William Warde Fowler was a remarkable polymath whose early pursuits in natural history paved the way for his esteemed reputation as an authority on the history and religious traditions of ancient Rome.

In 1910, he made history as the first lay Sub-Rector of Oriel ...

In 1901, Frederic A. Lucas authored a comprehensive exploration of vertebrate animals, with their sole evidence residing in the fossil records. This work primarily examines vertebrates, spanning from fish to mammals. - Summary by ...

I started this podcast for people with ADHD, because I kept noticing how many important conversations never really happen—or too quietly, in moments we don’t always know how to explain. The questions we sit with. The thoughts we don’t say aloud. The experiences that change us, even when we don’t fully understand them yet. This podcast is a space for those moments. Each episode, I reflect on real experiences, ideas, and themes that shape how we think, grow, and move through the world. Sometimes it’s personal. Sometimes it’s exploratory. But it’s always honest. I’m not here to ...

In Time on Rock Anna Fleming charts two parallel journeys: learning the craft of traditional rock climbing, and the new developing appreciation of the natural world it brings her. Through the story of her progress from terrified beginner to confident lead climber she shows us how placing hand and foot on rock becomes a profound new way into the landscape. Anna takes us from the gritstone rocks of the Peak District and Yorkshire to the gabbro pinnacles of the Cullin, the slate of North Wales and the high plateau of the Cairngorms.

Dive into a gripping tale set against the backdrop of the War between the States, where dark forces and sinister powers lurk just beneath the surface. - Summary by Weird Tales, February 1939

Look around. Clearly, we humans are radically different from the other creatures on this planet. But why? Where are the Bronze Age beavers? The Iron Age iguanas? Byron Reese argues that we owe our special status to our ability to imagine the future and recall the past, escaping the perpetual present that all other living creatures are trapped in. Envisioning human history as the development of a societal superorganism he names Agora, Reese shows us how this escape enabled us to share knowledge on an unprecedented scale, and predict—and eventually master—the future.

Mars, the red planet, is ingrained in our culture, from David Bowie's extra-terrestrial spiders to Captain Scarlet to War of the Worlds. It has inspired hundreds of authors, scientists and science-fiction writers - but why? What is it about this particular planet that makes it so intriguing? Ancient mythologies defined Mars as a violent harbinger of war, star-gazers puzzled over its peculiar motion, and astrologers defined human personalities by its position and bizarre dance through the sky.
