A Changed Landscape

Available for over a year

How best to deal with situations where the conventional wisdom no longer holds? Pascale Harter introduces dispatches from around the world with insights from: Guy Hedgecoe - analysing Spain's newly fragmented political panorama, 40 years after the death of former dictator Francisco Franco and days before a general election in which several new populist parties will contend for the first time; Robert Hodierne, whose home base near Richmond, Virginia gives him plenty of opportunity to hear from bedrock Republican voters about what they're looking for in a US Presidential candidate - and why many of them are still keen on Donald Trump; Sally Howard, high in the plains of the Peruvian Andes, learning how to "dance like a crazy frog" in a village of the indigenous Corcor people and hearing how a new airport to serve Machu Picchu might change their lives; and Richard Hollingham, who visits an otherworldly science laboratory in Germany: Envirohab, a place to investigate the health effects of long-term space travel. But why don't any of the doors have handles?
