Violence against Black people—both physical and psychological—has seemed only to increase in recent years, culminating in the historic pandemic and protests in the summer of 2020. “After centuries of waiting for white majorities to overturn white supremacy,” Charles Blow writes, “ it seems to me that it has fallen to Black people to do it themselves.” A New York Times op-ed columnist, Blow felt compelled to write a new story for Black Americans, one that involves a succinct, counterintuitive and impassioned correction to the myths that have for too long governed our thinking about race and geography in America. The Devil You Know is a grand exhortation to generations of a people, proposing nothing short of the most audacious power play by Black people in the history of this country. Join us as Charles Blow offers a road map to true and lasting freedom. NOTES Part of our Good Lit series, underwritten by The Bernard Osher Foundation. Photo by Beowulf Sheehan.

Charles Clover discusses his latest book "Rewilding the Sea: How to Save Our Oceans", an essential and revelatory book from one of the leading figures in marine conservation, urging us to rethink our relationship with nature, save our oceans and save our own life support system. The world’s oceans have never faced more challenges—from ruthless overfishing, plastic pollution and acidification. And if that wasn’t enough, overfishing is accelerating climate change. The latest scientific research shows that trawling and dredging creates more CO2 than the aviation industry, and damages vast areas of our continental shelves, stopping them soaking up carbon. But change is achievable, and change is happening. "Rewilding the Sea" celebrates what happens when fishermen and communities engage with each other and allow nature to repair the damage. Charles Clover is a co-founder of Blue Marine Foundation, an impactful and influential marine conservation charity. Charles made his name as an author and environmental journalist writing principally for The Sunday Times and the Daily Telegraph for which he was environment editor for twenty-two years. His book The End of The Line (Ebury, 2004) and the award-winning major documentary film of the same name (presented by Clover) highlighted overfishing as a global problem and inspired the foundation of Blue Marine Foundation. For more information on Blue Marine Foundation, please visit https://www.bluemarinefoundation.com/. Get the book here: https://goo.gle/3oC7nQ1. Moderated by Matt Bongiovi.

David Montgomery and Anne Bikl̩ РYou Are What Your Food Ate

Building on their highly influential “Dirt Trilogy” (Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations; The Hidden Half of Nature; and Growing A Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life), geologist

Building on their highly influential “Dirt Trilogy” (Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations; The Hidden Half of Nature; and Growing A Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life), geologist David Montgomery and biologist Anne Biklé preview their forthcoming book, "You Are What Your Food Ate." They share the growing body of scientific evidence underlying how soil health dramatically affects the health of crops and animals, and ultimately human bodies. The intimate connections between the life of the soil and the nutritional quality of food points to the profound importance of farming practices that can imbue the human diet with the nutrients and compounds that underpin health, or rob us of them. They discuss how a growing vanguard of farmers pioneering regenerative practices is proving that farming practices that are good for the land are good for us too.

This talk was delivered at the 2021 Bioneers Conference.
