There’s so much to be said about — and to be gained from — the magic of nature, especially with spring upon us. So what happens when we lose the natural world’s most special places? This month’s cover story takes a look at the vanishing tidepools of California for answers. You’ll find a piece about the wonders of gardening after a long winter, and an illustrated feature on the life of a dairy cow.
It’s also a time for some more interior reflection, as we look at how to think about personal risk in a risky world, what it means to quit your government job now, and even the appeal of astrology. Plus, we answer all sorts of questions like: Why do we want to smell like food? And what religious divide helps explain politics in America today?
