《吞噬地球》（Devour the Earth）是由英国素食协会和欧洲素食联盟所拍摄的纪录短片，并由享誉全球的素食人士，也是披头四合唱团（Beatles）成员的保罗·麦卡尼爵士（Sir Paul McCartney）担任旁白，影片尤具特色的开场白，则是出自斯洛维尼亚已卸任的第二任总统雅奈兹·德尔诺夫舍克博士之笔。
《吞噬地球》清楚说明了人类活动对环境所带来的后果，以及肉食对我们美丽珍贵的星球所造成的影响。目前由联合国及跨政府气候变迁小组（IPCC）所确认的科学证据，明确指出一个令人不寒而栗的事实：肉食是造成全球暖化的元凶，而且也对地球造成无数的负面影响。这部影片昭告世人，地球的生态平衡维持了四十亿年，却在过去工业革命兴起以来的两百年间遭到严重的破坏。片中所罗列的残酷事实，显示肉品工业正为地球带来许多灾难，在焚烧森林与牲畜排泄物两相结合之下，更促使大量二氧化碳排放至我们珍贵的大气层中。

在这部纪录片里，Stephen Fry会带领我们探索如何学习语言，如何写字，为什么有时会觉得难以表达……1）Babel 在第一集中，Stephen向我们揭示了人类语言的起源以及为什么我们是唯一拥有语言能力的物种，通过教猩猩说话、将人类语言基因植入白鼠等实验说明人脑与语言间的独特联系； 2）Identity 我们所讲的语言表明了我们的特征，甚至体现出阶级差异。同时Stephen还探索了英语全球化势不可挡的原因；3）Uses and Abuses 在语言的使用过程中，往往混杂着咒骂等一些不好的词汇。Stephen做了一次核磁共振扫描后发现我们大脑中有一部分是与粗话相联系的，妥瑞综合症和中风患者就不能说粗话；4）Spreading the World 书写让知识的保存和传递得以进行，第四集中Stephen将为我们介绍字母的来源和演化；5）The Power and The Glory 讲故事是人类表达自己情感、相互沟通的方式。通过与作家的交流，Stephen将告诉我们怎样写出更加引人入胜的故事。（松鼠字幕组）

从哈布斯堡王朝到神圣罗马帝国，维也纳是中欧的统治中心。历史学家Simon Sebag Montefiore讲述欧洲名城维也纳的兴衰。

In January 2002 Rory Stewart walked across Afghanistan-surviving by his wits, his knowledge of Persian dialects and Muslim customs, and the kindness of strangers. By day he passed through mountains covered in nine feet of snow, hamlets burned and emptied by the Taliban, and communities thriving amid the remains of medieval civilizations. By night he slept on villagers' floors, shared their meals, and listened to their stories of the recent and ancient past. Along the way Stewart met heroes and rogues, tribal elders and teenage soldiers, Taliban commanders and foreign-aid workers. He was also adopted by an unexpected companion-a retired fighting mastiff he named Babur in honor of Afghanistan's first Mughal emperor, in whose footsteps the pair was following.
Through these encounters-by turns touching, con-founding, surprising, and funny-Stewart makes tangible the forces of tradition, ideology, and allegiance that shape life in the map's countless places in between.

The story begins with the composer's father Leopold with whom Mozart conducted a passionate and tortured correspondence. It is Leopold who knows Mozart's secrets. And there is another voice: that of the music itself. Music is the key to unlocking the emotions of Mozart, starting in this film with the great piano works. Without this key, how can we ever understand the emotions that gave birth to some of the most beautiful sounds the world has ever heard? The first great phase of Mozart's brief life was that of the travelling child prodigy - gifted as a performer and writer of music - who grew into the genius who, working within the restrictions of his time, began to rewrite the musical rules.But there was another facet to Mozart - the adult thinker aware of the bigger picture, passionately attached to the progressive values of the Enlightenment - impressively well-read, a speaker of most European languages (even a little English), an Austrian Catholic, a Freemason and above all a composer at the height of his formidable powers, determined to succeed in the most difficult and lucrative area of all - Opera. Towards the end of his life, Mozart mastered the language of instrumental and orchestral writing - and how both love and loss provoked in him an extraordinary burst of creativity. This was essentially crystallised in three ambitious works that changed the future course of music: his last, great trilogy of symphonies - numbers 39, 40 and 41 - which he wrote in six short weeks.

A collection of eighteen essays by the author of Nineteen Eighty Four and Animal Farm, etc. these represent the last of his finished work. There is excellent reading here, whether it be the title piece on the English colonial attitude, or his thoughts on books, poetry, cigarettes, a report on a hanging and a death, reflections on Gandhi, a toad, English murder, and other assorted topics, and in the field of the essay this provides fine style as well as stimulating thinking. For the selective reader as well as his established followers. (Kirkus Reviews) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
