“Faces of Earth”, the award nominated hi-definition four part series which aired on The Science Channel beginning in July 2007, is now available as a two disk DVD set for $24.95 plus shipping and handling. This series takes viewers on a trip through the history and the interconnected systems of our ever-changing planet by the experts who know it the best, geoscientists.

Viewers follow scientists using high-tech and high adventure to see the world like we have never before, and to understand how humans are both a force of nature, and a product of our world. From the formation of the planet to the emergence of life, and the dynamic internal and external processes that have shaped our world and culture, “Faces of Earth” brings Earth to life.

The DVD set is available for pre-order from AGI Publications (http://www.agiweb.org/pubs/pubdetail.html?item=670110), or through Discovery’s online store (http://shopping.discovery.com). DVD sets will also be available at the AGI booth at the Geological Society of America Annual Meeting and Exhibition in Denver Colorado October 28-31, 2007. Pre-orders are expected to ship around October 17, 2007.
