520 |a The plow that broke the plains: Shows the challenges faced by wheat farmers and cattle ranchers in the Great Plains, climaxing in a vivid portrait of the record drought that produced the dust bowl and the plight of the people who felt its impact. 
520 |a The river: Illustrates the problems of flood control on the Mississippi River and the efforts to correct it. While arguing that the building of dams would put an end to the destruction of crops and property brought about by the havoc of annual floods, Lorentz reveals the ways the river has been misused. 
520 |a The fight for life: Presents a staged re-enactment of an emergency childbirth in an urban hospital. As the story of the mother's difficult delivery and death in spite of valiant efforts by the doctors to save her unfolds, The Fight For Life reveals the crisis of health and pre-natal care among the urban poor of the period, and explores the impoverished lives of the working people of the cities, who live in slums and tenements where they are forced to suffer from the disabling diseases endemic in such environments.
