History Channel Enzo Ferrari - E5150



History is made when the right forces converge. Often, all it takes is a man, a moment and a machine. The right person, at the right time, with the right equipment, can change the world. Filled with first-person interviews, expert analysis, rare footage and vivid re-enactments, MAN, MOMENT, MACHINE explores compelling stories of human drama and incredible invention when everything came together. The glorious era of postwar auto racing is reaching its peak. At the 1951 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, upstart race director Enzo Ferrari is pitting his fabulous 375 Formula One car against the world champion Alfa Romeo team. Enzo will do anything to beat his bitter rival, and he has devised a daring strategy that just might do the trick. Or it might lead to a humiliating, career-ending defeat.

Discovery Channel - The Most Evil Men and Women in History


Discovery Channel takes viewers deep into the minds of the world's most notorious, merciless and deadliest criminals with Most Evil. In this chilling new series, Columbia University's Dr. Michael Stone profiles his 'scale of evil' in order to rank and measure the evilness of some of the world's most renowned criminals, from psychotic cold-blooded killers to cult leaders.

Through the use of scientific analysis, Stone profiles some of the most evil minds of all time and ranks each killer on his scale. Accompanied with rarely seen archive footage of courtrooms, exclusive interviews with convicted killers from behind prison bars and analysis from leading experts in psychology and neurology, each episode will probe the darkest corners of the human mind, providing clues as to what genetic, environmental and neurological factors may drive a person to kill and measures who is truly evil versus someone who commits evil acts.

BBC - Conquistadors with Michael Wood


The Spanish conquest of the Americas in the sixteenth century was one of the most cataclysmic events in history. Spanish expeditions had to endure the most unbelievable hardships to open up the lands of the New World. Few stories, if any, in history match these for sheer drama, endurance and distances covered. In Conquistadors Michael Wood travels in the footsteps of some of the greatest of the Spanish adventurers from Amazonia to Lake Titicaca, and from the deserts of North Mexico to the heights of Macchu Picchu. He experiences first hand the reality of epic journeys, such as those made by Hernan Cortes, and Francisco and Gonzalo Pizarro, and explores the turbulent and terrifying events surrounding the Spanish conquest of the Aztec and Inca empires, as well as Orellana's extraordinary voyage of discovery down the Amazon and Cabeza de Vaca's journey across America to the Pacific.

The Story of India with Michael Wood


Michael Wood's approachable (but highly informed) manner is a gift for TV presentation of a diverse selection of subjects, ranging from archaeology to foreign countries to Shakespeare, and as the book to accompany the epic BBC history series The Story of India comprehensively proves, those attributes transfer smoothly to the printed page. In this sumptuously illustrated volume, Wood tells a fascinating, turbulent story -- nothing less than the 10,000 year history of India. Over a fifth of the world's population is crammed into a subcontinent which was the initial progenitor of one of the most significant civilisations on the planet. And in a period when India becomes a global economic force to be reckoned with, it is the perfect time for Wood to show us how this massively achieving country relates to the demands of the modern world, while celebrating the awe-inspiring riches of the country's past.
