  From an artist and TikTok creator, a critical look at the controversial app and its effect on cultural heritage, artificial intelligence, community organizing, and digital censorship. In Revolutionary Algorithms, Torey Akers approaches TikTok with a deep understanding of the app, as both a prolific creator and consumer of its content. In these essays, she interrogates how the TikTok ban and the multiple genocides happening around the world are deeply intertwined; how the app can empower creators, amplify social movements, and document abuses of power. She addresses the good, bad, and sometimes uncanny parts of maneuvering and communicating in a digital space.  As a new era of social media looms, Akers makes the case for techno-progressivism, looking toward a future where TikTok continues to connect, inspire, and create space for more intersectionality, equity, and joy.

  In the summer of 2022, Lee Berger lost 50 pounds in order to wriggle though impossibly small openings in the Rising Star cave complex in South Africa—spaces where his team has been unearthing the remains of Homo naledi, a proto-human likely to have coexisted with Homo sapiens some 250,000 years ago. The lead researcher on the site, still Berger had never made his way into the dark, cramped, dangerous underground spaces where many of the naledi fossils had been found. Now he was ready to do so. Once inside the cave, Berger made shocking new discoveries that expand our understanding of this early hominid—discoveries that stand to alter our fundamental understanding of what makes us human. So what does it all mean? Join Berger on the adventure of a lifetime as he explores the Rising Star cave system and begins the complicated process of explaining these extraordinary finds—finds that force a rethinking of human evolution, and discoveries that Berger calls "the Rosetta stone of the human mind."

  Agrostology - Grasses of the...

  Agrostology, the scientific study of grasses, is a crucial field of botany that explores the diversity, structure, and ecological significance of grasses. Grasses belong to the Poaceae family, one of the largest and most economically important plant families in the world. These plants play a foundational role in ecosystems, agriculture, and human civilization. From the vast prairies and savannas to the rice and wheat fields that sustain billions of people, grasses shape the landscapes of both natural and human-altered environments. 
  The study of grasses has a long history, dating back to early agricultural societies that first domesticated cereal crops. The ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China relied on grasses such as wheat, barley, and rice to establish permanent settlements. Over time, the understanding of grass physiology, reproduction, and ecological functions deepened, leading to advancements in agronomy, ecology, and land management. By the 19th and 20th centuries, agrostology emerged as a specialized discipline within botany, focusing on grass classification, physiology, and ecosystem dynamics. 
  Grasses are uniquely adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions. They thrive in temperate, tropical, and even arid climates, displaying remarkable resilience through specialized growth mechanisms. Their ability to reproduce through both seeds and vegetative propagation allows them to colonize and dominate various habitats. Many grass species employ C4 photosynthesis, an efficient metabolic pathway that enables them to survive in hot, dry environments. This adaptability makes grasses a dominant plant group in many ecosystems, providing habitat and food for numerous animal species.
