Fresh Air, Steve Erlanger and Marcelo Gleiser

De: Terry Gross

Narrado por: Terry Gross

Journalist Steve Erlanger and Brazilian physicist Marcelo Gleiser on this edition of Fresh Air. Steve Erlanger is the Berlin Bureau Chief for The New York Times. He'll talk about European reaction to the Bush administration - its planned invasion of Iraq, and its position on the Middle East, and its response to September 11th. And about how the European union is changing the lives of Europeans. Marcelo Gleiser is the author of the new book, The Prophet and the Astronomer: A Scientific Journey to the End of Time. In it he explores our relationship to the sky and how it has influenced religion and then in turn - science. He writes, "one of my goals...is to humanize science, to argue that our scientific ideas are very much a product of the cultural and emotional environment where they originate." Gleiser is Professor of Natural Philosophy and professor of physics and astronomy at Dartmouth College. (Broadcast Date: July 18, 2002)Want more Fresh Air?
