    MISSING Links and MISUNDERSTANDINGS ;
    “A History of Misunderstanding: In the largest study ever conducted, Israeli and Palestinian researchers reveal that both sides need to take a closer look at the books they teach,” by Emily Bazelon and Ruth Margalit. Monday marked the release of a new study comparing Israeli and Palestinian textbooks. Bazelon and Margalit write that the evenhanded study found flaws in both Israeli and Palestinian textbooks, but that the biggest problems were with Palestinian and ultra-Orthodox books.


    “Owl vs. Owl: Should the government shoot the spotted owl’s new enemy, the barred owl?” by Charles Bergman. After losing much of its Pacific Northwest habitat to logging, the spotted owl now faces a new threat from another owl species, the invasive barred wwl. The government of British Columbia has already approved plans to kill thousands of barred wwls, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may be following suit, but these solutions, explains Bergman, pose tough ethical questions and speak to the frustrating complexities of wildlife management.
