(Image credit: Pasi Helin via Getty Images)An unusually explosive peak in the sun’s solar cycle is fast approaching, which could spell trouble for a surprising group of animals — whales.

This is likely tied to whales’ ability…

Stieg Larsson’s death in 2004 left a near impossible hole to fill for fans of Swedish crime fiction — his renowned Millennium saga, kicking off with the bestselling novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, had quickly become a pop culture phenomenon, and the book’s legendary Gothic punk hacker Lisbeth Salander a global icon. But Stieg had planned for 10 installments in the series, and so the mantle was quickly picked up for books four, five, and six by another Swedish journalist and author, David Lagercrantz. His efforts were met with mediocre enthusiasm. For the seventh book, The Girl in…

We’re currently experiencing a heatwave in the UK, so we’re well and truly in what feels like the thick of summer. Even trench coats have fallen by the wayside, paving the way for light ensembles and one to two-piece outfits at best.Although many people enjoy bundling up to autumn, summer is my favourite season for fashion.
