Heavy rainfall over the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, and the eastern Pacific Ocean predicts 100°F (38°C) temperatures in California's Central Valley within 4 to 16 days. This finding comes from a collaborative research team at UC Davis and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Climate Center in Busan, South Korea.

Researchers, including UC Davis professor Richard Grotjahn, linked these heat waves to the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), a large, traveling atmospheric circulation pattern. For more information, visit: UCTV.

Richard J. Nevle and Steven Nightingale's *The Paradise Notebooks* journeys through the spectacular Sierra Nevada. Blending incandescent poetry and fascinating facts, the book explores the range's natural history and mystical wonder, from granite to rare butterflies. The authors portray the Sierra Nevada as both earthly and transcendental, emphasizing nature's profound spiritual and physical importance.

Join Richard, Steven, and Tom Fleischner for a webinar on the book and the Sierra Nevada's beauty. Amidst environmental degradation, they advocate for "whole-minded, loving attention to place" as a path to rekindle our connection with the living world. This event is part of the Natural History Institute’s "Stories of Nature and Culture" series, exploring diverse human-nature intersections.

Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett's *The Spirit Level* demonstrated how less equal societies perform

Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett's *The Spirit Level* demonstrated how less equal societies perform worse across various social measures, including health, education, and wellbeing. This work significantly heightened public awareness of inequality's impacts.

Their subsequent book, *The Inner Level*, argues that societies built on fundamental equality, sharing, and reciprocity foster greater wellbeing. It contrasts these with societies driven by excessive individualism and aggression, offering new perspectives on how we should organize our collective lives.
