El consumo de estupefacientes se ha convertido en un problema social y de salud pública en todo el planeta. En los últimos años destaca el abuso del fentanilo en EEUU por sus dramáticos efectos en los consumidores, que parecen muertos vivientes. Hemos entrevistado a José Cárdenas Quesada, investigador del Instituto de Investigación Biomédica de Málaga. Con Pedro Gargantilla hemos conocido que es la “sisifemia”, un riesgo laboral que provoca vivir con una carga constante de trabajo, y cuyo término proviene del mito griego de Sísifo. Eva Sacristán nos ha informado de que los urogallos pirenaicos están infectados por parásitos sanguíneos relacionados con la malaria aviar y por un herpesvirus (con testimonios de Carlos Sacristán Yagüe, investigador del CISA-INIA-CSIC) y de un estudio que alerta del riesgo de que los osos polares mueran por inanición por culpa de los veranos más largos. Hemos informado de la concesión del Premio Fundación BBVA Fronteras del Conocimiento en Ciencias Básicas a Claire Voisin y Yakov Eliashberg por tender puentes entre las denominadas geometrías algebraica y simpléctica, que exploran “espacios de grandes dimensiones, son difíciles de visualizar y hacen necesarias nuevas técnicas matemáticas para comprenderlos y estudiarlos. Con Humberto Bustince hemos analizado algunos de los riesgos de la IA y la normativa europea que pretende un mayor control. Jesús Martínez Frías nos ha hablado de la misión Psyche de la NASA hacia el asteroide del mismo nombre, una enorme roca metálica cuyos materiales se han valorado en trillones de dólares. El físico, explorador y escritor Javier Cacho ha podido pisar la isla antártica que lleva su nombre y nos ha contado cómo fue ese momento. Hemos reseñado los libros “Cosmosapiens. La evolución humana desde los orígenes del universo", de John Hands (La esfera de los libros); "Homo antecessor. El nacimiento de una especie", de José María Bermúdez de Castro y Eudald Carbonell (Crítica); “El arte de la estadística. Cómo aprender de los datos”, de David Spiegelhalter (Capitán Swing); y “Atlas de lo invisible. Mapas y gráficos que cambiarán tu visión del mundo”, de James Cheshire y Oliver Uberti (GeoPlaneta).

Today, we're trialing a new episode format: “a day in the life of…”, where we'll be interviewing GLaD folks to get the scoop and the behind-the-scenes view on what it is like to live their life. As inaugural guest, we have the pleasure of welcoming to the studio a rock star of maps: Professor James Cheshire. Join us for a conversation spanning from James' origins and first steps into mapmaking all the way his current dual life as the director of a data science institute and successful book author. Remember we now have a mailbox where you can reach us with comments, suggestions, critique and praise, and maybe even hot takes! Send your thoughts to thegladpodcast@gmail.com and, while you're at it, give us a rate wherever you listen to GLaD, it's single best thing you can do to help the podcast (that, and telling your friends about it!).

An atlas is a guide to the world around us, perhaps most commonly seen as a collection of road maps to help one navigate across a country. But there are hidden patterns and phenomena that exist outside of what we see in the physical world. In this episode, authors James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti pull back the curtain to reveal a panacea of information in Atlas of the Invisible and how thoughtful visualizations alongside rich narratives can bring a new clarity to our understanding of the world. James Cheshire, Oliver Uberti & The Atlas of the Invisible
Award-winning geographer-designer team James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti transform enormous datasets into rich maps and cutting-edge visualizations. In this triumph of visual storytelling, they uncover truths about our past, reveal who we are today, and highlight what we face in the years ahead. In Atlas of the Invisible: Maps and Graphics That Will Change How You See the World (W. W. Norton, 2021), Cheshire and Uberti explore happiness levels around the globe, trace the undersea cables and cell towers that connect us, examine hidden scars of geopolitics, and illustrate how a warming planet affects everything from hurricanes to the hajj. Years in the making, Atlas of the Invisible invites readers to marvel at the promise and peril of data, and to revel in the secrets and contours of a newly visible world. Winner of the 2021 British Cartographic Society Awards including the Stanfords Award for Printed Mapping and the John C. Bartholomew Award for Thematic Mapping.

Inizialmente vista come esperienza negativa, associata alla durezza delle temperature invernali, nel corso degli anni la neve è diventata un'esperienza affascinante - spiega Franco Brevini, autore del saggio "Il libro della neve. Avventure, storie, immaginario" (Il Mulino, 464 p., € 45,00). La neve ha accompagnato le varie vicende umane ed è diventata oggetto delle proiezioni di tutte le società che si sono succedute nel corso dei secoli. Non è cambiato il paesaggio, è cambiato lo sguardo con il quale ci accostiamo ai paesaggi - conclude Brevini. RECENSIONI "Verso il bianco.

With the release of STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI on home media, we decided to talk about the film one more time. The Last Jedi is turning out to be the most divisive film in the Star Wars Saga since THE PHANTOM MENACE. As the discussions won't go away, we decided to give the film one more crack and talk about our thoughts and the events that have happened since Christmas. Joining Simon and Keith is writer Antonia McGuire, filmmakers James Cheshire and Dan Tomeu. Movie Heaven Movie Hell is a show where filmmakers Simon Aitken (BLOOD + ROSES, POST-ITS, MODERN LOVE) and Keith Eyles (FEAR VIEW, DRIVEN INSANE, CROSSED LINES) go through the A-Z of directors. Simon and Keith talk about their favourite and least favourite film from that director's body of work.

For thousands of years, tracking animals meant following footprints. Now satellites, drones, camera traps, cellphone networks, and accelerometers reveal the natural world as never before. Where the Animals Go offers a comprehensive, data-driven portrait of how creatures like ants, otters, owls, turtles, and sharks navigate the world. Based on pioneering research by scientists at the forefront of the animal-tracking revolution, James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti's charts and maps tell fascinating stories of animal behavior, explaining how warblers detect incoming storms using sonic vibrations, how baboons make decisions, and why storks prefer garbage dumps to wild forage; they follow pythons racing through the Everglades, a lovelorn wolf traversing the Alps, and humpback whales visiting undersea mountains.
We talk to Oliver Uberti and James Cheshire, authors of the new book Where the Animals Go: Tracking Wildlife with Technology in 50 Maps and Graphics.
