In this program, explorer and travel writer Richard Bangs sets off for an incredible adventure on the great Nile River to uncover the history, myths and culture of the lost crocodiles of ancient Egypt. From Alexandria to Cairo, from the pyramids at Giza to the Valley of the Kings, Bangs explores the way the river and its fearsome "Lord" molded a civilization. Further upstream, he visits a temple dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god, and searches for the beast in the waters of Lake Nasser.

The New York Philharmonic performs a semi-staged version of the Lerner and Loewe’s Camelot. Based on T.H.

The score features such classic songs as “Camelot,” “If Ever I Would Leave You” and “The Lusty Month of May.”

In today's media environment where "the jet stream" is a common term, it is hard to believe that before World War II and the evolution of high-altitude bombing, no one really knew of its existence. The jet stream is a river of fast-moving air, a few hundred miles wide which travels at hundreds of miles an hour at approximately 30,000 feet. Five Miles High tells the incredible story of the jet stream and looks at the challenge of predicting how it will change in the future and how those changes will affect our lives.

Five thousand years ago, the Minoans, Europe's first great civilization, flourished on the island of Crete. They were the first Europeans to use writing, and their technologically advanced and rich artistic culture became the setting for famous Greek myths about Theseus, Icarus and the Minotaur. Yet in their heyday, the Minoans were wiped from the pages of history. The cause of their downfall has remained one of the foremost mysteries of the ancient world, until now. The program explores, and discounts, all the usual theories about the disappearance of the Minoans - from a massive volcano that buried them in ash, to Greek invaders who conquered and killed them. Drawing from the archaeological records, new revelations about Minoan language and religion, and shocking new geological discoveries, the film connects fact with fiction, and reveals the truth behind the reign and fall of the great Minoan civilization.

The Adirondack Park sprawls across six million acres in Upstate New York. Bigger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, Glacier and Grand Canyon National Park combined, it is by far the largest park in the lower 48 states. Yet it is the only one on the continent in which large human populations live and whose land is divided almost evenly between protected wilderness and privately owned tracts. This patchwork pattern of land ownership has created an utterly unique place. The story of the Adirondacks is told through a series of passionate characters, each with a distinct perspective. Through their stories, "The Adirondacks" explores this remarkable region and reveals a delicate and dynamic relationship between progress and preservation.
