Encounters at the End of the World - 0 views

    Well, there's snow on the mountains finally. I am one of the few people who smiles at the sight of white. I have this weird obsession with Antarctica and I want to say how greatly I adore this film I watched the other day. If you have any interest in cold places as I do, I HIGHLY recommend this beautiful film by Werner Herzog (director of Grizzly Man). Its not a simple Planet Earth documentary, but examines why all of these different people end up at the bottom of the world. And some of the under ice scuba diving is simply breathtaking. FYI, it's on instant view on netflix.

    This is site that contains documentaries on the life of members of the Church. This was contest put on by BYU. I feel like this is the precursor to the churches campaign "I am a Mormon." There are some great films here.

    I highly suggest watching this clip.  It's food for thought if nothing else--what are the flaws of our educational system, what are the consequences of those flaws, and how can we fix it?

    Looks like a great biography on Alan Turing. Unfortunately, it is not on netflix, and will be a little more difficult to find.

    Honda is producing a series of thought-provoking short documentaries on "various topics of interest to our global community". It's a refreshing alternative to regular advertising, in fact, I haven't seen a single ad in there telling you to buy their products.

Fear! Living Under a Mushroom Cloud, a collection at the Museum at the Wisconsin Histor... - 0 views

  • America's post-World War II period is often portrayed as a time of affluence and contentment, but fear of atomic war and Communist infiltration also marked the era and affected the decisions Americans made about their lives and futures. Fear of atomic bomb attacks on the nation's cities helped motivate people to move to the relative safety of the suburbs. Some Americans built fallout shelters to protect their families while others, shocked by the prospect of nuclear annihilation at any moment, sought to live for the present.
  • Once the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, Americans realized a new era in history, one defined by the ability of humans to destroy their world.
  • Positive portrayals of atomic bomb blasts, along with toys and games that made light of atomic bomb destruction like those in the case below, may have helped diffuse some of the fear the American public felt about the bomb by desensitizing them to the devastation an atomic bomb could cause.

  • While "atomic fiction" depicted possible fearful scenarios using atomic bombs and radiation, documentary sources illustrated the reality. Newspapers, magazines, books, and pamphlets described in vivid detail the effects of nuclear bombs on the Bikini Atoll, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, kept Americans abreast of the latest atomic developments and their destructive forces, and explained the devastating results if a bomb were to be dropped on the United States. All combined to reinforce the fear Americans had about anything atomic
  • Atomic Age fears provided science fiction writers with the inspiration for hundreds of stories, many of which conveyed political and moral messages as they shocked and entertained American readers and movie audiences. Three story types had emerged by the mid-1950s: the first dealt with atomic warfare; the second showed dinosaurs or fantastical beasts awakened or created by atomic blasts; and the third type depicted human deformities resulting from atomic experiments gone awry.
