For many years I tried, without success, to crack the code of a literary critical puzzle concerning D. H. Lawrence. The tradition of post-World War II Lawrence criticism, remarkable though it was in remaking successive Lawrences sensitive to the discourses of the day (existentialism, feminism, postcolonialism, eco-criticism), hadn’t got me there. But then, amidst the […]

Meteorites pelt our planet at a rate of 80,000 tons per year. About 70% of this material falls into the oceans, but much of the rest is potentially recoverable. And recovery is essential – meteorites are the most important rocks on Earth. They are the number-one source of extraterrestrial material, and they come to Earth […]

Calls to establish international administrations have been made in numerous contemporary contexts, including Afghanistan, the Congo, Haiti, Kosovo, Iraq, Liberia, Libya, Palestine, South Sudan, Syria, Timor-Leste or Yemen. More recently, they have been made in the context of the war in the Middle East (to “administer” Palestine) or in the Ukraine. Some of these projects […]

The United States entered World War II ill-prepared. This was typical—to avoid preparing for war until it occurred. At that point, herculean efforts were exerted, industry and resources were mobilized, huge sums appropriated, and an overwhelming military juggernaut was built, trained, and deployed. It would take time, but the country’s latent power would ensure success—eventually. […]
