Isabel Hilton, the journalist engaging China on climate change

May 18, 2021
Isabel Hilton is a Scottish-born journalist and founder of China Dialogue, a non-profit website that produces bilingual stories about the environment and climate change in China. She was made an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 2009 for “services to promoting environmental awareness in China.”
Hilton’s first exposure to China came as a teenager when, during a high school exchange year in Ohio, she challenged herself to learn Chinese. While that wasn’t very successful, she did manage to learn it upon returning to Scotland in order to matriculate in Chinese at the University of Edinburgh. She then lived in China for three years and studied at the Peking Languages Institute and at Fudan University in Shanghai. ....

The Dystopian Imagination: Why did the twentieth century produce so many works of fiction depicting not an ideal future but a future as terrible as could be imagined?

The Kosher Gourmet by Nick Malgieri: Chocolate molten delight with creme anglaise is a simple yet elegant make-ahead dessert
Why did the twentieth century produce so many and such vivid dystopias, works of fiction depicting not an ideal future but a future as terrible as could be imagined? After all, never had material progress been greater; never should man have felt himself freer of the anxieties that, with good reason, had beset him in the past. Famine had all but disappeared, except in civil wars or where regimes deliberately engineered it; and for the first time in history, the biblical span or longer was a reasonable hope for many. Medicine had conquered the dread infectious diseases that once cut swathes through entire populations. Not to enjoy luxuries that Louis XIV couldn t have imagined now was evidence of intolerable poverty. ....
