Atlantropa, c'est l'un des projets les plus vertigineux — et les plus inquiétants — jamais imaginés au XXᵉ siècle : faire baisser le niveau de la Méditerranée pour relier physiquement l'Europe et l'Afrique, tout en produisant une énergie gigantesque. Une utopie technologique, née dans l'entre-deux-guerres, à une époque où l'on croyait que l'ingénierie pouvait remodeler la planète.L'idée vient d'un architecte allemand : Hermann Sörgel. Dès la fin des années 1920, il propose un plan titanesque baptisé Atlantropa. Son principe est simple… sur le papier : construire un barrage colossal au détroit de Gibraltar. Comme l'eau de l'Atlantique n'alimenterait plus la Méditerranée librement, l'évaporation naturelle ferait progressivement baisser le niveau de la mer. Sörgel imagine une baisse d'environ 100 à 200 mètres, ce qui ferait émerger d'immenses terres nouvelles : des zones côtières actuelles deviendraient des plaines, et des ports comme Marseille, Barcelone ou Gênes se retrouveraient très loin du rivage.Mais Atlantropa ne se limitait pas à Gibraltar. Sörgel envisageait aussi un barrage aux Dardanelles pour contrôler la mer Noire, et un autre entre la Sicile et la Tunisie, afin de séparer et réguler les bassins méditerranéens. Il rêvait d'un réseau de chantiers pharaoniques, mobilisant des centaines de milliers d'ouvriers pendant des décennies.Pourquoi faire tout ça ? Officiellement, pour trois objectifs. D'abord, produire de l'énergie : le barrage de Gibraltar devait fonctionner comme une centrale hydroélectrique gigantesque, utilisant la différence de niveau entre l'Atlantique et la Méditerranée. Ensuite, créer des terres cultivables : les nouvelles surfaces émergées devaient servir à l'agriculture et à l'installation de populations européennes. Enfin, construire une paix durable : Sörgel imaginait qu'un continent euro-africain uni, autosuffisant en énergie, deviendrait stable et puissant.Mais derrière l'utopie, Atlantropa porte aussi une vision très problématique : celle d'une Europe dominatrice, qui “réorganise” l'Afrique comme un espace à exploiter et à aménager selon ses besoins. Le projet s'inscrit dans une logique coloniale : relier les continents… mais surtout mettre l'Afrique au service de l'Europe.Techniquement, Atlantropa était presque irréalisable. Les impacts auraient été immenses : bouleversement du climat, perturbation des écosystèmes marins, modification des courants, crise pour la pêche, déplacement des populations côtières, destruction de ports. Sans parler du risque géopolitique : qui contrôlerait Gibraltar ? Qui déciderait du niveau de la mer ?Atlantropa n'a jamais vu le jour. Mais il reste un symbole fascinant : celui d'une époque où certains pensaient que l'humanité pouvait “corriger” la géographie. Une folie grandiose… et un avertissement historique sur les limites du rêve technocratique. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

S3, Ep : 24. Paradores of Spain: Sleeping in History, Chasing the EclipseIn this new episode of Spanish Loops, we travel through one of Spain's most unique and quietly ambitious success stories: Paradores de Turismo. More than just a hotel chain, Paradores is a living idea: one born from the need to protect Spain's historical heritage while opening the country to travelers in a thoughtful, dignified way.The concept emerged in the early 20th century, when Spain realized that its castles, monasteries, palaces, and fortresses could have a second life. Instead of becoming ruins or museums frozen in time, they could welcome guests. The very first Parador opened in 1928 in the Sierra de Gredos, setting the tone for a model that blended hospitality, preservation, and national identity. From that moment on, sleeping in history became part of the journey.But Paradores are not just about beautiful rooms with thick stone walls and dramatic views. Over the decades, they have played a key role in boosting local economies, supporting rural areas, creating stable jobs, and protecting regional traditions. Their kitchens became ambassadors of local gastronomy,turning traditional recipes into something to be proud of, refined without losing their soul. Staying in a Parador often means tasting the region as much as seeing it.Today, Paradores stand as a symbol of Spain's public hospitality model: elegant, rooted in history, and deeply connected to place. They represent a national style of hostelry that many countries admire and few have managed to replicate. And in this episode, there is a big surprise.Jorge reveals a project he has been carefully developing for over a year: an extraordinary 2027 eclipse tour. During the longest total solar eclipse visible on Earth in the next 200 years, Ceuta (Spanish territory in Africa) will sit right at the center of the path of totality. We'll experience the eclipse fromthe Parador of Ceuta, with the rest of the journey unfolding in Southern Spain near Málaga and finishing in the historic city of Cádiz.It will be summer, but don't be fooled by the heat. We'll be by the water constantly and the Mediterranean and Atlantic breeze cools the temperature down. And yes, we'll cross the Strait of Gibraltar by helicopter. (There is an option B, just in case.)Seats are limited. If you want to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime experience, write directly to Jorge at travelingwithjorge.web@gmail.com and get on the list.History, travel, and the sky itself. This episode brings it all together!

