood and community in 19th-century New England. #9: Roots of Resistance - A Story of the Underground Railroad In the mid-1800s, black men and women traveled a network of escape routes known as the underground railroad. Over dark forest trails, back roads and rivers, they made their way along carefully mapped routes leading to night trains to the north or boats to the south. Their flight from the shackles of slavery in the south was organized by other escaped slaves and their allies. Famous ex-slaves Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Suffragist Susan B. Anthony, poet Walt Witman, Abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison and Allan Pinkerton (founder of the famous detective agency) all took part in keeping the paths to freedom open. This program recounts the little-known story of black America's secret railroad to freedom through narratives of escaped slaves. Viewers listen to interviews with descendants of slaves and slaveholders describing personal danger and terrible risks involved in each slave's departure. After the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, even a successful flight to free territory didn't guarantee freedom from professional slave catchers who hunted down these men and women and returned them to a life of bondage. #10: Journey to America Journey to America is a tribute to the over 12 million men, women and children who made the torturous journey from the old world to the new between 1890 and 1920. From the time these pilgrims left their homeland, they were beset by thieves, extortionists, and stopped by authorities at border crossings. At sea, they suffered from bad food, overcrowding, pestilence, and fire. At Ellis Island they faced the dreadful possibility of being turned back. An immigrant could be rejected for any of a dozen reasons -- communicable disease, illiteracy, no visible means of support or the very suspicion of immortality. And, once in the United States, they were moved into urban ghettos or into rural areas. #11: The Iron Road Here is the story of the completion to the transcontinental railroad which reduced the cross-country trip to just nine and a half days, and meant for the first time that the United States was truly united. Built during the Reconstruction years following the Civil War, the transcontinental railroad came to symbolize a healing of wounds between the north and south. #12: Los Mineros Here is the story of Mexican-American miners and their struggles to shape the course of Arizona history. In a saga which spans nearly half a century, this program recounts the rise and fall of the sister cities of Clifton-Morenci, where the mining of copper ore governed the lives of all the inhabitants. Life within the Mexican community is seen through the eyes of the miners and their families. Rare film, interviews with former miners and company employees and contemporary footage of the towns and mines help tell the miners story. #13: America and the Holocaust: Deceit and Indifference Beginning with the tragic events of Kristallnacht in 1938 and extending through the liberation of the death camps in 1954, America and the Holocaust explores the painful and difficult story of America's response to the murder of six million Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators. Using interviews, archival photos and documents, and home movies and film from the time, the program traces the tragic story of America's inaction on two levels: through the experiences of Kurt Klein, a Jewish refugee trying to save his parents, and through documented evidence of the U.S. government's official policy. As early as 1942, validated stories of the Nazi campaign to exterminate the Jews surfaced in Washington. Yet a paper wall of bureaucratic red tape and an isolationist and anti-Semitic political climate obstructed the emigration of Jewish refugees. When a coalition of forces led by Robert Morganthau and Will Rogers, Jr. forced President Roosevelt to recognize the crisis and to act, the war Refugee Board was finally created in 1944. While it was able to save 200,000 lives, it was too little, too late for many Jewish refugees including Kurt Klein's parents.

The Body In Question: Balancing Act Back to top Year : 1980 Type : Videos Colorization : color Length : 50 min. each Titles in the series are: #1: Balancing Act Nature has provided us with an elaborate set of preventive, reactive and repair mechanisms to assist our chances of survival. Jonathan Miller looks at our remarkable repertoire, and shows that the human body is, in effect, a complex system of control mechanisms designed to restore all things to their most favorable state. By returning to some of the classical mechanical metaphors of fountains, steam engines and mechanical governors he demonstrates that life is a continual battle against disintegration. #2: Breathless Why did early mountaineers become winded when their climb took them higher? Everyone has suffered from breathlessness at one time or another, but most of us are not alarmed by it. It all depends on the circumstances. After abstract action painting on a vast canvas, and re-creating seventeenth century experiments, Jonathan Miller finally falls unconscious in order to show how our understanding of breathing forms the basis of much modern diagnosis. #3: Heart of the Matter The Greeks thought that the heart was like a furnace. Blood was burned and purified on one side of the organ, and passed through a dividing wall to the other side and then into the rest of the body. This scheme was not fully overthrown until the seventeenth century physician William Harvey had done his revolutionary work on the circulation of the blood. Jonathan Miller ranges across the subject with visits to the famous anatomy theater in Padua, and with experiments on himself to illustrate how blood pressure works. #4: How Do You Feel? Why can a heart attack produce pain in the left arm? How do you describe to someone a really agonizing toothache? Where is nausea? Jonathan Miller shows that the aches, pains, rumbles and other sensations (or lack of them) that we experience are often dramatic distortions of what is going on beneath the skin. From the case of a woman who claims that one of her legs doesn't belong to her, to a man who continues to feel sensations in an amputated foot - Jonathan Miller shows that feelings are neither what nor where they seem.

