    ‘To listen to Aretha Franklin now is to hear everything—everything that came before her, each strain of American blues and jazz and gospel and soul, all the musical traditions people leaned on to stay alive’

    Thanks to all you Twitterati, between us we've created an amazing 'Change the World' shelf for any bookshop. If anyone fancies typing up the list (200+ books), clustering them into broad categories and turning this into a quick blog with me - by Monday - let me know here asap...

    The owner of my favourite seaside second-hand bookshop wants to start a shelf called "Change the World". OK Twitter, what are your favourite seaside reads for transforming the 21st century?

    For everyone who ever (rightly) told me that "doughnut" is a ridiculous name and it should really be a life belt / life ring - seaside greetings!

    Brilliant piece. Don't simply blame human nature for the short-termism that has stopped us dealing with climate breakdown. Look instead to the greatest short-term ideology of them all: neoliberalism.
