Quando guardate una protesi, una gamba, una mano, avete davanti un rimedio, uno spiraglio che permette di poter risolvere una disabilità fisica. Ogni protesi racconta una storia, la storia di una persona e di un dramma, di una difficoltà ma anche una storia di rinascita. Inoltre, è incredibile pensare come le più grandi innovazioni nel campo delle protesi siano scaturite da persone che avevano perso un arto.In questo episodio speciale, Luca e Valeria vi portano in un viaggio nel tempo. Partendo dalla guerra civile americana, ripercorreremo insieme la storia delle protesi, di come siano diventati, da costrutti semplici e cigolanti per amputati di guerra, a strumenti dalla tecnologia avanzatissima, in grado di poter addirittura permetterci di superare le capacità umane.Per approfondire:Mayhew, E.

"Living Hot: Thriving and Surviving on Heating Planet", co-authored by Clive Hamilton and George Wilkenfeld, tells the blunt truth about our current climate change predicament: it's time to get cracking on making Australia resilient to intensifying climate extremes. If we prepare well, we can give ourselves a fighting chance to preserve some of the best of what we have, build stronger and fairer communities, find a path through the escalating pressures of a warming world – and even find new ways to flourish. To get there, we must leave behind both the doomism and the wishful thinking currently holding us back. In Living Hot, highly respected academic Clive Hamilton and policy consultant George Wilkenfeld shift th emphasis away from reducing carbon emissions and to making Australia is resilient, outlining a vision for an all-embracing and ongoing investment and social change program to protect ourselves from the ravages of a changing climate. Living Hot is a sober assessment of the challenges we face and a farsighted road map for what we must do next to survive and even thrive on our heating planet. The above words have been taken, largely, from a review of Hamilton's and Wilkenfeld's thought-provoking book.
Simon Kerr (pictured) is the musical driving force of "Music for a Warming World" and has had a long history in the challenges of climate change. The Melbourne-based musician/academic was reading the most recent book, "Living Hot: Surviving and Thriving on a Heating Planet", co-authored by Australian public intellectual Clive Hamilton and energy consultant, George Wilkenfeld. Simon was so impressed with what Halimton and Wilkenfeld had written that he contacted "Climate Conversations" saying: "We have to talk". Both Simon and his partner, Christine, use electric bikes to travel about the City of Melbourne. He was particularly excited to hear the "Climate Conversations" episode in which the CEO of the Melbourne-based Bicycle Network, Alison McCormack was interviewed: "Interview: 'Australia's E-Bike moment' with Bicycle Network's CEO, Alison McCormack". Hamilton has been the Professor of Public Ethics at Charles Sturt University in Canberra since 2008. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/robert-mclean/message
