The lesser prairie-chicken is in dire need of protection, but a decision on listing it under the Endangered Species Act is months overdue.

How a Distant Chapter in Spice Trade Foretells Today’s Climate Chaos [43]

When Europeans colonized remote Indonesian islands centuries ago to dominate the trade in nutmeg and cloves, they were repeating a pattern of domination of peoples and nature that author Amitav Ghosh argues in his latest book has brought us to the present-day environmental crisis. BookShelf reviewer Melody Kemp offers praise for the book’s strong narrative qualities and incisive historical analysis.
