Heart of Darkness
Subir Sarkar
Is the standard model of cosmology wrong? Subir Sarkar argues that the discovery of dark energy, the basis of widely accepted models, was simply an accident waiting to happen.

The Nature of Art
Armand Marie Leroi
Can pieces of art be related in the way that biological species can? In living things, phylogenic links are forged by the inheritance of genetic material; in culture, by influential ideas.
