  For decades Carl Jung's "Red Book" remained the most famous unpublished book in the history of psychology. Jung refused to publish it during his lifetime, and his heirs kept it locked up after he died. The "Red Book" recorded Jung's visionary paintings and laid out his radical ideas for a new kind of psychology. The program explains why this legendary book will change our thinking about Carl Jung.

  NATO Panel
  Now including 28 countries of Western, Eastern and Southern Europe - as well as the United States - NATO has evolved to include roles as varied as fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, airlifting aid to Haiti after the recent earthquake and ensuring collaboration among its members in combating terrorism. What else does NATO do today? How strong is this alliance? How is it measuring up to the new challenges of security we and our European allies face, from terrorism and cyberterrorism, climate change, the global economic rollercoaster, pandemics, natural disasters and nuclear proliferation? What should an alliance of economically developed democracies be doing in the world today? The program presents an informal, open-mike discussion with the current U.S. ambassador to NATO, Ivo Daalder, the current Italian ambassador to NATO, Stefano Stefanini, and the current Danish ambassador To NATO, Per Poulsen-Hansen.

  James Balog
  As a photographer, mountaineer, scientist and explorer, James Balog has been traveling the world to photograph the intersection of humans and their environment. His adventurous spirit has led him to stumble across a story of magnificent proportions. The rapid change of our frozen world is the most visually dramatic and immediately compelling evidence of climate change on our planet. The ice of the world, which took centuries to form, is melting so fast that it can be seen on the scale of a few years, sometimes a few weeks. Balog's latest project, "The Extreme Ice Survey" documents our impact on these icy regions of the world. His innovative approach to crafting his vision of the natural world has led to many awards, including the Leica Medal of Excellence. In 2008, he was named the Outstanding Photographer of the Year from the North American Nature Photography Association. Balog is the author of six books, including "Tree: A New Vision of the American Forest" and "Survivors: A New Vision of Endangered Wildlife," which was widely hailed as a major conceptual breakthrough in nature photography. Balog is a contributing editor to National Geographic Adventure and is the subject of the short film "A Redwood Grows in Brooklyn." Balog appeared in conversation with KQED's Rachael Myrow on January 26, 2010.
