Documentary: BBC: The Battlefield. Wolves was filmed on 400 square kilometers of the Rocky Mountains, on which the possession of North American wolves is located.
It is in this territory, due to its remoteness from cities and villages, roads and factories, that wolves feel themselves the real masters of all mountains (it is because of this that the number of wolves reach an impressive size here). And that is why to study the behavior and life of wolves in the wild, scientists chose local packs, watching the daily skirmishes of one pack with others, their hunting and fight with bears – the most dangerous opponents of wolves. close

Stretching from the Stone Age to the year 2000, Simon Schama's Complete History of Britain does not pretend to be a definitive chronicle of the turbulent events which buffeted and shaped the British Isles. What Schama does do, however, is tell the story in vivid and gripping narrative terms, free of the fustiness of traditional academe, personalising key historical events by examining the major characters at the centre of them. Not all historians would approve of the history depicted here as shaped principally by the actions of great men and women rather than by more abstract developments, but Schama's way of telling it is a good deal more enthralling as a result.
Schama successfully gives lie to the idea that the history of Britain has been moderate and temperate, passing down the generations as stately as a galleon, taking on board sensible ideas but steering clear of sillier, revolutionary ones. Nonsense. Schama retells British history the way it was--as bloody, convulsive, precarious, hot-blooded and several times within an inch of haring off onto an entirely different course. Schama seems almost to delight in the goriness of history. Themes returned to repeatedly include the wars between the Scots and the Irish and the Catholic/Protestant conflicts--only the Irish question remains unresolved by the new millennium. As Britain becomes a constitutional monarchy, Schama talks less of Kings and Queens but of poets and idea-makers like Orwell. Still, with his pungent, direct manner and against an evocative visual and aural backdrop, Schama makes history seem as though it happened yesterday, the bloodstains not yet dry. close

Inside: LSD (Inside: LSD) deals with a complex and highly controversial topic – the use of the psychotropic substance LSD, once outlawed.
LSD does have a mixed reputation. Some consider it a means to help “expand consciousness”, a drug with healing properties. With its help, they offer to treat schizophrenia, alcoholism, migraines, epilepsy. Known confessions of world-famous people, scientists, musicians, testifying to the positive effect of taking LSD on their consciousness. Among them are Nobel laureates Francis Crick (1962), who claimed to have discovered the molecular structure of DNA under the influence of LSD, and Kerry Mullis (1993), who believes that the discovery for which he received the award - the visualization of the polymerase chain reaction - helped him to commit LSD; Apple founder Steve Jobs, Microsoft founder Bill Gates also did not ignore the drug. The Beatles were indirectly suspected of using LSD, with the title of the song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” capitalized as LSD. The musicians themselves denied any parallels.
On the other hand, barricades are many opponents of the use of this hallucinogen, which causes a number of undesirable effects. Among the most dangerous mental manifestations caused by taking LSD - loss of control over their actions, excitement, confused, panic consciousness, the possibility of developing paranoia. The consequences of taking LSD are also terrible – in addition to giving birth to children with various hereditary diseases and chromosomal disorders, a person who takes LSD can go crazy and commit suicide.
All these and many factors served at one time, in the 60s of the 20th century, the reason that LSD was banned and declared a drug.
But now, in our days, scientists are again returning to the question of the use of LSD, its far from revealed medical potential. What is LSD – a drug or a breakthrough in science? The authors of The Inside Look: LSD are trying to answer this and other equally important questions. close
