Wonderfully thoughtful review of 'The Edge of the Plain' by @Francis_Wade in @thenation 📷(Great photograph too, of a broken section of the US-Mexico border wall at Playas de Tijuana) @wwnorton @htmidas @JontWood @rcwlitagency @canongatebooks thenation.com/article/cultur…

Letting Go of the Border

In The Edge of the Plain, James Crawford explores the fragility of borders in a warming planet, and asks how we might challenge the violence they have come to represent.

NEW: Astronomers have found a "planet killer" asteroid hiding in the sun's glare—and its orbit crosses Earth's. Don't panic: there is no chance it will hit us in the next century. But in a few millennia? It *may* become a problem. Me, for @NYTScience nytimes.com/2022/10/31/scien…

‘Planet Killer’ Asteroid Spotted That Poses Distant Risk to Earth (Published 2022)

The space rock had been hidden by the glare of the sun, suggesting that more large asteroids are in a solar system region difficult to study from Earth.

Review | ‘The Latinist’ is the perfect suspense novel to kick off your reading year

Set in the claustrophobic world of academia, this twisty tale by Mark Prins will remind you of Donna Tartt’s “The Secret History.”

Over the weekend, two of the country’s leading naturalists, E. O. Wilson and Tom Lovejoy, died a day apart. They first met in the mid-1970s, and, together, coined the term “biological diversity,” which was later shortened to “biodiversity.” nyer.cm/OmShJY7

Honoring the Legacy of E. O. Wilson and Tom Lovejoy

The two naturalists helped to pioneer the field of conservation biology and remained determinedly hopeful that humanity would make better choices.
