  • The Mother's Day Protest and Other Fictocritical Essays

    by Stephen Muecke ...
    Series series Place, Memory, Affect

  • Carbon

    A Biography

    by Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent, Sacha Loeve ...

Ranging across ten million different compounds, carbon has as many personas in nature as it has roles in human life on earth. And yet it rarely makes the headlines as anything other than the villain of our fossil-based economy, feeding an addiction which is driving ... Read more

  • Another Science is Possible

    A Manifesto for Slow Science

    by Isabelle Stengers ...
    Translated by Stephen Muecke ...
    Like fast food, fast science is quickly prepared, not particularly good, and it clogs up the system. Efforts to tackle our most pressing issues have been stymied by conflict within the scientific community and mixed messages symptomatic of a rushed approach. What is more, scientific research is being shaped by the bubbles and crashes associated with economic speculation and the market. A focus on ... Read more

It was an experience which made him realize the ... Read more
