The Nature of Things

Man as an Environment (1x6)


Date de diffusion: Déc 11, 1960

Members of the plant and animal kingdom will be shown at work and at war. Films for the show were collected by science writer Maurice Constant. They show that man is the most successful of animals in changing his environment. He also has the power, through drugs, of protecting himself from bacilli which find his body a salubrious environment. The audience will see body cells under attack by viruses and bacilli, and will see drugs actually working within the body to destroy harmful, living bacteria. These rare films, made by the advanced techniques of microphotography, were shot in Canadian, U.S., European and Japanese laboratories. Dr. Donald Ivey is host.
