For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

He also contends that she was right to carry on fighting until November 1918 and that the costs, although appalling, were not manifestly disproportionate.

Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe argues that the significant investments in IT already made by the Police have not brought the benefits it deserves and that by having a more consistent and central strategy, the people of this country would get a far better service. He also believes that investing in appropriate technology will enhance the effect of those officers concentrating on repeat victims, repeat offenders and repeat locations. His ambition is to make the Met the best Police Force in the country, by having a total approach to policing – 50,000 people acting as a team will always do more than 50,000 individuals. He believes in concentrating that process on a total war on crime, helping victims and being professional.…

We therefore have to find a different way of delivering health if we are not to end up with rationing on a large scale". In 1998 Ann Widdecombe delivered a much acclaimed speech to the Conservative Party Conference, urging just such an approach, but now in 2012 we are still using the 1948 model. Ann will argue it is time for political courage and a re-assessment of our mechanisms, particularly our financial approach to health, and that those who can should be encouraged to take greater responsibility for their own health…

Running through much of Professor Andrew Higson’s work is a concern for questions of national cinema; his article ‘The concept of national cinema’, first published in Screen in 1989, has proved very influential and has been translated and/or reprinted several times. He has published various papers since 1989, which revise his arguments about national and transnational cinema as well as papers on the British heritage film, on the British new wave, on silent cinema, on Channel 4 television and on film acting. He is currently working on three separate projects. He is editing the Routledge Encyclopedia of Film History, with Kristian Moen, Nathalie Morris and Jonathan Stubbs. He is working on a history of Anglia Television, the ITV company for the East of England. He is completing a book on British cinema in the 1990s and 2000s, provisionally entitled Film England, 1990-2008: (Trans)National Cinema, English Literature and Narratives of the Past and Present some of which forms the basis for the Nick Burton Memorial Lecture 2011.…

John will look, in layman’s terms, at how modern nuclear reactors work, the prospects for a new generation of nuclear power stations, in Britain and worldwide, and how, if they are built, to make them as safe and secure as possible. Where are the catches in this ‘clean’ power generation, and how can the potential link of parts of the nuclear fuel cycle to the production of nuclear weapons be internationally policed and controlled. Why has the spread of nuclear power generation not led to the wider spread of nuclear weapons predicted in the 1960s? To a remarkable degree, so called ‘non proliferation’ has worked to date, but will the Non Proliferation Treaty be fit for purpose in the 21st Century, and what are the key indicators to look for to judge its success or failure?…

The Review will look at how we measure poverty in Britain today - whether low income alone constitutes poverty, and if not what are the other aspects of poverty, and how they are measured - what the key determinants of good life chances are - taking account of the importance of a child's development before attending school and how good influences at this stage of a child's life can best be embedded in society.…

Mention any of the big issues facing us in the 21st century - abortion, euthanasia, embryo research, designer babies, saviour siblings, genetically modified animals, human guinea pigs, animal research, nuclear power, pregnant men, assisted suicide or climate change - and you will inevitably start a debate.

This lecture looks at why decisions are taken about sending particular works of art abroad, and what they say about us, and about those who receive them.

Acting with the best of intentions, professionals sometimes do more harm than good when they intervene in the lives of other people. Decisions to use or withhold interventions in health care, social care and education should take account of findings in systematic reviews of relevant and reliable research evidence.

The suppression of Thomas Becket's cult in 1538 was more than a matter of demolishing his shrine. This lecture will explore how it was entangled with King Henry VIII's bitter battle with another defiant English prince of the Church, and how it made itself felt in every monastery and parish church in the land.…
