Superquark S16E04 · Episode 4

Overview

Another of the spectacular BBC series The Great Spectacle of Nature is the documentary of the fourth episode of Superquark, which takes us along the coasts of Alaska, when the sun returns to warm the earth and the water becomes an enormous pantry, full of food: it is the Time of Abundance. Humpback whales, with their calves, arrive here from as far away as Hawaii, but the price to pay is the very dangerous presence of hungry killer whale. Numerous, as always, the services and columns, among which: how can aesthetic beauty, insulation, recycling and even anti-earthquake systems be reconciled. We are talking about the Academy of Science of San Francisco, where the original solutions are not signed by some brilliant American architect, but by an Italian: Renzo Piano. In the last thirty years the fertility of Western men has drastically reduced: how widespread is male infertility and what are the causes?
