Just to follow up on my last post concerning Sir Joseph Hooker and the fact Kew has made his correspondence available online, there are also some excellent movie clips about this remarkable man available online also.

Made by Jupe Productions and Peter Donaldson there are eight great short films to watch:

1    Why Joseph Hooker Went to the Himalayas

2    Finding the First Sketch of Mt Everest

3    Glacier Recession in the Himalayas

4    Rhododendrons of the Sikkim Himalaya

5    Effect of Altitude on Rhododendrons

6    Nango Glacier and the Theory of Evolution

7    Joseph Hooker 's 1848 Nepal Expedition

8    Joseph and William Hooker's Early Years

Enjoy!
