This week, host Daniel Raimi talks with New Yorker staff writer and Pulitzer Prize\u2013Winning author Elizabeth Kolbert about her new book, \u201cUnder a White Sky: The Nature of the Future.\u201d The book is a fascinating and darkly funny exploration of how humanity is trying to manage the negative effects we\u2019ve inflicted on the natural world. Using examples such as the Asian carp, endangered desert pupfish, the Great Barrier Reef, and solar geoengineering, Kolbert\u2019s book includes interviews with leading experts around the world who are using new technologies to try and counteract the harms done by old technologies.\n\nReferences and recommendations:\n\n\u201cBeloved Beasts\u201d by Michelle Nijhuis; https://michellenijhuis.com/beloved-beasts
