	Encyclopedia: Natural history
		In the 18th century and well into the 19th century, natural history as a term was frequently used to refer to all scientific studies, as opposed to political or ecclesiastical history.
		The term "natural history" alone, or sometimes together with archaeology, forms the name of many national, regional and local natural history societies that maintain records for birds (ornithology), mammals, insects (entomology) and plants (botany).
		The natural landscape of California is incredibly diverse, from the deserts of southwestern California, to the chaparral-covered hills of the coast, to the redwood forests of the north and the pine and fir forests of the Sierra Nevada, just to mention a few.

	BBC Television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BBC One shows popular programming, including drama, comedies, documentaries, game shows and soap operas, covering a wide range of genres and regularly competes with ITV to become the channel with the highest ratings for that week.
		Unlike its contemporaries, BBC Two does not have the usual soap opera or standard news programming, but rather a breadth of programming that is eclectic, fun and diverse (although if a programme has high audience viewing figures, it is often eventually repositioned to BBC One).
		The nations of the United Kingdom (Wales and Scotland, and the province of Northern Ireland) have been granted more autonomy from the UK network; for example, programmes are mostly introduced by local announcers, rather than by those in London.

	UK Spider Research Interests BBC Documentary Filmmakers
		In early September Sir David and a team of documentary filmmakers from the BBC’s famed Natural History Unit set up cameras at the University of Kentucky’s Spindletop research farm to capture the predatory talents of the bolas spider which feeds at night.
		A few weeks prior to Sir David and the film unit’s arrival, UK researchers spent many hours and several nights at both Coldstream and Spindletop research farms hunting bolas spiders that would “star” in the documentary.
		While Kevin Flay filmed Sir David and the spider, a second producer/cameraman recorded footage of Haynes and Yeargan interacting with Attenborough and the BBC team, and Haynes said those shots may be included in a “making of” program highlighting behind-the-scenes details of how the main documentary was put together.
