Philip Guedalla writes, "History is the most interesting part of geography, and European history is particularly dependent upon the conformation of Europe." Between the Peace of Utrecht (1713) and the Congress of Vienna (1815), Europe was continuously partitioned and re-partitioned by war. Frederick the Great created Prussia at the expense of Austria. Catherine the Great seized the Ukraine. And in France, the old order fell and Napoleon redrew the map of Europe. (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)

This volume by the British historian J.H.B. Masterman (1867-1933) is a short survey of the first four centuries after the fall of Rome. The author writes of Theodoric, King of the Ostrogoths, who sought to impose order on a shattered Italy, of the rise of the Franks under Clovis, and of the resurgence of the Eastern Empire under Justinian and his general, Belisarius. At the close of the book, Charlemagne's descendants are wrangling for power among themselves, while, writes Masterman, from "the north came the Norsemen, ravaging and plundering along every river valley which their long ships ...

In Wilderlands, archaeologist Eloise Kane unearths 12,000 years of our changing relationship with and influence on the landscape. Through prehistory, Roman occupation, the Middle Ages and beyond, we see the unfamiliar beasts of our old wild make way for species such as brown hare and fallow deer, now romanticised as eternal symbols of the British countryside, but introduced much later than we might think. Places free from our influence haven't existed for a very long time. But Eloise Kane invites us to rethink our definition of the wild - not as separate from us.

"Se si sta dentro un bosco in posizione di ascolto, prima o poi si avverte, si intuisce la presenza di un flusso di energia che circola tra i rami, le foglie, le radici. Talvolta è un sussurro, altre volte strepiti e grida. È come se le piante parlassero tra loro." Camminatore infaticabile e sensibilissimo osservatore della natura, Daniele Zovi, negli anni, questi suoni ha imparato ad ascoltarli e interpretarli.

In To the Island of Tides, Alistair Moffat travels to - and through the history of - the fated island of Lindisfarne. Walking from his home in the Borders, through the historical landscape of Scotland and northern England, he takes us on a pilgrimage in the footsteps of saints and scholars, before arriving for a secular retreat on the Holy Isle. To the Island of Tides is a meditation on the power of place, but also a more personal journey - a chance for a personal stocktaking and a reflection on where life leads us.

Data. Is it all about technology, engineering or coding? We often don't see the immediate impact on other fields. But life sciences require data to advance. Join pioneers, entrepreneurs, investors and academics to discover the power and influence of data in medicine, genomics, biodiversity, marine sciences... When data meets know-how in the life sciences, we immerse ourselves in a different world – bioinformatics. Supported by ELIXIR Europe

Europe’s freshwaters are in an alarming state. Water pollution, habitat destruction and the ongoing effects of climate change have caused significant biodiversity loss and ecological decline across the continent. There is a pressing need for major freshwater restoration projects which tackle these declines and bring rivers, streams, peatlands and wetlands back to life. MERLIN is a major European Union funded project which is investing millions of Euros to help mainstream freshwater restoration across the continent over the coming years. This podcast follows the MERLIN project in this journey...
