News of the tragedy fascinated people around the world. Most were unaware such a place still existed in our time: an island unmolested by the advances of modern technology.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Twenty years before the American missionary’s ill-fated visit, a young American historian and journalist named Adam Goodheart also traveled to the waters off North Sentinel. During his time in the Andaman Islands he witnessed another isolated tribe emerge into modernity for the first time.<br> <br> <br> <br> Now, Goodheart has returned to the Andamans with his new book The Last Island. It tells the stories of others drawn to North Sentinel’s mystery through the centuries, from imperial adventurers to an eccentric Victorian photographer to modern-day anthropologists. <br> <br> <br> <br> It narrates the tragic stories of other Andaman tribes’ encounters with the outside world. And it shows how the web of modernity is drawing ever closer to the island’s shores.<br> <br> <br> <br> Adam Goodheart is a historian, travel writer, essayist, and author of the New York Times bestseller 1861: The Civil War Awakening.<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Last-Island-Adam-Goodheart/dp/1567926827?asin=B08CY75XGM&revisionId=b0e2f6ef&format=2&depth=1">Read an Excerpt</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Jennifer Jewell, AS WE SOW<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Ever since the evolution of seed-bearing plants some 350 million years ago, most life on this planet has depended, directly or indirectly, on them. But seeds and seed diversity are endangered from multiple threats, ranging from industrialized agriculture to habitat loss.<br> <br> <br> <br> In her book, What We Sow, gardener, <a href="https://www.cultivatingplace."></a>
