It’s no secret that we here at ELLE.com love leather pants. Walk around the office on any given day and you’re likely to see at least one of us wearing leather bottoms of some variety. Similarly to how Aritzia’s Melina pants has owned the faux leather trouser market, no faux leather legging is quite as popular as Spanx’s. Now through August 6, you can shop the style at a big discount during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. First things first: These are said to be both camel toe- and muffin-top-proofed. I don’t know what magic or science was used to create…
We’re a long way and a long time from Harlan County, folks. Justified: City Primeval Season 1 Episode 1 & Justified: City Primeval Season 1 Episode 2 set up our favorite U.S. Marshall for an intense new case, but it’s not just the criminal who’s new and different. The fifteen years that have elapsed have mellowed Raylan Givens, and fatherhood has clearly taught him some anger management strategies that hunting criminals never drove home.

As someone living with a disability, and a scholar, I have always looked to literature for hope. I have always searched for works that depict the human experience of illness and the power of the written word to get us through life’s adversities. Literature anchored me as I sought to make sense of pain, loss, and life. When I wrote Head Above Water: Reflections on Illness (Feminist Press), I was reflecting on what keeps us afloat, what helps us survive, and how storytelling can be a tool that we use to keep going. Here’s a list of the books that…
Bright idea: researchers in China have found a new way to accelerate electrons using pulses of light. (Courtesy: iStock/7io) A laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) that guides its laser beams along curved channels while accelerating electrons has been created by Jie Zhang and colleagues at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China. The new technique could be a key step towards the development of compact, inexpensive alternatives to conventional particle accelerators. In a LWFA, a dense plasma is created by focusing an intense laser pulse into a gas. As it moves through the gas, the pulse creates a region of alternating electric…

The Wonder State, Sara Flannery Murphy’s genre-bending novel, follows five friends as they reckon with a past betrayal. Brandi, now missing, has invoked (with a touch of magic) the oath they all made as teenagers. With her words ringing in their minds—”You promised”—the friends return to their small hometown in Arkansas. While Flannery Murphy was influenced by the Nancy Drew series and The Chronicles of Narnia, The Wonder State is darker than both.
