BBC Knowledge - February 2018

IT'S A NEW YEAR, TIME TO FIND NEW HOPE IN THE WORLD.
Which is why you'll love our story on the way forward with plastics. Sure, we should all reduce our use of plastic, but there’s also great news about what’s been done about the plastic we’ve already used, and updates on alternatives to plastic that the scientists of the world are coming up with.
We also have good news from the world of wildlife – Italian wolves and tawny owls are doing great, thank you, and an update on space tourism. Yes, Elon Musk has the goods all right. We also have a fascinating story on the Knights Templar; if you liked The Da Vinci Code, you’ll want to read this one.
And there’s an interesting supposition in Something’s Wrong with Gravity – what if Einstein and Hawking missed out on telling us something vital?
Find out more about Kubera, the god of wealth, in our continuing series on Indian mythology, and turn to the last page for a fascinating found object – a glazed tile stolen from Uzbekistan.

Happy new year! May 2018 be a year of discovery for us all!
