In June 2008, Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and his Norwegian counterpart Jonas Gahr Støre sat aboard a nuclear icebreaker in Murmansk, watching a football match and drinking vodka. Two years later, the two countries settled a maritime boundary dispute that had dragged on for four decades. That was Arctic geopolitics. In December 2024, an […]

A good question, you might say, and one that some astronomers asked when I presented a paper the subject at a recent meeting of the American Astronomical Society! The philosophy of science and of specific sciences such as physics, chemistry, and biology are well-developed fields with their own books and journals. These studies are important […]

In 1618, the parish clerk of St Botolph’s Aldgate, in London, wrote a detailed account of a wedding he had just witnessed, ‘because we never had the like’ before. What was so unusual about this marriage was that the groom was congenitally deaf, and used sign language instead of speech to make his vows. That […]

The soul of modern complexity science lies in understanding, training, and controlling the interactions among millions of elementary degrees of freedom to generate emergent dynamics; in other words, to shape the effective physical laws that govern the behavior we observe. This goal has so far been achieved primarily in computer simulations and in models that […]

Yet only a few decades ago, many institutional shareholders were criticised as passive or “absentee owners”. Today, […]

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 […]
