| Summary |
Program #695 : Title: Our own devices "The human capacity to invent things is well established. The human need to adapt inventions for unintended consequences is less recognized, but just as ubiquitous. Author Edward Tenner has gained a reputation as "the philosopher of everyday things." In this conversation based on his latest book, he explains how imagination, culture, and necessity have changed the look and usage of items like chairs, helmets and footwear throughout human history."--Track sheet. |

Program #696 : Title: Russia in search of itself "The prospects for world peace in the twenty-first century depend in large measure on the way Russians decide to define themselves in the next few years. Drawing on his vast knowledge of Russian history, his frequent visits to Russia in the past decade, and his longstanding relationships with Russians from many different regions and segments of society, the Librarian of Congress, James H. Billington, provides an authoritative exploration of one of the world's most pressing issues."--Track sheet. |
