  Skylab: The History and Legacy...

  During the Space Race, many people envisioned a future in which space travel would be a common undertaking for ordinary citizens. Just as riding in an airplane was once a daring endeavor, travel by rocket could be refined and made safer over time. That collective aspiration to someday take part in dreams NASA brought to life was integral to inspiring public interest in the space program. However, in the years following Apollo 11 in 1969, popular enthusiasm for space travel waned, and dreams of vacationing like the Jetsons gave way to more grounded goals. The level of interest NASA enjoyed would never again be comparable to the culturally defining moments of the agency’s most celebrated missions during the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Programs.  
  	Nonetheless, in 1972 and 1973, NASA sent nine astronauts to spend extended periods of time living in a craft named Skylab, the very first experimental American space station. Though Skylab would not last long, and the International Space Station remains far more famous, Skylab’s history is one of ingenuity and challenge, as well as how NASA found itself without a mission after the triumph of the Apollo Program.

  The Shocking Truth about Public...

  Public health policies are often framed as measures designed to protect the population, improve well-being, and prevent disease. Governments, health agencies, and media outlets present these policies as the result of careful scientific research, public interest, and expert consensus. However, beneath the surface, public health is not just about science—it is deeply entangled with politics, economics, and power structures that influence decisions more than most people realize.  
    
  Many assume that public health guidelines are purely based on the best available data, but the reality is far more complex. Policies are frequently shaped by corporate interests, lobbying efforts, and political agendas rather than unbiased scientific evidence. Pharmaceutical companies, food conglomerates, and other industries wield significant influence over the very institutions meant to regulate them. This raises critical questions: Are these policies truly designed for the benefit of the people, or are they tools for financial and political gain?  
    
  The illusion of safety plays a crucial role in how these policies are accepted by the public. Fear-based messaging, emotional appeals, and selective use of data are commonly employed to justify drastic measures. The COVID-19 pandemic provided a stark example of this phenomenon—governments around the world enforced lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and surveillance measures, all under the banner of public health. Those who questioned the effectiveness or necessity of these policies were often silenced, labeled as spreading misinformation, or even punished. This suppression of dissent not only limits individual freedom but also prevents legitimate scientific debate from taking place.

  When Sylvain Tesson left the colorful yellow houses of the French Riveria for a ski trek across the Alps with his friend Daniel du Lac, a high-altitude mountain guide, he didn't know what exactly would await him. Over the course of four years, from 2018 to 2021, they ascended high into the Alps in winter, following the curve of the mountains from the Mediterranean to the Adriatic, entering into a white world entirely of snow, bitterly cold, and overlooked by an empty sky; only the effort of moving forward, one stride at a time, separated the days from one another. He thought he was venturing into beauty but he was immersing himself in a substance. In the white of the high Alps all is canceled out—hopes, fears, memories, and regrets. What did he stand to gain by inflicting this ordeal on himself? This was no ordinary mountain trek: it was communion with a substance. Perhaps his longtime dream of transforming travel into prayer would come true at last.

  Wild American Ginseng - Lessons...

  Wild American ginseng, America's most famous medicinal plant, is in trouble. In plain prose, James McGraw explains why as he translates the latest in ecological and conservation science findings on this unassuming understory herb. As the world's foremost authority on wild ginseng, McGraw is uniquely poised to present this story based on more than twenty years of uninterrupted field research. 
   
   
   
  McGraw traces the dramatic ecological history of ginseng in North America, documenting the ginseng-centric view of a world increasingly dominated by both direct and indirect actions of humans. Far more than a story of a single plant species, ginseng becomes a parable, a canary in a coal mine, for what is happening to our dwindling wild species across the globe. Documenting lingchi (death by a thousand cuts) in human interactions with wild species, McGraw shows us the evidence of our slowly eroding biodiversity and our diminishing global biotreasury. 
   
   
   
  Beyond merely documenting our destruction of nature, McGraw also offers a pathway to an optimistic future for ginseng and the wild species with whom we share the planet. He illuminates how a dramatic expansion of our commitment to sharing the planet with our fellow planetary companions is the key to preservation; and now is the time to do so.
