Squirrel Nation by Peter Coates review – glad to be grey | Science and nature books

Since the famous mid-20th century experiments on “operant conditioning” by BF Skinner, people have been tempted to describe modern humans as a “rats in cages”, forever pressing levers for tiny pellets of pleasure. Before that, however, the dominant metaphor involved a different rodent. In the 19th century, caged squirrels were popular pets, getting their exercise from running on wheels. “The tendency of the entire national energy,” John Ruskin wrote, “is to approximate more and more the state of a squirrel in a cage.”The…

Essay: Following the white squirrel

I am worried about the white baby squirrel; I haven’t seen her running around on my garden wall today. I saw her for the first time last week when she was digging her small teeth in a fruit that she might have extricated from the neighbours’ trash. It couldn’t have been from my bin because, as regular readers of my urban gardening adventure stories know, all organic waste from my house goes into a tightly closed compost bin. I was surprised to see a white squirrel, I’ve never seen or even heard of the existence of white…

Trying to summarize Danger and Other Unknown Risks is tricky. It’s truly one of those stories that has everything: Magic, time travel, Y2k, the apocalypse, a chosen hero. But to artist Erica Henderson and writer Ryan North, who joined Polygon on a recent Zoom call in anticipation of the graphic novel’s release, the most important thing might have been the dog. “Every time we came up with a story idea, you were like And also there’s a talking dog,” Henderson told North over video chat, when I asked about how the book…

During a Heat Wave, You Can Blast the AC, but What Does a Squirrel Do?

Ashleigh Papp: This is Scientific American’s 60-Second Science. I'm Ashleigh Papp. It's summertime in New York City–birds are chirping, insects are scurrying, and everything feels alive! While recent heat waves have pushed a lot of us indoors to the respite of air conditioning, the critters of this city were left to fend for themselves.  Sunny Corrao: Many would be surprised that they're going to be doing the same exact things that most humans are doing... they're not going to be pushing it, they're gonna be taking…

Squirrel with a Gun is the latest hilariously adorable indie game

Squirrel with a Gun is nuts (in the best way) One of the most fun things about following a bunch of game developers on Twitter is that you get to see the process of how some really cool indie games are made. That’s exactly what happened to me with Dan DeEntremont‘s upcoming project Squirrel with a Gun — and yes, that’s exactly what it sounds like. The first I saw of this awesome game was a viral tweet from back in May of this year, where he showed off the first time he got fur on the squirrel. The whole thing looks…

Americans & Scots Know “Squirrel Girl” Rhymes, They Just Disagree How

| Squirrel Girl was created by Will Murray and Steve Ditko for an American anthology comic book, before being picked up by Dan Slott for Great Lakes Avengers, made a nanny of Like Cage and Jessica Jones' daughter in Avengers, before spinning off her own title, graphic novels and fanbase. But until – well possibly today, depending – most English residents did not realise that her name is intended to rhyme. And not just her secret identity, Doreen Green, named after comic book store employee Doreen Greeley. But the actual…
