Melvyn Bragg's In Our Time series regularly enlightens and
entertains substantial audiences on BBC Radio 4. For this book he
has selected episodes which reflect the diversity of the radio
programmes, and takes us on an amazing tour through the history of
ideas, from philosophy, physics and history to religion, literature
and biology. We can discover the reasons for the fall of the
Byzantine empire, and why women were persecuted as witches in the
seventeenth century. What shape is the origin of life? Where does
our calendar come from? We can unearth the influence of prime
numbers, Socrates and Tectonic plates. Melvyn Bragg orchestrates
the ideas of leading academics in each field so that the dynamic
and lively discussion from the programmes comes through vividly on
the page. IN OUR TIME brings to life the signposts of history, the
moments that significantly changed the world as we know it, and the
individuals and ideas that made us what we are today.
