A harrowing history of a grim chapter in politics and science, in which groups of influential thinkers shaped global policy with the aim of determining who had the right to have children—and who was worthy of life. The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read. For the last two centuries, groups of influential men have, in the professed interest of fiscal responsibility, crime reduction, and outright racism, attempted to control who was allowed to bear children. Their efforts, “eugenics,” characterize a movement that over the last century swept across the world—from the US to Brazil, Japan, India, Australia, and beyond—in the form of marriage restrictions, asylum detention, and sterilization campaigns affected millions. German physicians and scientists adopted and then heightened these eugenics practices beginning in 1939, starving or executing those they deemed “life unworthy of life.” But well after the liberation of Nazi deathcamps, health care workers and even the US government pursued policies worldwide with the express purpose of limiting the reproduction of poor non-whites. The Shortest History of Eugenics takes us back to the founding principles of the movement, revealing how an idea that began in cattle breeding took such an insidious turn—and how it lingers in rhetoric and policy today.

A harrowing chronicle by two leading historians, capturing in real time the events of a year marked by multiple devastations. When we look back at the year 2020, how can we describe what really happened? In A Deeper Sickness, award-winning historians Margaret Peacock and Erik Peterson set out to preserve what they call the “focused confusion,” and to probe deeper into what they consider the Four Pandemics that converged around the 12 astonishing months of 2020: • Disease • Disinformation • Poverty • Violence Drs. Peacock and Peterson use their interdisciplinary expertise to extend their analysis beyond the viral science, and instead into the social, political, and historical dimensions of this crisis. They consulted with dozens of experts and witnesses from a wide range of fields—from leading epidemiologists and health care workers to leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement, district attorneys, political scientists, philosophers, and more. Their journey revealed a sick country that believed it was well, a violent nation that believed it was peaceful; one that mistook poverty for prosperity and accountability for rebellion. Organized into the journal-entries along with dozens of archival images, A Deeper Sickness will help readers sift through the chaos and misinformation that characterized those frantic days. It is both an unflinching indictment of a nation that is still reeling and a testament to the power of human resilience and collective memory. Readers can share their story and become a contributing author by visiting an interactive digital museum, where the authors have preserved dozens of more stories and interviews.

Army cutworm moths (Euxoa auxiliaris) migrate to high elevation Rocky Mountain talus slopes from July to September to escape arid conditions in low elevation areas. While residing in the Rockies, the moths forage at night on alpine wildflowers, metabolizing the nectar into fat, thereby changing their body composition to approximately 70% lipids (and 25% protein). During daylight periods, army cutworm moths aggregate in prodigious quantities within subsurface talus slopes. In mountain ranges of Wyoming and Montana, the moths'' summer migration overlaps occupied grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) range. Army cutworm moths are one of the most nourishing food resources available to mountain dwelling grizzlies. Their aggregations attract grizzlies to dig up moths from talus by the thousands each day across summer months.In Glacier National Park, Montana, grizzly bear foraging for army cutworm moths within alpine talus slopes remains poorly understood. To better understand the distribution of army cutworm moth aggregations and grizzly bear foraging at these congregations, we implemented systematic ground surveys to record moth presence-absence and aerial surveys to record grizzly bear foraging presence. We used the resulting data to develop 1) generalized linear models of army cutworm moth probability of occurrence and 2) relative suitability distribution models of grizzly bear moth foraging areas. Our results indicate environmental predictors of army cutworm moth occurrence and grizzly bear foraging overlap considerably. We found army cutworm moth occurrence is influenced by elevation, geological characteristics of talus slopes, terrain wetness, and photosynthetic activity. Further, we determined grizzly bear foraging for moths is primarily predicted by moth occurrence and slope, with terrain wetness also contributing. Grizzly bear-army cutworm moth interactions occur throughout Glacier''s alpine, particularly within the park''s highest massifs, which are centers of activity for this remarkable predator-prey association. While widespread, these areas comprise less than 0.3% of the park''s total land area. This research enhances our understanding of grizzly bear use of this nourishing food resource in Glacier and provides useful information to managers for conserving these habitats in the future, amid growing pressure from off trail recreators and changing climatic conditions.

Seven authors retell their favorite fairy tales as science fiction adaptations. Adventuring to the far reaches of space and the not too distant future these tales explore what would happen if the tales we''ve always known were to have taken place in a futuristic setting.

As scientists debated the nature of life in the nineteenth century, two theories predominated: vitalism, which suggested that living things contained a "vital spark," and mechanism, the idea that animals and humans differed from nonliving things only in their degree of complexity. Erik Peterson tells the forgotten story of the pursuit of a Third Way in biology, known by many names, including "the organic philosophy," which gave rise to C. H. Waddington''s work in the subfield of epigenetics: an alternative to standard genetics and evolutionary biology that captured the attention of notable scientists from Francis Crick to Stephen Jay Gould. The Life Organic chronicles the influential biologists, mathematicians, philosophers, and biochemists from both sides of the Atlantic who formed Joseph Needham''s Theoretical Biology Club, defined and refined Third-Way thinking through the 1930s, and laid the groundwork for some of the most cutting-edge achievements in biology today. By tracing the persistence of organicism into the twenty-first century, this book also raises significant questions about how we should model the development of the discipline of biology going forward.

Over the years and through the centuries there have been hundreds of retellings and adaptations of fairy tales. There are multiple versions of the same tale, some recorded by the same author or authors. Why are there so many versions, with similarities and disparities? In "Once Upon a Time, A Bit Earlier" the Evil Queen''s Magic Mirror sets a plan in motion that disrupts the natural order of the fairy tales as we know them. Through manipulation of time and magic, the stories as we know them shift and change. In "Once Upon a Time, A Bit Earlier" readers journey alongside our heroines and heroes as they seek to overcome his plot, and along the way, perhaps find answers to the greatest mysteries in all of fairy tales: Why do these sorceresses so desperately want these little girls dead? What is the ultimate destiny of these princesses? Can evil truly be overcome once and for all?
