This article is part of the Eastwood series.
Eduardo never sees it coming. I push me knees into Howser with all my strength and he lets out a sort of oof sound as he bounce off of me and into Eduardo's knees. I'm up, the sock and camera battery in my hand.
I drop a boot on the gun Howser is holding and swing the battery straight into Eduardo's jaw. It smashes clean across his face, his jaw wobbling and throwing teeth as it comes apart. I let go of the sock and let it follow him to the ground.
"Traitor," I shout at Eduardo as he drops.
I yank Howser to his feet and press the barrel of the gun to his head.
There are a hundred rifles pointed at me. Now I've got everyone's attention. I force Howser to the podium.
"Tell them the truth," I gasp. "Who killed the President, you fuck?"
"With a gun to my head-"
I punch him in the side.
"The truth," I lean on him, "unless you're feeling really lucky and you think one of those Marine sharpshooters can take me down before I pull the trigger. Are you feeling lucky?"
"Eduardo Velasquez," he spits into the microphone, "he shot down the plane."
"You," he says, "you paid off the-"
I punch him again and he grunts.
"Last warning."
"Rollins orders," he pants, "on Rollins orders and&"
I push the barrel of the gun into the back of his head.
"and me, alright?" He shrieks. "Me, you motherfucker. I did it and I did it for California. For the people suffering in the-"
I shove him off the stage and send a wad of spit chasing after him. The cameras whir and click and flash.
There it is motherfuckers. There is your Big Stunt. There is your season finale.
I spread my arms, inviting the snipers to do their work. The crowd roars its approval.
"Alright man," Klint shouts, "that was fucking awesome."
He holds his hand up for a high five. I give it to him weakly and lean against the podium. The crowd is chanting Killer! Killer! Killer! The media are shouting questions at me.
"Your name," some woman in the front row of the press pit shouts. "What's your name?"
"My name," I glance sidelong at Klint, "is Eastwood."
Smash to black.
Roll credits. Maybe with some music by the Stones.
it's hard to shake the feeling that I've always got five stars in this Grand Theft Auto known as life.
Now, inexplicably, season three is looming over us like some sort of dome. Season one's plot asked whether or not the town could get out from under the dome. Apparently the answer was "no". Season two asked "I guess we're really stuck, huh?" and the answer was "yup".

Report: Five top agents pushing for union to decertify
Sep 14, 2011, 1:29 AM EDT
A couple months back, agents were pushing to blow up the players union. A group of agents met with players' union executive director Billy Hunter and urged him to take the aggressive approach of decertifying the union (what the NFL union did right at the start of their negotiations). That followed by and anti-trust lawsuit by several players was seen by the agents and leverage the union needed.
Hunter and union president Derek Fisher didn't want to go with the "nuclear option." They instead filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board charging the owners with not negotiating in good faith (there has yet to be a ruling).
Today, after weeks of meetings where the owners had not budged on demands for a hard salary cap, five prominent agents spoke about pushing again for decertification — even with out Hunter's approval — reports Chris Broussard at ESPN.
The agents' view is that the owners currently have most, if not all, of the leverage in these talks and that something needs to be done to turn the tide. They believe decertification will do the trick, creating uncertainty and wresting control away from the owners.
"The union has been negotiating with the league for a year and a half and the owners haven't changed their stance, so the conversation the agents had was about how to work with the union to enhance its strategy," a person close to the situation said on condition of anonymity. "The feeling is that decertification is the weapon that has to be pulled out of the arsenal, that it's the most effective way to change the dynamics of the negotiations."
Hunter, even Tuesday after a rough negotiating session, said Tuesday that the union leadership is not considering decertification. Not yet anyway.
But the agents could force the issue, Broussard notes. Combined they represent about 30 percent of NBA players, Broussard notes. If 30 percent of the union membership signed a petition to decertify, it would force a vote of the entire union membership. A simple majority in that vote and the union would be decertified, it would no longer exist. Several players would then file anti-trust lawsuits against the league.
Pushing things into the courts would be a wild card, but it is also a slow process. The owners don't want to leave things up to the court — which is why they filed a pre-emptive suit trying to block decertification. Still, this could slow the entire pace of talks down, and they are not exactly moving quickly so far.
The fact remains that even if the union decertifies this thing is going to be hammered out at the negotiation table. The courts don't want to make the call and wouldn't for years most likely. The union might have better leverage, but a season could be lost as well. It's a tough spot for the players.
The owners are going to win these negotiations. The only questions are how much the players will give up and when they will give it up? Decertification is not likely to change any of that.

