With Rana Mitter. William Dalrymple and Madeleine Bunting discuss their new books.

Presented by Rana Mitter. With William Dalrymple on the sacred in modern India, journalist Madeleine Bunting on the human need for connection to the land and David Hare's new play.

Celebrated travel writer William Dalrymple talks to Rana Mitter about his new book Nine Lives: In Search of the Sacred in Modern India, which follows his previous works on India such as White Mughals and City Djinns. Dalrymple discusses the nine stories he has woven into an Indian Canterbury Tales and the deep holiness that still pertains in a country feted for its burgeoning modernity.

Rana is joined by Susannah Clapp for a review David Hare's new play The Power of Yes, written as a 'rapid response' to the current global financial crisis.

Journalist Madeleine Bunting explains why the acre of land in Yorkshire her father bought after the Second World War that she inherited has brought her closer to an understanding of the human need to be connected to a place.

And Hanan Al-Shaykh discusses Arab women's fiction, exploring how a wave of female writers are breaking new stylistic ground and some old taboos as they struggle to find translation for the Western market.

Rana Mitter and William Dalrymple discuss the sacred in modern India, and journalist Madeleine Bunting talks about a plot of land in Yorkshire that taught her the wisdom of location. Producer James Cook

Dr Felicity Henderson discusses Hooke's influence at the Royal Society.

Dr Felicity Henderson sheds light on the ground-breaking experiments at the Royal Society of Robert Hooke, who was the academy's curator of experiments.

The Royal Society celebrates its 350th anniversay this year and in tonight's essay we hear how this week's Enlightenment figure, Robert Hooke was instrumental in its early success. Dr. Felicity Henderson, manager of the RS History of Science events looks through the archives to examine the exploits of the founder members and the Curator of Experiments, Robert Hooke. Their goal was straightforward: they wanted to collect as much information as possible about absolutely everthing (except 'God and the soul', which they decided to avoid from the outset). The Royal Society's motto, 'Nullius in Verba' loosely translates as 'take no-one's word for it'. Felicity sheds light on some of Hooke and his early fellows groundbreaking experiments in their quest to know everything.
