A Point of View
by Lisa Jardine

‘I want to use the moment as a springboard for some big ideas. I want to use the past and present to stimulate and challenge the listener and seduce them into thinking differently.’ Lisa Jardine

Provocative and inspirational, Lisa Jardine is one of our pre-eminent thinkers. A leading academic, Lisa is a polymath who embraces both the arts and the sciences with equal passion and has that rare gift of being able to make her subject and her thinking accessible to a mainstream audience. A Point of View is a collection of the hugely popular and critically-acclaimed talks that Lisa has given on Radio 4 in ‘A Point of View’ on Sunday mornings, replacing Alistair Cooke’s ‘Letter From America’.
