Episode 8 - Cities: Surviving the Urban Jungle
First Aired: March. 03,2011

A look at the man-made environment: the city. Over half of the world's population now lives in the urban jungle. The city is built to keep untamed nature out - but nature can't be pushed away.

Episode 7 - Rivers: Friend and Foe
First Aired: February. 24,2011

Rivers provide the essentials of life: fresh food and fresh water. They act as natural highways and enable humans to live in just about every environment on Earth. Rivers are not to be taken for granted, however, as they freeze, flood, and sometimes dry up - disappearing entirely!

Episode 2 - Deserts: Life in the Furnace
First Aired: January. 20,2011

While man can survive for weeks without food, he can survive mere days without water. Despite this, millions of people live in parched desert environments around the world. Discover the enormous challenges presented to man in the driest corners of the earth, and marvel at the ingenious solutions he has come up with to make life sustainable.

Episode 1 - Oceans: Into the Blue
