Clayton Collins
Director of Editorial Innovation

Losing access to a perfume might sound like a tolerable inconvenience. But in northern Nigeria, a scent derived from one particular wood has long been central to the cultural identity of the Borno people.

Against fear, they deploy a deep resolve.听

We also offer two essays on family bonding: one around reading, the other around an interest in animals kindled by the work of the late Jane Goodall.听
