  • The Man Who Elevated Landscape to Art - Metropolis
    On Brazillian landscape architect and artist Roberto Brule Marx, who designed the Copa Cabana beach in Rio, among other things. Known in particular for large ground murals.
  • How Arrow-Wielding Men Mapped Britain in the 1940s - Atlas Obscura
    On a recently-discovered archive of photos of people marking "revision points" for the British ordnance map, using large wooden arrows to point to the specific landmarks. Weird and interesting.
  • Welcome To 'The City Of The Dead,' The Giant Egyptian Neighborhood Built Into A Graveyard | HuffPost
    Short article, with good photos, of Cairo's "City of the Dead" slum.
  • How the Kidnapping and Murder of Ashlynn Mike Changed Our Country's Amber Alert Protocols
    On the kidnapping and murder of 11-year-old Ashlynn Mike in Shiprock New Mexico. Focuses on how questions of jurisdiction and coordination between agencies delayed the issuing of an amber alert, possibly making it less likely that she would be found.
  • Kay Boyle Knew Everyone and Saw It All | Humanities
    Capsule biography and critical appraisal of the writer Kay Boyle, who was part of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s and 30s (though she rejected this label). Well-known and regarded by both ears and critics, she has mostly fallen off the map now.
