China now dominates global production of renewable energy technologies.
It makes 80% of the world’s solar cells, 70% of its wind turbines, and 70% of its lithium batteries, at prices no competitor can match.

Darwin’s publisher, John Murray, was usually quite generous about paying for maps, plates, and in-text images for D’s books, and D attended closely to his illustrations, so it’s surprising that the Origin featured only 1, a diagrammatic model of change through time.

That’s what a new discovery in the Arctic just revealed
and it’s rewriting how we think life recovers after mass extinctions.

Let's talk eels & colonization!
In the early 17th C. London was growing fast and needed more eels.The surrounding countryside couldn't provide enough.
The Dutch importers could...but the English were nervous of the strong Dutch monopoly.
