NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Climate Capitalism’ projects an optimistic future for environmental policy

Early in today's episode, Here & Now's Scott Tong poses what a lot of activists and listeners might think — that the two words titling Akshat Rathi's new book, Climate Capitalism, are at odds with one another. But Rathi says governments can play a role in shifting economic policy to prioritize both profit and environmental protections. In his book and in this interview, he explains how business leaders, students and politicians are already implementing ideas that connect the dots between the climate crisis and global markets.

Everything Everywhere Daily - How About Them Apples

One of the most popular fruits in the world is apples.

Apples are associated with the Garden of Eden, buttering up your teacher, and the story of Snow White. They play a role in Greek and Norse mythology, and they have lent their name to famous record and computer companies.

However, apples are unlike almost every other fruit in that there are thousands of different varieties. The reason why there are so many different varieties is because of the uniqueness of the plant.

Learn more about apples, where they came from, and how they have been used in history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Jet Propulsion

When humans first managed to harness heavier-than-air flight, they did so by using piston engines and propellers.

Several decades later, a more efficient means of propulsion was developed. It could make planes travel faster and higher and could use less fuel over longer distances.

In addition to transforming civilian and military aviation, new modes of it still have the potential to revolutionize the world once again.

Learn more about jet propulsion, how it works, and how it was developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Don Paterson and Michael Ondaatje’s new books meditate on poetry, time and memory

Today's episode features interviews with two poets whose new works look back in time, either in their own lives or those of their subjects. First, Don Paterson speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about his new memoir, Toy Fights, which recounts his childhood in Scotland. The two get to talking about Paterson's self-described "descent into madness" and the reason his poems go unmentioned in the book. Then, Simon speaks with Michael Ondaatje about A Year of Last Things, and how the Booker Prize-winning writer thinks about going back and forth between fiction and poetry.

He was one of the greatest thinkers of the ancient world. He was a philosopher, a mathematician, and had some unique views on diet and religion.

You probably know him best for the theorem which bears his name.

However, if you asked anyone 2,600 years ago, they might have known him for something else entirely.
