  • Faith in Nation

    European Nationalism

    Anthony Marx, author of Faith In Nation, examines the origins of European nationalism. He argues it traces back earlier than most academics assume. Carey Winfrey, editor-in-chief of Smithsonian Magazine, joins journalist Andrew Lawler, to discuss the loss of Iraqi art and archaeological treasures during the war. Plus, Subhankar Banerjee takes us on a photographic journey into the arctic Seasons of Life and Land. And Jane Avrich shares her collection of short stories, The Winter Without Milk.

On September 7, 2009, scientists working for the Chemical Abstract Service (which assigns identification numbers to all new chemicals) entered the 50-millionth chemical substance into their Registry. Chemist and industrial hygienist Monona Rossol, President and Founder of Arts, Crafts & Theater Safety, took a look at what all these new substances are, where they are coming from, and how they affect our health. Rossol also responded to listener comments and questions. You can read her answers here.
