Silo has an excellent premise, which Apple TV has summed up quite well: “ Silo is the story of the last 10,000 people on earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside. So it was a delightful surprise when this first trailer for the show suddenly appeared, and it’s even more delightful that the post-apocalyptic mystery series looks great. It’s been so long since we’ve heard anything about Apple TV+’s adaptation of Hugh Howey’s incredibly popular Silo series that I had forgotten it was still happening. ![]() ![]() ![]() A great stocking stuffer for busy women this holiday season (or any time.)

It rather belies the motto of “Land of the Free” on many occasions. Those are certainly covered, but Gonick’s history is resolutely social as well, meaning much is presented as change forced upon an entrenched establishment. He scores by ensuring this isn’t just another text book presentation of political triumph. ![]() Creator Larry Gonick would be the first to concede this isn’t an exhaustive work, but he packs an immense amount of information into slightly under four hundred pages.

We’ve created this problem, and now we decide we’re just going to continue to let it happen, and that’s the answer?”Īnd yet she was miles ahead of most leaders in her conservative community. ![]() When I told Janine about an idea hatched at an opioid brainstorming session in Boston-to segregate users on a boat in international waters, where they could legally inject under medical supervision, ideally then transitioning to counseling and MAT-she was repulsed. ![]() ![]() Harm reduction remained slow to catch on in most of the Bible Belt, including Roanoke. ![]() ![]() ![]() Because of its worth, salt has provoked and financed some wars, and been a strategic element in others, such as the American Revolution and the Civil War. Demand for salt established the earliest trade routes, across unknown oceans and the remotest of deserts: the city of Jericho was founded almost 10,000 years ago as a salt trading center. Salt has often been considered so valuable that it served as currency, and it is still exchanged as such in places today. Until about 100 years ago, when modern chemistry and geology revealed how prevalent it is, salt was one of the most sought-after commodities, and no wonder, for without it humans and animals could not live. ![]() Its story is a glittering, often surprising part of the history of mankind. However, as Mark Kurlansky so brilliantly relates in his world-encompassing new book, saltthe only rock we eathas shaped civilization from the very beginning. Today we take salt for granted, a common, inexpensive substance that seasons food or clears ice from roads, a word used casually in expressions ("salt of the earth," take it with a grain of salt") without appreciating their deeper meaning.
