Rocks for Roads

Synopsis: Visits three quarries to investigate the materials needed for road building, where they come from and how they are processed. Environmentally acceptable sources are becoming scarce, and new approaches to the problem include the massive coastal superquarries in opening up in Scotland, where the crushed rock is shipped around the coast for road building in south-east England.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
