  The Shock of Change that...

  As biologist Jeremy Griffith explains in THE Interview (which psychiatrist Professor Harry Prosen described as “the most important interview of all time”), while we humans lacked the explanation for our 2-million-year corrupted human condition we had no choice but to deny that our distant ape ancestors lived in a state of cooperative and loving innocence. But with the good reason for our corrupted condition now finally found, our species' original state of innocence can at last be admitted - and, as Griffith makes clear in his essay The Great Guilt, what that honesty finally allows us to see is the immense guilt and shame we humans have been carrying for corrupting our original instinctive self or soul. 
  Finding the redeeming understanding of our corrupted condition also means we no longer need to employ the artificial reinforcements we have been depending on to sustain our sense of self-worth of attacking, defying, and denying the implication that we are guilty, bad people. What this essay, The Shock Of Change that understanding the human condition brings, addresses is how to manage the great shock of change that inevitably occurs in this fabulous transformation from having to depend on our now obsoleted, artificial, angry, egocentric and alienating forms of reinforcement, to living free of them.

  Insects - A Very Short Introduction

  To date, more than a million insect species have been described, with probably at least another 5-8 million species waiting in the wings for a name. Insects are a fascinatingly diverse and beautiful spectrum of animals. They range in size from the tiny parasitic wasp, measuring a mere 139µm, to the aptly named Titan beetle, which can reach lengths of up to 17cm. They can be found on all continents of the world, from the Sahara Desert to the frozen wastes of Antarctica. While no insects live beneath the waves, the intrepid sea skaters skim the surface of some of the world's oceans. 
   
   
   
  This Very Short Introduction explores the extraordinary world of insects. It analyses insect evolution, taxonomy, and development, and describes their behavior, their life styles, and the interactions they have with other insects and other animals. As Simon Leather shows, insects are the bedrock on which human civilization rests; without them we would almost certainly not exist. Although they can be seen as pests of our crops plants, they are also invaluable for pollinating our flowering plants and are an invaluable link in all land ecosystems. As they face challenges from climate change and pesticides it has never been more important to understand these oft-dismissed creatures.

  The City - (from Civilization in...

  Lewis Mumford

  What can a city reveal about the civilization that built it? 
   
  In The City, influential urban thinker Lewis Mumford examines the growth of American cities and the social values embedded in their streets, buildings, industries, and neighborhoods. 
   
  Mumford argues that every period of American history leaves its physical mark on the urban landscape. Older provincial communities reflect one form of social life, while the rapidly expanding commercial and industrial city reveals another—driven increasingly by speculation, machinery, finance, and relentless growth. 
   
  Among his sharpest criticisms is the American gridiron street plan. Designed largely for convenient subdivision and real-estate development, the rigid grid sacrifices geography, beauty, community, and human needs to economic efficiency. 
   
  Yet Mumford’s concern reaches far beyond architecture. He sees the modern metropolis becoming a new kind of wilderness: crowded yet isolating, mechanically efficient yet socially fragmented. For cities to become truly civilized, he argues, planning must serve human life rather than commerce alone. 
   
  Originally published in the influential 1922 anthology Civilization in the United States, The City offers an early and remarkably prescient critique of urban sprawl, speculative development, industrial growth, and the challenge of building cities for people. 
   
  Narrated by Brett Carter.
