    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Standing atop an outcrop in Wisconsin, Marcia Bjornerud thinks about time differently than a lot of people. She says we’re actually kind of a time illiterate society – most people don’t have a good sense of how extremely long the geologic chapters of earth’s history were. In her book, Timefulness: How Thinking Like a Geologist Can Help Save the World, Marcia points out the many challenges our planet has weathered, and that its long memory might hold the key to facing climate change today.

    The Don Quixote of Wisconsin (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In the hills of northwest Wisconsin, there’s a modern-day Don Quixote. But instead of a noble steed, he rides a creaky old side-by-side. Instead of a lance, a beloved old rifle. And instead of giants and windmills as his biggest foes: “The deer have pretty well trashed my dream.” Deer. Eating his wildflowers, chomping on his trees.

    No matter what Cheryl Steele did, she couldn’t stop the nightmares. She’d be in the middle of a storm on Lake Huron, clinging to a canoe. And three of her friends were with her. “One time I stayed up 26 hours because I was so afraid to go to sleep … and go through those nightmares again,” she said. In her dreams, Cheryl would be calling to her friends, thrashing. Sometimes she’d hit the wall next to her bed, and one time she even fell out. She’d wake up sweaty and shaky, her heart pounding. “I w

    Talking to a Brick Wall (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The day starts like this: twenty-five people gathered on a sidewalk in Chicago staring at a brick wall. They’re on a tour – a tour of brick. Will Quam, an architectural photographer, writer and researcher, is leading it. Will is obsessed with brick. And like any self-respecting person with an obsession, he shares it. He leads about 150 brick tours a year in Chicago through his organization Brick of Chicago. “It is that dare of, ‘You don't think this can be interesting? It is,’” said Will. Will’s
