Editorial Review:

Album Description:
You've never seen the human body like this before. In this groundbreaking series, we push the human form to its extremes, capturing both the power and the poetry. You will be surprised and even shocked as stunning CGI effects and the latest in cutting-edge photography reveal the body's inner and outer workings in vivid detail.

My 10 year old dd loves to learn how things work so it wasn't a big surprise that she loved this movie. However, her 13 yo sister is usually less enthusiatic. They watched the first half which is the part on sight yesterday. Both enjoyed it immensely. The older sister had video watching fatique (not sure of the exact time but the segments are lengthy) but the younger one wanted to continue watching as she was absolutely fascinated by the content of these videos. Anything this educational that holds both their attentions is a winner in this home schooling household!

Rating: - Perfect for lectures
As a teacher at the school for physical therapy in Enschede, I was looking for icebreakers, drawing the attention when starting the lesson. Pushing the limits has appealing images that relate to the students. A great way to start lectures and to make them more interesting.

Rating: - Interesting and very informational.
Worth every penny. Wonderful graphics and the limits of the human body are so well explained.

Rating: - Highon flash, low on content
I was hoping to be able to use these for high school anatomy classes, but it is too hard to dissect the meat from the fluff. There is a lot of good information in the video, but it is surrounded by these sensational stories that make good TV but are just filler when it comes to learning the material. I wish I could easily take out the anatomy/physiology information and lose the stories.
