'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".
