JEDDAH: While browsing a European bookshop on my recent travels, I asked a staff member to recommend something deeply devastating to sink myself into as the rain tap-danced behind the closed door. Before she could even respond, my hand gravitated to a book cover that looked like it could play the part perfectly: Georgi Gospodinov’s “Death and the Gardener.” After reading the very first line, I knew I had made the right decision. It read: “My father was a gardener. Now he’s a garden.” “That’s a g

Bald eagles are a conservation success story, rebounding after DDT and other harmful chemicals, which drove them to near extinction, were banned. But today, eagles and other wildlife face a new threat: rat poisons. “Animal Collateral” reveals the truth about these poisons the chemical companies and their lobbyists don’t want you to hear, describing how SGARS—an especially deadly class of poison used in bait boxes found around homes, businesses, and communities—are killing owls, hawks, eagles, f
It has long seemed self-evident that women care for babies and men do other things. Hasn’t it always been so? But come the 21st century, increasing numbers of men are tending babies, sometimes right from birth. How can this be happening? Puzzled and dazzled by the tender expertise of new fathers around the world—several in her own family—celebrated evolutionary anthropologist and primatologist Sarah Blaffer Hrdy set out to trace the deep history of male nurturing and explain a surprising depar
