Story
This lively history traces the evolution of the idea of evolution, showing how it has changed and been changed by different societies over time. It will put 'Darwin’s Dangerous Idea' into its proper context, showing how it built on what went before and how it was developed in the 20th century, through an understanding of genetics and the biochemical basis evolution. None of this diminishes the achievement of Darwin himself, but his contribution was one link in a chain that extends back into antiquity and is still being forged today.

Story
In 1620, a group of English families, known now as the Pilgrims, were carried from England to the New World on the Mayflower. When the Mayflower finally showed up in America on November 21, 1620, it had 102 guests and a team of around 30 on board, and was anchored off Cape Cod. The Pilgrims, as opposed to their Puritan coworkers, chose to break away from the Church of England because of its Roman Catholic heritage and the church's hesitation to reform, requiring them to pray in private instead of in the church.

Story
John Auden was a pioneering geologist of the Himalayas. Michael Spender was the first to survey the northern approach to the summit of Mount Everest. While their younger brothers - W. H. Auden and Stephen Spender - achieved literary fame, they vied for a place on an expedition that would finally conquer Everest, a quest that had become a metaphor for Britain’s efforts to maintain power over India. To this rivalry was added another: in the summer of 1938 both men fell in love with a painter named Nancy Sharp. Her choice would determine each man’s wartime loyalties.

During the Ice Age, early humans saw themselves constantly reflected in these planes of ice - and became more reflective themselves, beginning to create works of art, innovate through technology and develop language. In A Cold Spell: A Human History of Ice, Max Leonard takes us from the beginning of our story to the modern day, tracing the ways ice has influenced our development, our economies, our social customs and our lives - and what it means for us that it is rapidly disappearing from our planet.

Im Übergang zwischen den weithin unsystematischen Entdeckungsreisen des 15. bis 18. Jahrhunderts und der gegenwärtigen Gruppenforschung steht die über einhundert Jahre andauernde Phase der vor allem von herausragenden Einzelforschern getragenen Entdeckung der Erdoberfläche und ihrer Phänomene. In mehrfacher Hinsicht können Alexander von Humboldts Amerikareise (1799-1804) und Sven Hedins vierte Hochasien-Expedition (1927-1935) als Antipoden dieser Etappe der Erderforschung betrachtet werden.

Story
Macau is known as the Las Vegas of China. It attracts many tourists every year, and it has a unique set of laws and history behind it. How did it become this way? Well, one of the reasons is that it used to be part of the Portuguese Empire. We have probably all heard about the British in China, the Opium Wars, and the tea export, but you might not have heard about the Portuguese settlers who went there. Macau still shows signs of Portuguese influence, even when you go there to visit. So, let’s take a look at what happened and how the area evolved into what it is today.

Predators, ruthless warriors, looters, barbarians - these are some of the words that were used to describe Vikings. However, do those words really paint a clear picture of who Vikings were? The answer is no. Vikings were an influential lot that completely changed how things were done in Europe both economically and socially. During their time, the Vikings were so dominant to everyone that they single-handedly shaped an era.

La scoperta dell'America non fu soltanto la scoperta del Nuovo Mondo. Fu, prima ancora, la verifica della possibilità di una nuova maniera di fare i conti con ciò che esiste, attraverso uno sguardo e una pratica che hanno definito la natura dell'intera modernità e che ancora oggi restano in sostanza i nostri. Quello di Colombo fu davvero uno strano andare, di cui paradossalmente più tempo passa meno di certe si conosce. Una cosa è sicura: il viaggio di Colombo ha caratteristiche uniche.
