Among the moons in our solar system, Earth's moon is special.

It's very large relative to Earth, and its presence has helped Earth remain habitable. It stabilizes our planet's axial tilt, which helps create a climate and seasons more amenable to life. It also generates the oceans' tides, which helps coastal regions be the biodiverse and rich regions they are.

Indonesian government to investigate origin of washed-up logs

Throughout the catastrophic flooding that rocked Sumatra over the weekend, residents noted a common phenomenon – huge piles of logs that crowded on shorelines, rumbled through floodwaters, and piled up where homes once stood.

From 2001 to 2024, lost 320,000sq km (123,553sq miles) of tree cover, according to watchdog Global Forest Watch, equivalent to about 20 percent of its total tree cover area in 2000.

IFRC calls for improved early warning systems

“These floods are a stark reminder that climate-driven disasters are becoming the new normal, and investment in resilience and preparedness is critical.”

Alexander Matheou

A mere forecast cannot make up for decades of unplanned growth, weak land-use regulation and the absence of safe alternatives.

How Intolerance and Extremism Happen:
Understanding our Deepest Divides

Demagogues and dictators (a subset of demagogues) frequently lead extremist movements. They often enjoy widespread popular support. One reason is that they claim to (or do) solve a problem that appears unsolvable. If problems don’t exist, ruthless dictators or demagogues create them so that they can position themselves as the only viable solution.

The Trouble with Ancient DNA: Telling Stories of the Past with Genomic Science by Anna Källén, 2025

A thoughtful consideration of the storytelling and science behind ancient DNA discoveries.

In The Trouble with Ancient DNA, Anna Källén explores how the parameters of genetic science influence the stories we tell about our ancient ancestors, questioning what narratives we can and should take at face value.




Through accounts of migrations, warriors, and figures like Cheddar Man, we see enticing and potent narratives that reach far beyond what can be gathered from the scientific study of molecules alone.

Watch before you speak, Play before you Teach by Darius Ryan-Kadem, 2025

How to understand and raise a cooperative child through connection and effective communication

Understanding your child begins with seeing beneath the behaviour.

This book introduces three essential pillars for interpreting children’s actions, deepening communication, and fostering cooperation.



Rooted in developmental insight, it challenges common approaches like punishment, bribes, and threats — offering instead a respectful framework built on boundaries, expectations, and natural consequences. With a focus on connection over control, it explores how to manage conflict, reduce power struggles, and support emotional growth, learning, and social development. Play is presented as a powerful tool for strengthening these areas. Blending analytical depth with real-life examples, this is a practical and compassionate guide for navigating the everyday challenges of parenting. Though each child is unique, the principles shared here offer a flexible, thoughtful foundation for raising confident, cooperative, and emotionally secure children.

Do highly intelligent octopi make good pets? And why are baby animals, like baby humans, so darned cute: have they evolved to be born cute as a survival mechanism, and would that cuteness matter to others of their own kind who might consider them their next lunch? Full of fabulous insights, humorous asides, and the wisdom of decades in science reporting, You will never look at your pets the same way again (but be sure they’re watching you closely).

"Many words are walked in the world. Many worlds are made. Many worlds make us. There are words and worlds that are lies and injustices. There are words and worlds that are truthful and true. In the world of the powerful there is room only for the big and their helpers. In the world we want, everybody fits. The world we want is a world in which many worlds fit."
