|  | The Soft Machine by William S. Burroughs
The soft machine of the title is, in fact, the human brain. In the second part of the Nova Tetralogy, William Lee (of JUNKY and NAKED LUNCH, Burroughs's fictional alter-ego) works for the Nova Police, travelling back in time to the Mayan civilization. The Nova Mob, a gang of aliens who have controlled humanity for 3,000 years through viral infections leading to various addictions, have worked within Mayan society and in particular the priesthood--establishing the calendar. Lee must redo the calendar, and bring to ruin the priesthood, and the structure it imposes on Mayan civilization. This book was originally published in 1961. AUTHOR: William S. Burroughs

 | Bear Dogs by Ted Wood
This photo-essay highlights the work of biologist Carrie Hunt and her team of Karelian dogs. Although Karelian dogs were bred to hunt and kill bears, Hunt has refocused her dogs' nature to merely scare bears so that they will be too intimidated to search for food in human environs. During the winter season, while the bears are hibernating, Hunt and her dogs travel to schools in order to teach others the dangers of feeding or having any sort of contact with bears.
