Specie in via di istinzione

Il titolo di questo post si riferisce alle librerie indipendenti, indie-bookshops, che in questo periodo sembra siano riuscite non solo a sopravvivere, ma anche ad avere un notevole successo, grazie a idee cretive.

The Reading Tree is one of 54 new independent bookshops to have opened in the UK and Ireland over the last year, from Rare Birds Books in Edinburgh to The Ivybridge Bookshop in Devon, and from The Athlone Bookshop in County Westmeath, Ireland, to Storyville Books in Rhondda Cynon Taf. For the first time in almost a decade, more than 1,000 indies are open for business: it is a sector thriving against the odds. Alison Flood, The Guardian

E si riferisce, sempre il titolo del post, alle lingue minori, che un progetto di Brown University, cerca di salvare.

At Brown, Indigenous students are keeping their native languages alive. An independent study project organized through the Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative is enabling students to strengthen their knowledge of international Indigenous languages, from Narragansett to Yoruba. Jill Kimball, Brown
