With recollections from childhood to the present, written and recorded for BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, Shirley Williams describes her life as one of Britain’s foremost political women this century. She describes her early life with her pioneering pacifist mother, Vera Brittain; her father, George Caitlin and her mother’s friend, the writer Winifred Holtby. From experiences as an evacuee in the United States and as an undergraduate in a fervent post-war Oxford full of exciting and ambitious contemporaries, she talks about the idealism that led her to decide, as a young woman of twenty, to devote her life to politics. From fighting elections to climbing the ministerial ladder as a woman, she recalls the Sixties when she rose to become one of the most prominent members of Harold Wilson’s government, the Seventies when she served in the Cabinet and the turbulent Eighties when she was one of the Gang of Four, the founders of the SDP.

Nature writer Richard Mabey reflects on his lifelong relationship with science and the natural world in this collection of episodes originally broadcast on Radio 4 in September 2009 and repeated as part of The Essay series on Radio 3 in April 2010.
In Episode 1, ‘The Greenhouse and the Field’, Richard talks about his very first laboratory – his father’s greenhouse, a magician’s chamber, where as a nine-year-old he would conduct his own experiments with chemicals bought with his pocket money.
In Episode 2, ‘The Lens and the Lichen’, he explores how a lens can enhance and at times distort our view of nature. He discusses how the late 18th-century Claude glass influenced the Picturesque movement in art and the excitement of looking at lichens through a microscope.
In the third episode, ‘The Stinkhorn and the Perfumier’, he ponders why we are all so good at remembering scents, despite their having little relevance for our survival.
In Episode 4, ‘The Songbird and the Sol-Fa’, he presents his own thoughts on why birds sing and recounts how writers through the ages have had wildly different interpretations on the meaning of birdsong.
Episode 5, ‘The Map and the Word’, concludes with him considering how maps are not just a tool for getting from A to B; for him, they are a kind of ‘cryptogram’.
