Maar in de lange geschiedenis van onze planeet is geen element zo allesbepalend geweest als de natuur. In De transformatie van de aarde neemt de historicus ons mee in een verhaal dat eeuwen en continenten overspant.

I denne uges udgave af Langsomme Samtaler med Rune Lykkeberg fortæller han, hvordan det har påvirket hans syn på klimakrisen at skrive naturforandringerne ind i den store historie. For Frankopans vedkommende har det blandt andet betydet, at klimaforandringer er ikke noget, vi står sammen over for som art.

Great LivesPeter Frankopan on Konstantin TsiolkovskyBearded, profoundly deaf and somewhat eccentric, Tsiolkovsky's theoretical work means he is, for many, the "father of space travel". He died in 1935, and so never saw his research come to fruition.

Matthew's other guest is Doug Millard, Curator of Space Technology at the Science Museum.

The World in Time / Lapham’s QuarterlyEpisode 14: Peter FrankopanPeter Frankopan’s The Silk Roads looks at the many ways the world connects itself, going well beyond trade routes to tell a story about the energies that shaped the course of history. In moving silk, spices, furs, gold, silver, slaves, religion, and disease on the Silk Road, the West became linked to people and ideas in the region between the Mediterranean and the Himalayas. It’s the origin, argues Frankopan, of our interconnected world.
Lewis H. Lapham talks with Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads: A New History of the World.
