Designed to be used with an educational psychology text. Shows, through the story of Tommy, the importance of goals in learning. His natural curiosity thwarted in school, he seems bored.

Describes the main characteristics of impressionism and contrasts it with the art that prevailed in the era which preceded it. Stress is placed upon impressionism's major characteristics including elimination of details and use of color to produce optical effects in which colors are mixed by the eye. Special attention is given to coloring techniques used in painting such as use of colored dots rather than solid color areas.

Discusses the effect of various levels of inbreeding (self-fertilization, sib matings, half-sib matings, cousin marriages) upon making heterozygous genes homozygous with the consequent loss of vigor. Presents data for the increased risk of genetic defect from cousin marriage in studies of phenylketonuria, of a Japanese population and a French population. The concept and estimation of lethal equivalents are given. Shows how increases in heterozygosity increase vigor (heterosis); hybrid vigor in corn in described in detail. Lecture given by Dr. J. F.

Demonstrates independent segregation by different pairs of genes using Mendel's data. Emphasizes the chromosomal activities during meiosis which are responsible for independent segregation. Describes the Punnett Square and the branching track methods of combining gametes at random. Discusses test crosses and linkage (as the exception to independent segregation), and shows that independent segregation proves the separability of the germ plasm into many gene pairs.

"Grierson had always admired the documentary work of American filmmaker Robert Flaherty (Nanook of the North) and hired him to make Industrial Britain, though he and his staff ultimately had to complete the film when money ran out. As with other Grierson influenced documentaries of the mid-1930's, its frequent low angle close-ups heroicize the workers, their patience and their toil. The skills of glass blowers, machinists and other craftsmen are, the narration suggests, the bedrock of England's industrial might and the ability to sustain the British Empire"--Videodisc sleeve.

Discusses, from a middle-class point of view, the exodus of the middle class to the suburbs and the failure of various programs and modern technology to provide enough inner-city low-income housing.
