Personal views on science, medicine and technology.The Beastly Truth. The animal rights movement says eating meat is murder, pets are slaves and lab animals are prisoners. But science writer and part-time farmer
Stephen Budiansky challenges this view. Using new archaeological evidence and animal behaviour studies, he argues that domestication was not an act of human exploitation. It was a natural process - a brilliantly successful evolutionary strategy which has allowed humans and the animals which get along with them to flourish. Budiansky says: "Obviously we need to think about the way we use animals and use them humanely, but the idea that we should not use them at all is, I believe, based on ignorance."

Non-Euclidean GeometryAbout this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
