Der Zufall regiert unsere Welt. Mit welchen Zahlen man morgen im Lotto gewinnt oder wo es in zwei Jahren regnen wird, ist reine Glückssache. Trotzdem gehen wir davon aus, dass sich die Welt an berechenbare Naturgesetze hält wie eine Uhr, in der ein Zahnrad das nächste bewegt. Wenn man sich auf die Suche nach den wissenschaftlichen Wurzeln des Zufalls begibt, stößt man auf Schmetterlinge, die mit einem Flügelschlag den Lauf der Welt verändern, auf winzige Teilchen, die ihre Eigenschaften ganz zufällig festlegen, und auf genetische Mutationen, die das Leben in neue Bahnen lenken.

On the shores of Lake Tanganyika, Gombe is a community where the principal residents are chimpanzees. Through Jane Goodall's eyes we watch young Figan's rise to power and old Mike's crushing defeat. We learn how one mother rears her children to succeed, and another dooms hers to failure. We witness horrifying murders, touching moments of affection, joyous births, and wrenching deaths. As Goodall compellingly tells the story of this intimately intertwined community, we are shown human emotions stripped to their essence. In the mirror of chimpanzee life, we see ourselves reflected.

Nel "Manuale dell'uomo sociale" troverete le instantanee di inizio secolo. Un'epoca sospesa e vagamente ottimista, appena prima alla crisi finanziaria del 2008 e alla lunga crisi economica che avrebbe segnato gli anni Dieci. Riconoscerete l'Italia ormai abituata a internet, ma sempre ossessionata dai cellulari e dai primi smartphone. Sentirete l'aria economica che cambia: stretti tra stipendi balcanici e prezzi scandinavi, molti connazionali stentavano (per fortuna c'erano le case dei genitori, gli aperitivi abbondanti, gli outlet e i voli low-cost).

Un podcast di Antonio Pascale | Una produzione realizzata con il supporto non condizionante di Federchimica Agrofarma e Federchimica Assofertilizzanti | GARGANTUA - Storia del cibo dalla fame all’abbondanza. In genere, quando raccontiamo la storia del mondo, usiamo alcuni strumenti, quelli della sociologia, quelli storici, antropologici, ma quasi mai usiamo strumenti agronomici. Ed è un peccato, perché la storia del mondo si muove seguendo la storia dell'agricoltura. Potremmo ripercorrere la storia del mondo raccontando la storia della prima pianta che abbiamo addomesticato cioè il grano....

Internet delle cose, intelligenza artificiale, robotica, realtà virtuale: è il nostro mondo sempre più digitale e interconnesso. Riflettendo sulle rivoluzioni industriali del passato, a partire da quella inglese del XVIII secolo, l'audiolibro mostra come in gioco vi siano profondi rivolgimenti sociali e territoriali, non solo la tecnologia.

Cruciali il ruolo dell'informazione e della politica.

Japan is at a crossroads. The postwar economic miracle that brought it unprecedented development and prosperity is over. Since the publication of the first Culture Smart! guide, it has been overtaken by China as the world's second-largest economy.

No one can predict how Japan will rise to the challenge, or what effect the changes will have on how people live, think, and behave.
