Today is the sound of history being made - live on air. In an era
of fake news, echo chambers and new fault lines in global politics,
millions of listeners turn to BBC Radio 4's Today programme each
morning to help them make sense of the world around them. The first
ever book from the iconic programme marks six decades of BBC Radio
4's Today programme with sixty world changing stories as they were
broadcast. Covering war, rebellion and political transformation, to
significant changes in culture, society, and the scientific world,
the book explores events as they happened, and how they changed the
world around us. From the fall of the Berlin Wall and the
anti-apartheid movement to 9/11 and the Rise of Islamic State, from
the Rushdie affair to the emergence of Brit Art and from space
exploration to the tomorrow's world of artificial intelligence and
machine learning. Key figures within the book include Harold
Wilson, Margaret Thatcher, Stephen Hawking, Tracey Emin and Barack
Obama. Chapters include: Chapter 1: Rebellion, Revolution and
Protest Chapter 2: Britain's Political Landscape Chapter 3: War,
Conflict and Security Chapter 4: Art, Culture and Sport Chapter 5:
Social Change Chapter 6: The Natural World, Science and Technology
Also available in Audio and Ebook. Edited by Edward Stourton
Forewords by Nick Robinson & Martha Kearney With an
introduction by Sarah Sands, editor of the Today programme.
Shortlisted for the 2019 FutureBook of the Year award
