Rise Of The Continents DVD

The earth's continents are instantly recognisable. These iconic landmasses seem permanent and unchanging, yet they are merely the wreckage of a much larger long-lost supercontinent - Pangaea. In this stunning four part series Professor Iain Stewart uncovers the evidence for this ancient past. He reveals how the world around us is full of clues - in the rocks, the landscapes and even the animals - that tell how the land we live on was created. He shows how the defining moments of their formation have fundamentally shaped each of our continents' characters - transforming evolution, forging their incredible economic riches and changing the course of human history.
