Regarding good documentaries on population and environment, I think the NOVA documentary" "World in the Balance: The People Paradox" is outstanding. I've used it in many different undergraduate courses that I have taught. The video website with accompanying teaching materials is: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/worldbalance/ Good luck and happy summer to all (us northern hemispheriacs...), Syma

Dear all, Thanks to Geoff Dabelko for that list of short films. I was wondering if anyone else had other suggestions for good documentaries on population? On-line or DVD? I've a class to fill during the week it's predicted the Earth's population will reach 7 billion, so it seems appropriate for the class to discuss it then. best, Kate Kate O'Neill UC Berkeley
