      Where to find: annas-archive.org - DM me if you want the audiobook or cannot find it.

      • 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)
      • Nature’s Ghosts: The world we lost and how to bring it back by Sophie Yeo
      • 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

      Also, check out Crime Pays, But Botany Doesn’t, a great podcast. I believe he has a book.
