Silent Spring by Rachel Carson

April 1, 2023 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

Silent Spring, Rachel Carson’s powerful, 1962 non-fiction book documenting the damage caused by widespread and indiscriminate use of pesticides, has been on my TBR for a long time. I considered it something I simply had to read if I was going to continue to claim to be a science lover and environmentalist. I thought this would mostly be review for me since I’m already aware of the harm that DDT has caused. For one thing, I’m involved with an organization that supports conservation efforts around […]

November 13, 2022 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

CBR14 BINGO: New, because this is by an author I hadn’t read before BINGO: Minds, Adapt, Heart, Monster, New The extinction of species and the rapidly declining state of nature are problems that haunt me. I fear that I will live to see the day when the planet is no longer habitable, and I know I’m not alone. Yet most of us approach the problem with a feeling of learned helplessness: The problem is much too big and political for us to be able to […]

The Nature of Nature: Why We Need the Wild by Enric Sala

December 20, 2021 by KimMiE" 2 Comments

In the antepenultimate chapter of The Nature of Nature, conservationist and National Geographic Explorer in Residence Enric Sala shares the story of how, in 2012, he and some colleagues sought to persuade Gabonese President Bongo Ondimba of the importance of protecting the country’s marine life. The president listened politely to Sala’s presentation, but when his interest began to wane, the team offered to let Ondimba pilot a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) that would allow the leader to observe the life beneath the water in real […]

Surviving the Wild: Star the Elephant by Remy Lai

Surviving the Wild: Rainbow the Koala by Remy Lai

November 24, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Every so often, I locate a book that I read because I need something quick and something I do not want to put a lot of effort into it. However, this time, while the books were short and quick, I had to put my brain to work collection the facts and following the stories of two adorable creatures of the wild. There is a third title, Surviving the Wild: Sunny the Shark, but I have not had an opportunity finding for a readers copy, or […]