Eating the Child Within
Paperback: $14.99
Ships in 3-5 business days
A dark collection of poetry based on sixteen classic children's fairy tales, reworked into adult stories of desire, violence, lust, and betrayal. "Come under these wings and listen, to voices... More > that sing from our bones. The young ravens full of innocence as they tear at Prometheus' gut. Memory's shrouded in stories, a birthright that swaddles our view. A three-headed dog in ecstasy laps his master's handful of dust. Childhood's woven from fictions, a history changed into stone. A snake writhes in joy in a garden, devours the child within. Come under this cloak of protection, myths of our past made anew, heroes that murder in kindness, beasts that step out of their skins. Come into these woods and listen, our primal emotions transformed, those old gods into new royalty, our fears into slippers and wolves."< Less

- Chris Broussard, NBA analyst
I hate to say this because I like Mike D'Antoni. He's a nice, personable guy who, as he proved with the Phoenix Suns, can be a very successful NBA coach given the right personnel.
But with the Los Angeles Lakers, he doesn't have the right personnel. He has great personnel -- the best center in the league, one of the best power forwards in the league, an all-time great shooting guard and a terrific, albeit older, playmaking point guard -- but it's personnel that fits neither his coaching philosophy nor his coaching strategy.
It has been a disaster from day one, or maybe we should say night one, when a bum fax machine stalled contract negotiations between D'Antoni and the Lakers in November. Regardless of the lineup -- whether Steve Nash has played or not, whether Dwight Howard has played or not, whether Pau Gasol has played or not -- D'Antoni and these Lakers have been a terrible fit.

eyeSight launches world's first fingertip gesture control software
Works via a device's standard camera
Software available to manufacturers now, consumer devices likely to emerge before end of the year
Israel and The US - Israeli company eyeSight Technologies today announces the world's first commercial gesture technology to allow users to control digital devices with a fingertip, even from across a room. With eyeSight's camera-based 'fingertip tracking' users can, for the first time, move a cursor simply by pointing their finger directly at the screen, for the ultimate intuitive user experience.
The technology developed by eyeSight's team could revolutionise an almost limitless range of devices, including:
Televisions - Browse complex menus of Smart TVs with no remote to lose
Personal computers - Control films, music and even games on your computer, laptop or ultrabook from the comfort of your bed. eyeSight's technology is even compatible with Windows 8.
Window displays / Digital signs - Enjoy a whole new level of interactive advertising: Browse products and special offers from up to 5m away
The success of any gesture system will be dictated by how 'natural' it feels," commented Gideon Shmuel, CEO of eyeSight. "Just as Apple made control via touchscreens feel completely natural a few years ago, we're hoping to do the same thing with gesture: Our fingertip tracking makes gesture feel so intuitive that eventually people will use it without even thinking about it. Now we're hoping to make this capability available in consumer devices produced by our customers."
eyeSight is the first company to realise the impressive technical feat of fingertip tracking at a range of 70cm-5 meters (2ft-16ft) . The system is designed to be easy to integrate into almost any digital device with a camera, (such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, televisions, digital signs, etc.). It works with standard cameras, and can recognize which individuals in a crowded room to 'track'.
About eyeSight Technology
eyeSight was established with the vision of revolutionising the way people interact with digital devices, to create an interaction that is both simple and intuitive.
eyeSight is a leader in touch-free Interfaces for digital devices. The company is led by a highly experienced team of Image Processing professionals with extensive experience in research, implementation, and optimisation of real time algorithms for embedded platforms. eyeSight's technology is used by Lenovo, Hisense, Pantech, AMD and more.
eyeSight is a privately held company headquartered in Israel.
eyeSight has photos of its fingertip tracking technology, as well as videos and other media available on an exclusive basis, and is happy to discuss its technology, potential applications, and where gesture might be going in the near future. For a chance to speak to eyeSight contact [email protected]
eyeSight has a number of original use case videos, which demonstrate the broad capabilities of its technologies. Individuals are welcome to embed these videos on their websites, or contact eyesight for the original files.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Latest MESSENGER Stories
MESSENGER scientists have concluded that waves driven by the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability play a key role in driving Mercury's magnetosphere.
Larry Nittler, a staff scientist in the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, has been named deputy principal investigator of the MESSENGER mission.
This week, MESSENGER's Mercury Dual Imaging System delivered the 100,000th image of Mercury since the spacecraft entered into orbit around the planet on March 18, 2011.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) recently approved a proposal from the MESSENGER Science Team to assign 23 new names to impact craters on Mercury.
Facebook recently updated its Android app with a 1.9 version that adds messaging and camera features to the mobile software. The udate is available on Google Play, and automatically updates users who already have the app installed. Initial user reviews are positive.
The MESSENGER mission successfully completed the first of two maneuvers designed to reduce the spacecraft's orbital period about Mercury. This new trajectory will pave the way for more detailed measurements and targeted observations of the Sun's closest neighbor.
Thursday night, images from MESSENGER's Mercury Dual Imaging System made their debut on the CBS sitcom, "The Big Bang Theory."

