This innovative album introduces one of the biggest, and most complex, of today’s environmental problems – climate change. It features the hard-hitting, "Who Will Pay", selected as a finalist in an international film competition on "Vulnerability Exposed: The Social Dimensions of Climate Change" organised by the World Bank. This 'Earth in Crisis' album offer a sophisticated understanding of the processes and players that shape contemporary international environmental problems, evaluates what can and should be done in the future, and explores how responses to these dilemmas are intertwined with issues of development, international justice and responsibility. The eleven video tracks focus on climate change induced flooding in the delta regions of Bangladesh and in the Thames region of the UK. In the first five audio tracks, members of The Open University course team explore the main issues raised in the videos. The final three audio tracks explore some of the wider political and scientific dimensions of climate change. This material forms part of The Open University course DU311, Earth in crisis: environmental policy in an international context.

How can the World Trade Organisation (WTO) control international states
without one central world government? Is the WTO just a club for the extremely rich and powerful? The Open University’s Dr William Brown leads discussions around the themes of co-operation, interaction and interdependencies. Dr. Jef Huysmans and Dr. Simon Bromley delve into the political differences between the realist and liberal models used to control large non-governmental organisations.

Do you take your access to water for granted? The Peruvian and Tanzanian communities featured in this album certainly don’t. This album examines how development agencies can empower communities to help themselves by introducing simple technologies, and facilitate the sharing of ideas through education. In the Andean mountains, scarce supplies of water and agricultural challenges give rise to conflict; but the changes engineered by development agencies can start to show a way out of poverty. Meanwhile, Tanzanian rural schoolchildren are instrumental in bringing about positive long-term change within their communities. However, development in practice is very complex and sometimes controversial. The audio tracks delve into the dilemma of how to incorporate the value systems of impoverished communities and agencies, which can have differing agendas. They also show how development is linked to issues of identity, urbanisation, politics, economics, social relations and gender. To complete the album, Dr Helen Yanacopulos of The Open University's Development Policy and Practice unit explains the choice of some of the case studies provided, and unpicks some of the issues that emerge. This material is taken from The Open University course TU871 Development: context and practice.

We might think we know what ageing is, but it’s surprisingly difficult to pin down. In this album a 70-year-old fashion model and her 17-year-old grand-daughter take part in a series of scientific tests to see whether it is possible to distinguish between them. The results give an insight into what contemporary science can tell us about what happens at the molecular, genetic, cellular, physiological and psychological level during the ageing process. This material forms part of The Open University course SD805 Issues in brain and behaviour.

Mă cheamă Paleologu -Paleologos în grecește-, nu Neologu: mi-am luat numele în serios și rostul meu pe lumea asta e să vorbesc despre lucruri vechi, adică perene, fundamentale sau, cum spunea tatăl meu, “despre lucruri cu adevărat importante”, care nu se demodează mîine după ce au fost la modă astăzi.
Am ales să-i spunem acestei emisiuni “Metope”, pentru că mă gîndeam că doar 1% va ști ce înseamnă. Asta-i și ideea: să afle lumea lucruri mai puțin știute. Este, dacă vreți, echivalentul frescelor dintr-o biserică creștină: basoreliefuri care descriu cîte un episod mitologic. În fiecare săptămînă mă voi strădui astfel să vă prezint cîte o metopă, adică o poveste cu tîlc, o filă de istorie, o carte, un om, o idee. -

Physicien, c'est avant tout un théoricien qui a travaillé sur divers aspects de la physique de la matière molle, puis de la physique pour la biologie.

Questo è il corso base base base di educazione finanziaria. Se non sai nulla di finanza è il posto giusto per iniziare, lentamente affronteremo tutti gli argomenti.
Se stai cercando consigli di investimento rapidi è invece il posto sbagliato, qui ti "insegno" le cose, non ti "dico" le cose. E' "Educati e Finanziati", non "Diventa Ricco in Mezz'ora".
Avanziamo lenti come una tartaruga, ma costanti. Una puntata ogni domenica mattina. -
