Read the story »Hack the Planet: Science’s Best Hope – or Worst Nightmare – for Averting Climate Catastrophe
Starred Review. At one time a fringe notion, the idea of geoengineering-using radical means to change the climate deliberately-is gaining traction in scientific conferences and even in the White House, where doubts are growing regarding the efficacy of mainstream strategies (conservation, alternative energy, “storing carbon dioxide from coal plants in the ground”). In this fascinating wake-up call, Science magazine writer Kintisch begins with the startling notion that “clean air could kill us,” because tiny particles in the atmosphere scatter sunlight and cool the planet; a proposal mimicking the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo, which cooled the earth by a half degree, would release 5.3 million tons of sulfur into the atmosphere per year to counter global warming. Opponents argue that the unforeseen consequences of this and similar efforts could prove more disastrous than the original problems; Kintisch also suggests that conservatives embracing radical solutions like large-scale ocean algae blooms are simply trying to block profit-threatening regulation and alternative energy development. By no means a run-of-the-mill survey of climate change solutions, this volume takes a engaged but balanced look at humanity’s life-or-death situation, providing numerous angles on the role of cutting-edge science as either “our downfall or our savior.” Download Here If you liked this post, buy me a beer.

Read the story »Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Civilization
The devastating struggle to the death between the Carthaginians and the Romans was one of the defining dramas of the ancient world. In an epic series of land and sea battles, both sides came close to victory before the Carthaginians finally succumbed and their capital city, history, and culture were almost utterly erased. Drawing on a wealth of new archaeological research, Richard Miles vividly brings to life this lost empire-from its origins among the Phoenician settlements of Lebanon to its apotheosis as the greatest seapower in the Mediterranean. And at the heart of the history of Carthage lies the extraordinary figure of Hannibal-the scourge of Rome and one of the greatest military leaders, but a man who also unwittingly led his people to catastrophe. The first full-scale history of Carthage in decades, Carthage Must Be Destroyed reintroduces modern readers to the larger-than-life historical players and the ancient glory of this almost forgotten civilization.

Parkour is a physical activity that is difficult to categorize. It is often mis-categorized as a sport or an extreme sport; however, Parkour has no set of rules, team work, formal hierarchy, or competitiveness. Most experienced traceurs think of Parkour as a discipline closer to martial arts. According to REFO, “the physical aspect of Parkour is getting over all the obstacles in your path as you would in an emergency. You want to move in such a way, with any movement, as to help you gain the most ground on someone or something, whether escaping from it or chasing toward it.”
