How does Surrealism relate to Freud? What does Freud have to do with the Prisoner’s dilemma? Josie Long takes you on a whistle-stop tour and finds the connections between Surrealism, Psychoanalysis, Game Theory, Nuclear Fission and microbes that may have played a key role in the origins of life. In these animations, you’ll learn what Freud has to tell us about sex and cake, whether Nuclear Fission can be demonstrated with peas and sweetcorn and what exactly an Extremophile is.

How was The Cold War fought? What types of evidence do historians use to understand the events that took place? The Cold War was a state of political and military tension between the USA and the Soviet Union, along with their respective allies in the Western and Eastern Blocs. As The Cold War was ‘fought’ in so many different ways, it gives historians the opportunity to discuss the many ways that you can study the time period. This audio collection looks at how Cold War historians combine traditional sources with other forms of social and cultural history to build an overall view of this conflict. This material forms part of the Open University course ‘A327 Europe 1914-1989 War, Peace Modernity’

Award-winning real stories of the Cold War told by those who were there. Every week we interview an eyewitness of the Cold War.
