  A plan formed in my mind. I would explore the places in this land that hid my grail. I would spend a whole year or longer, if that's what it took, wading through marshes, hiding between mossy rocks, paddling down rivers, and swimming in sea lochs; recording my journey through the seasons as I searched for wild otters. 
   
   
   
  Mysterious, graceful, and ever-clever, otters have captivated our imaginations, despite the fact that few people have encountered one in the wild. In Otter Country, celebrated nature writer Miriam Darlington captures the fascination she's had for these playful animals since childhood, and chronicles her immersive journey into their watery world. 
   
   
   
  Over the course of a single year, Darlington takes listeners on a winding expedition in pursuit of these elusive creatures—from her home in Devon, England, and through the wilds of Scotland, Wales, the Lake District, and the countryside of Cornwall. As she's drawn deeper into wilder habitats, trekking through changing landscapes, seasons, and weather, Darlington meets biologists, conservationists, fishing and hunting enthusiasts, and poets—enriching her understanding, admiration, and awe of the wild otter. With each encounter, she reveals the scientific, environmental, and cultural importance of this creature and the places it calls home.

  The Shocking Truth about Big Pharma

  The story of Big Pharma begins with the evolution of medicine from small-scale, localized practices to a global, multibillion-dollar industry. The roots of modern pharmaceuticals can be traced back to ancient apothecaries, where remedies were crafted from natural ingredients like herbs and minerals. These early pharmacists laid the groundwork for scientific exploration, yet their operations were often informal, relying on traditional knowledge rather than rigorous testing. 
  The 19th century marked a pivotal turning point with the rise of industrialization and the advent of chemical synthesis. Pioneers in chemistry discovered how to isolate active compounds, such as aspirin from willow bark, transforming medicine from an art into a science. This period saw the birth of pharmaceutical companies that began producing standardized drugs on a large scale, laying the foundation for today’s industry. 
  As the field advanced, so did the pursuit of patents. Patents were initially intended to protect innovation and encourage research, but they also introduced the potential for monopolization. By securing exclusive rights to produce and sell certain medications, pharmaceutical companies gained unprecedented power over pricing and distribution. While patents incentivized progress, they also set the stage for conflicts between public health needs and corporate profits.

  A fascinating piece of historical scientific writing, written in 1913 by E. Walter Maunder (F.R.A.S.), the Superintendent of the Solar Dept. at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. The book is a snapshot in time showing the evolution of thinking on the solar system and cosmology. The author considers, in fine detail, the plausibility of life on other planets within our solar system, the requirements for such life, and the barriers that life faces. Whilst many of the beliefs and conventions stated within the book are now out of date, it is enlightening to hear how theories and opinions have changed in just over 100 years. This is perfect listening for anyone with an interest in scientific history and cosmology.
