Story
It was the most radical human-breeding experiment in American history, and no one knew how it turned out. The Repository for Germinal Choice, nicknamed the Nobel Prize sperm bank, opened to notorious fanfare in 1980, and for two decades, women flocked to it from all over the country to choose a sperm donor from its roster of Nobel-laureate scientists, mathematical prodigies, successful businessmen, and star athletes.

Story
Before the 18th century, every single nutmeg in the world originated around a group of small volcanic islands east of Java, known as the Banda Islands. As the nutmeg made its way across the known world, they became immensely valuable—in 16th century Europe, just a handful could buy a house. It was not long before European traders became conquerors, and the indigenous Bandanese communities—and the islands themselves—would pay a high price for access to this precious commodity. Yet the bloody fate of the Banda Islands forewarns of a threat to our present day.

Story
The Heartbeat of Trees highlights the special bond humans share with nature and how it must be preserved. This book marks a powerful return to the forest, where trees have heartbeats and roots are like brains that extend underground, where the color green calms us and the forest sharpens our senses. In The Heartbeat of Trees, renowned forester Peter Wohlleben draws on new scientific discoveries to show how humans are deeply connected to the natural world.

Story
Air pollution kills more than a million Indians every year, albeit silently. Families are thrown into a spiraling cycle of hospital visits, critically poor health, and financial trouble impacting their productivity and ability to participate in the economy. Children born in regions of high air pollution are shown to have irreversibly reduced lung function and cognitive abilities that affects their incomes for years to come. They all suffer, silently. The issue is exacerbated every winter, when the great smog of India descends and envelops much of Northern India.

Story
Haben Sie das Gefühl, die Welt sei aus den Fugen geraten? Sie sind nicht allein - die meisten Menschen haben in den letzten Jahren einen Realitätsschock erlitten: Unser Bild der Welt hat sich oft als kollektive Illusion entpuppt. Wer hätte damit gerechnet, dass Trump die Wahl gewinnt und die Briten für den Brexit stimmen? Dass Hunderttausende nach Europa flüchten und dabei Zehntausende sterben? Dass so viele Demokratien nach rechts kippen? Dass der Klimawandel so schnell spürbar wird und über Nacht eine weltweite Klima-Jugendbewegung entsteht.
