Just a few days ago the world seemed to be obsessed with hourly updates on the status of a deep-sea submersible vessel that we now know to have met a horrific fate not long after setting out to explore the wreck of The Titanic. While there’s still a lot of discussion around the company behind the disaster, they weren’t the only one offering tickets to these kinds of voyages into the deep, nor is tourism the only purpose humans have for visiting the ocean floor. In The Deepest Map: The High-Stakes Race to Chart the World's Oceans, ocean journalist Laura Trethewey brings readers into the worlds of all kinds of deep ocean exploration, spanning scientific inquiry, military strategy, resource extraction, and of course billionaire bragging rights. No doubt it’s a book that finds a much more receptive audience now than perhaps the author or publisher expected, as the public now wonders who’s going down there—and why?
The Splinter in the Sky, the debut novel by Kemi Ashing-Giwa, is being hailed by Publisher’s Weekly as, “a breathtaking space opera debut.” Enitan is a scribe and part-time entrepreneur who’d like to spend more time working on her tea business. But when her lover is assassinated and her sibling is abducted, she realizes that her careful and quiet life is subject to the aftershocks of a war between the Ominirish Republic and the Vaalbaran Empire—whether she wants to involved in these historical events or not. Enitan hatches a plan to exact revenge for the harm done to her loved ones through espionage in the hope that one day her homeland might be free.
Monday July 3 was the hottest day for global average temperatures on record. At this point, even voices who a few years ago denied climate change have shifted to arguing about causes—since the fact of warming has become completely undeniable. In Jeff Goodell’s The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet, readers learn what impact high temperatures are already having and how human activity remains a vital part of the equation, determining how hot it’ll get and what life will be like as temperatures climb—from food shortages to disease—but also how we can still avert annihilation.
