　　In the late 16th century Europe was in the grip of a ferocious witch hunt, where thousands were tortured and burnt at the stake. The church was fully behind this terrifying crusade against the imaginary enemies of Christianity. In France and Germany alone up to 40,000 people may have been killed as witches. But England and Scotland were almost untouched by witch persecutions until King James himself decided to launch his own, personal war on witchcraft.
　　In 1597 King James VI of Scotland published 'Daemonology', a handbook on how to recognise and destroy, witches. The book explored the threat that 'those Detestable slaves of the Devil', posed to James himself. It fuelled waves of witch hunting throughout Britain.
　　The legacy of James' 'Daemonology' continued throughout the 17th century, and led to the torture and execution of hundreds of women in a series of infamous witch trials. No-one knows exactly how many men and women died in these trials, such as the Pendle trial of 1612, or how many others were killed in cases that never came to court. The documentary reveals the purges in many areas of Britain drew directly on King James' book. Also for the first time, remarkable new archaeological evidence from Cornwall, suggests that witchcraft was actively practiced for centuries, even during the most intense periods of witch-hunting. Experimental archaeologist Jacqui Wood has excavated strange pits lined with swan's feathers, and filled with animal skins and human remains. She believes the pits were ritual offerings inspired by witchcraft beliefs.

　　是什么给雨林带来独一无二的勃勃生机？是什么造就草原动物的矫健身形？是什么援助,协助,辅助,助力森林生物安然度过气候剧变？又是什么让营养极易流失的水世界异彩纷呈？在我们熟知的环境中，大自然所敲打出的清晰节奏，一切看似平常的自然现象，背后又有怎样的玄机？
　　6月24日至27日，英国广播公司（BBC）与美国国家地理频道（NGC）联手打造的又一纪录片力作《自然的运作》，将登陆央视综合频道（CCTV-1）晚间十点半档的“魅力纪录”栏目，该片将带领我们走进地球生物最重要的四大栖息地——雨林、草原、季节性森林与水世界，揭秘这些地域生态平衡背后的自然运作法则。
　　地球是1000万物种的家园，但是没有任何物种能够独立生存，所有的生命都相互依存、彼此联系，这些联系出人意料、错综繁复,纷繁,繁杂,杂乱。要想揭开这些关系，是一项浩大的工程，而该片巧妙地选取了四种极具典型特征的栖息地类型：雨林、草原、季节性森林与水世界，运用多层次、多角度的拍摄手法，清晰呈现出四大栖息地全景及其内部结构。片中，我们不仅能跟随航拍镜头欣赏到大自然的奇丽景色，还能透过微型摄像机一探小型动物们的生存奥秘。英国《观察家报》对该片评价道，“奇妙的科学，生动的展示，丰富的知识，十分圆满,完满,尽美,尽善”，相信,坚信,深信,笃信该片将为您的夏日带来清新体验,体会,感悟,感悟。
　　生物关系 物种生存法宝
　　透过片中一个个镜头，我们将看到，原来两种看似毫不相关的生物之间竟有极为密切的关系。动植物之间的所有关系类型——竞争、捕食、共生、寄生，在片中都能一一找到鲜活的例证。例如，在非洲大草原，金合欢树与蚂蚁互利共生，金合欢树从蚁巢获得营养，蚂蚁则得以在金合欢树树枝的尖刺之间建立自己的临时居所。共生关系下的强强联手不仅可以衣食无忧，更能击退天敌。当长颈鹿吞食金合欢树的树叶时，就会被金合欢树的尖刺与蚂蚁放出的毒液左右夹击，溃败而逃。而在捕食关系中，最典型的，就要数世界上体型最大的动物——鲸鲨，掠食世界上体型最小的生物——浮游生物了。
　　微距拍摄 捕捉微处精彩
　　自然界中充满了微小生物，人类用肉眼看不清甚至看不见，但它们的的确确是自然界重要的一份子。为了全面呈现这些微小生物，该片摄制组可谓“无所不用其极”。在《雨林》一集中，微距镜头为我们拍摄到了世界上最小的鸟——蜂鸟的觅食画面。蜂鸟们每秒能扇动50次翅膀，每一次扇动都被镜头捕捉下来。镜头下蜂鸟的拼命劲儿，更衬托出它们吸食花蜜时，那种狼吞虎咽的神态，怪不得被称为“天生对花蜜没有抵抗力的动物”。镜头再近一些，你甚至会发现，每一种蜂鸟的喙大小形状都不同，这样我们就能容易理解，为什么这些无蜜不欢的“贪吃鬼”，其每一个种类只能吃到一种花蜜了。
