In 1979, a Harvard psychologist named Ellen Langer took eight men in their late 70s to a retreat house redecorated exactly like 1959 — old magazines, radio broadcasts, and furniture — and asked them to live as their younger selves for a week, and by the end their eyesight, hearing, memory, and grip strength had measurably improved

Очередной выпуск гонзо-научпопа из сердца Анд. Поговорим о сукцессии

Месяц назад мы переехали из старого дома с садом в высотку-новостройку. Настолько "ново-", что стройка (отделка квартир застройщиком) еще продолжается. С точки зрения локальной экологии это значит, что местная экосистема только формируется. Обычно термин "сукцессия" применяют к ситуациям восстановления после катастроф, в частности, лесных пожаров. Но его вполне легитимно приложить и к ситуации формирования экосистемы в новосозданном [антропогенном] ландшафте. Вот как в доме в целом и квартире в частности. И Read more ›

A single oil palm tree yields up to ten times more oil per hectare than soy or sunflower, which is why palm supplies over a third of global vegetable oil on less than a tenth of oil-crop land — and why its expansion into Sumatra and Borneo has become one of the hardest environmental tradeoffs on Earth.
