Walk into a used bookshop and you will encounter the unique aroma of aging books.
The smell is loved by some, disliked by others, but where does it come from? Chemists at University College, London have investigated the old book odor and concluded that old books release hundreds of volatile organic compounds into the air from the paper. The lead scientist described the smell as “A combination of grassy notes with a tang of acids and a hint of vanilla over an underlying mustiness.”Chemicals are found in the wood pulp that makes paper, and also in the ink for text and illustrations. From a chemist’s point of view, the biggest reason for a book’s decay is acidity — and paper with too much acidity is common in books printed in the 19th and 20th centuries, hence their rapid deterioration and the smell. Books printed by the earliest printers have survived for 500 years because the purity of their paper. The best way to store your books is in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.

Joel Salatin writes in his website that he is “in the redemption business: healing the land, healing the food, healing the economy, and healing the culture.”
If you visited his farm, you’d know he means it & lives it!
He produces beef, chicken, eggs, turkey, rabbits, and forestry product. Yet, Joel calls himself a grass-farmer, for it is the grass that transform the sun into energy that his animals can then feed on. By closely observing nature, Joel created a rotational grazing system that not only allows the land to heal but also allows the animals to behave the way the were meant to — as in expressing their “chicken-ness” or “pig-ness”, as Joel would say.
Joel has been featured in many publications and television programs. I first encountered him in an op-ed piece he did for Acres USA newsletter. “Everything I want to do is illegal” changed my mind about food and where it comes from.
You can see more of Joel and his farming model in Fresh the movie

“Puppets always have to try to be alive,” says Adrian Kohler of the Handspring Puppet Company, a gloriously ambitious troupe of human and wooden actors.
Beginning with the tale of a hyena’s subtle paw, puppeteers Kohler and Basil Jones build to the story of their latest astonishment: the wonderfully life-like Joey, the War Horse, who trots (and gallops) convincingly onto the TED stage. War horse is a Broadway musical playing at Lincoln Center Theater.
