Inspirational Motivational of the Day: Arthur Boorman, a paratrooper in the Gulf War, made so many jumps that he blew out his back and knees.

The Holocene encompasses the rise of humanity since the last ice age.

This tour of our glowing transportation and communication networks shows the majesty—and horror—of how mankind has altered the planet.
