How many people actually think about keeping global warming under 2°C, perhaps even when they come face to face with it during a heatwave or hurricane? How do we close the gap between science and the average person?It is often said that the role of art is to hold a mirr...2022-11-2229 min

Smarty Pants#252: Welcome to the OsmocosmHarold McGee’s 1984 book On Food and Cooking—revised extensively in 2004—changed modern cuisine, inspiring the molecular gastronomy of Ferran Adrià as well as the weeknight creations of humble home cooks everywhere. McGee’s latest book, Nose Dive, is a companion encyclopedia to On Food and Cooking, and it focuses on the most overlooked of our senses: smell. When we bring a fresh oyster or a glass of wine to our lips, what makes us detect minerality or grassiness? When did the molecules that we smell first appear? What happens to these volatile molecules when we transform our food, whether t...2022-10-1432 min

Ammy Reads(Short Story) You, Dissapearing - Alexandra KleemanCerpen ini mungkin tidak se-klasik atau se-legend karya-karya yang saya bacakan selama ini. Penulisnya adalah pendatang baru dan masih muda namun karyanya telah cukup banyak diulas oleh koran-koran ternama. Cerpen ini mengisahkan tentang ketakutan menghadapi sebuah akhir. Berbeda dengan kekasihnya yang selalu bersikap optimis dan cenderung tenang menghadapi kiamat, tokoh utama justru ketakutan. Kiamat yang digambarkan di sini adalah hilangnya satu per satu benda atau makhluk di muka bumi. Hilang begitu saja tak meninggalkan jejak, seolah tak pernah ada sebelumnya. Karena ketakutan, si tokoh utama malah memutuskan pergi menjauh dan 'menghilang' sebelum benar-benar menghilang. Ternyata kekasihnya lah yang terlebih dahulu...2021-04-0530 min

Smarty Pants#146: How to Save Farming From ItselfFor decades, we’ve been filling our plates with fruit and vegetables from California’s Central Valley and with meat fattened by the golden fields of the Corn Belt. But the future of almonds and soybeans looks grim. Industrial agriculture yields massive crops, but in the process destroys its own foundations: groundwater and topsoil. In his new book, Perilous Bounty, journalist and former farmer Tom Philpott explores the contradictions in our food supply by narrowing his focus to these agricultural essentials—water and earth. He reveals a “quiet emergency” happening on our fruited plains, profiles the farmers adapting old ways to a...2020-09-1122 min

Smarty Pants#103: The Next MenuThis week, with the world's forests burning from the Amazon to Indonesia, we’re revisiting a 2017 episode about the future of food—the production of which, whether beef or palm oil, has caused an unprecedented number of deliberate fires. Centuries of colonialism and resource extraction have transformed continents and the waters between them. Oceans are rising and acidifying, resulting in the extinction of some species and the proliferation of others. What will the act of eating be like 30 years from now? Fifty? One hundred?

From an author of rare, haunting power, a stunning novel about a young African-American woman coming of age--a deeply felt meditation on race, sex, family, and country.
Raised in Pennsylvania, Thandi views the world of her mother's childhood in Johannesburg as both impossibly distant and ever present. She is an outsider wherever she goes, caught between being black and white, American and not. She tries to connect these dislocated pieces of her life, and as her mother succumbs to cancer, Thandi searches for an anchor--someone, or something, to love. In arresting and unsettling prose, we watch Thandi's li...2018-03-2444 minSkylight Books Podcast SeriesCARMEN MARIA MACHADO READS FROM HER NEW SHORT STORY COLLECTION HER BODY AND OTHER PARTIESHer Body and Other Parties (Graywolf Press)
In Her Body and Other Parties, Carmen Maria Machado blithely demolishes the arbitrary borders between psychological realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism. While her work has earned her comparisons to Karen Russell and Kelly Link, she has a voice that is all her own. In this electric and provocative debut, Machado bends genre to shape startling narratives that map the realities of women's lives and the violence visited upon their bodies.
