For thousands of years, humans have been using the power of the wind to do useful work.

At first, the wind was just used for sailing ships, but eventually, the wind's power was harnessed for mundane tasks like milling grain and pumping water. 

Unlike many ancient energy sources, wind power is still used today, and it has become a major source of electrical generation.

Learn more about how humans conquered the wind and made it useful on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Most people are familiar with the ancient Egyptian civilization, which arose along the banks of the Nile River. 

However, the Egyptians were not the only major civilization that existed on the Nile. 

Just south of Egypt was a culture that was very similar yet very different, who was Egypt’s sometimes enemies, sometimes trade partners, sometime overlords, and sometimes subjects.

In this episode, we share two interviews on books that look at the ways in which food and family go hand in hand. First, NPR's Scott Simon talks to singer Linda Ronstadt about her memoir Feels Like Home, in which she writes about living by the Mexican-American border and how food brought her closer to those around her. Then, Scott Simon visits French chef Jaques Pepin at his house to talk about his book Art of the Chicken. Pepin tells Simon that cooking a good meal at home helps him hold on to the memory of his late wife. Both books feature recipes close to the writers' hearts.

In 1816, the world experienced something that it had never seen before. All over the Northern Hemisphere in Europe, Asia, and North America, summer never came.

…or at least it didn’t in any way which it did before. 

It caused chaos and misery all around the world. 

Learn more about 1816, the year without a summer, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Young adult author Emiko Jean is out with her first book for adults – Mika in Real Life. In this episode, we hear Jean in conversation with WBUR's Celeste Headlee about the book, in which a teen girl – Penny – tries to connect with her birth mother Mika. Jean says that just as Penny and Mika struggle to figure out who they are, much of the book mirrors the author's own identity struggle as a Japanese-American woman.

For thousands of years, humans knew that certain foods could treat certain ailments. However, why or how the foods did this was totally unknown. 

It wasn’t until the early 20th century that researchers discovered exactly what chemicals were in food that prevented and cured many diseases. 

Today, that knowledge has led to an entire industry dedicated to providing and supplementing nutrients. 

Learn more about vitamins, what they are, how they were discovered, and what happens if you lack them in your diet on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In this episode, WBUR's Robin Young talks with author Andrew Sean Greer about his new novel Less is Lost, the sequel to his Pulitzer Prize-winning Less. This time, Greer's protagonist Arthur Less takes a tour of America in a van, and in the process learns about what it means to be an author today. Less is disappointed by how things are going, but doesn't realize how good things actually are for him. Greer says that he almost didn't write a second book, but by satirizing the literary crowd, he saw the importance of critiquing himself.
