Celebrate Memorial Day with a blast of cold air! We look at the finest writing about the Arctic and Antarctic. Also, Sebastian Copeland on his amazing photos of Antarctica. Then: complexity theorist Stuart Kaufman on how science, religion, and reason can co-exist. And Fareed Zakaria explains why he says the world is entering a post-American phase.
The Post-American World
Fareed Zakaria says that post-Cold War America needs to accept that the rest of the world doesn’t revolve around us, and that our world will be re-shaped in the near future as other countries like China, India, Brazil and Russia become more and more powerful. His new book is The Post-American World.
Words from the Arctic and Antarctic
Elizabeth Kolbert co-edited a collection of the finest writing about the Arctic and Antarctic, The Ends of the Earth. The book honors four centuries of exploration and scientific study, and also is a reminder of what we risk losing because of climate change.
Photos of Antarctica
Master photographer Sebastian Copeland shares his amazing photos of Antarctica in a new book, http://www.amazon.com/Antarctica-Global-Warning-Sebastian-Copeland/dp/1933784199.
A New View of Science, Reason, and Religion
Complexity theorist Stuart Kauffman says that it’s possible for science, reason, and religion to co-exist in a cohesive worldview. His new book is Reinventing the Sacred.
