  Jealousy that green-eyed monster - can eat you up from the inside. Many people experience it as a
  destructive force in their lives. Jealousy frequently sparks arguments, the breakdown of relationships,
  domestic violence, even murder. But it is an integral part of our emotional palette, so why do we need it?

  The figures of the grumpy old man and woman are a part of popular culture, but this clichéd image may be wrong.
  New research tells us that as we get older we often become happier. For as we age we pay less attention to
  negative thoughts. But what is the evolutionary explanation for this? Join Julie Browning for the final episode
  exploring the emotional brain and our ever-increasing capacity for happiness.

  There's nothing new about nostalgia. Looking back is reassuring in times of uncertainty and,

  Nostalgia for a time when the world still had style leads to cocktail drinking and Diana Krall.
  Nostalgia for a time when we were all in touch with our spirituality leads to an enthusiasm for
  Gregorian chant. Nostalgia for simpler times when people just sat around in huts and made up songs
  leads to World Music. Of course, it's possible that such times never actually existed.

• "The Planet" , 22/6/04
  Taiwan’s indigenous peoples are not Han Chinese. The island’s aborigines are the northernmost Austronesian peoples, among whom are the Bunun. They live in high valleys surrounded by mountain forests. The Bunun have an extraordinary polyphonic song tradition, often singing whilst engaged in the activity a particular song depicts. They’ve always sung a cappella, accompanied only by the natural sounds around them. What happened when one of the world’s more worldly masters of the cello (he was making world music before the term was in use) visited the remote village of Wulu? Together, they made beautiful, unprecedented music. Those who made it were surprised & delighted, as surely will be anyone who hears the CD by David Darling & The Wulu Bunun.

• Interview with Edith Johnston, Verbatim

  Edith Johnston grew up in Germany in the 1930s. Her father distrusted Hitler and encouraged his daughters to listen to the BBC for an alternative view of the Fuhrer. But as a teacher, it was essential to keep those views to herself.

• "Who'd Want To Be a Teacher?",
  Part 1: The Teaching's Only a Part of It.
  (Street Stories)
  QuickTime 6
  The pay's not great, they work long hours, the kids don't respect them and often neither do we. Once upon a time a teacher could focus on teaching children and were paid the same as a parliamentary backbencher for their efforts. But while the curriculum has mushroomed and paperwork and backchat blown out, in real terms their pay has plummeted.

• "Lies and Spin", Background Briefing
  QuickTime 6
  To talk straight you should use the maxim of quantity. Do not say too much or too little. Quality. Do not tell lies or mislead. Say what is relevant. And the manner. Do not be obscure or incoherent. These form the rational basis for co-operative communication. Background Briefing investigates why there is precious little of it.

• Comings and Goings, Dots on the Landscape, Episode 6
  QuickTime 6
  The earliest Australian composers came from overseas and many continue to come. Equally, composers who were born here often find, like Grainger, that they can work more effectively in another country. How does the expatriate experience affect a composer? And how does it affect the composer's view of Australia?

• Looking Around, Dots on the Landscape, Episode 5
  QuickTime 6
  The landscape has always been central to the visual arts in Australia. In music too, composers have drawn inspiration both from the landscape itself and the fauna it supports. Birdsong, for example, has been a feature of Australian composition since its earliest days. A composer like David Lumsdaine can even make musical works that consist entirely of edited recordings of birdsong. But there are other sorts of landscape besides the Outback and the Bush, and Barry Conyngham inspiration has been the cities in which the majority of Australians live.

• Looking North, Dots on the Landscape, Episode 4
  QuickTime 6
  In spite of Grainger's urgings, it was really not until the 1960s that Australian composers began to turn their gazes away from Europe and tap Asia as a musical resource. Some of these tappings were consciously "oriental" (Sculthorpe, Conyngham, Boyd) while others were more aesthetic (Meale). What have been the advantages of embracing influences from Indonesian gamelan to Japanese gagaku? What have been the effects on music in Australia?

• Percy, Dots on the Landscape, Episode 3
  QuickTime 6
  Percy Grainger is Australia's best-known composer. His music and his life seem to embody many of the recurrent trends in Australian music: emigration, experimentation, and larrikinism. Grainger was also among the first to identify the unique potential of musical composition in Australia and to recommend that composers in this country look to the north (i.e. Asia) for inspiration and affinity.

• Looking over Our Shoulders, Dots on the Landscape, Ep. 2
  QuickTime 6
  Europe provided Australian music with its early role models and its institutions: the concert hall, the opera house, the symphony orchestra. Young composers continue to study there and, at various time, there have been centres that have attracted our most talented musicians (e.g. Hill and Grainger at Leipzig in the 1880s and 90s; Boyd, Wesley-Smith and Edwards in York in the 1970s). And yet Australian composers have an increasingly ambivalent attitude to Europe. Working out that attitude seems still to be one of the defining features of Australian composition.

• The Colonial Quadrille, Dots on the Landscape, Episode 1.
  QuickTime 6
  Since European settlement, music in Australia has had a continuously evolving role in Australian society. The music of Isaac Nathan, reputedly the colony's first professional composer, hardly constitutes an auspicious beginning to the art of composition in this country, but his arrangements of "Aboriginal melodies" and his ambitions as a composer of opera, set the scene for certain later endeavours in Australian music. Certainly, much of the 20^th century was concerned with the need to write the Great Australian Opera and the search for an elusive Australian Identity in music.

  The Big Idea

  The world is entering a new period of intellectual revolution in the biological sciences. Biotechnology is already bringing about radical changes in the way we treat disease and the way we are able to reproduce. In the future it will alter our bodies and our lifespan. We will also be presented with new ethical dilemmas, about who gets access to the new technology, about whether we embark on a process which will see our species fundamentally re-engineered, and about what happens to those who get left behind.
