Description
Book Synopsis‘Melvyn not only makes you think … he makes it enjoyable too. He’s brilliant.’ –
John Humphrys, the Today Programme. ‘In a troubled world where many sneer at experts,
In Our Time is always a treat. Those who know what they're talking about, talk about it, and they do it under the benevolent if occasionally testy guidance of one who knows how to bring out the best in them. Listen, read, mark, and inwardly digest; agreeable glass of accompanying refreshment optional.’
-
Sir Diarmaid MacCulloch 'This beautifully produced and expertly edited book is a wonderfully rich and varied sample of
50 In Our Time programmes, from ancient Greek philosophy to dark matter via the gin craze. It will whet your appetite to visit or revisit the many hundreds of other programmes in this remarkable series.' -
Professor Angela Hobbs
