@@ACupOfBooks ditto. I really need to do a book buy ban. I read one book casually for a month or so. Not much time to read and I dispise audio books. So I have books for years to come🙃.
Tapestries of life sounds very interesting. I know it is a long way to go, but for next year springathon one of the prompts should be small (from small animals, to small hyperfocused topics, to small books). The forest unseen would fit perfectly on that prompt.
Plight of the living dead reminds me of toxo in cats given to people. I read a book years ago talking about autopsies in motorcycle crashes and people more likely to jump out of planes. ALL of the risk takers had toxo Another way it affects us humans it makes us impulsively buy more cats😂. No really! My aunt has 15 indoor only in a 4,500 sq ft large house and many other relatives have 5-10 cats. We love cats and has 2 but that was years ago and we are pet free now as caregiving for our medically fragile almost adult child is very taxing in many ways. Our family works better pet free❤. Im the only pet person😂
Oooo fun video. I own Feathers! But haven't managed to get to it yet... Thor Hanson always writes with so much enthusiasm. Great Adaptations piques my interest - added to TBR!
Where do I even start with this much nature nonfiction?! Haha, this is awesome. Thor Hansen is great, Forest Unseen is fantastic, Great Adaptations was fun (focuses only on handful of species he has personally studied), wasn't completely sold on that particular Mancuso book but I'd be willing to see if another of his works are better for me, Sverdrup-Thygeson is nice (will have to look into the one you mentioned, and Matt Simon is a blast, I have that one but haven't read it but have read another of his books about bizarre animals and their behaviors. Lots of great stuff all round Emma!
Excellent to hear! His one would have been just so perfect for Springathon but I couldn’t justify getting another book on top of The Sakura Obsession 🙂
What a great personal bargin. read 5 books off my shelves to buy one new. I've recently read two off my shelves and bought about 5, one of which I read right away. Can't do the math on that one. Does the one I bought that didn't quite get on my shelf count in which column. Great video and some very interesting books. I have the book Invention of Nature by Wulf, that I am hoping to get to during Spring-a-thon. I read Wulf's book The Magnificent Rebels which was excellent. Buy Plight of the Living Dead. I want to hear about that one ASAP
Definitely need to get Plight soon! The 5 out 1 in challenge has been really hard so far this year. I broke it recently but I’m putting some of those books in a box to ignore for a year as they were part of a classics collection, really difficult to get ahold off and super cheap so I don’t feel that counts 🤣
I want to read The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of the Earth by Zoe Schlanger. Libraries are ordering this book; check it out at your local library.
I get it with the no buy. I counted 272 unread non-fiction books on my shelf😂
So many books! I just wanna try and get my list down a bit

Great video❤🦦🪶🌲🌴🌳
Really liked what you said about remembering through repeated exposure.
Feathers and Plight Of The Living Dead sound like books I'd enjoy reading! Of course all of them sound good!! 🐇
Feathers I think will be so good. I loved his book on seeds.
Excellent list! Adding to the chorus of those who love David George Haskell.
He’s bumping up the list! I really should have just grabbed it for Springathon for the prompts; book buying ban be damned
Mountains of Fire sounds really good! also - you have probably inadvertently unlocked what is to me the coolest job ever; Professor of Volcanology 😎🌋
That is a crazy badass job. I’m definitely keen to branch out of biology into some other science topics like geology.

I like that. Reminds me of one year where non fiction November had matching prompts micro/macro

Yeah toxo is wild. It’s crazy how much it can affect our brains.
I'd like to recommend Pest - I really enjoyed it personally. Thanks for all the recs! Happy reading :)
Oh fab! Good to hear it was a good read 🥰

Yeah he’s one of those authors where you can really feel his love for the subject can’t you.

I knew you’d have some great opinions on loads of these titles. Good to hear many of them are worth the read!
Thor Hanson books are always good. David George Haskill is brilliant.
Excellent to hear! His one would have been just so perfect for Springathon but I couldn’t justify getting another book on top of The Sakura Obsession 🙂

OMG ! Everything is so interesting! But I vote for Plight of the Living Dead, « the creepy/cool thing »I like it too!🤗
Getting a lot of votes for this one! It does look fantastic however.
I want to read The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of the Earth by Zoe Schlanger. Libraries are ordering this book; check it out at your local library.
There’s a lot of plant intelligence books going around at the moment. Interesting little trend for non fiction.
