I learn my botany from a man who swears a lot and talks about societal problems while exploring construction zones.
ehh go fuck yourself bye…
One of us.
Botany science books lately?
Are you asking for suggestions? :)
Actually, yeah. Is there a biology or chemistry equivalent to Simon Singh’s The Big Bang?
I 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.
