About this ebook
- A marine scientist, stuck at home during the pandemic, turns her scientific skills to the world of urban nature.
- Urban nature is a growing book genre since the pandemic.
- Maddalena Bearzi’s voice is compelling: She writes with warmth, candor, and caution for a general audience about the collective traumas of the pandemic and the challenges that still lie ahead as we face climate breakdown—issues of acute interest in the culture.
- Bearzi has been published with Harvard, University of Chicago, and has been featured on CNN, NPR, Al Jazeera, Los Angeles Times, American Scientist, and National Geographic among others.
- For nature lovers of all stripes, environmental scientists, and activists, readers of Braiding Sweetgrass and any book that attends to our connections with the natural world; this is a book with national appeal and particular interest to the LA market where the author is based and from which standpoint she is writing.
- Teaches readers how to become a citizen scientist through examples of observation, and also shows how observation leads to wonder at the spectacular that was hidden in the all-too-familiar.
- Features illustrations by the author.
