Inventor and scientist Nikola Tesla believed in life on other planets. One night in his laboratory in the Colorado mountains, he began noting electronic signals that he deduced came from an intelligent life form on another planet. While over 100 years later we have still failed to prove the existence of alien life, Tesla’s short article provides a fascinating look at the possibility of interplanetary communication. To the visionary who invented wireless communication, sending a message to Mars was merely the logical next step.

As late as the 1960s, tacos were virtually unknown outside Mexico and the American Southwest. Within fifty years the United States had shipped taco shells everywhere from Alaska to Australia, Morocco to Mongolia. But how did this tasty hand-held food - and Mexican food more broadly - become so ubiquitous? In Planet Taco, Jeffrey Pilcher traces the historical origins and evolution of Mexico's national cuisine, explores its incarnation as a Mexican American fast-food, shows how surfers became global pioneers of Mexican food, and how Corona beer conquered the world.

Neither an advocate nor a critic of cultured meat, Benjamin Aldes Wurgaft spent five years researching the phenomenon. In Meat Planet, he reveals how debates about lab-grown meat reach beyond debates about food, examining the links between appetite, growth, and capitalism.

Carl Nightingale takes listeners on a sweeping six-continent, six-millennium tour of the world’s cities, culminating in the last 250 years, when we vastly accelerated our planetary realms of action, habitat, and impact, courting dangerous new consequences and opening prospects for new hope.

La crise sanitaire de la COVID-19 n’est qu’une des plus récentes illustrations du fait que l’humanité ne se porte pas bien. Que la planète elle-même ne va pas bien. Et malgré le grave trauma planétaire que la pandémie a causé, à l’heure actuelle, l’humanité ne possède pas les outils pour ne pas que cela se reproduise. Forcément donc, cela se reproduira. La COVID-19, tout comme les crises climatiques, de la bio-diversité, de l’eau, de la résistance aux antimicrobiens, des océans, de la génétique, de la pollution ou encore de la menace nucléaire nous démontrent, ...
