Two non-Ecuador things

The first thing is that two of my friends, Artemis and her brother Harold, have started on on-line field journal with their sketches called Field Notes.  Definitely worth having a look.

The second thing is to alert everyone to a New Yorker article by Jill Lepore titled, The Shorebird:  The right way to remember Rachel Carson starting on page 64 of the Mar 26, 2018 issue.  This New Yorker issue is also notable for its "the emperor has no clothes" cover of you-know-who.

The link above should work.  Many may not subscribe to the New Yorker, but this issue may be able to be found on a good newsstand (e.g. Barnes & Noble carries the New Yorker) for a couple more days.  If not there, then your local public library may be the next best resource.

Jill Lepore is a professor of American History at Harvard and her New Yorker articles are always spectacularly written.  The Shorebird ... is no exception.
