A photo on Masih's Facebook page: a woman standing proudly, face bare, hair blowing in the wind. Her crime: removing her veil, or hijab, which is compulsory for women in Iran. This is the self-portrait that sparked "My Stealthy Freedom", a social media campaign that went viral. But Masih is so much more than the arresting face that sparked a campaign inspiring women to find their voices. She's also a world-class journalist whose personal story, told in her unforgettably bold and spirited voice, is emotional and inspiring.

El hombre es un puente que une lo animal con lo divino, y la conciencia de esta dualidad de la naturaleza es lo que nos hace humanos.

Ritual is one of the oldest, and certainly most enigmatic, threads in the history of human culture. It presents a profound paradox: people ascribe the utmost importance to their rituals, but few can explain why they are so important. Apparently pointless ceremonies pervade every documented society, from handshakes to hexes, hazings to parades. Before we ever learned to farm, we were gathering in giant stone temples to perform elaborate rites and ceremonies. Dimitris Xygalatas leads us on an enlightening tour through this shadowy realm of human behavior.

By initiating elder-leaders, establishing epiphanal communities, fasting from the media, and mapping the topography of our inner experience we can reclaim the sacred and reconceive a different future.

We've all asked ourselves the question. It's impossible to look up at the stars and NOT think about it: Are we alone in the universe? Books, movies, and television shows proliferate that attempt to answer this question and explore it. In Out There, Space.com senior writer Dr. Michael Wall treats that question as merely the beginning, touching off a wild ride of exploration into the final frontier. He considers, for instance, the myriad of questions that would arise once we do discover life beyond Earth (an eventuality which, top NASA officials told Wall, is only drawing closer).

“You know what people really need? Somebody who will listen hard and then find a way to tell them, ‘It’s not all your fault. It’s going to work out fine. Don’t give up.’” So advice columnist ‘Dear Lily’ Brown deeply believes. But Lily could write a letter to herself, asking what to do about an ex-husband who still wants her dating advice, how to redecorate the family home she’s kept exactly the same since her parents died tragically young, how to move on with her strangely becalmed life...and what to do when your wild-child estranged sister storms back into town.

Empty Planet is an adventure story ...Cars sit in the road, abandoned; the hedge has grown several meters taller. Weeds, long grasses and small shrubs grow where the road should be. The whole neighbourhood stands derelict and you are alone. A pack of dogs catch your scent. They growl and race towards you. You run back into your house and slam the door… it falls off its hinges. You look around, heart pounding, knees shaking, flinching at the slightest noise. Damp, mouldy wallpaper peels off the wall, the curtain rail falls onto the rotten floorboards. Your furniture is covered by ceiling ...

It is not easy to be certain of the precise origin and meaning of the saying in which my theme is stated. The dictionaries take it as essentially synonymous with "It comes in the course of business," Kipling apparently uses it, in his well-known book, as the title of a collection of stories, to show the very varied things that may come in the course of the day to different kinds of men. I am using the saying, myself, in what I suppose is practically its dictionary meaning, as giving a point of view from which one may well think of the work of his life — a point of view that aims not to ...
