Talvi's Stunning Revelations.The clip provides a surprisingly thorough summary of the issue, but be warned: it's not for the faint of heart.

We surveyed thousands of readers and asked what they would like to see in a monthly giving program. Now, for the first time, we're offering three different levels of support, with rewards at each level, including a magazine subscription, books, tote bags, events and more—all starting at less than 17 cents a day. Check out the new Sustainer program.