The Planet Mercury -- in astronomy, nearest planet to the sun, at a mean distance of 36 million mi (58 million km); its period of revolution is 88 days. Mercury passes through phases similar to those of the moon as it completes each revolution about the sun, although the visible disk varies in size with respect to its distance from the earth. Because its greatest elongation is 28, it is seen only for a short time after sunset or before sunrise. Since observation of Mercury is...

CJ: A lot of people will tell you a story of how they were first introduced to photography by a family member giving them some crappy polaroid or their uncle had an old SLR. For me none of that happened. Photography was born to me out of necessity. I first got into making photographs by wanting to document my friends riding BMX. From this came the need to get out of college and find something that didn't suck to do for a living. I got on at the school's newspaper as a photojournalist and that is where I started to develop my love for documentary photography.

The Atlantic looks at a group effort in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, to reverse the standard industrial farming model, where both money and product tend to leave the area. The goal is to keep more money in local communities.
The first seeds of this effort were planted around 2005 and 2006 when a handful of longtime farmers formed a group to think through the future of farming in southwest Iowa. Denise O'Brien, owner of Rolling Acres Farm, was among them. (She grows fruits and vegetables on her farm, with 10 acres currently in production.) "We brought everyone together to talk about how much money was going out of our area," she remembers. "What if that money stayed?"
Part of the strategy to keep money in-state was to shift the type of farming that southwest Iowans engaged in from large industrialized farms to smaller operations that grew food that local people could eat. From this initial series of meetings was born the Southwest Iowa Food and Farm Initiative. The group has grown to a roster of more than 50 farmers, O'Brien says, with a smattering of local food-policy councils.
Known as SWIFFI, the group does both education and outreach. It has helped traditional farmers develop their business savvy through workshops and coaching. The nonprofit has set up local farmers' markets and CSAs ("community-supported agriculture" networks) throughout its corner of the state to connect residents to local farmers. For a while, it even identified and mentored aspiring farmers, and trained roughly 50 young people in farming with the hope that they'd remain in rural Iowa.
The Guardian has a fairly depressing piece on landlording trailer parks for fun and profit. Spoiler: It's mostly about the profit, often at the expense of the mostly poor, mostly rural residents. The story describes a mobile home buying boot camp in Orlando, where attendees learn the ins and outs of park ownership.
A new joint study says the United States needs to pay more attention to rural immigrant populations. Immigrants are helping some rural areas buck the trend of population loss. But rural areas don't always have the services that are critical for helping immigrants succeed and improve local economies.
Citing traditional immigration gateways like New York City, San Diego, Miami and Chicago, the sociologists observe in an essay published online at Scholars Strategy Network: Population growth in the 2000s is occurring "in many parts of rural America from Alabama to Nebraska [where] growing numbers of Hispanics provide a demographic lifeline to dying small towns."
But too many rural communities are not prepared – or inclined – to offer critical support services to non-English-speaking, undocumented mothers, the authors say.
Scholars and policymakers have ignored immigrant poverty outside metropolitan areas, the authors tell Strategy Network readers: "Addressing the very real needs of these communities and their burgeoning numbers of poor Hispanic residents is vital for America's future."
The debate over whether to label genetically modified organisms comes down to one simple issue: In market economies, consumers should get the information they want, not the information that producers think they ought to have.
CT Senate Democrats Proponents of a federal GMO labeling law say it would standardize requirements. Opponents say it would take away local control and put consumers in the dark.
Laws requiring the labeling of foods produced from genetically modified crops have been adopted by Vermont and Connecticut and a referendum in Oregon was narrowly defeated. The regulations for the Vermont law have now been released. At present, the Vermont legislation is being challenged in court.
At its February meeting the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) came out in favor of national regulation of GMOs rather than a patchwork of state laws that may impose different sets of requirements on producers and processors of GMO crops. In its February 10, 2015 Policy Statements, NASDA says it should "coordinate and lead work with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), FDA (Food and Drug Administration), and USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), to prevent an inconsistent patchwork of county/municipal regulations/ordinances that would prohibit, restrict or otherwise regulate plant and/or animal biotechnology." Such a policy would preempt local and state laws and regulation with federal legislation and regulation.
In addition, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack has said that "It's not going to work to have 50 different state standards." He believes that such labels would suggest that the foods produced with GMOs are in some way unsafe.
Representative Mike Pompeo of Kansas has introduced The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015 (SAFLA). According to Pompeo, the legislation "would establish a federal labeling standard for foods with genetically modified ingredients, giving sole authority to the Food and Drug Administration to require mandatory labeling on such foods if they are ever found to be unsafe or materially different from foods produced without GM ingredients"
