  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.

  Saving Ourselves - From Climate...

  We've known for decades that climate change is an existential crisis. For just as long, we've seen the complete failure of our institutions to rise to the challenge. Fossil fuel interests maintain a stranglehold on political and economic power. Even though we have seen growing concern from everyday people, civil society has succeeded only in pressuring decision makers to adopt watered-down policies. Is there any hope of achieving the systemic change we need? 
   
   
   
  Dana R. Fisher argues that there is a realistic path forward for climate action—but only through mass mobilization that responds to the growing severity and frequency of disastrous events. She assesses the current state of affairs and shows why public policy and private-sector efforts have been ineffective. Spurred by this lack of progress, climate activism has become increasingly confrontational. Fisher examines the radical flank of the climate movement: its emergence and growth, its use of direct action, and how it might evolve as the climate crisis worsens. She considers when and how activism is most successful, identifying the importance of creating community, capitalizing on shocking moments, and cultivating resilience. Clear-eyed yet optimistic, Saving Ourselves offers timely insights on how social movements can take power back and open windows of opportunity for transformative climate action.

  Agriculture - Innovative...

  Agriculture stands at the heart of human civilization, sustaining populations, economies, and ecosystems around the globe. As the primary source of food and materials for countless industries, agriculture is fundamental to our daily lives. Yet, as demand for food and resources grows, traditional farming practices have come under scrutiny for their impact on land, water, and ecosystems. This situation has sparked a profound exploration into how agriculture can evolve to meet future needs without compromising environmental health or resource availability. 
  In response to these challenges, sustainable agriculture has emerged as a guiding framework. Rather than depleting resources, sustainable agriculture seeks to work in harmony with nature, fostering productive systems that can endure and even improve over time. Key principles include conserving soil health, managing water resources responsibly, reducing reliance on chemical inputs, and promoting biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture not only aims to enhance the resilience of farming systems but also to address some of the long-standing issues in conventional agriculture, from soil degradation to pest resistance. 
  Advancements in technology and innovative farming practices play an essential role in this shift. Techniques such as precision farming, vertical agriculture, and renewable energy integration are now helping farmers produce more with less environmental impact. By adopting these methods, we can begin to build a resilient food system capable of withstanding fluctuations in demand and environmental pressures.
