  The Dakota Access Pipeline...

  The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests were a defining moment in the intersection of environmental advocacy and Indigenous rights. Proposed to transport crude oil from the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota to Illinois, the pipeline’s route crossed sacred lands and the Missouri River, threatening water supplies and cultural heritage. While its proponents touted economic benefits and energy security, the project drew fierce resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and their allies, sparking a global movement.  
    
  At its core, the DAPL protests highlighted long-standing issues of environmental justice and the marginalization of Indigenous peoples in America. For centuries, Native American communities have faced the erosion of their sovereignty and disregard for their land rights. The pipeline’s route through unceded treaty lands underscored systemic failures to honor agreements and protect sacred sites. Moreover, it served as a stark reminder of the broader environmental challenges tied to fossil fuel dependence and its impact on climate change.  
    
  The Standing Rock protests grew into a powerful grassroots campaign that united activists, environmentalists, and Indigenous groups from around the world. The movement’s significance lay not only in its immediate objectives—stopping the pipeline—but also in its ability to bring visibility to Indigenous struggles and inspire global solidarity. Social media played an instrumental role in amplifying the protests, creating a platform for underrepresented voices and rallying international support.

  Our linear ways of thinking about, organizing and planning our cities do not meet the true nature of cities as complex and messy systems. There are no simple solutions to the challenges we face: many citizens don't feel they belong; we don't agree on how to best move around; many don't have jobs or homes they can afford; we make running businesses hard work; we are facing challenges with the climate crisis and a pandemic. At a time when understanding the relationship between our physical, economic and social habitats is essential, Sanders sets forth an approach to work with the disruptions of our times. 
  Drawing on her expertise as a city planner and a relationship-broker in the conflicts that surface in city life, Sanders offer strategies to explore how cities, public institutions, community organizations and the business community can work together to improve our cities. She explores the evolutionary nature of our relationship with cities, and how the tension we experience in city life compels each of us to work to improve and regenerate our cities. 
  Nest City articulates the importance of having a sense of direction, being willing as citizens and cities to learn along the way, and accepting the uncertainty and messiness of cities as opportunities to make cities that serve cities well. Nest City will forever alter the way to look at your city, your local public institutions, community organizations or businesses--and how you think about and contribute to your city.

  Bond—James Bond. In the 80s and 90s, the debonair superspy's games failed to live up to the giddy thrills of his films. That all changed when British studio Rare unleashed GoldenEye 007 in 1997. In basements and college dorms across the world, friends bumped shoulders while shooting, knifing, exploding, and slapping each other's digital faces in the Nintendo 64 game that would redefine the modern first-person shooter genre and become the most badass party game of its generation. 
   
   
    
  But GoldenEye's success was far from a sure thing. For years of development, GoldenEye's team of rookie developers were shooting in the dark with no sense of what the N64 or its controller would be like, and the game's relentless violence horrified higher-ups at squeaky clean Nintendo. As development lagged far behind the debut of the tie-in film GoldenEye, the game nearly came out an entire Bond movie too late. 
   
   
    
  Through extensive interviews with GoldenEye's creators, writer and scholar Alyse Knorr traces the story of how this unlikely licensed game reinvigorated a franchise and a genre. Learn all the stories behind how this iconic title was developed, and why GoldenEye 007 has continued to kick the living daylights out of every other Bond game since.