As he writes, "Under SAFLA, the FDA will conduct a safety review of all new plant varieties used for genetically engineered food before those foods are introduced into commerce. This will ensure that consumers are getting scientific, accurate, and relevant information by allowing the FDA to specify special labeling if it believes it is necessary to protect health and safety. In order to provide even greater transparency, my legislation includes a provision to allow those who wish to label their products as GMO-free to do so through a USDA-accredited certification process."
A century after the publication of Liberty Hyde Bailey's The Holy Earth, the book continues to inform our discussions about humans' place in nature and our responsibilities to each other.
Author Liberty Hyde Bailey
Rarely does the rural world encounter the likes of Liberty Hyde Bailey, Cornell University's "Man for All Seasons" who graced us with his presence in the first part of the 20th century.
During the Progressive Era, Bailey stood out as an advocate for rural areas as chair of Theodore Roosevelt's Country Life Commission. He is noted for his work as a horticulturist, botanist and co-founder of the American Society for Horticultural Science. As if these legacies were not enough, Bailey became an enduring pillar of the ongoing conservation-environmental-sustainability struggle because of his reverence for the Earth.
Bailey was named dean of Cornell's College of Agriculture in 1903. He was largely responsible for legislation to establish the State College of Agriculture at Ithaca in 1904. He retired in 1913 at age 55, part of his goal of spending 25 years gaining an education, 25 years working in his profession, and 25 years just doing what he wanted to do.
Perhaps his first accomplishment after retirement was publication of The Holy Earth, which is not only a reaction to environmental despoliation caused by industrialization, but a continuation of his early conservation writings — The Nature-Study Idea, 1903, and The Outlook to Nature, 1905.
A century after its publication, The Holy Earth remains an affirmation of Bailey's deeply held belief that human use of the earth is conditioned on a divinely inspired stewardship that not only considers future generations of people, but denies humans an inalienable right to intentionally harm our fellow creatures. His thinking underpinned what Norwegian philosopher Arne Næss would call "deep ecology" in the early 1970s.
As a conservationist, Bailey (March 15, 1858 – December 25, 1954) struggles with the deepest division of the conservation movement: use versus preservation. As a highly educated scientist, he understands the biology of life, its evolution on Earth, and the place of humans in the middle of the schema, not at the top. As a progressive agriculturalist who is highly critical of practices that abuse the Earth, he is an impassioned believer in the ability of humans, especially farmers, to progress into new ways of farming that work with the land, not against it. As a deeply religious person, he believes that humans, created by God, can become far more caring and perfect in their dealings with the land and its creatures.
To bridge the digital divide, federal programs have focused on building out broadband to rural areas that don't have connections. A new study says we should shift some of that focus to getting people to use the connections that are already available.
Figure 1. Broadband-related funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Broadband Technology Opportunity Program (BTOP) portion.
The "digital divide" - the gap in household broadband adoption between rural and urban areas – is an important topic fur rural America. We have written before that the gap has actually widened over time for the rural elderly and poor. We have also shown that high broadband adoption rates are associated with economic growth in rural counties. But, what policies should be put in place to help address this gap?
The current federal policy prescription is to subsidize infrastructure (i.e., provide fiber / cable lines or wireless service to underserved areas). In fact, of the $7.2 billion made available for broadband funding during the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), over 90% was focused on providing infrastructure. Other programs, like Community Connect grants through USDA, also focus almost explicitly on infrastructure.
However, our new study suggests that although this "supply-side" focus is still important, significantly more attention (and funding) should be given to encouraging broadband adoption in rural areas – particularly in places that already have existing infrastructure.
We first used Current Population Survey (CPS) data to document that the urban-rural broadband adoption gap was 13 percentage points in 2003 versus 12 percentage points in 2011. In other words, the gap remained almost unchanged even though there was a significant increase in household broadband adoption rates in both urban and rural households between 2003 and 2011.
Figure 2. Household broadband adoption rates by metro / non-metro status, 2003 and 2011. The gap between metropolitan and rural areas changed little over the eight-year period.
The population survey also asked why residents didn't use broadband. Interestingly, "No need" was the #1 response for rural households in both years (with rates over 40%), whereas "not available" represented less than 5% of the responses in 2011. Note also that the "no need" response has increased over time while the "not available" response has decreased. This gives some preliminary evidence that it is the demand for broadband (and not supply) that is driving the gap. However, the National Broadband Map also tells us that rural areas have lower levels of infrastructure available to them – and this may still be contributing to the gap.

