Tuke painted oil studies of young male nudes during a tour of Italy in his early twenties in 1881, but the theme did not become central to his work until after 1885, when he had moved to Falmouth, then still a secluded part of Cornwall and a part of the country with a very mild climate that was more agreeable for nude bathing. There Tuke focused on maritime scenes and portraits, which showed boys and young men bathing, fishing and sunbathing on sunny beaches.

Maldit*s estranxeir*s! A descoñecida historia do Grande Incendio de Londres

Everyone knows that the Great Fire of London started at a baker's in Pudding Lane; that it was a terrible accident; and that hardly anyone died. However, many Londoners, reeling from plague and war, and torn apart by sectarian tensions, believed that the fire had been started deliberately by a foreign enemy living within their midst. And they wanted to make sure a foreigner would pay for this crime of the century.
For several apocalyptic days and nights, as the city burned, Londoners hunted the foreign fire-starters. The first target was the Dutch, whose cities, navy and empire Britain coveted; the second was the French, our fundamentalist religious enemies. After an orgy of rage and violence, cosmopolitan London had found its incendiary alien - a Frenchman who claimed to have committed this act of terror - and from whom the mob would, quite literally, demand their pound of flesh.
But many were left wondering whether the real horrors had been committed by Londoners themselves. As the real stories of hardship and heroism emerged, the authorities had to ask whether London's foreign communities had been more loyal than they could ever have imagined.
With expert interviews, fresh visualisations of 17th-century London and contemporary sources, The Untold Great Fire of London reveals the dirty truth behind one of our most famous historical moments.

A historia da ciencia: poder, evidencia e paixón

For thousands of years we have wrestled with the great questions of existence. Who are we? What is the world made of? How did we get here? The quest to answer these is the story of science.
Each week, medical journalist Michael Mosley traces the often unpredictable path we have taken. From recreating a famous alchemist’s experiment, to following in Galileo’s footsteps, and putting himself in the hands of a hypnotist, Michael unpicks how science has changed the way we see ourselves, and the way we see our world.
It is a tale of courage and of fear, of hope and disaster, of persistence and success. It interweaves great forces of history – revolutions, voyages of discovery and artistic movements – with practical, ingenious inventions and the dogged determination of experimenters and scientists.
This is the story of how history made science and how science made history, and how the ideas which emerged made the modern world.

Mentes fermosas

Who are the modern men and women who will be remembered for the brilliance of their minds? What are their legacies and what can their extraordinary discoveries tell us about the nature of science and the nature of truth?
In the first of a three-part series, Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell describes how she discovered pulsars, the by-products of supernova explosions which make all life in the universe possible. She describes the moments of despair and jubilation as the discovery unfolded and her excitement as pulsars took the scientific world by storm.
Profoundly reflective about the nature of scientific discovery, she shares her thoughts on the connections between religion and science and describes how she see science as a search for understanding rather than a quest for truth.

Great minds don't think alike. In fact, offbeat thinking has led to some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our age.
In the second of a three-part series uncovering the minds behind some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our age, James Lovelock explains how his maverick way of thinking led him not only to technical breakthroughs in atmospheric detection systems on Earth and Mars, but also to Gaia - a new way of thinking about the Earth as a holistic, self-regulating system.
He tells of his struggle against the scientific consensus of the day, the ridicule of his peers and his passionate belief that the mainstream scientific establishment stifles intellectual creativity.

The final part of this series looking at three brilliant contemporary scientists features Sir Tim Hunt, awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery of the mechanism of how cells divide - a discovery fundamental to the life and growth of every single creature on the planet, as well as a vital clue into the mystery of cancer.
Hunt recalls moments in his life that provided inspiration for his career as a scientist, from his father's intent scholarship which shaped his early methods to his mother's battle with cancer and the influence of this on his current position at Cancer Research UK.
In his own words, Hunt recounts the events that informed his discovery, from chance encounters to life-changing conversations and reveals his own opinions on the thought processes, both logical and emotional, that led to his extraordinary discovery.

Mapas: poder, saqueo e posesión

In a series about the extraordinary stories behind maps, Professor Jerry Brotton uncovers how maps aren't simply about getting from A to B but are revealing snapshots of defining moments in history and tools of political power and persuasion.
Visiting the world's first known map, etched into the rocks of a remote alpine hillside 3,000 years ago, Brotton explores how each culture develops its own unique, often surprising way of mapping. As Henry VIII's stunning maps of the British coastline from a bird's eye view show, they were also used to exert control over the world.
During the Enlightenment, the great French Cassini dynasty pioneered the western quest to map the world with greater scientific accuracy, leading also to the British Ordnance Survey. But these new scientific methods were challenged by cultures with alternative ways of mapping, such as in a Polynesian navigator's map which has no use for north, south and east.
As scientifically accurate map-making became a powerful tool of European expansion, the British carved the state of Iraq out of the Middle East. When the British drew up Iraq's boundaries, they had devastating consequences for the nomadic tribes of Mesopotamia.

In a series about the extraordinary stories behind maps, Professor Jerry Brotton shows how maps can reveal the fears, obsessions and prejudices of their age.
Religious passion inspires beautiful medieval maps of the world, showing the way to heaven, the pilgrims' route to Jerusalem and monstrous children who eat their parents. But by the Victorian era society is obsessed with race, poverty and disease. Royal cartographer James Wyld's world map awards each country a mark from one to five, depending on how 'civilised' he deems each nation to be. And a map made to help Jewish immigrants in the East End inadvertently fuels anti-semitism.
'Map wars' break out in the 1970s when left-wing journalist Arno Peters claims that the world map shown in most atlases was a lie that short-changed the developing world. In Zurich, Brotton talks to Google Earth about the cutting edge of cartography and at Worldmapper he sees how social problems such as infant mortality and HIV are strikingly portrayed on computer-generated maps that bend the world out of shape and reflect the spirit of our age.