The Business Of America Back to top Year : 1980 Type : Videos Colorization : color Length : 45 min.

The Christians Series Back to top Year : 1978 Type : Videos Colorization : color Length : 39 min. each These award-winning programs present a panoramic history of the men and women throughout the world who influenced Christianity through the ages: #2: The Christian Empire Roman Emperor Constantine wielded both clerical and political power. After his death, the Empire and the Church divided. This program highlights the richness of this period through the splendor of the great Santa Sophia and the mosaics of Ravenna, then travels to Egypt, where the followers of St. Anthony retreated from a materialistic world to a monastic one. #3: The Birth of Europe Throughout the devastation of the Roman Empire by barbarian hordes, Christianity was kept alive by the monks in remote corners of Ireland and Italy. Charlemagne extended the Christian Empire, and sought to make Europe a single Christian fortress. Later, the medieval church was strengthened by the appointment of the Abbot of Lerins as the highest earthly authority in Europe, and Rome again became the center of Europe. #8: The Conquest of Souls In Mexico, Cortes conquered the Aztecs and the subsequent spiritual conquest was almost as rapid as the military one. Simultaneously in Europe, the Roman Catholic Church was launching its own reform. The Jesuits were carrying out missionary expansion in India, China and Japan, although their impact was not as successful as that in the New World. #9: In Search of Tolerance Often persecuted in Europe, many religious groups emigrated in search of tolerance and a place of their own. In 1620, the Puritans set sail on the Mayflower for the New World. Later, Philadelphia came to represent much more than religious freedom: it became the center of the American revolution. #10: Politeness and Enthusiasm In the 18th century, two forms of Christianity appeared: that of the elite - with an educated, "reasonable" God - and a more vociferous, active form led by such founding fathers as John Wesley and George Whitefield. The enthusiasm of these early preachers later found a home in America, where revivalism became popular. #11: Missions Abroad One of the most dramatic examples of Christian revival in the 19th century was the spread of missionary activity, both in the lands of the new colonial empires and in the slums of Europe's industrial cities. In England, through the works of Charles Dickens and others, the public was awakened to the social injustice generated by the Industrial Revolution. Britons took upon themselves the task of civilizing all the peoples of the British Empire, and by 1915, England controlled nearly one-quarter of the earth's surface. The Civil War Back to top Year : 1990 Type : Videos Colorization : color Length : 62-99 min. each Five years in the making, this landmark documentary film series movingly and vividly presents the entire sweep of the Civil War, from the battlefield to the homefronts, from the politicians to the generals to the enlisted men and their families, from the causes of the war and the opening guns at Fort Sumter, to the stillness at Appomattox and Lincoln's assassination and beyond. Here is the Civil War as it was: in compelling archival photographs, in the words of those who experienced it, in the haunting scenes from the countrysides over which it was fought. Titles in the series are: #1: 1861 - The Cause (99 min.) Beginning with an examination of slavery and the causes of the war, this first program charts the sequence of events that led up to the firing on Fort Sumter and the jubilant rush to arms on both sides. Introducing the periods' major figures - including Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Jefferson Davis and a host of lesser known but equally vivid characters - this extended program comes to a climax with the first Battle of Bull Run, the Union disaster that showed both sides this was to be a very long war. #2: 1862 - A Very Bloody Affair (69 min.) 1862 saw the birth of modern warfare and the transformation of Lincoln's war to preserve the Union into a war to emancipate the slaves. Beginning with the political infighting that threatened to swamp Lincoln's administration, the program follows Union General