The best of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio this week with Antonia Quirke.
This week, globe-makers wrest worlds from gauze and water and leopards protect rare thickets of Ethiopian jungle. Darwin’s Beagle slumbers in the Essex marshes, while wasps in Darwin's garden swoon on the pollen of orchids. A childhood is thwarted; a boyhood eased by horses; a whole language saved from encroaching flames. And a train traces a route along the hinge of two great powers.
