Unyielding Floods - Peter Caton

Award-winning photographer, Peter Caton, has dedicated his career to reporting on humanitarian causes and amplifying the voices of disadvantaged people. He has lived on the road for 19 years, the last ten in Africa, where he has documented climate-related crises throughout the continent. In Unyielding Floods, he photographs villagers trying to protect their homes and livelihoods against the catastrophic floods in South Sudan which are still ongoing. Over four years, Peter returned to these historic floods that have refused to recede, capturing the struggles of the villagers, their resilience and their heartache. When the floods emerged in 2019, villagers became trapped by new water borders, unable to flee. Many villages were destroyed, creating massive displacement. Refugee camps also became cut off by water. The economic damage of this climate crisis has been enormous. Crops failed as livestock perished, increasing widespread famine. Today, there is still no sign of the water receding. Towns resemble an everlasting sea with the roofs of people''s homes protruding from the murky waters. The images that Peter has captured are a heartbreaking reality for the people of South Sudan, a heartbreaking reality that deserves greater public awareness.

Modularity and Dynamics on Complex Networks - Michael T. Schaub, Renaud Lambiotte

Complex networks are typically not homogeneous, as they tend to display an array of structures at different scales. A feature that has attracted a lot of research is their modular organisation, i.e., networks may often be considered as being composed of certain building blocks, or modules. In this Element, the authors discuss a number of ways in which this idea of modularity can be conceptualised, focusing specifically on the interplay between modular network structure and dynamics taking place on a network. They discuss, in particular, how modular structure and symmetries may impact on network dynamics and, vice versa, how observations of such dynamics may be used to infer the modular structure. They also revisit several other notions of modularity that have been proposed for complex networks and show how these can be related to and interpreted from the point of view of dynamical processes on networks.

On Consolation - Michael Ignatieff

''This erudite and heartfelt survey reminds us that the need for consolation is timeless, as are the inspiring words and examples of those who walked this path before us.'' - Toronto StarAs read on BBC Radio 4''s ''Book of the Week'', a timely, moving and profound exploration of how writers, composers and artists have searched for solace while facing loss, tragedy and crisis, from the historian and Booker Prize-shortlisted novelist Michael Ignatieff.When we lose someone we love, when we suffer loss or defeat, when catastrophe strikes – war, famine, pandemic – we go in search of consolation. Once the province of priests and philosophers, the language of consolation has largely vanished from our modern vocabulary, and the places where it was offered, houses of religion, are often empty. Rejecting the solace of ancient religious texts, humanity since the sixteenth century has increasingly placed its faith in science, ideology, and the therapeutic.How do we console each other and ourselves in an age of unbelief?

A key strategy for finding ourselves, then, is to first get lost.”—The New York Times Book ReviewAn ode to paths and the journeys we take through nature, as told by a gifted writer who stopped driving and rediscovered the joys of traveling by foot.Torbjørn Ekelund started to walk—everywhere—after an epilepsy diagnosis affected his ability to drive. The more he ventured out, the more he came to love the act of walking, and an interest in paths emerged. In this poignant, meandering book, Ekelund interweaves the literature and history of paths with his own stories from the trail. As he walks with shoes on and barefoot, through forest creeks and across urban streets, he contemplates the early tracks made by ancient snails and traces the wanderings of Romantic poets, amongst other musings. If we still “understand ourselves in relation to the landscape,” Ekelund asks, then what do we lose in an era of car travel and navigation apps? And what will we gain from taking to paths once again?“A charming read, celebrating the relationship between humans and their ... Unknown localization key: "more"
