Organ transplantation is one of the major medical triumphs of the last fifty years. Today, surgeons routinely remove dying livers, kidneys, lungs, and heart and replace with healthy donated ones.

The Nile tells the story of one of the world's most remarkable rivers. From its source in Equatorial Africa to the Mediterranean Sea four thousand miles away, the ancient Egyptians once revered the Nile as a god because of its life-giving water. Recently however, dams, canals, and pollutants have altered the river creating many problems that scientists and environmentalists are working to resolve.
