| Summary: | "It's so powerful it can carve our landscape, yet so nurturing it can spawn life and support its intricate matrix. We take it for granted, yet compared to other natural compounds, it's a genuine oddity. MODERN MARVELS® paints a vivid portrait of this common entity that's anything but. Watch it flow from huge irrigation machines that have revolutionized American agriculture and blast 200 miles into space from a newly discovered geyser on one of Saturn's moons (via computer animation). See it coaxed from the clouds by chemical injection, captured by innovative "fog-catchers", and cascade with artistic flair from compressed air jets at the Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas."--History Channel web site (history.com). |
