This is a request more related to my teaching, but I thought I’d ask here. I’m trying to find copies of the UNESCO videos “Understanding Volcanic Hazards” and “Reducing Volcanic Risk”. They were made by the Kraffts to help educate people on volcanic hazards, especially in developing countries. I’ve seen them both and they are great for introductory geology classes. However, the one source I knew of – the NW Interpretive Assoc. – doesn’t seem to carry them anymore – and even if they did, the only format I know of is VHS, which is getting woefully obsolete.

So, do any of you know where I might be able to get a copy of either/both of these films, either on VHS, DVD or otherwise? Leave a comment here or send me an email at

Thanks for any help!

How Rainn Wilson discovered sacredness
The hospital where Rainn Wilson’s wife and son nearly died became his own personal holy site. There, he discovered that the sacred can exist in places we least expect it. During his talk at A Night of Awe and Wonder, he explained how the awe we feel in moments of courage and love is moral beauty — and following it might be the start of our spiritual revolution.
