world’s newest country?
The world’s newest country? That could be the South Pacific’s Bougainville island group, whose 25,000 residents voted overwhelmingly last month for independence from Papua New Guinea. The volcanic islands and atolls are about half the size of Fiji. Lonely Planet tells you how to get there.

Human Population evolution
Human Population Through Time
Check out this week’s video blog! It took 200,000 years for our human population to reach 1 billion—and only 200 years to reach 7 billion. But growth has begun slowing, as women have fewer babies on average. When will our global population peak? And how can we minimize our impact on Earth’s resources, even as we approach 11 billion?

UN Charter
Today in
Lembro que ao ler a notÃcia no jornal - recém terminada a II guerra - enviei uma carta para um endereço das NU dizendo que gostaria de ter uma cópia, e recebi algum tempo depois um livretinho de capa azul com o documento que guardei por muito tempo. Tenho esperança ainda de encontrá-lo. Na época pensei até em seguir a carreira diplomática. Morando numa colônia alemã de 1939 a 1941 a guerra foi algo que mexeu sempre muito comigo.
| 1945: |  |  The Charter of the United Nations was signed in San Francisco. |
No dia 08 de maio de 1945, quando soube do fim oficial do conflito, gravei a data em números romanos no tronco de uma árvore no pátio de nossa casa em Santa Maria, na rua Venâncio Ayres. Tenho vontade de voltar lá e ver se a tal árvore com as marcas ainda existem (era um abacateiro em cuja casca é fácil escavar caracteres, mas que também desaparecem fácil).
Esta é a casa, mas não se vê árvore nenhuma ao fundo, o que me deixa pouca esperança de encontrar minha relÃquia...(As garagens do primeiro plano, também não existiam na época, havia somente um muro alto)

the Invention of Nature
Alexander von Humboldt and the Invention of Nature: How One of the Last True Polymaths Pioneered the Cosmos of Connections
“In this great chain of causes and effects, no single fact can be considered in isolation.”
BY MARIA POPOVA
No thinker has shaped our understanding of the astounding interconnectedness of the universe more profoundly than the great Prussian naturalist, explorer, and geographer Alexander von Humboldt (September 14, 1769–May 6, 1859), who pioneered the notion that the natural world is a web of intricately entwined elements, each in constant dynamic dialogue with every other — a concept a century ahead of its time. His legacy isn’t so much any single discovery — although he did discover the magnetic equator, invented isotherms, and came up with climate zones — as it is a mindset, a worldview, a singular sensemaking sublimity./.../