Generations of musicians and activists around the country knew Guy Carawan as a man who connected people, songs, and causes. Musician Rich Kirby remembers Guy's role as a link between music and activism.
Photo via Magnum Guy Carawan and others singing 'We Shall Overcome' at Virginia State University in 1960.
I first met Guy Carawan in the parking lot of Gabe's Motor Inn in Owensboro, Kentucky. It was 1967; the state and the coal industry were holding a meeting to congratulate themselves on how well Kentucky's new strip mine law was working.
Around 250 mountain people had made the 300-mile trip from eastern Kentucky to say that strip mining was destroying their land and their homes, but they hadn't been let into the meeting. Guy was sitting in the middle of the crowd playing his banjo and singing. As I recall, the song was "Stripping on the mountain, flooding in the valley," and everyone was singing along.
That was pretty typical for Guy. A superlative musician, he could and did give concerts and make records, generally with his wife Candie. But he was more at home singing on a picket line or in a civil rights rally or in someone's living room, usually someone who lived in a community that was being exploited and was fighting back. Guy had a way of finding such people and of connecting them with others.
If you know one thing about Guy Carawan, it is probably that he was the person who brought "We Shall Overcome" to the Civil Rights Movement and to the world. He didn't write the song, but he was a critical link in the chain—learning the song, making a few important changes, and teaching it to people.
He lived his life being a critical link in a lot of chains, connecting people to songs, songs to people, people to people, across the Deep South in the Civil Rights Movement and later in the Appalachian coalfields.
He not only sang with people, he recorded them on a bulky Ampex reel-to-reel machine which he lugged to a lot of improbable places. The recordings you may have heard of hundreds of people singing at civil rights rallies were probably Guy's, as are our recordings of ballad singer May Justus, storytelling moonshiner Hamper McBee, coal miner George Tucker, and the folks at Moving Star Hall in John's Island, South Carolina, who inspired Guy's iconic song "Ain't You Got a Right to the Tree of Life."
So Guy's trip to Owensboro was part of a life's work. Much of that work involved meeting people and connecting them to each other. He invited me to stay with him and Candie where they lived on Marrowbone Creek in Pike County, and a few days later I was sharing a bed with baby Evan and meeting Edith and Jake Easterling, Jink Ray and others who were fighting for justice in their coalfield home.
Guy brought a lot of "outsiders" like me into communities where we could listen and learn. He also brought a lot of people from small, usually rural, communities into a wider circle where they could act as teachers. I have a prized memory of Head Start teachers in the little mountain town of Dungannon, Virginia, delightedly learning Georgia Sea Island children's games from Bessie Jones. It was part of a tour Guy had set up, another link in a chain. As Sparky Rucker put it, "Guy was a mentor, the sort of mentor who would lead you to other mentors."
Representatives of seed libraries in nine different countries gathered in Tucson last week to share ideas and inspiration for improving local access to diverse seeds. Climate change, biodiversity, food justice, and culture were just some of the topics for first International Seed Library Forum.

