minus-squarefossilesque@mander.xyzOPMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·edit-22 days agoI do not know that one but adding it to my pile. :) I lean more ecology and systems, so I am sure there are some other good recs out there. Where to find: https://annas-archive.org/ - DM me if you want the audiobook or cannot find it (that goes for anyone). Anything by Robin Wall Kimmerer, notably Braiding Sweetgrass (most popular) and Gathering Moss (my fav) Changes in the Land: Indians, Colonists and the Ecology of New England by William Cronon (Love this one; it is a classic) Nature’s Ghosts: The world we lost and how to bring it back by Sophie Yeo (She refs people I know and like irl; just published - I have not gotten to it but my boss has and says it’s good. I trust his instincts more than mine!) The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing A Sand County Almanac: And Sketches Here and There by Aldo Leopold Otherlands: A World in the Making by Thomas Halliday Also, check out Crime Pays, But Botany Doesn’t, a great podcast. I believe he has a book.
