the
week. This week: "Religion and Politics". Author Marion Maddox talks

developments
across the continent with Keri Phillips. This week: "Underground
Economy". Now a member of the EU, Poland is snuggling up to the
economic security of Western Europe. But, in the country’s southwest,

solely by the law of supply and demand. [T;%]

though the long term effects of that will determine the future of
humanity. Marine scientist and author Ian Irvine explores some of the
more alarming scenarios facing the earth from melting ice caps and
rising sea levels to changes in global circulation patterns that
control the weather resulting in devastation for the world's coastal
cities. [T;%]

[T;%]
Thu.: THE ARK - curious moments in religious history that shatter the
usual perception of the past and illuminate the present. This week:
"Jesus and The Da Vinci Code". The figure of Jesus in the best-selling

Crucifixion who marries Mary Magdalene, travels to the south of France,
and has a child named Sarah. Is this bad history or just mad fiction?

affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Reconciling Canada".