George McClellan's ill-fated campaign on the Virginia Peninsula, where his huge army meets Robert E. Lee. Students witness the battle of ironclad ships, partake of camplife, and watch slavery begin to crumble. Ulysses S. Grant's exploits come to a bloody climax at the Battle of Shiloh. The program ends with rumors of Europe's readiness to recognize the Confederacy. #3: 1862 - Forever Free (76 min.) This episode charts the dramatic events that lead in Lincoln's decision to set the slaves free. Convinced by July 1862 that emancipation was now morally and militarily crucial to the future of the Union, Lincoln must wait for a victory to issue his proclamation. But as the year wears on there are no Union victories to be had, thanks to the brilliance of Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee. In September, Lee invades Maryland. One of the turning points of the war, it results in the Battle of Antietam - the bloodiest single day of the war - and later the emancipation of slaves. #4: 1863 - Simply Murder (62 min.) A nightmarish series of Union defeats are depicted: at Fredericksburg; at Chancellorsville in May, where Lee wins his most brilliant victory but loses Stonewall Jackson; and at Vicksburg, where Grant's attempts to take the city are crushed. This program also shows the fierce Northern opposition to Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, the miseries of regimental life and the increasing desperation of the Confederate homefront. In one of the war's most crucial turning points, Lee decides to invade the North again to draw Grant's forces away from Vicksburg. #5. 1863 - The Universe of Battle (95 min.) Opening with a dramatic account of the Battle of Gettysburg - the greatest ever fought on the American continent, this extended program goes on to chronicle the fall of Vicksburg, the New York draft riots and the first use of black troops. It closes with the dedication of the new Union cemetery at Gettysburg in November, where Abraham Lincoln struggles to put into words what is happening to his people. #6: 1864 - Valley of the Shadow of Death (70 min.) A biographical comparison of Grant and Lee sets the stage for the extraordinary series of battles that pitted the two generals against each other from the wilderness to Petersburg in Virginia. In 30 days, the two armies lose more men than both sides have lost in three years of war and leave Grant and Lee deadlocked at Petersburg. The program tours the ghastly hospitals North and South, and follows Sherman's Atlanta campaign through the mountains of north Georgia. As the horrendous casualty lists increase, Lincoln's chances for re-election begin to dim, and with them the likelihood of Union victory. #7: 1864 - Most Hallowed Ground (72 min.) The presidential campaign of 1864 sets Lincoln against his old commanding general, George McClellan. With Grant and Sherman stalled at Atlanta and Petersburg, opinion in the North has turned strongly against Lincoln and the war. But eleventh hour Union victories at Mobile Bay, Atlanta and Shenandoah tilt the election to Lincoln, and the Confederacy's last hope for independence dies. In an ironic twist, poignantly typical of the Civil War, Lee's Arlington estate is turned into a Union military hospital and then Arlington National Cemetery - the Union's most hallowed ground. #8: 1865 - War is All Hell (69 min.) Sherman's March to the Sea brings war to the heart of Georgia and the Carolinas and spells the end of the Confederacy. In March, following Lincoln's second inauguration, Grant takes Petersburg and shortly thereafter, Richmond. Lee's tattered Army of Northern Virginia flees westward towards Appomattox, with Grant in hot pursuit. The program ends with the dramatic and moving surrender at Appomattox. #9: 1865 - The Better Angels of Our Nature (68 min.) The episode opens with the description of the country's response to the news from Appomattox, and goes on to narrate the horrendous events of five days later when, on April 14, Lincoln is assassinated. After chronicling Lincoln's funeral, the final days of the war, the capture and hanging of John Wilkes Booth's conspirators, and the fate of the series' major characters, this final program then reviews the ways the traumatic four years transformed the country into the union it is today.

