Most people associate Britain and Ireland with the English language, a vast, sprawling linguistic tree with roots in Latin, French, and German. But the inhabitants of these islands originally spoke another tongue. Look closely enough and English contains traces of the Celtic soil from which it sprung, found in words like bog, loch, cairn, and crag. Today, this heritage can be found nowhere more powerfully than in modern-day Gaelic.

Perhaps the closest a human being comes to visiting another planet is to descend into the sea.

Wissenschaft kann trocken sein. Muss es aber nicht. In Method Meets Madness reden zwei Wissenschaftlerinnen über das, was wirklich zählt: Klimawandel, Bauphysik, Alltagsphänomene und alle Themen die uns und euch beschäftigen.

That man should have dominion “over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” is a prophecy that has hardened into fact. So pervasive are human impacts on the planet that it’s said we live in a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. The question we now face is: Can we change nature, this time in order to save it? Elizabeth Kolbert, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction, takes a hard look at the new world we are creating.
