Kirkus’ Best Books of 2012

Last updated on: January 4, 2013 at 7:40 am By Erin Wyble Newcomb

The editors at Kirkus Reviews have created lists in multiple categories–children’s, adult fiction, adult nonfiction, teen, and indie–for the best books of 2012. I am particularly drawn to the list of 100 children’s books, and I’ve already requested several titles from our local library. As children’s editor and list-maker Vicky Smith notes, “But at the end of it all, having whittled the year’s output down, I am struck again at the astonishing talent and dedication of the creators and publishers...

The Moviegoer: 25 Memorable Moments from 2012 Moviegoing

Last updated on: January 3, 2013 at 10:31 pm By Nick Olson

Inspired by Aren of the Brothers Bergstrom film critic triumvirate, I’ve decided to share several of my favorite moments from the year in film. I’m going to try to avoid overlap with Aren’s list, but in a couple of cases, it’s simply unavoidable. I don’t plan to publish a personal favorites list until sometime between the new year and the Oscars; there’s just too many potentially important films that I’ve yet to see. Barbara, Zero Dark Thirty, Les Miserables, The... Read more

Overweight People Live Longer? The Enduring Challenge of Self-Esteem Problems

Last updated on: January 2, 2013 at 7:28 pm By Nick Rynerson

As you might have heard from every news source not talking about the fiscal cliff, a new study shows that people with higher BMI’s live longer. Oh boy. Where to begin? What a nice New Year’s headline for all of us discouraged, chubby Americans who are hopelessly insecure, temporarily motivated and caught in the constant battle between appetite/body chemistry/lack of gym hours and self-esteem. But what does it even mean, that “overweight people live longer?” Well, as The Atlantic points... Read more

Where are humanists when it hurts?

Last updated on: January 2, 2013 at 7:16 pm By Jason Morehead

Why Are Drivers Aiming for Turtles Crossing the Highway?

Last updated on: January 2, 2013 at 9:17 am By Erin Straza

News outlets are reporting the results of a recent research experiment by Clemson University student Nathan Weaver—and it reveals the not-so-sunny-side of human nature. Weaver was looking for ways to give turtles a safer passage across busy highways. He placed rubber turtles in the roadway and recorded how traffic responded. He found that 1 in 50 drivers aimed for the turtles—and ran them over. What began as concern for turtles has turned into human psychoanalysis. Weaver and others are now... Read more

The Best Children’s Books of 2012

Last updated on: January 1, 2013 at 8:14 pm By Erin Wyble Newcomb

Happy New Year! In keeping with the CAPC tradition of year-end lists of our favorite things, I’ve been reviewing my reading of the past year. 2012 provided an array of delightful picture books for children. I tried my best to narrow them down to a Top 5, but ended up with 6. In any case, I noticed as I was compiling my list that each of them can in some way be classified as a meta-narrative—a story about stories. Meta-narrative... Read more
