Living in the Landscape: Leaving Boundaries Behind The significance of Minnesota's geographic location on the North American continent is explained through beautiful imagery and a compelling storyline. Viewers can explore the three major biomes of Minnesota (prairie, pineland, and hardwoods) and understand how the landscape and people are intertwined. Interviews with leading Minnesotans, including photographer Jim Brandenburg and ecologist John Tester, provide personal insights to people's relationship to the land. The 27-minute, national award-winning video is an excellent resource for educators, community planners, land managers, civic leaders, and interested citizens. It is an ideal addition to curriculum that centers on ecology, history, geography, art, human geography, geology and sustainability. The video is intended for students 12 years and up. This video is available from Minnesota's Bookstore |