A heartfelt travel reflection + big life lessons

Today I am re-releasing an episode I recorded in 2019 about Allan Grimson, a totally depraved excuse for a man who murdered at least two Royal Navy Sailors and it is speculated, up to as many as twenty others. The reason I have re-released this episode for you today, is because as you may have heard, the police announced last week that they have ended the investigation into the disappearance of Simon Parkes in Gibraltar - a man widely thought to have been another of Grimson's victims. I don't think this story is widely enough known and so wanted to release it again as a tribute to the two men who were killed by Grimson - Nicholas Wright and Sion Jenkins - and to raise awareness in the hope that Simon's devastated family and friends can finally discover what happened to him.

Hello and welcome to the 100th episode of Making Stitches Podcast. Way back in April of 2020 when I published my first ever Making Stitches Podcast episode, I had no idea that over 5 years later, I would be publishing episode 100! That blows my tiny mind!In the months leading up to this milestone, I had a couple of conversations with my lovely yarny friend, Christine Perry (aka Winwick Mum) and she suggested marking this podcast milestone with a different kind of episode - one with me as the guest.After much consideration, I took Christine up on her kind offer and let her turn the tables - asking me the questions instead. At the start of December, we had a lovely time having a long chat and recording this episode. Among the topics we covered were where I first learned to sew, knit and crochet, my career in journalism and how I got started in radio, our family's time in Gibraltar and how that led to starting my Postcard from Gibraltar blog back in 2015, making friends through the world of creativity, podcasting and blogging and, of course, 5 years of Making Stitches Podcast. I hope you enjoy listening!Huge thanks to Christine for being the host of Making Stitches Podcast this time!

Show Notes Ted Caplow graduated with a degree in social science and has had a career in engineering and entrepreneurship. He describes his initial interest in science and his experience with physics at Harvard, which he found challenging. Ted shares his interest in humanities, particularly theater, and his involvement in various theater activities at Harvard. He discusses his consideration of theater conservatory programs and urban planning after graduation.  Joining the Peace Corps and Sailing across the Atlantic Ted recounts his application to the Peace Corps and the unexpected technical fields he was qualified for, which were teaching  English or beekeeping. This led him to reconsider his career path. He describes his sailing adventure across the Atlantic Ocean with his family and friends. They left shortly after graduation and the trip lasted six months. They stopped in the Azores for a couple of weeks, onto Gibraltar and Spain, through the Mediterranean. They stopped in Sardinia and stayed in Malta for a month; they sailed to Greece, the islands and Cyprus where they stopped and decided whether to continue around the world or go back to real life.  Returning to New York and the Theater Industry Ted returned and went to New York where he  joined the theater industry, working on production and starting his own theatrical company. Ted talks about his involvement in the theater industry, including producing interdisciplinary performances and meeting his first wife through a mutual friend. He describes his transition from theater to entrepreneurship. He started his own company and a non-profit theater company. This lasted a few years before Ted felt he should focus on a more technical field and he discusses the separation between creative pursuits and technical professions. Ultimately, he decided to pursue urban planning and his interest in sustainable development. A Shift to Engineering Ted shares his experience at Princeton and Columbia, where he pursued a PhD in engineering, despite initial doubts about his qualifications. He reflects on the challenges and rewards of his academic journey, including the intense environment at Princeton and the decision to pursue a master's degree instead of a PhD. He wrote his masters' thesis on solar power. Moving on from academia, Ted's next job was with a yacht designer. He then ran his friend's restaurant for two years before going back to school and earning his PhD. in engineering at Columbia in 2004. The Development of the Science Barge  Ted explains his idea to create a sustainable technology laboratory in the Bahamas, why he became interested in hydroponics, and why he didn't go to the Bahamas. He explains how the original idea evolved into the Science Barge in the Hudson River.  The Science Barge was a hydroponic greenhouse with solar panels, wind power, and aquaponics, designed to educate schoolchildren about sustainable technologies such as recycling the waste water. Ted discusses the challenges of moving the barge every two months and the decision to find a permanent home for it in Yonkers, and how this venture inspired the SunWork Center project. Sustainable Development Success Stories He highlights the success of the SunWork Center, a greenhouse on the rooftop of PS 333 in Manhattan, and the expansion of New York SunWorks to over 300 schools. Ted describes the development of Bright Farms, a commercial company that grew local produce in greenhouses on top of grocery stores. He shares the challenges and successes of Bright Farms, including partnerships with major retailers and the acquisition by Cox Enterprises. Ted reflects on the importance of sustainable design and the impact of his work on the food industry. He discusses the evolution of his design firm, Caplow Manzano, and its focus on creating durable, resilient homes that prioritize human health and environmental sustainability.  Technological Innovation in Building Ted talks about his personal journey and the diverse skills he has developed over the years. He reflects on the importance of technological innovation, the role of engineering in his work, and the difficulty of navigating and innovating around  all the components of building houses. Ted shares his plans for expanding his design firm's impact and the potential for scaling sustainable design solutions. Harvard Reflections He expresses gratitude for the opportunities and challenges that have shaped his career and looks forward to continuing his work in sustainable design and education. He mentions E.O. Wilson for Evolutionary Biology as an incredible talent and researcher in that field. He also mentions a poetry class with Seamus Heaney. He also mentions a class on China and one on Africa that he found inspiring and eye opening, and taking classes on Shakespeare from actors in the repertory theater.

