Available for over a year

This week, Helen picks a book she's enjoyed recently. Jason Roberts' book from this year, Every Living Thing, details Carl Linnaeus and Du Buffon's attempts at taxonomy. The naming conventions of various parts of our world have informed so much of our lives. From what we call different animals and plants, to how relatively arbitrary classification of human races may have helped justify the slave trade. Join Helen and Armando over the summer for more cultural recommendations, available weekly on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds.
