When the world falls apart, who do we become?

Through shard-like glimpses of everyday life, LANDFALL offers a prismatic portrait of collective trauma and resistance in post-Hurricane María Puerto Rico.

Here’s the February 19 Earth Matters, by Michael Dover. He was drawn to delve into the evolution of dogs and was surprised and fascinated by what he learned.