Los fármacos adelgazantes se han convertido en un fenómeno global. Ozempic sobre todo, pero Wegovy, Mounjaro… son nombres que ya se escuchan por todas partes. Mientras el sobrepeso y la obesidad crecen, también lo hacen los trastornos de la alimentación, la gordofobia y el culto a la imagen. Y quienes pueden permitírselo —porque las dosis de solo un mes pueden costar entre 200 y 400 euros, y el tratamiento puede alargarse muchos— están comprando estos medicamentos, en algunos casos en el mercado negro y sin receta ni necesidad clínica. En plena fiebre por estos medicamentos, la Organización Mundial de la Salud ha publicado una guía que marca cómo deben usarse: ya los clasificaba como esenciales para personas con diabetes, ahora los amplía en casos de obesidad. No los rechaza, para algunas personas pueden ser una herramienta útil, aunque no los indica para todo el mundo ni en ningún caso como tratamiento exclusivo ni sin seguimiento médico. Y advierte de que no pueden quedar solo al alcance de los que tengan el dinero suficiente para pagarlos. Intervienen Mario Fontán, epidemiólogo social y asesor de la Secretaría de Estado del Ministerio de Sanidad, y Lucía Franco, periodista de EL PAÍS que ha investigado el mercado negro de los fármacos adelgazantes y aporta testimonios de vendedores.

Construir un puente entre Europa y África suena increíble, pero es mucho más complicado de lo que parece. El Estrecho de Gibraltar, donde los dos continentes están más cerca, tiene aproximadamente 8 millas de ancho, pero el agua allí es muy profunda, ¡hasta 3,000 pies en algunos lugares! Además, el área es muy ventosa y tiene fuertes corrientes, lo que hace que la construcción sea un desafío adicional. Los ingenieros han propuesto ideas, como túneles flotantes o puentes colgantes superlargos, pero costarían una fortuna y todavía enfrentarían enormes obstáculos técnicos. También entran en juego desafíos políticos y económicos, ya que tal puente requeriría cooperación entre múltiples países.

Continuing our mini series on the fascinating maritime history of Malta, we jump several centuries forward to the Second World War, in which Malta, an isolated rock in the middle of the Mediterranean, suddenly found itself at the very heart of the war. To the north the Italians were flexing their naval muscles; to the south the Germans had invaded North Africa; to the east and west ran a crucial maritime artery of global trade and military movement between Gibraltar and Suez. To find out more about Malta's strategic importance during World War II Dr Sam Willis visits the National War Museum in Fort St Elmo and speaks with Keith Gatt, curator of Malta's WWII history at Heritage Malta. They discuss how Malta's central Mediterranean location made it crucial for controlling sea lanes and interfering with Axis convoys. The island faced severe air and naval attacks, with over 6,000 tons of bombs dropped in April 1942 alone. Key events include the Taranto raid in 1940, the 10th submarine flotilla's operations, and the pivotal Operation Pedestal in August 1942. The discussion also highlights the human cost, with around 1,500 civilian casualties. Sam goes on to explore numerous artefacts recovered from the war with Curtis Callus, the museum's Assistant Curator. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Durante casi cuatro décadas, la dictadura de Francisco Franco definió las relaciones de España con el mundo. Desde su alineamiento con el Eje durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta los pactos con Estados Unidos en plena Guerra Fría, pasando por el aislamiento internacional, la descolonización en África o las tensiones con Gibraltar, el régimen franquista construyó una política exterior pragmática y cambiante, siempre subordinada a la supervivencia del dictador. Hoy en día, herencias como las bases militares estadounidenses, las relaciones con el mundo árabe o el conflicto del Sáhara siguen siendo fundamentales para entender la España contemporánea. Hoy en "No es el fin del mundo" hablamos de la geopolítica del franquismo. Libros recomendados: "La política exterior del Franquismo", de Julio Gil Pecharromán "La política exterior de España: de 1800 hasta hoy", coord.

