Living in a World of Ice
There were no people in Europe a million years ago. So when did they arrive? Why did they bother to come?
Peter France starts this five-part journey through time by looking at the very first Europeans, who were not really
'human' at all, and came into a world of ice totally unlike Europe today.

Magic Carpets
Cleopatra arrived before Caesar rolled up in one; sitting rooms of all tastes and styles have one; in literature you can fly on one: the oriental carpet has been part of the West's way of life for years. Waldemar Januszczak explores the meaning and the magic of oriental carpets, and how they emblemise relations between East and West.
