  • Biology Has Been Taught at Bristol – As Botany and Zoology – Since Before the University Was Founded in 1909
    Biology has been taught at Bristol – as Botany and Zoology – since before the University was founded in 1909. Bristol has made significant contributions to many fields, from animal cognition and medicinal plants to entomology, evolutionary Game Theory and bird flight – and the BBC Natural History Unit's proximity to the University has led to television careers for a number of graduates! In 1876, University College, the precursor to the University, appointed Dr. Frederick Adolph Leipner as Lecturer in Botany, Zoology and, amusingly, German. Leipner had trained at the Bristol Medical School, but taught botany and natural philosophy, later combining this with teaching in Vegetable Physiology at the Medical School. He became Professor of Botany in 1884 and was a founding member of the Bristol Naturalists' Society, becoming its President in 1893. Bristol today is proud of its interdisciplinary strengths and, among others, offers Joint Honours Degrees in Geology and Biology, and in Psychology and Zoology. A portent of these modern links is seen in one of the University's most notable early appointments, Conwy Lloyd Morgan, appointed as Professor of Zoology and Geology in 1884 and then – somehow fitting in service as Vice- Chancellor – becoming the first Chair in Psychology (and Ethics). Lloyd Morgan is most famous as a pioneer of the study of comparative animal cognition. He was a highly influential figure for the North American Behaviourist movement: “Lloyd Morgan's cannon” is a comparative psychologist's version of Occam's Razor whereby no behaviour should be ascribed to more complex cognitive mechanisms than strictly necessary. He was the first Fellow of the Royal Society to be elected for psychological work.

  • Britbox Stars Talk About What Tv Moved, Amused and Inspired Them
    BRITBOX STARS TALK ABOUT WHAT TV MOVED, AMUSED AND INSPIRED THEM JAMES NESBITT The Cold Feet actor’s top picks on BritBox: ● Cracker ● Prime Suspect ● Boys From The Blackstuff ● Black Adder ● Fawlty Towers ● The Good Life ● The Two Ronnies ● The Young Ones “The notion of being part of a new platform that really does try and bring different genres together but all underscored by a certain quality is very exciting.” Is there anything you watched growing up that you have great memories of? I first really recall, in terms of drama, Boys From The Blackstuff. I thought it was just extraordinary. And The Monocled Mutineer. A lot of those programmes really gripped me. I also grew up watching a lot of comedy with my mum actually. Fawlty Towers was must see. I was quite young for that but I immediately understood the absurdity, the pain of it, the farce. The Two Ronnies I used to love. My mum actually looked a bit like Ronnie Corbett which was a bit odd! I also grew up watching sport and still love Match of The Day. To grow up on all those dramas and now to be part of it has been one of the great journeys to be honest. Can you tell us why you were interested in getting involved in the launch of BritBox? Television has been very, very good to me. I’ve been working for a long time now. I’m one of those people who people think is the youngest on set but I’m by far the oldest! I’ve been working since I left drama school in 1988.

  • Chapter 1 Paleontology As a Science
    Chapter 1 Paleontology as a science Key points • The key value of paleontology has been to show us the history of life through deep time – without fossils this would be largely hidden from us. • Paleontology has strong relevance today in understanding our origins, other distant worlds, climate and biodiversity change, the shape and tempo of evolution, and dating rocks. • Paleontology is a part of the natural sciences, and a key aim is to reconstruct ancient life. • Reconstructions of ancient life have been rejected as pure speculation by some, but careful consideration shows that they too are testable hypotheses and can be as scientifi c as any other attempt to understand the world. • Science consists of testing hypotheses, not in general by limiting itself to absolute cer- tainties like mathematics. • Classical and medieval views about fossils were often magical and mystical. • Observations in the 16th and 17th centuries showed that fossils were the remains of ancient plants and animals. • By 1800, many scientists accepted the idea of extinction. • By 1830, most geologists accepted that the Earth was very old. • By 1840, the major divisions of deep time, the stratigraphic record, had been established by the use of fossils. • By 1840, it was seen that fossils showed direction in the history of life, and by 1860 this had been explained by evolution. • Research in paleontology has many facets, including fi nding new fossils and using quan- titative methods to answer questions about paleobiology, paleogeography, macroevolu- tion, the tree of life and COPYRIGHTEDdeep time. MATERIAL All science is either physics or stamp collecting.

  • Dan-Brockington-Celebrity-And-The
    More praise for Celebrity and the Environment ‘More exposé than a tabloid. More weight than a broadsheet ... Brockington lends academic muscle to what, I suspect, many of us instinctively feel about these issues. Extensively researched yet winsomely written and, thankfully, not veering into cynicism which a book on this subject could easily do. Enlightening and easily accessible by the armchair environmentalist.’ Terry Clark, St Luke’s Church, Glossop ‘I was surprised by this book. Anything containing the mere word “celebrity” will normally see me heading for the hills at speed, let alone a whole book on the subject! Dan’s book is written with wit and grace. His research was clearly meticulous and the result is a book that is informative and enjoyable.’ Robin Barker, Countrycare Children’s Homes ‘In an analysis that builds on a large literature examining interlinkages between conservation and corporate interest, Dan Brockington turns a new corner, investigating how the rich and famous lend their glamour to the noble goal of saving the planet. In reality conservation is a highly political pursuit with winners and losers. Brockington provides a well- balanced account of the pros of harnessing the razzamatazz of celebrity to the conservation cause with the cons of sanitizing the harsh realities of conservation politics and the insidious danger of commoditizing nature. If you want to embark on the journey in to contemporary conservation you would go well with this book.’ Monique Borgerhoff Mulder and Tim Caro, University of California at Davis ‘A thoroughly stimulating book that made me question my role as a conservation filmmaker.’ Jeremy Bristow, director and writer About the author Dan Brockington has a PhD in anthro- pology from UCL and is happiest conducting long-term research in remote rural areas.

  • BBC Trust Is the Governing Body of the BBC and It Is Our Responsibility to Get the Best out of the BBC for Licence Fee Payers
    Service review BBC Red Button November 2010 Getting the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers BBC Red Button service review Contents Contents 1 Introduction 1 Background 1 Scope & methodology 1 Summary of findings 4 Key findings and actions 4 Main Report 11 Current performance 11 BBC Red Button’s remit 11 BBC Red Button’s core strategic purposes and proposition 11 Service overview 12 Reach 15 Quality 25 Impact 31 Value for money 37 BBC Red Button’s future 45 BBC Red Button service review Introduction Background 1. The BBC Trust is the governing body of the BBC and it is our responsibility to get the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers. As part of this commitment, we carry out an in- depth review of each of the BBC’s services at least once every five years. In this report we review the BBC Red Button service. 2. BBC Red Button (known as BBCi until 2008) is the BBC’s interactive television service. It provides viewers with a range of video, audio, pictures, text and applications accessible through their digital televisions and it replaces Ceefax (the BBC’s analogue teletext service) as digital switchover takes place. 3. The Trust sets out what it expects from each of the BBC’s services in a published service licence. Our review had three main aims: first, to assess how well BBC Red Button is performing against the commitments set out in its service licence; second, to consider the service’s future direction; and, third, to determine whether amendments to the existing service licence are necessary.
