  In this 2023 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, New York Times contributor Margaret Renkl suggests that we make an “untidy” garden that will nurture our soul and the natural world. She encourages us to fall in love with the natural companions in our lives: the spiders, the hummingbirds, crickets, and raccoons, and all the other species who are living right beside us. When we fall in love with them, we can't help but want to save them. Renkl suggests stepping out of our small world of computer screens, smartphones and TVs to step into the larger natural world, which is everywhere, just outside our front door.   
  Margaret Renkl is the author of:Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss (Milkweed Editions 2019)Graceland, At Last: Notes on Hope and Heartache from the American South. (Milkweed Editions 2021)The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year (Spiegel and Grau 2023)

  Splinters of Infinity - Cosmic...

  Set in a revolutionary era of physics and science when a series of rapid-fire discoveries was upending our understanding of the universe, Splinters of Infinity by Mark Wolverton tells a little-known story: the tale of two of America's foremost physicists, Robert Millikan (1868–1953) and Arthur Compton (1892–1962), who found themselves locked in an intense, often deeply personal, conflict about cosmic rays. Confirmed in 1912, cosmic rays—enigmatic forms of penetrating radiation—seemed to raise all new questions about the origins of the universe, but they also offered the potential to explain everything—or reveal the existence of God. 
   
   
   
  In engaging, accessible prose, Wolverton takes the listener through the twists and turns of the Millikan-Compton debate, one of the first major public examples of how heated the controversies among scientists could become—and the lengths that scientists would go to settle their disputes. Along the way, Wolverton probes the forever elusive question, still unanswered today, about where cosmic rays come from and what they reveal about black holes, distant galaxies, the existence of dark matter and dark energy, and the birth of the universe, concluding that these splinters of infinity may not hold the keys to the secret of creation but do bring us ever closer to it.