Last week, Tucson was the site of the first International Seed Library Forum, co-sponsored by the Pima County Public Library, the University of Arizona, Native Seeds/SEARCH, Edible Baja, and the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.
This four-day event brought together experts and practitioners to look at improving access to local seed resources. Attendees included seed librarians from across the country, as well as participants from nine different countries. Themes in the conference included promising practices for seed libraries, food justice, cultural seed stories, educational opportunities, seed policy, and plans. The conference also included a seed swap, a screening of the film "Seeds of Time," a tamalada celebration of maize diversity, and a field trip to the Native Seeds/SEARCH conservation center.
An important and broad-reaching topic of discussion was climate change and the role agricultural diversity and seed saving play in a world in which the climate is changing rapidly. Cary Fowler, agricultural pioneer and former executive director of the Global Crop Diversity Trust, spoke about this, saying "My big concern is about climate change…Agricultural crops are going to exist in historically unprecedented combinations of circumstances." While in the past, we adapted the circumstances for crops we wanted to grow, through things like irrigation and pesticides, in the future, we will have to adapt the plants themselves, which can only happen through diversity. This will depend on having diverse varieties available. This diversity might come from seed banks, like the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway that Fowler started, as well as from small local seed libraries like those being celebrated at this event. Fowler urged us all to consider conserving heirloom varieties and work on developing tomorrow's heirlooms.

It is important, especially for people with eczema, to protect themselves from such microscopic bugs and filth, researchers note in an article in the latest issue of the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. Cockroach allergens are particles of faeces, saliva and other matter found on the bodies of these insects. In the study, the researchers disrupted the skin barrier function of a group of volunteers by repeatedly sticking cellophane tape on a part of their forearm and then stripping it off. They were then exposed to roach allergens and dust mites. Delays skin repair These particles were later found to have triggered a receptor in the skin, known as PAR-2, which delayed the skin repair process. "The skin barrier function is already damaged in eczema patients and it has to repair itself. But allergens like dust mite and cockroach allergens will delay the repair function," said Jeong Se Kyoo, senior researcher at Neopharm Co. Ltd. "Then more allergens will penetrate the skin, it's a vicious cycle," he said in a telephone interview. Eczema is a chronic skin condition characterised by dry patches of very itchy skin. The most common form, atopic dermatitis, affects between 10 and 20 percent of the world's population at some point during childhood. – (Reuters Health) Read more: Skin Centre February 2008 Read Health24's Comments Policy Comment on this story 0 comments Add your comment Thank you, your comment has been submitted.

What happens when Mother Nature goes to extremes? You get violent and deadly weather in the form of heat waves, droughts, nor'easters, tsunamis, and other natural calamities. They're all here in Extreme Weather – an issue kids will love for its graphic attention to the worst weather our planet can produce. First up: a look at global warming and how it's changing the climate at alarming rates, which creates even more extreme weather. For kids who want to know more about the hot side of things, details on how heat waves develop will prove popular, and anyone awed by water's destructive force will be glued to descriptions of floods and monsoons – and their flip side, droughts – which have killed millions throughout history.
Storm fanatics will thrill to explanations of how hurricanes form – and how they differ from cyclones and typhoons – and enjoy reading up on lightning, which zaps our planet 100 times every second. Then they can read up on tornadoes, which strike the U.S. about 1,000 times per year, and dip their toes into record cold weather, such as the frigid English summer of 1916 (caused by volcanic ash in the atmosphere), which kept a teenage Mary Shelley stuck in her house, where she wrote the classic novel Frankenstein. Extreme weather, for kids, definitely gets its due here.
