In Our Time: The companion to the Radio 4 series

Autor Melvyn Bragg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 sep 2010
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.

Recenzii

IN OUR TIME's success derives in part from the interested public having Melvyn Bragg in their corner... his lack of intellectual vanity is impress, but so is his grasp of the subjects at hand.
These transcripts select a treasure-trove of discussions from a decade of the Radio 4 jewel.
'The best programme on Radio 4 is In Our Time...it informs, educates and entertains'.
Melvyn Bragg's matchless colloquies on Radio 4
The best programme coming out of the entire corporation these days
Melvyn Bragg's consistently superb In Our Time
What might be the best radio programme ever
Bragg's excellent radio programmes on the subject ....are the basis of this history of English over the past 1,500 years.
Always readable, often thought-provoking, and consistently entertaining.
This is a highly readable, jargon-free treatise on a notoriously prickly subject. Bragg's affection for his subject is infectious.
Melvyn Bragg's superb new history of the English language is told as an adventure story, and rightly so. There is much splendid intellectual firepower in this book.
Beautifully clear and, indeed, thrilling
Bragg's approachable account...gleams with little gems. His enthusiasm is appealing...he digs beneath modernity and examines our bedrock with a sympathetic eye. It has power and clarity...this adventure is rewarding.
