  The Shortest History of the...

  Despite their cultural influence, the grand narrative of the dinosaur story is rarely told. Most of us have heard of Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus, but these two dinosaurs lived more than eighty million years apart—a greater span of time than the entire post-T. rex history of the planet. Furthermore, we often know even less about the environments these animals lived in. 
   
   
   
  The Shortest History of the Dinosaurs tells the full story, a 230-million-year epic of small beginnings, spectacular golden periods, and eventual global domination—before an unthinkable asteroid event brought everything to a screeching halt. We learn that, for millions of years in the Triassic, dinosaurs were dog-sized—but slowly developing evolutionary traits like feathers and warm-bloodedness. In the Jurassic Period, these traits—and others like laying eggs and growing specialized air sacs—led to an era of rapid growth in dinosaur population and physical size. As Pangea continued to break apart, during the Cretaceous Period, dinosaurs traversed the globe, adapting to air and water—before a six-mile-wide asteroid hit Central America. 
   
   
   
  Using fossil discoveries and fresh understandings of genetics and evolution, author Riley Black reveals the startling relationships dinosaurs shared with each other, the land they lived on, other animal species, and the earth.

  Science for a Green New Deal -...

  Since it was first proposed in the US House of Representatives, the Green New Deal has been hotly debated. The intent was not simply to fight climate change or address a specific environmental concern, but rather to tackle how climate change and other environmental challenges affect the economy, the vulnerable, and social justice—and vice versa. 
   
   
   
  In Science for a Green New Deal, Eric Davidson dissects this legislative resolution. He also shows how green new deal thinking offers a framework for a convergence of the natural sciences, social science, economics, and community engagement to develop holistic policy solutions to the most pressing issues of our day. Davidson weaves the case for linkages among multiple global crises, including a pandemic that has reversed progress on fighting poverty and hunger, an acceleration of climate change, and a renewed awareness of profound social injustices highlighted by the Black Lives Matter movement. 
   
   
   
  Illustrating these points with his personal life experiences as a child growing up in Montana and as a famed researcher leading a large scientific society, Davidson relates these complex challenges to our everyday lives and decision-making. Science for a Green New Deal is a realistic and optimistic look at how we can attain a more sustainable, prosperous, and just future.

  Carib Civilization - The...

  The Carib civilization, known for their resilience and military prowess, was one of the dominant forces in the Caribbean before and during the early phases of European colonization. The Caribs, who were part of the larger Arawakan language family, developed a distinct culture that set them apart from other indigenous groups in the region. Their territory spanned many of the islands in the Lesser Antilles, with notable populations in Dominica, Saint Vincent, and Grenada. While they were widely recognized for their fierce resistance against European colonizers, their rich history and cultural achievements also played a significant role in shaping the Caribbean. 
  The early origins of the Caribs are a subject of ongoing research, but they are believed to have migrated from South America, possibly from the Orinoco River Basin in present-day Venezuela. Over time, they settled in various parts of the Caribbean, with their most prominent presence being on the islands of the Lesser Antilles. The Caribs are often distinguished from their neighbors, the Arawaks, due to their more aggressive and militaristic nature, a characteristic that would become critical in their dealings with the European powers who arrived on their shores. 
  Carib society was organized around a hierarchical structure with a chief, or ouin (sometimes known as karifuna), at the top, followed by warriors, farmers, and fishermen. Despite their reputation as fierce fighters, the Caribs were also skilled agriculturalists and fishermen. Their diet was rich in cassava, corn, fruits, and fish, which they caught using canoes made from hollowed trees. The Caribs' ability to navigate the seas using their advanced knowledge of the stars and ocean currents made them formidable maritime traders and warriors. They built large, ocean-going canoes capable of carrying multiple warriors, enabling them to wage successful raids across the Caribbean islands.
