Neue Bücher von Hugh Aldersey-Williams, Tobias Hürter, Peter Littger, László Krasznahorkai und Evke Rulffes. Redaktion und Moderation: Lukas Meyer-Blankenburg

Christiaan Huygens sagt heute nur Fachleuten etwas. Dabei gehört der Gelehrte aus dem 17. Jahrhundert in eine Reihe mit Größen wie Galileo Galilei oder Isaac Newton. Huygens entwarf eine Wellentheorie des Lichts, beobachtete Planeten und begründete die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung. „Die Wellen des Lichts“ beleuchtet sein wundersames Wissenschaftler-Leben – eine lohnende Lektüre. Rezension von Dirk Lorenzen. Aus dem Englischen von Elsbeth Ranke und Sabine Reinhardus Hanser Verlag, 512 Seiten, 28 Euro ISBN 978-3-446-26770-1

If you know the name of Christiaan Huygens at all, it'll probably be as the man who gave his name to a space probe. But Hugh Aldersey-Williams, author of Dutch Light: Christaan Huygens and the Making of Science in Europe, joins this week's Book Club podcast to argues that this half-forgotten figure was the most important scientist between Galileo and Newton. He tells a remarkable story of advances in optics, geometry, probability, mathematics, astronomy - as well as the invention of the pendulum clock and the discovery of the rings of Saturn - against the backdrop of a turbulent post-Reformation Europe and the beginnings of an international scientific community. Plus, we identify an early-modern prototype for Dominic Cummings in the court of Louis XIV.  

In this episode of Travels Through Time the author and journalist Hugh Aldersey-Williams takes us back to 1655 and the vibrant heart of the Dutch Golden Age to meet Christiaan Huygens, a figure oddly forgotten by us today but who was once venerated as the greatest mathematician, astronomer and physicist of his age. Hugh guides us back to the year 1655 to see Christiaan make his thrilling discovery of one of Saturn's moons; to watch him struggle with the mathematical problem of pendular motion, and to follow him as he enters Paris - the city he would come to love - for the very first time. Much much more about the scenes, characters and materials discussed in this conversation can be found at www.tttpodcast.com The discussion in this episode of Travels Through Time arises from the characters and events described by Hugh Aldersey-Williams in his new book, Dutch Light: Christiaan Huygens and the making of science in Europe which is recently published in hardback by Picador Show notes Scene One: 25 March 1655. With Christiaan and his telescope in the garden of the Huygens’s house in The Hague. The discovery of Saturn’s moon later to be called Titan. Scene Two: 4 March 1655, Huygens recommends a Polish inventor’s clock for Dutch patent, demonstrating that he is already thinking about the problem of pendular motion. Scene Three: 23 July 1655, Huygens arrives in Paris - the city that he would grow to love - for the very first time Memento: One of Huygens’s magic lanterns People Presenter: Peter Moore Guest: Hugh Aldersey-Williams Production: Maria Nolan Podcast partner: Colorgraph Follow us on Twitter: @tttpodcast_ See where 1655 fits on our Timeline

The Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev attempted nothing less than to pull apart the fabric of reality and expose the hidden patterns that lie beneath everything in existence, from shoes and ships and sealing wax to cabbages and kings. The result was something known to almost everyone who has ever been to school: the Periodic Table of the elements. But why this particular arrangement? And why is it still the foundation of chemistry? Quentin Cooper is joined by Hugh Aldersey-Williams, who since he was a teenager has collected samples of elements and has drawn on his samples and knowledge to write Periodic Tales: The Curious Lives of the Elements; Michael Gordin, Professor of History at Princeton University and the author of A Well-Ordered Thing: Dmitri Mendeleev and the Shadow of the Periodic Table; Ann Robinson, Historian at the University of Massachusetts studying the development of the periodic table; And Eugene Babaev, Professor of Chemistry at Moscow State University who maintains both Russian and English websites on Mendeleev and his work.

Menneskene har alltid vært fascinert av blod, og alle slags betydninger og funksjoner har vært knyttet til denne røde væsken som pumper rundt i oss. Men hva vet vi idag om blod, og hvilke teknologiske fremskritt har forandret og kommer til å forandre vårt forhold til blod?  De to glade og vitebegjærlige amatører Lars og Pål har lest seg opp på dette temaet, og snakker så etterrettelig som de kan om hva blod er for noe. Det er ikke lite man idag har funnet ut, så det ble en lang episode. Om det er noe i episoden du ønsker å gi oss en tilbakemelding på, send oss gjerne en epost til larsogpaal@gmail.com, eventuelt stikk innom vår facebookside og si det der.  Del episoden med andre vitebegjærlige, og omtal oss gjerne der du etterlater dine omtaler, om det er iTunes eller andre steder. Tusen takk!  Og, om du vil, bli blodgiver! All info du trenger finner du på giblod.no Her er endel av de referansene vi har benyttet oss av i arbeidet med episoden: Artikler fra nett: Julie E.

Tom Sutcliffe explores health and well-being from the musings of a 17th century doctor to the latest research into psychosomatic illness. The GP, Gavin Francis celebrates the marvels of the human body while Hugh Aldersey-Williams looks back at the life of the celebrated and ever-curious doctor Sir Thomas Browne. The consultant neurologist Suzanne O'Sullivan accepts that telling a patient 'it's all in your head' is unhelpful, but how do you treat those whose symptoms are medically unexplained, and may well have an emotional cause? Charlie Howard runs a youth mental health charity which takes the health professionals out of the clinic and onto the streets, and involves young people at all levels of diagnosis and treatment. Producer: Katy Hickman.

Matthew Sweet talks to Hugh Aldersey-Williams, Claire Preston and Gavin Francis about the mind-adventures of doctors in time and space. Sir Thomas Browne was a man fascinated by everything from nature to religion, to the shock of the new. How does his story resonate now?
