Species are being lost at a rapid rate in rainforests and coral reefs. Yet many species still have not been discovered.

From the tower of the Old North Church where Robert Newman gave the signal that the British were coming, Dave recalls the beginnings of the American Revolution. He explains that Boston Puritans felt they had a God-given right to revolt against tyrants who taxed them without representation. At the Hancock Clark House in Lexington, Dave reviews the biographies of John Hancock and the Reverend Jones Clark, and the reasons why the British accused them of treason. On Lexington Green, Dave reviews the history of the "shot heard 'round the world", and at Old North Bridge, Concorde, the American success and the subsequent British retreat. Next, at Bunker Hill, Dave provides a detailed account of the heavy fighting and numerous causalities in a conflict where the Americans established themselves as a solid fighting force. He closes with the story of Henry Knox who, with the approval of George Washington, brought British cannons 300 miles from Fort Ticonderoga to Dorchester Heights in Boston.

Global 3000 is Deutsche Welle's weekly magazine that explores the intersection of global development and the environmental and social conditions of the diverse cultures of the world. In each program, host Michaela Kufner presents three to four video-rich segments that profile a different part of the planet where man's quest for economic and industrial strength is jeopardizing the ecosystems and the social and economic structures of people thousands of miles away. The program not only documents where those struggles are taking place - but how some groups and individuals are finding solutions to the growing problems of global development.

This program takes a look at the kinds of nonfiction that will appear on the GED Language Arts Reading Test. Nonfiction is based on facts. Reading nonfiction helps people make informed decisions, learn new skills, and accomplish goals at work, school, and in their personal lives. The program begins by following a woman who owns and operates her own day care. She talks about the types of nonfiction that she reads on a daily basis: instruction manuals, how-to books, rules and regulations, etc. This program explains how to read for information and tells the student to ask the question "how is the information organized?" and explains how to use indexes and tables of contents to find information quickly. It suggests that the student use common sense to decide if they should skim a passage or read it carefully. It urges students to look for the main idea and to ask themselves "what does this mean?" as they read. The program also follows a film critic from a local paper. He explains that sometimes the main idea isn't so obvious and that's when the details have to be examined. The program ends with the statement "when you read look for the main idea and the details that support it whether you're reading for information, inspiration, or to pass the GED test."