　　其他场景，如香蕉蛞蝓的6根触须、真菌一分一毫的生长、细如微尘的浮游生物等等，我们都能通过微距镜头看得清清楚楚。这些精致的画面增加了该片的镜头容量，与航拍的宏大场景相互补充，为画面更添层次感。
　　三维动画 呈现,显现,体现,展现,呈现,显现,体现自然宏景
　　生动立体的三维动画是该片的又一大亮点。三维动画保证了故事在完全,完好,完善,全备叙述上，不会受到时间与空间突变的影响。例如，摄制组在搜寻,寻觅,查找,探寻白蚁的旅程中，先后穿越亚洲、非洲的大草原。空间的这一巨大变化，通过三维动画地球向东转动的画面，镜头就从亚洲草原自然过渡到非洲草原，而白蚁的故事仍在持续,延续,存续,连续。
　　在叙述,阐述,陈述,描写巨大的生物网络时，三维动画也发挥了意想不到的作用。在《季节性森林》一集，树木与真菌在地下无限延伸，形成了一个庞大的根系网络。如此巨大的地下网络全景，无法通过摄像机进行拍摄实景，然而，三维动画克服了这一障碍。该片通过动画模拟，我们可以清晰地看到根系网络的结构、规模与分布。同时，主创团队还别具匠心地将树木与真菌的根系网络用不同颜色区分开来，让我们清楚地看到能量物质在这两个网络中如何流动。
　　声画结合 打造真实意境
　　最后值得一提的是，片中的大量音乐，随着动植物的情态和景别的变换而起伏，或灵动，或悠扬，或激烈，或激昂，配合高清的画面，更为观众带来身临其境的体验,体会,感悟,感悟。
　　分集简介
　　第一集 雨林
　　本集节目将带领观众探索雨林，解开关于雨林的最大谜团：为什么雨林中会日常,生存,生计,日子着大量令人眼花缭乱的生物？其多样性为何会远远超出地球上其他的生物栖息地？摄制组将带我们探寻巴拿马和婆罗洲，展示,揭露,显示,呈示猩猩、森林象等大型动物对庇护,维护,呵护,护卫雨林生物多样性的重要作用。在亚马逊雨林，我们将亲眼目睹以巴西坚果树为中心，繁复,纷繁,繁杂,杂乱而奇妙的生态关系网。

　　Learning how to survive on an increasingly crowded planet is probably our ultimate challenge. But there is one place, home to over a sixth of the world's population, which is already making a good shot at adapting: welcome to India. This observational series casts aside the usual preconceptions about the sub-continent, and lets a few of India's 1.2 billion show how their world really works.
　　With astonishing access into the densest districts of Kolkata and Mumbai, it celebrates the impressive resourcefulness, resilience and absolute pragmatism of those living and working there, and reveals the psyche needed to get ahead in the biggest of crowds.
　　Part 1.
　　This episode follows two main characters as they employ all their ingenuity to carve out a home. With more people moving to cities in India than anywhere else on earth, securing that place you can call home is vital for nurturing your family's future.
　　Part 2.
　　Johora started out as a rag-picker, but through building a bottle recycling business on a railway embankment, she has big ambitions for her family of seven kids. And it is not just small waste. Kanye uses a blowtorch to cut up ships discarded by the rest of the world, helping satisfy India's thirst for steel. And Ashik buys up beef fat from the abattoir, and proudly renders it down to make tallow. It looks disgusting, even before he is plagued by a maggot infestation. But this thrifty use of 'waste' may well be destined for your soap or cosmetics.
　　Part 3.
　　With India destined to become the most populous nation on earth by 2026, you have got to be highly tactical in your search for a better life. It is not just about you and your dreams today - it is about the family over generations to come.
