Summary Program #483 : Title: Afro-British voices of the 18th century "18th Century English Literature was enriched by the contributions of Afro-British authors whose allegiance to the United Kingdom owed to the relative social tolerance of that society. Many of these authors had been held in bondage -- some in the American Colonies -- and one of their principle themes was the evil of slavery. They were prominent contributors to the Abolition Movement. However, their literary interests were quite broad and they left notable contributions in poetry, commentary essays and criticism. Vincent Carretta describes their work."--Track sheet.
Program #483 : Title: "Space, security and the 21st century When Sputnick was launched in 1957 it meant the extension of Cold War competition into space had been achieved. Spurred by perceived political challenge and the real fear of cosmic strategic threat the United States responded with an accelerated space campaign. In this way the issues of security and space exploration were limited from the start. Forty years later the pendulum has shifted. The Cold War is over, collaborative efforts in space are promoted and private investment in space exceeds that of government. All of this complicates the terms of a new 21st Century American policy for Space. John Logsdon describes the issues."--Track sheet.
