Since Marco Polo, the fabled markets of China have drawn the west like a magnet. This
ancient culture has been colonized by foreign powers, buffeted by war and revolution, yet China remains
one of the most constant of international influences. It is a sleeping giant. Many fear, and some welcome
its awakening. This presentation examines both the changing and constant face that China has offered to
the world.

The World's Political Hot Spots series explains the basis of conflicts in some of the world's most politically
sensitive areas. Many of these regions are in today's headlines, and tensions recently have become violent
in virtually all of them. Each presentation covers up to ten centuries of background, revealing how and why
today's problems occur.

The audio of the million-selling book - Pete McCarthy's hilarious journey in search of his Irish roots.

McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.

Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways.
