Chalk Issue 02 is here! Chalk is the UK’s only magazine that showcases the best new research from the arts and sciences without the academic jargon.
Issue 02 focuses on extinction, preservation, and endurance. In our cover story, Meaghan Wetherell investigates the afterlife of the oreodont, a prehistoric relative of the camel that lived in North America tens of millions of years ago, which had its taxonomy spoiled by bumbling Victorian scientists.
Elsewhere, Nina Cutler looks through the eyes of the honeybee at three speculative futures of farming, and Sophie Parkes-Nield reports on the changing nature, but enduring power, of folklore in England.
We also have articles on racism in Brazilian football, the steam heritage subculture, an interview with the staff of the National Videogame Museum in Sheffield, and (of course) a crossword.
For readers of Delayed Gratification, Translator, Sidetracked and Too Much, Macguffin and the much missed Works That Work.
