PickVidsBest Earth & energy (other) Videos
「Earth & energy (other)」下面有12部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象：入门0部，适合还没学过的人；进阶0部，适合已经懂术语的人；普通向12部，按兴趣就能看；更硬的0部，留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是课堂讲座，所以它们的共同点是用上课的节奏把一条推导走完，而不是只丢结论。常出现的频道包括lXlSalemlXl、endofsuburbia、Sid Smith。目录给这个主题划的范围是：Other earth, energy and environment topics: oil and gas industry, fossil fuels, resource economics, miscellaneous environmental documentaries.如果只看三部，就从《Arithmetic, Population and Energy - a talk by Al Bartlett》开始，它负责把问题讲出画面；然后看《The End of Suburbia - 52 minute documentary on peak oil》，换一种讲法或例子；最后看《How to Enjoy the End of the World》，留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开，顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月，不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明，用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看，把引用当成只是拿来举例，把批评留下来对照，不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
