Introduced by Robert Stenuit
In a violent storm on the night of 19 November 1724, the Dutch Merchant Ship Slot ter Hooge was driven full speed into the terrifying cliffs of Porto Santo Island in the Madeiras. Two hundred and twenty men died and her cargo of oil, wine, brandy, foodstuffs - and three and a half tons of bullion - was lost. In less than a year of the disaster an English diver, John Lethbridge, had performed amazing feats of salvage on the wreck to the pleasure and profit of his employers, the mighty Dutch East India Company. In all he recovered over three tons of the silver ingots and coins which the ship was carrying on route for Batavia in the Dutch East Indies.
Two hundred and fifty years later, the Belgian diver and marine archaeologist, Robert Stenuit, dived on that same wreck after a detective hunt through the archives of Europe. His patience was rewarded with a complete chest full of silver bars which his distant predecessor had missed or was unable to recover. But Stenuit was now preoccupied with one question - how had Lethbridge, so long ago, performed his operations? Using a newly discovered contemporary plan of the 'Diving Engine', Stenuit has reconstructed Lethbridge's hair-raising experiments.
The result is both an intriguing historical detective story and a new development in experimental archaeology - conducted for the first time underwater!

by Jonathan Miller
Why do physicians connect breathlessness with heart disease? How do the cells of the body use oxygen? Why does a thin atmosphere at high altitude endanger consciousness?
Our understanding of the body would make no real progress until the connection between the heart, the lungs and the blood had been appreciated. The Ancient Greeks thought of the heart as a furnace, we know the heart is a pump.
Repeating some of the classic 17th century experiments, Jonathan Miller reveals that breathing is like burning, but that fire is not in the heart.
