Ducks in Danger* Wed., Nov. 27/85
This program investigates recent efforts by
hunters to insure a safe environment for their
prey. These efforts may be well intentioned and
well-financed, but Ducks in Danger* documents
a severe decline in North American duck popula-
tions and asks what must we do -- or not do --
to save the duck.

Leprosy* Wed., Dec. 4/85
An update on an ancient disease that still
afflicts millions around the world, including
North Americans. Progress continues, especially
in educational programs designed to aid early
diagnosis to stop the disease before it deforms
its victims.

High Spirits Wed., Dec. 11/85
The gift of god, the devil's brew, the water of
life -- Alcohol has wound its way through human
history. High Spirits investigates new research
into the very different ways that each individual's
body handles alcohol.

 

A Paleontologist's Pot of Gold Wed., Dec. 11/85

The story of life that, a half billion years ago,
inhabited the warm shallow sea that is now the
Canadian Rockies.

Straight As An Arrow Wed., Dec. 11/85

SO straight path of an arrow.

Professor Bonner and the
Slime Moulds

 

Wed., Dec. 18/85

Scoop up a handful of soil from anywhere in the
world and in it will be some of nature's most
remarkable animals -- the strange, but
beautiful slime moulds. Professor John Tyler
Bonner's studies of the slime moulds have
unveiled clues to some of biology's greatest
mysteries. Aided by spectacular microphoto-
graphy, Professor Bonner introduces viewers to
the wonders of slime mould.
