La palabra "oposición" tiene una doble cara: por un lado, define un proceso selectivo de la Administración Pública, y por otro, evoca resistencia y lucha. En 'Oposición', la nueva novela de Sara Mesa, esta dualidad se convierte en un reflejo de las contradicciones de nuestra sociedad. Nos adentramos en su historia, donde el sistema, la precariedad y la presión social se hacen protagonistas.Además, exploramos el mundo desde otra perspectiva: el sonido. No solo percibimos el entorno con la vista, sino que cada espacio tiene su propia melodía. Miguel Ángel Delgado nos guía a través de 'La melodía del mundo', de Caspar Henderson, un libro publicado por Ático de los Libros que nos invita a escuchar la realidad que nos rodea.El arte también tiene su espacio con Sean Scully, el artista irlandés que inaugura en La Pedrera su mayor retrospectiva hasta la fecha. Más de sesenta piezas, entre pinturas, esculturas y fotografías, ofrecen una visión completa de su obra, como nos cuenta Montse Soto.Y, para cerrar, un genio indiscutible: Mozart. Aunque su genialidad es bien conocida, pocos recuerdan que con solo 14 años compuso Mitridate, re di Ponto, una ópera que, sorprendentemente, no había sido representada en España hasta ahora. Una obra temprana que ya anunciaba su grandeza.Escuchar audio

Georgina Godwin is joined by two authors who are both on a quest to find new ways to listen – and they invite you to do the same. Dutch-born writer Michel Faber has written several works of fiction including ‘The Crimson Petal and the White'. His first non-fiction book, ‘Listen: On Music, Sound and Us' explores how psychological pressure influences musical taste. Author and science journalist Caspar Henderson's ‘A Book of Noises: Notes on the Auraculous', shows us how we can become re-enchanted by the sounds around us, from the everyday to the celestial.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Seems like there isn't much your smartphone CAN'T do. However, one weakness it has is the inability to stand up to cold weather. This episode begins with an explanation of why and how your phone is so vulnerable to the cold and what to do about it. https://blog.gaiagps.com/how-to-keep-your-phone-alive-in-cold-weather/ What makes human intelligence superior to the intelligence of other creatures? What are the flaws in human thinking? Will AI ever really be able to think like a human brain or is that really impossible? Listen to my discussion with Max Bennett and you will come away with a very different understanding of both human and artificial intelligence. Max is cofounder and CEO of Alby, a start-up in the AI business. He has published numerous scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and he has been featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Max is author of the book A Brief History of Intelligence (https://amzn.to/3N8mJbr). You probably aren't paying attention to it – but right now you are likely hearing sounds. Maybe it is traffic noise or music or the washing machine. We are always hearing something. It turns out that sound plays a much bigger role in your life than you imagine -both good and bad. Here to help you understand why the sounds that surround you are so important is Caspar Henderson. He is a writer and journalist who covers topics such as energy, science and the environment and he is author of the book, A Book of Noises: Notes on the Auraculous (https://amzn.to/3t4vNY4). If you plan to take a lot of photos or videos of family around the holidays, you should be aware of something. You see, there is one thing people often forget to do that they later regret.

My guest in this week's Book Club podcast is Caspar Henderson, whose new book A Book of Noises: Notes on the Auraculous really is a journey into sound. He tells me why the music of the spheres – at least in this solar system – is a terrible racket, what we can learn from whale earwax, and why bat-squeaks are, in fact, very very loud indeed.

Quali forme corporee potrebbero avere le forme di vita aliene? Sarebbero sociali o individualisti? Avrebbero un linguaggio oppure no? Si muoverebbero o rimarrebbero fermi? Sarebbero capaci di sviluppare una tecnologia? Lo zoologo Arik Kershenbaum prova a porsi queste ed altre domande simili nell'affascinante libro di cui vi parlo oggi.

Are humans distinguished not just by a capacity to think, but by our need to believe - where the search is not so much for my place in the world, but for our place in the cosmos? Neil MacGregor, the former Director of the British Museum, discusses Living with the Gods, his Radio 4 series, in which he focuses on the expression of shared beliefs, across thousands of years, and around the globe, through objects from the Museum's collections and beyond. The curator Jennifer Sliwka looks at a world in black and white, in a celebration of the monochrome in art across the centuries, from medieval sacred works, where the elimination of colour was thought to focus the mind, to contemporary paintings. The historian Dan Jones tells the story of the ultimate holy warriors, the Knights Templar, a story of power, politics and fanaticism. The writer Caspar Henderson takes a step back to consider the awe-inspiring - from divine visions to transcendent moments - and to ask whether we are in danger of losing our sense of wonder in the modern world.
