Books like that have such an amazing way to bring attention to trees and plants to people with little interest in them first. I really enjoyed that book and shared it around me.
A similar book with that effect, also already mentioned in this thread, is “Other Minds” from Peter Godfrey-Smith. Wonderful entry level books and still interesting for experienced people.
“An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us“ by Ed Yong was one of my recent reads and I really enjoyed it.
I’d like to put in a plug for a book by an anthropologist friend of mine. It features a number of my photographs from iNaturalist and includes the link to the observation in the captions.
Aboriginal Peoples and Terrestrial Invertebrates in Australia: Historical and Cultural Relationships
By: Philip A. Clarke
I’m sharing this book as I’m going midway through but I can tell already I’ll love it and many people here would too:
Encounters of the fungal kind
By Richard Fortey.
Whether you know nothing at all about mushrooms or whether you know your fair bit, I’m sure you’ll appreciate this book about mushrooms and big fungi in general and how diverse they are.
I’m in the middle of “The Last Cold Place” by Naira de Gracia. So far it’s been a really engaging book. It’s great if you’re interested in field research and/or wildlife biology. It’s a memoir of the authors time as a wildlife technician for the penguins in Antartica.
