This week, we reach into the City Arts & Lectures archives for a conversation with E. O. Wilson.   The biologist and author was the world's leading authority on ants – but he was also often referred to as “the father of biodiversity”.  In addition to significant scientific research, Wilson made major contributions to the public's understanding of larger issues of science, nature, and conservation.  He won the Pulitzer Price twice, for his books “The Ants” and “On Human Nature”.  His other popular works include “Letters to a Young Scientist” and “The Meaning of Human Existence”. Wilson was a professor at Harvard University and also taught at Duke University, which houses the E. O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation.  E. O. Wilson died on December 26, 2021, at the age of 92.  In this program, recorded on October 10, 2006, he talks with Roy Eisenhardt about his newly published book “The Creation: A Meeting of Science and Religion”.   In it, Wilson appeals for the combined efforts of scientific, political, and religious leaders to help prevent species extinction, save biological diversity, and be good stewards of the Earth.

Today, Debbie talks to good friend and bestselling author Thomas E. Ricks about writing.  This episode will appeal to listeners even if you're not a word nerd or have writing a book at the top of your bucket list.Tom is a military history columnist for the New York Times and author of seven books, the last five of which have been New York Times bestsellers. His best known book is "Fiasco: the American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2003 - 2005," which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2007.  His most recent book, published in November 2020, is "First Principles: What America's Founders Learned From the Greeks and Romans, and How That Shaped Our Country."He was a war correspondent and a member of Pulitzer Prize-winning teams covering the military for both the Wall Street Journal (2000) and the Washington Post (2002).  As Debbie puts it, he's the "real deal" when it comes to writing serious books. Tom is currently working on his eighth book, a military appreciation of the Civil Rights Movement. Tom and his wife Mary Kay, also an author, are Debbie's good friends and neighbors in Maine.Today, they talk about what drives Tom to write: is it for money, for recognition, to win another Pulitzer prize, to connect with his readers, the writing itself? His answer is a good one.  They address the big questions: how long does it take him to write a book, how does he choose his topics, what is his  advice for would-be book writers, and more.  Debbie and Tom also get into the nitty gritty of his writing process. He takes us through a day in the life of Tom Ricks which includes bringing tea to Mary Kay in the morning and making lunch most days for the two of them. Despite how prolific he is, Tom does not write for 8 hours a day. He is witty and passionate on the topic of writing, as well as being honest and revealing, and this is a wonderful conversation. Mentioned in this episode or useful:Thomas E.

Ida B. Wells was an journalist and campaigner. She's just been honoured with a special Pulitzer Price for her courageous reporting of the violence inflicted on African Americans during the lynching era. Professor Paula J. Giddings, who's written a biography of her, tells us about Ida and all that she achieved. We're talking about dementia during lockdown and how challenging it can be for carers. Research carried out by the University of Exeter shows that many people living with dementia, as well as their carers, already felt isolated and lonely before COVID-19 but now these feelings have intensified.

They've worked with people who have dementia and have come up with practical tips. Due to COVID-19 midwives all around the world are facing new challenges.

Biologist and Pulitzer Price nominated author David George Haskell has a passion for the world around us and how our amazing trees are interconnected to absolutely everything. Can we actually "listen" to a tree? How do trees interact with us in all aspects of our lives and how do we interact with them on levels we are not even aware of? We talked to David about his work, books and future projects in this conversation. You will be pleasantly surprised how much you didn't realize about trees and hopefully, look at them in a whole new way. David George Haskell is a British-born American biologist, author, and professor of biology at Sewanee: The University of the South, in Sewanee, Tennessee. In addition to scientific papers, he has written essays, poems, op-eds, and the book "The Forest Unseen" and "The Songs of Trees".

"He was nefarious. He was horrible." That's how Dave Marcus describes his cousin Roy Cohn, who was a mentor to Donald Trump up until his death. Cohn taught Trump and Giuliani how to be criminals, showing them plays from his own playbook, which he used to aid members of the mafia, among others, as a "fixer." Cohn taught Trump and Giuliani the tactic they employ most frequently today: deny, attack, obfuscate. Marcus gives a unique insight on what his family considered their most "phony" member and how his most corrupt methods are on display in Trump's White House.Dave Marcus is the recipient of a Pulitzer Price for International Reporting, and penned at op-ed for Politico which you can read here: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/09/24/roy-cohn-trump-cousin-228167 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

12. Januar 2007: Eine versteckte Kamera zeigt einen Straßenmusiker in der Eingangshalle einer U-Bahn-Station in Washington DC. Er spielt Geige. Eine Dreiviertelstunde lang. Bach, Schubert und anderes. Über Tausend Pendler laufen an ihm vorüber. Die meisten gehetzt. Nur 7 Leute bleiben stehen. Ein Kind etwas länger. Die Vorübergehenden werfen insgesamt $ 32,17 in den Geigenkasten. – Nur ein einziger Passant erkennt den Musiker. Es ist Joshua Bell. Einer der größten Geiger der Welt. Er spielt auf einer Stradivari für 3,5 Mio. Dollar. Und sonst nur in den großen Konzertsälen der Welt. Wie viele hätten wer weiß was gegeben, ihn so hören zu können? Wie viele hätten ihre Arbeit sausen lassen, wären ohne Reue zu wichtigen Terminen zu spät gekommen oder hätten das Gespräch mit ihm gesucht? Doch für die, die ihn dort hörten und sahen, war das Weltklassespiel nur Geräusch, bestenfalls Begleitmusik für die Sekunden, die es braucht, um durch eine Bahnhofshalle zu laufen. „Viele Propheten und Könige wollten sehen, was Ihr seht, und haben es nicht gesehen, und wollten hören, was Ihr hört, und haben es nicht gehört“, sagt Jesus den Jüngern (Lk 10,24). Damit stellt er uns eine entscheidende Gewissensfrage bis heute: Wisst Ihr, wen Ihr hört, wenn Ihr mich hört? Wisst Ihr, wen Ihr seht, wenn Ihr mich seht? Und was ist es Euch wert, mich zu sehen und zu hören? Oder ist mein Anblick nur noch Kultur? Ist mein Wort nicht mehr als Moral oder Erbauung oder ein kaum noch zu vernehmendes kirchliches Grundrauschen? Und kann es sein, dass Eure einzige Sorge die ist, den Zug nicht zu verpassen? Fra' Georg Lengerke [Die Aufnahme in der U-Bahn-Station findet sich auf Youtube. Der Artikel über das sogenannte „Washington Post Experiment“ gewann den Pulitzer Price und kann bei der Washington Post gelesen werden.]

Does Noel Pearson's argument that ‘the Voice' is based on indigeneity and not race stand up? (01:30-17:00) What are the options for conservatives seeking to combat internet mobs and academic packs bent on defaming (or downright destroying) an individual, as happened recently to Nigel Biggar and Roger Scruton? (17:00-35:00)  And does the Melbourne Institute's latest HILDA survey really show a rise in inequality? (90:35-0:45) Dr Chris Berg and Scott Hargreaves are joined by Dr Bella D'Abrera and Andrew Bushnell to discuss these questions and share their culture picks, including a book on the unresolved legacy of the Vietnam War by Pulitzer Price-winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen (0:45-0:49), the final cut of the classic 1979 film ‘Apocalypse Now'(0:49-0:54), a Latin American soap opera on the Liberator, Simón Bolívar (0:54-:59) and Geoffrey Blainey's autobiography, ‘Before I Forget' (0:59-01:03:22).
