Summary Program #461: Title: The future in plain sight "The evidence that indicts the future is currently available. Climate change, migration, population growth and an imperfectly globalized economy are among the clues that point to an unstable future. Perhaps the indictment is best directed not at an impersonal future but at the failure of today's societies to recognize the clues that point to future problems. Author Eugene Linden points out both clues and prospects and proposes solutions."--Track sheet.
Program #462: Title: A science odyssey "As the 20th century ends, the debate begins about its meaning and place in the span of recorded time. It has been an era extraordinary cruelty and history's most horrific wars. Yet it has also been a period marked by unparalleled scientific advance. Author Charles Flowers describers not only the many advances that occurred in fields that range from astronomy to medicine but also the enormous social change that accompanied them."--Track sheet.
