@SprtBookReviews @byAaronFisch The Barn by Wright Thompson. Nothing to do with sports — it’s a sobering and memorable book about the lynching of Emmett Till.

This photograph, taken last week, of a four-meter-long male crocodile is elevated by the lighting conditions at dusk. Three hours before, it was all too bright and any photographs would be less dramatic. He is believed to be over 110 years old and weighs more than 750 kgs.
