Scrigni preziosi provenienti dagli abissi del tempo profondo: grazie ai fossili il paleontologo - al pari di un investigatore sulla scena del delitto - può ricostruire i capitoli più remoti della storia della vita sul nostro pianeta. Semi, gusci, denti, ossa, ma anche indizi di azioni e spostamenti, come ad esempio le "piste" lasciate dal passaggio di molte specie di dinosauri, o i segni delle grandi estinzioni di massa fanno luce sui fragili equilibri che hanno caratterizzato la storia della Terra.

Tales of Arabs, appaloosas, and paints - mistrusted and mistreated because of their breed - will give listeners a new perspective on these breeds and others.

At the dawn of the 20th century, humanity was facing global disaster. Mass starvation, long predicted for the fast-growing population, was about to become a reality. A call went out to the worlds scientists to find a solution. This is the story of the two enormously gifted, fatally flawed men who found it: the brilliant, self-important Fritz Haber and the reclusive, alcoholic Carl Bosch.

Nel volgere di pochi decenni, l’umanità è andata incontro a una rivoluzione nelle sue abitudini ancestrali. Senza che ce ne accorgessimo, la nostra specie, che fino a poco tempo fa viveva immersa nella natura abitando ogni angolo della Terra, ha finito per abitare una parte davvero irrisoria delle terre emerse del pianeta. Cosa è accaduto? Da specie generalista in grado di vivere dovunque, ci siamo trasformati, in poche generazioni, in una specie in grado di vivere in una sola e specifica nicchia ecologica: la città.

Who are we, and how do we relate to each other? Luciano Floridi, one of the leading figures in contemporary philosophy, argues that the explosive developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is changing the answer to these fundamental human questions.

Many horse trainers, even those who espouse the so-called natural horsemanship approach, take the position that horses who fail to obey a human's request are doing so as much out of perversity as ignorance. That's not Mark Rashid's view. In his words, "If we understand that horses can't separate the way they feel from the way they act, then we can start to see that unwanted behavior isn't bad behavior at all. More times than not, it's just the horse expressing the way he feels at that particular moment in time....
