Books for Black History Month
We think that every month should be Black History Month, but until we're a few steps closer to realizing Dr. Martin Luther King's dream, that honor belongs to February. Oddly, February is also when we ask a groundhog to prognosticate the weather, in an annual hoax that celebrates the American penchant for pageantry, hokum, and hucksterism. But Black history doesn't just pop its head up once a year to remind us that winter is still here. It's alive, complex, and unfolding every day.

On Earth Day, a New Strategy for Reclaiming the Future from Fossil Fuels
On Earth Day, a New Strategy for Reclaiming the Future from Fossil Fuels
By Kathleen Dean Moore
Fifty-one years ago today, 21 million people celebrated the first Earth Day, a national commitment to clean air and water on the planet that sustains and delights us. Now, more than a billion people in 190 countries turn out to celebrate Earth Day every year and recommit to the planet’s protection.
Mary Emerick: On Love and Kayaking
There are five layers of the ocean, though most of us will only ever see one. The deepest layer is the midnight zone, where the only light comes from bioluminescence, created by animals who live there. In order to see, these creatures must create their own light. They move like solitary suns, encased in their own bubbles of freezing water. This is the most remote, unexplored zone on the planet. Though hostile to humans, it’s a source of rapt fascination for Mary Emerick, who would go there in a heartbeat if she could.