The Human Body Back to top Year : 1980 Type : Videos Colorization : color Length : 11-22 min. each Titles in the series are: #1: Circulatory System Resting only briefly between beats, your four chambered heart sends blood surging through the double circuit that makes up your circulatory system, bringing in food and carrying away wastes from every cell in your body. Clarifying diagrammatic animation, rich in design and color, shows how plasma, red and white cells, nutrients and wastes move through arteries, capillaries and veins and how lymph moves through the lymphatic system. #2: Digestive System Food can't be used by your body in the form it has when you eat it. Breaking it down into parts that are physically smaller and chemically simpler is the work of your digestive system. Clarifying animation, set against photographs of the human body, helps us follow, with the aid of x-ray photography, the path and chemistry of digestion through the esophagus, stomach and small intestine, as vital nutrients are extracted and delivered to your cells, with the rest of the food disposed of through the large intestine. #3: Endocrine System Coordinating the activities of your body's trillions of cells is the function of your endocrine system, a group of glands in various parts of your body that have very specific jobs. Colorful, diagrammatic animation set against the human body shows how the major glands of the system - the pituitary, the thyroid and parathyroid, the Islets of Langerhans, the adrenals, the testes and the ovaries - release their hormones directly into your bloodstream and coordinate all of your body's basic internal activities through a remarkable system of feedback mechanisms. #4: Excretory System The amazing transformations of matter and energy that keep you alive produce wastes whose removal from your body is the job of the organs of your excretory system. Colorful diagrammatic animation clarifies the role of the blood as a transporter of wastes from the cells, and the work of the lungs, kidneys and skin as they remove the carbon dioxide and heat from the blood. Life depends upon the removal of these wastes from every living cell. #5: Muscular System Some four hundred muscles, giving your body nearly half its weight, are responsible for every internal and external movement your body makes. Colorful diagrammatic animation clearly explains how electrical signals, (sometimes consciously sent by your brain, sometimes not), travel along nerves to striated, smooth and cardiac muscles, how muscle fibers respond by contracting and how the contractions pump blood through your arteries and veins, push food through your digestive system and move your bones. #6: Nervous System How the structure of neurons allows them to transmit electrochemical impulses and how they function as part of the central, peripheral and autonomic division of your nervous system are explained in carefully animated detail. The main parts of the brain are described with special attention given to the apparent specialization of the left and right hemispheres. #7: Reproductive System Each human life is a link in a great chain of life stretching backward and forward in time, a chain kept unbroken by the reproductive systems of the male and female human body. Diagrammatic animation clearly and simply illustrates how hormones from the pituitary gland, control the maturation and functioning of the organs of the reproductive system, and make reproduction possible through the union of egg and sperm. #8: Respiratory System The energy locked in the nutrients delivered to your cells is released with the help of oxygen. Diagrammatic animation shows how air flows into your body, gives up oxygen that passes through capillaries in your lungs into the blood and then, combining with hemoglobin, is carried by the pulsating arteries and capillaries to your cells for use. The removal of the waste carbon dioxide is followed in similar animated detail. #9: Skeletal System A living framework of hard, firm bones fitting together in a variety of ways gives your body its form and flexibility, protects your vital organs and lets you move. Through a creative blending of art and photography, of diagrammatic animation and x-ray photography, the basic structure and significant functions of the skeletal system are clearly illustrated, including how bones are formed from bone tissue, and how the muscles move them. #10: Systems Working Together The trillions of cells that make up the human body depend for their well being on complex interactions among the body's systems. This overview uses graphically designed animated diagrams to explain, with the help of microphotography and x-ray motion pictures, these marvelous vital interactions.

Finally, the complexities of Zen are made simpler for us by one of Japan's greatest living masters. #10: African Religions: Zulu Zion This program explores the black African response to Christianity, taking us to the Zulu independent churches in South Africa. Africans have been rediscovering their lost religious identity and have been forming independent churches with their own festivals, prophets, and rituals. #11: Taoism: A Question of Balance - China Examines the different types of religious beliefs that make up the spiritual life of Taiwan, including a Confucian respect for the past, the cosmic pattern of the Tao that manifests itself through oracles, and the worship of local gods who dispense justice and favors. #12: Alternate Life Styles in California: West Meets East Visit the San Francisco Bay area to examine the search for a saner and healthier life in which ecology is grounded in the sacred. Investigating these life style searches, we visit cooperatives, meet people who share jobs and go to a biofeedback clinic. We also go to a commune run by white Sikhs and meet a man who lives in wigwam style house he built in the woods after spending ten years in Japan studying Zen and who epitomizes many of these new style seekers. #13: Reflections on the Long Search Presents theater director Ronald Eyre discussing some personal reflections on his pilgrimage throughout the world in which he explored the religious beliefs and experiences of various peoples.

The methods used to extract metals from ores and to blend metals to form alloys with improved physical characteristics are covered. #20: On the Surface How does the surface of a substance differ from its bulk? Surfaces react with each other at the molecular level and are unique in the way in which they behave catalytically in chemical reactions. The chemistry of surfaces falls into the province of a special brand of chemistry - surface science. #21: Carbon Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds. The versatility of carbon's molecular structures provides the enormous range of properties of its compounds. #22: The Age of Polymers How are polymers made and why are they different? How chemists control the molecular structure to create polymers with special properties is explored. #23: Proteins: Structure and Function Proteins are polymers built of amino acids. A huge number of different protein molecules arise from only 20 basic amino acids. The number, kind, and sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain dictate the level of structure. #24: The Genetic Code How does the human body manufacture complex proteins to sustain life? How are traits passed from generation to generation? The structure and role of the nucleic acids, DNA and RNA, are investigated. #25: Chemistry and the Environment Modern chemistry has provided marvelous benefits and products, but also challenging chemical waste problems.
