Moi?

It’s been a good year for red squirrels, at least in : a rewilding project led by the charity Trees for Life has seen their range increase by more than 25% in 10 years. This year alone, Trees for Life has relocated 259 red squirrels to woodland habitats where the species was missing, mainly in the northern and northwestern Highlands.

Girlhood in Afghanistan | At the madrasa

Since its takeover in August 2021, the Taliban has again turned women in Afghanistan into second-class citizens. Although hunger and malnutrition run rampant, and clinics and doctors are scarce in this already destitute country, it is especially girls who feel that fundamental human rights simply no longer apply to them. They are allowed to attend school until 7th grade, after which they are denied education

Hajira has little time left at elementary school, tirelessly studies textbooks at home, and joyfully writes numbers on the walls of her house. She lives with her siblings in an extremely poor family in a remote village in a province, east of Kabul. Blanchard met her at a health centre, where she was nursed back to health after several months of illness.

’s children at risk | The devastating impact of air

Natalya Saprunova’s image shows a kindergarten in the capital, where air purifiers have been installed to reduce pollution levels. Four-year-old girls are admitted to hospital with respiratory illnesses, young children undergo lung X-rays, and dozens die from carbon monoxide poisoning, while brown clouds rise from hundreds of thousands of chimneys into the icy winter air that can drop to -30C.

Mongolia’s children at risk | The devastating impact of air pollution

Particulate pollution from burning coal, which accounts for about 70% of the country’s energy generation, has catastrophic consequences, despite being one of the most sparsely populated, with an average of two inhabitants for each square kilometre, compared with about 240 in Germany.

Children in Jharia’s coal mines | Childhoods lost to smoke, fire and an endless struggle for survival

They breathe hot air from smouldering underground fires. They carry sacks instead of books, drink filthy water, and wade barefoot through black mud. And instead of the bell that signals the start of school, they hear the sound of pickaxes. This is what childhood looks like in Jharia, the infamous ‘burning city'.

Children in Jharia’s coal mines | Childhoods lost to smoke, fire and an endless struggle for survival

When houses and shacks collapse into cracks that open up in the hollowed-out ground beneath them, they have to live in ruins. Some crawl out of the coal mine entrances or scurry across smoking rubbish heaps like pitch-black shadows, dressed in rags, faces covered in black dust.

: I hope your family is safe

Since the Ukrainian photographer Anya Tsaruk left her country – to go first to Poland and then Germany – she has repeatedly been asked if her family is safe. More often than not, she doesn’t know what to answer. What does safety mean since the Russian invasion? What is it like to live with the constant threat of drone and missile attacks? The danger is everywhere.

: The journey home

Going to school in Cape Town can be risky, because some areas of the city are controlled by armed gangs. This is especially true in the Cape Flats, a plain where notorious townships were established during the apartheid era. High youth unemployment contributes to gang-related violence. The British photographer Laura Pannack accompanied teenagers on their way home from school.

I don’t want to be that person, but covid isn’t seasonal and sometimes peak in summer for example (in France, it did peak in june and October 2024 — where I got covid for the 2nd time — as well as October 2025).

It’s useful to check websites like health-infobase.canada.ca/wast to have an idea of if the virus is circulating a lot right now. So masking, renewing indoor air, using air purifiers, etc. are useful all day round

Albert Einstein The Poetry Of Real by Manuel Garcia Iglesias, 2019

A father offered his son, a five-year-old Albert Einstein, a compass that triggered an irrepressible need to understand the laws of the universe and an iconic scientific career. At first a simple employee of the Swiss Patent Office in Bern, the young Einstein published a series of scientific articles that questioned everything previously understood in the world of physics.




His theory, summed up by the formula E = mc2, opened to humanity the doors of the power of the atom. A legendary genius, but also a great humanist, Einstein lived through the first half of the 20th century, with all its horrors and contradictions, in the service of science, but distraught by what man's madness is capable of doing with it.

After Rumi The Mevlevis and Their World by Jamal J. Ellas

After Rumi The Mevlevis and Their World by A preeminent scholar of Islamic history chronicles the rise of the Mevlevis, the influential Sufi community founded by Rumi.

The thirteenth-century Persian poet and scholar Rumi is revered to this day. However, less attention has been paid to the Sufi community he founded: the Mevlevis, sometimes called the “Whirling Dervishes.”





The thirteenth-century Persian poet and scholar Rumi is revered to this day. However, less attention has been paid to the Sufi community he founded: the Mevlevis, sometimes called the “Whirling Dervishes.” Centered on the descendants of Rumi and the disciples of his thought, the Mevlevis flourished in Anatolia during a period of extraordinary political, religious, and linguistic change. By the seventeenth century, they had become the recognizable bearers of Rumi’s tradition across the Ottoman world. Jamal J. Elias argues that the Mevlevis are best understood as a community rooted in kinship and emotional affinity, anchored by multiple generations of partnership between Rumi’s descendants, known as Chelebis, and scholars devoted to his works. These collaborations shaped the religious, artistic, and social priorities of the Mevlevis, while also establishing the status of both Rumi and the Persian language in Ottoman society.

Adapting to Climate Change: Implications of Risk-Based Approaches by Claudia Morsut, 2025

has become the new mantra worldwide as the set of strategies, practices, and measures for coping with climate change and building resilient societies. Accompanying its rise on the international agenda, especially since the Paris Agreement, is the treatment of climate change adaptation using a risk management approach.

link.springer.com/book/10.1007



🎁

This Open Access book examines risk management as a type of policy logic that shapes and refracts the outcomes of climate change adaptation. Policy logics are underpinned by a set of ontological understandings of the nature of problems and how they should be handled, along with certain methodologies for analysing and acting upon those problems. Policy logics, in other words, are not politically neutral. Risk management approaches offer systematised models for making assessments and a clear set of decision tools. They also, however, may underestimate complexity, exclude wider social goals and trigger new unknown risks. This book offers a novel view on climate change adaptation by critically questioning the use of a risk management approach. Empirically, the book expands our understanding of which climate change adaptation policies are being adopted, at international and national levels. Theoretically, the book considers two sets of literatures enlightening the implications of a risk approach to the governance of extreme events: Security Studies and Risk Governance. Each of these fields is mined for key insights into the advantages and drawbacks of risk management. Analytically, the book assesses international and national policies in the light of these advantages and drawbacks and discusses the resulting implications at practical level.

Ancient Greek Lyrics by Willis Barnstone, 2009

Ancient Greek Lyrics collects Willis Barnstone's elegant translations of Greek lyric poetry—including the most complete Sappho in English, newly translated. This volume includes a representative sampling of all the significant poets, from Archilochos, in the 7th century BCE, through Pindar and the other great singers of the classical age, down to the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods.





William E. McCulloh's introduction illuminates the forms and development of the Greek lyric while Barnstone provides a brief biographical and literary sketch for each poet and adds a substantial introduction to Sappho—revised for this edition—complete with notes and sources. A glossary and updated bibliography are included.
