Nature surrounds us. But what is it — and why is it always changing? Two experts join us, chaired by Daniel Glaser. In Metamorphosis, science writer Oren Harman tackles one of biology’s greatest wonders and toughest riddles. From butterflies to human adolescents, why all this destruction and remodelling? Along the way, Aristotle concludes cucumbers have souls, and Freud searches in vain for eel testicles. Around the World in 80 Trees and Around the World in 80 Plants author Jonathan Drori returns with The Stuff That Stuff Is Made Of, exploring 30 species, how they grow, why they matter, the objects we make from them, and links to his wider work.
