via High Top Releasing Most of the time, you know exactly what you’re going to get from a horror movie revolving around cannibalism. In a similar vein, seeing Eli Roth’s name attached as director lets you know that you’ll need a strong stomach to make it through. Put the two together, and The Green Inferno delivers on both fronts. To his credit, though, the godfather of torture porn does at least try to inject some satire into the proceedings, even if he misses the mark by roughly a country mile. A bright-eyed…

This is your first translation of a Tamil work into English. What was the process like? It was joyful because, for over two decades, my touch with Tamil, after moving from Chennai, was minimal. I speak little Tamil — to friends or family — and watch Tamil movies sporadically, and read Tamil works infrequently today. Writing the book was a happy start though the process was quite demanding.

Scientists have long been in the dark about how deep-diving seals forage for their meals in pitch-black seas, and the answer may have been right under the animals’ nose all along: whiskers. With the help of a group of northern elephant seals in California’s Año Nuevo State Park, researchers have now seen this super specialized sensory system at work in the wild for the first time. By gluing tiny cameras, each about as big as a snack-size candy bar, to the seals’ left cheeks, researchers at the University of California,…

We are farming our planet to death. Half of the world’s habitable land has already been colonised to produce our food. Nature, the many millions of other species, is forced to survive in the polluted, overhunted, degraded fragments of what remains. Extinction rates are around 1,000 times the natural background rate, largely because wild land has been lost to agriculture or polluted by it, or because of conflict with farmers. In spite of it all, around 800 million people go hungry, with 150 million children under five…