O xardín comestibel

Para que teño unha horta?
Teño unha horta porque teño fame. En concreto, teño unha fame que só se pode satisfacer a trevés da terra, e que só se pode saciar co que agroma. Cultivo porque sinto que hei de facelo; é como defino quen son, unha das maneiras coas que lle topo sentido a este mundo e coa que compenso o meu lugar nel.
Cos anos fun vendo que no é so cultivar, senon o xeito de cultivar o que importa.
Facer "O Xardín Comestibel" foi a maneira de atopar o xeito de cultivar máis xentíl posible co mundo. Un xardín que me agrada e que me alimenta e que é á vez un fogar para quen o visit. Escollendo cultivar os meus vexetais ao lado das miñas flores nunha mestura perfecta, a policultura, topei o xeito de combinar o mellor deses dous mundos.
O obxectivo é procurarme alomenos unha refrección diaría da miña horta ao longo da temporada de crecemento e acumular suficiente comida na lacena para soportar o inverno.
Procurei amigas para facer esta viaxe. Algunhas falan de permacultura, outras de como facer delicias co que apañamos - todo o mundo comparte unha crenza comun sobre como obter a felicidade, o pracer verdadeiro partindo do que se crea, non do que se compra.

O Restoration Man

Neste episodio, George, o noso Restoration Man, coñece a Gareth, un home decidido a non vivir nunha casa sen personalidade.
O Gareth e a sua muller Jill soñan ter unha casa única para viviren coa súa familia. Malia non ter experiencia previa na construcción, o Gareth non resiste a mercar unha antiga igrexa no Pembrokeshire, e planexa rehabilitar o abandonado edificio el mesmo para aforrar cartos.
Pode que sexa un edificio único, mais está rodeado por tumbas de centos de mortos e iso significa unha chea de formalidades. Ainda por riba, o pequeno orzamento forza a Gareth a atopar a meirande parte dos materiais a través de ebay.
Gorges ofrece una man para axudar co deseño e co estrés que supón para a familia o proceso da rehabilitación.
Despois do visto e prace das arqueólogas, Gareth pode seguir co seu traballo. Como non chegan os cartos, el mesmo fai o traballo especializado.
Gareth e Jill tentan seguir preceptos ecolóxicos, e así instalan un panel solar, unha bomba de aire quente e un sistema de recollida de augas pluviais. A igrexa quentará-se cunha estufa central que queima madeira e o illamento ha de ser esencial.
Malia a falta de experiencia do Gareth, remata a igrexa de maneira moi xeitosa. A cociña de planta aberta, a sala de estar e o comedor son espaciosos e luminosos, mentes que arriba o luxoso baño e as ocorrentes habitacións aproveitan ao máximo as fiestras orixinais da igrexa e a súa estructura de madeira.

Lingua de calidade do profesor Xosé Ramón Freixeiro Mato pretende dar algunhas receitas para determos o proceso de deturpación castelanizadora da nosa lingua e para (re)construírmos un galego de calidade liberado de interferencias espurias, un galego máis auténtico e por iso con futuro. Aínda que boa parte desas receitas son de natureza lingüístico-gramatical (fonéticas, morfolóxicas, sintácticas, léxicas ou pragmáticas), tamén se inclúen algunhas reflexións que pretenden contribuír para o fortalecemento da nosa autoestima lingüística, tentando desfacer de paso algunhas ideas preconceptuosas sobre a súa historia e situación actual. Un galego de calidade utilizado oralmente e por escrito por persoas orgullosas e conscientes da importancia do seu idioma é a fórmula máis acaída para garantirmos o seu futuro.

A vida secreta do caos

A teoría do Caos ten mala fama, xa que trae á mente imaxes de tempo impredecible, quebras económicas e erros científicos. Mais existe unha cara fascinante e oculta do caos, e a cienca comeza a entendela.
Resulta que a teoría do Caos resposta a pregunta que a humanidade leva facéndose durante milenios - como chegamos ata aquí?
Neste documental Professor Jim Al-Khalili tenta descubrir un dos grandes misterios da ciencia - como é que un universo que comezou sendo só pó remata tendo vida intelixente? Como é que xorde a orde da desorde? É unha idea que en principio desafiaría á lóxica e contraven a intuición, e para moita xente, resulta desacougante.
Pero o profesor Al-Khalili expón a ciencia que se agocha tras a beleza e a estructura do mundo natural e descobre que lonxe de ser froito da maxia ou dun acto de deus, é de feito unha parte intrínsica das leis da física. Sorprendentemente, resulta que as matemáticas do caos poden explicar como e porque o universo crea unha exquisita orde e estructura.
E o mellor é que non hai que ser cientista para entendelo. O mundo natural está cheo de incribles exemplos de como a natureza transforma a simplicidade en complexidade. Desde as árbores e as nubes ata a humanidade - despois de mirar este filme nunca seremos quen de ollar o mundo do mesmo xeito.

Simon Schama On Obama's America
9pm, BBC2
A typically magisterial survey of the Obama era so far by Simon Schama. He begins with the subject that has consumed much of the new president's first year on the job, and may yet define him: Afghanistan. Schama's preferred parallel is the Korean war, another conflict America entered professing altruistic aims, but exited with its nose bloodied. After nearly a decade of scrapping with the Taliban, no end is in sight; nor is any coherent idea of what a satisfactory end might resemble. Obama, elected an idealist, is less convincing as a prag-matist.