In The American Revolution and the Fate of the World, historian Richard Bell explores how the struggle for American independence reverberated far beyond the thirteen colonies—reshaping politics, empires, and ideas of liberty around the globe. Bell reveals how revolutionaries from Boston to Bengal, Paris to Port-au-Prince, drew inspiration and warning from the events of 1776. The American Revolution became a test case for freedom in an age of empire. Looking at the stories of individuals caught up in its ferment, Bell shows how the Revolution reshaped the world. Tell us what you think! Send us a text message!

I spoke with him in Episode 37, and he told of taking a humber barge across the Bay of Biscay, and his creative escape from Gibraltar.  I had the chance to catch up with Captain Tonz again, and he shares more of his interesting stories including a dicey shipwreck, smuggling camels, and how pirates can, and do, help preserve the health of the world's oceans.

Kev shares his memories (those he can still recall through cocktail-infused eyes) of the Judo boys-on-tour trip to Gibraltar, and Neale is wrestling with a washing machine that's doing its best to flood the house. Questions for the show include decisions on why to shoot wide open, whether a GFX will cause editing problems on an older iMac, if a GFX can be a decent travel companion, and electronic zoom or zooming in Lightroom - what's less destructive? We're still noodling over AI, we talk about Google Maps, cameras with patina, what art forms inspire your photography and why your pictures may be muddy in post-production.

At the outbreak of the American Revolution, the British Empire stretched across nearly every corner of the globe. From India to the Caribbean, from Africa to Gibraltar to the Canadian provinces, Britain's reach was vast. In 1776, the thirteen colonies that chose to rebel represented only half of the empire's provinces. The other half—places like Quebec, Nova Scotia, Jamaica, and Bermuda—remained loyal to the Crown. But why? Why did some colonists believe their grievances justified independence, while others–who were often similarly aggrieved–chose not to revolt?To answer this, Trevor Burnard and Andrew Jackson O'Shaughnessy invite us to see the Revolution not just as a national story of the United States, but as part of a larger imperial crisis that spanned the globe. Britain's challenge was to govern an array of distant, diverse territories during a period of reform and unrest. Turning our attention to colonies that stayed within the empire, we gain a more complex perspective. The Revolution was not only about republicanism, liberty, and democracy; it was also about empire, and the different ways colonial societies and elites responded to imperial governance.For show notes and other material, go to https://www.historicallythinking.org/p/republic-and-empire?r=257pn6; and subscribe to the Historically Thinking Substack at www.historicallythinking.org

HEADLINE: The Zanclean Flood, Dwarfed Island Life, and Transatlantic Rafting in the Miocene and Oligocene BOOK TITLE: Other Lands, a journey through Earth's Extinct Worlds GUEST AUTHOR NAME: Thomas Halliday 200-WORD SUMMARY: This segment covers the Miocene and Oligocene eras. In the Miocene (5.3 million years ago), the Mediterranean basin dried out after losing its connection to the Atlantic at the Straits of Gibraltar. This basin was dramatically refilled during the spectacular Zanclean Flood, caused by an earthquake that allowed the Atlantic to surge back, resulting in a mile-high waterfall near Sicily. Before the flood, Gargano Island (now a peninsula in Italy) was home to dwarf fauna. Fossils recovered from its caves include Hoplomeryx, a deer-like organism characterized by saber teeth and five horns. Its main predators were giant birds, such as eagles and buzzard relatives. Moving to the Oligocene(33 million years ago), the discussion centers on South America as an island continent and the spread of grasslands. Grasses defended themselves with silica crystals, necessitating the evolution of specialized grazers with continually growing teeth, like early horses. A key evolutionary event was transoceanic rafting. African monkeys, rodents, freshwater fish, and amphibians crossed the Atlantic Ocean—which was two-thirds its modern width—on structurally sound fragments of land that detached during storms.
