Raised in a lush suburb of 1920s Paris, Noor Inayat Khan was an introspective musician and writer, dedicated to her family and to her father’s spiritual values of harmony, beauty, and tolerance. She did not seem destined for wartime heroism. Yet, faced with the evils of Nazi violence and the German occupation of France, Noor joined the British Special Operations Executive and trained in espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance.

Téměř celé 20. století probíhalo ve znamení střetu demokracie s fašismem. Po hrůzách druhé světové války se zdálo, že svět už nepřipustí, aby se duchovní dědicové Hitlera a Mussoliniho pokusili o návrat. Audiokniha přední osobnosti světové diplomacie s českými kořeny, Madeleine Albrightové, v jedinečném podání Táni Fischerové tento optimistický předpoklad zpochybňuje. Kyvadlo dějin směřující po pádu Berlínské zdi k demokracii se vydává opačným směrem.

Many readers and listeners are already familiar with Madeleine Kunin, the former three-term governor of Vermont, who served as the deputy secretary of education and ambassador to Switzerland under President Bill Clinton. In her newest book, a memoir entitled Coming of Age: My Journey to the Eighties, the topic is aging, but she looks well beyond the physical tolls and explores the emotional ones as well. And she has had an extraordinary life: governor, ambassador, feminist, wife, mother, professor, poet, and much, much more.

Host Madeleine Brand looks at news, culture and emerging trends through the lens of Los Angeles.

Stuart E. Eizenstat was at Jimmy Carter’s side from his political rise in Georgia through four years in the White House, where he served as Chief Domestic Policy Adviser. He was directly involved in all domestic and economic decisions as well as in many foreign policy ones. Famous for the legal pads he took to every meeting, he draws on more than 7500 pages of notes and 350 interviews of all the major figures of the time, to write the comprehensive history of an underappreciated president—and to give an intimate view on how the presidency works.

In Educational Pluralism and American Democracy, education policy expert Ashley Rogers Berner envisions a K-12 education system that serves both the individual and the common good. Calling for education reform that will enable US public schools to fulfill the longstanding promise of American education, Berner proposes a radical reimagining of both the structure and content of US public school systems. She urges policymakers to embrace educational pluralism, an internationally common model in which the government funds diverse types of schools that deliver more universal content.

Das Ziel der Pariser Klimakonferenz von 2015, die Erderwärmung auf 1,5 Grad Celsius zu beschränken, gilt für die Wissenschaft als gescheitert. Laut Weltklimarat steuert unser Planet bis zum Ende des Jahrhunderts auf eine Erwärmung von mindestens 2,8 Grad Celsius zu. Das brächte unser gesamtes Ökosystem zum Kippen und die Menschheit an den Rand der Überlebensfähigkeit: Stürme, schmelzende Polkappen, Dürren und Flutkatastrophen werden Städte und Länder bedrohen und damit den Lebensraum von Menschen und Tieren auf sämtlichen Kontinenten. Wie können wir diesen Kipppunkten entgegenwirken?
