[Fuusm-l] Today's Issues Readings for August 12

[Ted Goertzel]

For this Sunday, August 12, 2018, the Today’s Issues group will discuss one
reading on “The Browning of America” in the sense of demographic change and
one on browning in the sense of wildfires.

The first reading, Ezra Klein, “White threat in a browning America: How
demographic change is fracturing our politics.” is available online from
Vox at
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/7/30/17505406/trump-obama-race-politics-immigration

It has some interesting color graphics.

The second article, William Finnegan, “California Burning,” is on page 29
of the August 16 Issue of the New York Review of Books.  You can read it
free on the NYR site at:
https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/08/16/wildfires-california-burning/

It is a review of three books: Wildfire: On the Front Lines with Station 8
by Heather Hansen

Firestorm: How Wildfire Will Shape Our Future by Edward Struzik

Burning Planet: The Story of Fire Through Time by Andrew C. Scott

I am not attaching a copy of the readings since both are freely available
online.  Reading online gets you color photos and graphics. However, if you
need a copy just email tedgoertzel at gmail.com
