Yey!!!!new video , recs, and love those science books for sure 👌. I'm gearing up for my tbr and looking up some of those that I do not have,the desk rocks!!!very relaxing , and nice ly,.....done
Still working on my Carl Safina,goodall, sharks,paper,pencil,wood ,cotton ,bees,whales, haha!!!!take your pick,but loving Bernard heinrich winter world!!°!°!°
It's so fascinating how modern genomic has re written some our taxonomic ideas. I think it really shows the wonder of convergence in evolution. Just to see how different pressures can bring about traits for doing business in the world (aerodynamics, sensory development, or whatever). To me, that is like the equivalent of spiritual experience to study that stuff. Life + environment... it's awe inspiring. It's triumphal to the max!
@@TriumphalReads holy crap, man. I checked him out and ended up ordering two of his books. He's got a number of really good-looking titles. An evolutionary biologist who is a cat lover, how have I not heard of this guy before? I'm excited to read these books. Thanks for the recommendation!
I have a science list and I just added some of these to the list. Thanks. I'm not sure what I'll get to this month. I hope I get to a science book, but we'll see.
Sounds a fun challenge, when i have finished tudortember is shall pick out some science non fiction, so it’s great that this is going on until the rest of the year.
This video reminded me that I have had Children of the Northern Forest on my TBR for a while now since you mentioned it a while back. I am going to get a copy and hopefully read it in September. So, I am taking part in the reading challenge. It may slip to October though. I suspect I would find books on the melting ice very scary. Then again, all the nature books I read seem to end with cautionary warnings. Forgive my ignorance. I though bobcats and lynx were the same thing. I have seen bobcats on occasion. I need to do a little study on lynx.
Glad you are participating Stuart! Yeah most nature books almost have to have some sort of obligatory mention or chapter of the climate crisis nowadays. And yeah lynx are a bit different than bobcats. They are physically fairly similar and they are even the same Genus so closely related too. Lynx have a bit different of a tail, bigger snowshoe feet, and have much longer hindlegs (they actually look a bit cartoonist when walking normal I think). Lynx are also generally a bit bigger but not drastically so
@@TriumphalReads Beyond the Spring by Chandler Richmond. About Cordelia Stanwood who was a self taught bird biologist is Ellsworth in the early part of the 20th century. Birdsacre in Ellsworth is her family’s old property.
Whoever bought you the autographed Book Do Furnish A Life, I hope you hold them in the highest regard! This September would be my last chance to meet him on tour, but I'm too busy to go, unfortunately, and this is his last tour. On the happy side, his new book is about two weeks away from arriving at my door. On that note, I have a question. When you participate in one of these events, what do you need to do? I've only ever done this once before, and I don't know if I did it right at all. Do you just put the name of the event in the title or description or something, and the person's name that came up with the event? I've heard a lot about events, but I really don't know how they work, haha.
Yeah usually when I participate I just do a vid with the books I plan on reading. I put the title in the vid title usually and talk about it a bit in the vid. But it's totally up to you. I put a hashtag in the description to if you want to use it but that was kind of an afterthought lol. But there's no real rules
@noeditbookreviews awesome, yeah you are very aligned with a lot of my thoughts on scientific illiteracy and science in general I feel and it's part of why I'm doing it. Plus your book selections are great!
