The Earth Transformed: An Untold History – Reviewed in the Atlantic

In his sweeping new book, Peter Frankopan looks at how the climate has changed human society—and how we have changed the climate.
Does climate change directly influence the weather we experience?

Anacapa Island – Will Adler

Santa Barbara-based photographer Will Adler has an eye for creating beautiful sharp, yet disorienting images.

Adler’s collections of photos push us back and forth, in and out of reality, all with a sly wink of humor that keeps you grinning.
