When people think about the Anthropocene—the age in which human activities have become a major force shaping the Earth’s climate, ecosystems, and geology—they usually picture changes on land. Cities expand, forests disappear, industries grow, and transportation networks spread across continents. Yet throughout the years I spent researching and writing Earth’s Amphibious Transformation, I became increasingly […]

As my book neared completion, I thought, ‘how great would it be to organize a book launch, something small?” I’m the editor of the Cambridge Companion to Martin Amis, featuring 14 contributors from five different countries. I imagined a roundtable discussion, a few hours max, at one of our universities. Easy, quick, small. ‘Probably won’t […]

They denounced Xi Jinping’s concentration of autocratic power, his crackdowns […]

In the last decade of his life, my paternal grandfather suffered from undiagnosed vascular dementia. During those years, we saw sudden changes in his speech, mood, personality and behaviour, ranging from unprovoked aggression to gloomy withdrawal. His son – my father – is a committed Christian, who believes that every human soul will live forever. […]

Human-built spacecraft have visited every single planet in our solar system, as well as several comets and asteroids. We have landed robotic spacecraft not only on Venus and Mars but also on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. Spacecraft have dived down close to the Sun’s surface and others have escaped the solar system, flung […]
