In Beslan, a city in the Russian Republic of North Ossetia, militants seized a school and took 1,200 hostages in 2004. In the end, 331 people died, and nearly 800 others were injured. Given the horrific violence and the fact that the hostage-takers were ethnic foes, observers expected a violent backlash along ethnic lines. But violent retribution was minimal, and victims largely responded with peaceful activism.

Nate and Zach Huey are identical, 15-year-old twins, who, like most twins, are somewhat dissimilar. But the twins but have much in common. Both like Japanese comic books called Manga.

That finding, believed to be the first confirmation of this reproductive explosion, helps to explain the staggering scope of the current pine-beetle epidemic. Because of the extra annual generation of beetles, there could be up to 60 times as many beetles attacking trees in any given year, their study found.

Before the 20th century, the tropics were widely feared as home to dread diseases such as yellow fever and malaria. Building the Panama Canal helped change that view, but the brighter perception didn鈥檛 fully match the grittier truth.

In West Africa, climate change is reported to have pushed men to migrate north to Europe, by boat, in search of work. In Nepal, logging has prompted some subsistence-farming women to migrate toward more-abundant firewood.

Via the mass media, experts and non-experts offer radically different perspectives, yielding unreasonable confusion and doubt, CU researcher contends

Thomas Andrews has a knack for framing American history unconventionally.
